Yes, we're all glad that you aren't one 70-something year-old heart-beat away from the Presidency.

She said, "Me not be a dictator."  It's slightly less Tarzan-like with the indirect article.

Joe Biden exhibits arrogance not stupidity.  There's a difference between acting stupid and being stupid.

Completely misstating the greatest financial crisis the country has ever faced...when talking about the 2nd greatest financial crisis we've ever faced...while we're in the middle of that crisis...is STUPIDITY

Elaborate on "completely misstating."

If you use the example I think you're going to use, then Sarah Palin has completely misstated basic economics, the world map, the English language, the American dream, etc.

He didn't know who was President at the time of the stock-market crash.  He then attributed an action to this President that was practically impossible at the time.  But wait...it gets better...he actually tried to use this garbled sense of history to criticize President Bush. 

I'm no Palin fan, but I find it comical that she's mocked while this genius is about to be our Vice-President.

Bitter?  Did I not just say that I'm no Palin fan?

The merits of Biden's choice as VP are arguable, but that's not my point here.  I'm merely criticizing the relentless mockery of Sarah Palin when I believe Joe Biden has committed more gaffes than she has.  And you can believe that Biden is "far better" than McCain (in what context I don't know) but I'll respond by challenging your claim of being an independent in your forum profile.

John McCain showed that during unsettling times he's not steady and ineffective as a leader.

Obama picked a good Vp and McCain picked a wack job from Alaska.

I don't think theres any question about those FACTS.

You'll have to be more specific.  I'm not going to respond to your ill-defined opinions which you claim to be facts. 

 1. Suspending my campaign to handle matters that I have no control over. 

2. I wanted somebody else to be my vice president, but I allowed staffers to make the decisions. Better Yet why not take advice from somebody who works at Foxnews.

3. Wasting Money on a state that has not gone red in 20 years, instead of defending the 286 Ev I already had.

4. Not staying on message ... better yet lets start a new one every week.

5. Saying the fundamentals of the economy was "strong"  2 hrs before the Dow Jones hit 777.

6.  Announcing that you are pulling out of a major state because you stand no chance.  Gee, I wonder what kind of message that sent to Places like OH, IN, PA?    = all voted for Obama by the way.

7. Using some bum plumber as a prop and slam your opponent of giving out "welfare checks", only for this prop to be on welfare himself.

8. Admitting "I don't know Much about the economy" during a year of economic hardship.

9. During the debates acting like I had just seen a ghost.

Bottomline John McCain was not ready for the office of president no more then Palin was ready for the Office of vice president.

Obama and Biden showed otherwise and they are now currently elected.

I think that's the biggest one. Even Herbert Hoover wasn't that dumb.

Of course not!  Everyone agrees with the talking points over at Kos, so they are downright incontrovertible!

He wanted me to lay out my case and I listed it.

Now you call it talking points from Kos?

I don't even care for the far left sites no more then I care for the far right  nonsense.

I've asked before but a) how was he to predict the fall of the Dow Jones 2 hours in advance and b) how does a stock market crash disprove the statement "the fundamentals of the economy is strong"?

Okay, you just picked apart McCain's campaign.  You're not breaking any new ground here.  You believe an election campaign somehow correlates to preparedness to lead the country?  Well, President Bush and Karl Rove ran tight and effective campaigns...How did that turn out for you?  And if you based your assessment of the candidates on how well their campaigns were run, then I believe you were underinformed and probably shouldn't have voted.
