What right-wing blog did you get this out of, snoop?
Biden, definitely!
I feel bad for Senator Biden. Just because Ms. Palin didn't suck, as expected, we're calling that debate a draw. Pat Buchanan even claimed afterward, that she won!!! It goes to show, we all have to get involved to come to our own conclusions. To me, Palin seemed all over the place with her answers. She came across as incoherent, rude, and clueless. She gave less specifics than Biden and answered very few questions directly. I did my fact-checking the morning after (both told lies); hers were just more insidious. Most troubling was learning that she wants to expand the powers of the vice presidency, like Cheney does.
Palin lied about Obama voting to raise taxes on those making $42,000.
Palin lied about being at pre-surge levels of troops in Iraq
Palin lied about being in favor of divestiture of Alaska's funds in Darfur.
Palin lied about McCain being in favor of allowing the government to force mortgage holders to restructure borrower's loans
Shall I go on? There are plenty more.....
