Would you call this Obama’s first “attack” ad?
2. Muhranda | September 8th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

The L word I thought you meant was Liberal!

Isn’t Biden’s son a lobbyist? But then again wouldn’t you expect that from a 35 yeat washington pol.
4. Pat Cunningham | September 8th, 2008 at 6:59 pm

Kevin: Not exactly the first attack ad, but perhaps the strongest yet.
5. Pat Cunningham | September 8th, 2008 at 7:15 pm

RickA: Biden’s son isn’t running his dad’s campaign. McCain has scads of lobbyists running his.

Good Lord! Pat! Biden’s son is a lobbyist and he didn’t get there on his own! You should take back post 5….I used to think you were intellectual but not after that post..
7. Pat Cunningham | September 8th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

Kaus: Let me repeat: Biden’s son isn’t running his dad’s campaign. McCain has scads of lobbyists running his. Which part of that is incorrect? None of it! And please, Kaus, don’t start talking about intellectualism, a subject you are not qualified to even mention.

Yeah, Biden’s son (and his brother) are too busy, defending themselves from their fraud indictments.

They are busy defending themselves, just like Sarah, eh?

L is for Liars

Mr & Mrs Maverick

McSame:
7 of his top campaign are Washington lobbyist, Voted with Bush more than 90 % of the time

Palin:
She was FOR the Bridge to nowhere BEFORE she was against it

Politicians lying about their records = More of the same

More of the McSame

It is not called lying by politicians. It is called misremembering. I think it was made famous by the Clintons-although I don’t recall for sure!

L is for LIAR

LIE:
Palin said Fannie May @ Freddie Mac just got to big and expensive for the Taxpayers

TRUTH:
Fannie May and Freddie Mac were until NOW, Private Companies using NO taxpayer money.

LIE:
I told Congress, Thanks but no thanks for the Bridge to Nowhere

TRUTH:
Yet she TOOK the 223 million dollars that Congress had appropriated for the
Bridge to nowhere and used it among other things to build the Road to Nowhere, The road that would lead to the Bridge,…… To Nowhere !

She said at the time
This was Progress !

LIE:
She said she sold her predecessors private jet by putting it on e-bay

TRUTH:
The plane wasn’t sold on E-Bay, It was actually sold to a private individual …… At a huge loss to the State of Alaska

LIE:
She said she had to fire the Chef at the Governors Mansion

TRUTH:
Actually, The Chef is STILL on the Alaskan Payroll, As a …….Chef

LIE:
As Governor of Alaska she claimed that she never made any request for
Ear Marks but that Obama had.

TRUTH:
She not only DID request Ear Marks but even hired a lobbyist to go after
Ear Marks from Washington resulting in a $27 million dollar windfall for her
little town with a population of 6000 people which came to about $4500 per person.

Conclusion :

Sara Palin will make a fine Republican President

She has proven herself worthy of that title

To Pat (the intellectual pundit) who thinks that Biden has no lobbyists funding his campaign….During Biden’s 2008 presidential run, which he ended in January, his campaign raised $121,560 from lobbyists, employees at lobbying firms, and family members of lobbyists, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. That amount doesn’t include donations from in-house lobbyists at corporations or advocacy groups…..or his SON the Lobbyist.

Pat’s credibility (along with Obama’s poll numbers) is dropping by the day.
14. Kaus | September 9th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

As Pat and the rest of the Obama-nuts wallow in the minutia of Palin and what she did or did not do…..

Biden’s son, R. Hunter Biden, is a founding partner at law and lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair. William Oldaker, one of the firm’s other founders, has been a campaign adviser and fundraiser for Biden for 25 years, according to Delaware news reports. Biden is so close to former Rep. Marty Russo, D-Ill., CEO and senior vice chairman at lobbying firm Cassidy & Associates, that he is godfather to Russo’s granddaughter.

Clinton Did it !

You Forgot to add that
16. Kaus | September 9th, 2008 at 1:25 pm

Peter Gunn, I’m still waiting for you to refute the strong evidence that Clinton started the ninja loan fiasco. You must be related to Pat.
17. Peter Gunn | September 9th, 2008 at 2:17 pm

@ Kaus

And I’m still waiting for the answer to
my previous question concerning your
accusation about that 20th Century Politician by the name of Clinton

What was the amount of the debt owed
to China under the Clinton Administration ?

And what is it NOW after eight years of
so called Fiscal Conservative Rule of which you are advocating at least Four More Years under McSame ?.

And No, I’m not related to Pat

Are you related to SNuss the Swift Boat Captain ?
18. Kaus | September 9th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Wake up Peter….The Clintons are well connected to selling National Security Secrets and encryption techonology to the Chinese in return for campaign financing…..what a disgrace YOU and your party are to America. Get out of your ostrich hole and smell the coffee.
