Is there an offical pointless election banter thread anywhere?

Regardless of Palin\'s qualifications (or lack thereof) stealing the show, Biden deserves to be hammered as well for all his nonsense.  He clearly gave so many ridiculous or outright untruthful statements in the debate, but has 30+ years experience of delivering polished B.S. rhetoric to not make himself look as foolish as Palin.  I\'m not even going to start rattling off all the reasons, but there is a solid list that never makes into the scrutiny of the news.  This wasn\'t the first time the WSJ Editorial board has provided details that won\'t be presented by any of the Obama-Biden cheerleaders in the "mainstream media".  I doubt the majority of voters, especially the young and "Joe Six Pack" voters, know much if anything about him at all.

You mean the same MSM that McCain calls his "Base"

Ya they are so biased. :rolleyes

The thing that the above article fails to mention is that Palin didn\'t answer any of the questions. Biden on the other hand answered the questions and laid out Obama\'s plans. The only thing I see in the Oped is that a restaurant he used to go to is closed. The article says McCain "supported Bosnia" but it doesn\'t say whether or not McCain voted against it which was Bidens assertion in the debate. I find it telling that if they could have smacked that down outright they would have but they decided to be vague on purpose.

And again they play semantics games regrading what constitutes "the surge" or surge like policies.

The MSM is only biased by what sells. It is interesting that when they were hammering Obama on Rev. Wright or Ayers or Rezko that the other side wasn\'t saying they were biased. As soon as their team doesn\'t look so hot they claim bias.

And something to consider. If anyone in the senate knows McCain it is Biden. McCain, Biden and Gary hart were all drinking buddies, womanizers etc when they all were junior senators. Gary hart was McCains best man when he married in to money

Obama>Mcain
Biden>Palin

I read the article and found it interesting, but am I the only one that wants to read about music when I open a RS?  I think I\'m going to have to cancel my subscription and re-up with UNCUT.  That way I\'ll get actual music information and a free cd with each issue.

Rolling Stone has always covered politics. I am not sure why you were under the impression that they were solely a music magazine.

RS got it start as a political magazine. Hunter S Thompson rarely wrote about music and RS was his major outlet for most of his career. They were always critical of Nixon etc.

I\'m not against politics being in the magazine, but it\'s become (to me) overbearing and the writing are far from being Hunter in the talent category.  I never said that my issue was that either, I have more an issue with the fact that I have to get through 10 pages of fashion advertisements just to get to the table of contents and then I lose the last 6-8 pages to the same dumpy ads.  When you boil it down maybe 1/3 of the magazine is actually about music.  And as I stated previously... I\'m canceling my sub and re-upping with UNCUT where I\'ll actually get articles about music.

That is great!  I\'ll bet Biden would hit it backstage if Todd Palin wasn\'t on the scene.

I still can\'t believe she opened the debate with:

"There are some questions that when you ask me, I will not answer them directly. Instead I will say what I think the American people want to hear."

Which was basically a gaint FUCK YOU to the debate/American voting public.

[Gordo]

That\'s fucking hilarious.

just spit coffee all over my keyboard.

This election should be over now.  We cannot give that woman a chance in hell to lead our nation.

She did say that.

These debates are senseless because they never actually ever answer the question asked.

They should tighten the rules and give the moderator a cattle prod or taser and every time they drift away from the question, ZAP!

WE THE PEOPLE once ran this country but we willingly gave it away. Distracted by all this bullshit that we have in our daily lives, we find it convenient to let someone else do it.

I don\'t care who is the President as long as 1) They fear the people they governs 2) They do it right with the people in mind.
