Palin's Attacks - Whimper Whimper
Sarah Palin's convention speech has been criticized by Senator Biden as nothing more than a divisive attack speech. Senator, isn't that why we picked YOU for the ticket? Weren't YOU supposed to be the attack dog for Obama to take...more »

Dick Morris Re: Palin - Please Comment

Why I Support Increasing Our Domestic Oil Production Capacity
While it's been pointed out time-and-again that Bush's proposal to open up more areas to drilling is a farce, mainly because there are already open areas that haven't been tapped yet, I think the basic idea is sound PROVIDED it...more »

"Pretending"...too funny. I've contributed more to Obama's campaign since the primaries. I get 3 e-mails a day from them asking for more money.
You are sadly mistaken on many levels. Criticism is not attacking. Berating the softness of our candidates and weakness of our representatives is not attacking. It is our responsibility as their constituents to question their tactics and demand better from them.
But hey, if you want to drink the kool-aid and "baa baa baa" along as they piddle away the election, that's your right. Just don't expect me to go along with it. Good luck.

Wow. Just wow. Drink the kool-aid or you're a troll, huh?
You, sir, are a sheep.

Not buying it. The sexism card backfired when Hillary tried it. It will backfire if Palin tries it, too, if we can maintain our aggression, resolve, and poise.
This soft attitude is what cost us in 2004. We can't afford to give an inch this time. Sorry if that comes across to you as whimpering but I don't see it that way. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.
Perhaps at some point you'll recognize the honesty and sincerity of my position, realize we're on the same team, and apologize for calling me a "fuckin' liar". I won't hold my breath, however.

When Biden complains about the other side attacking, when his own expected role in the campaign was to be the aggressive attacker, I find that to be akin to whimpering. Call it whatever you want, the result is the same.
I did not lie. Not one word. I want my ticket to be aggressive. We've been rolling over for years and I'm sick of it. If I see even a moment of weakness I'll call them on it. That's not whining, that's setting expectations.

There's a video headline there that quotes Biden. The headline says "Palin's speech 'all about attack', Dems' Biden says".
Click on it. Watch the video. While Biden tries the platitudes of praising the speech, he started whimpering about it being "all about attack" and from the "Karl Rove" playbook, etc. etc.
Yeah, I'm a fuckin' liar. Thanks for the insults.

They didn't mock community organizers. They mocked the fact that it didn't make him qualified to be President. The Obama campaign has used it as part of his resume. It's fair game, in my opinion.

Dean, this is ridiculous. Getting money for a youth center, transportation improvements, and sewer repairs is hardly pork barrel. What, are they supposed to be privately funded?
Money for a Woodstock Museum SHOULD be privately funded. Any government money for that could definitely be construed as pork barrel.

I've known a lot of people who were "raised Catholic" or "raised Lutheran" and they are the farthest thing from being Christian. Indeed, it is often this upbringing that drives them from the Church.
There is nothing anti-Semitic with anything Palin said here. You are projecting.

This whole population argument is just silly. Biden is from Delaware and the population there is only about 800k. Does that mean his 36 years are worthless? Come on, guys. Let's be a bit less intellectually obtuse.
