That's such total BS, I'm amazed the Dems even try to make it an issue. Bottom line is that this lady is smarter and has far more valuable experience than your funny candidate. One way or another the VP is the leader of the Senate. Maybe her words could have been a little better finetuned to your liking, but I doubt it: you guys are scared of her and nitpick through everything she says, which is understandable. On the other hand, where were you when the guy with the big ears said that he "had been in all 57 states"?
Barry Hussein Obama makes a "mistake" and it's a mistake. ANYONE on the other side makes a mistake and they're crucified. It's the way of the hypocrite liberals.
I love it when McCain debates himself; consider all the tax rhetoric er BS he is spreading about taxes and then see what he said not that long ago: " Q.: Why is it that someone like my father who went to school for 13 years gets penalized with a huge tax bracket beacause he is a doctor? McCain: I think that to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more. Q (amid dissapointed murmur in crowd): Are we getting closer to like a SOCIALISM and stuff like...? McCain: Here's what I really believe that when you're reaching a certain level of comfort there's nothing wrong with paying more. "
WRONG...if you are not a US citizen then you are forgiven...the VP PRESIDES over the senate and cast a tie breaking vote. NO WAY shape or form does the VP " LEAD" the senate. There is a very big difference between calling a meeting to order and leading the discussion.
More leftist BS wordsmithing... The title is Vice President of the United States (President of the Senate) . Now, what's the difference between the word "leader" loosely used in my original post and the official title "President" that is written in the VP job description? Isn't our "President" the "Leader" of this country? How about in academe? In business? Don't ordinary people use those two words interchangeably for the most part? You may argue that the VP is not leading in everyday Senate affairs but only in special situations. But most CEOs do exactly the same thing: they only put their foot down when their subordinates are stuck and cannot make up their minds which way to proceed. C'mon you guys, here we are talking about the essence of things from the perspective of the American people (and yes, I am an American, are you?) not useless archaic semantic distinctions that make no difference to anyone.
Yannis...I'm sorry for you as you are judged by the company you keep (or admire) Should the US be saddled with Palin for the next 4 years she will make us long for W:eek:
