Is this really a case of stupid is as stupid does or is Biden intentionally sabotaging Obama's campaign?  When Biden was talking with this group in Seattle did he not know what he said would go beyond the room?  Is this a case where Biden may have thought this was an insiders discussion where he could cater to the loons of the party and not be concerned what he said? 

When you look at all the gaffes in their totality, either Biden is thee most stupid politician in the country OR Biden is thee shrewdest on the order of Clinton.  Think about it, all the campaigning Clinton has done, it's been less than convincing and more of a Clinton adoration society meeting.  Even SNL has made a parody of it.

Here is my conspiracy theory of the week, what if the DNC decided that nominating Hillary would have lost them the Black vote permanently and they figured, heck, we have control of Congress and therefore the purse so what if lose the Presidency.  On the off chance Obama wins, at worst we will have a figurehead in the whitehouse since Obama being the empty suit that he is will take orders from us in any event, just like he did when we told him to vote against the Fannie and Freddie mortgage reforms in 2005 and 2006.  On the other hand if Obama loses, we still have the Black vote and have a compromiser in McCain which basically means most of our agenda will pass in any event.  We can't lose! 

With Biden on the ticket, Obama, the order taker, can at worst be a possible loose cannon IF he decides to fill the suit.  Biden seeing that Obama may just fill that suit after all after overhearing Obama spout off in private decides you know what, I may be partisan but I'm not willing to sacrifice my safety.  The Iraq issue is essentially settled so the anti-war fringe of the Dem Party have nothing more to say and therefore can't pressure us anymore.  We have their money and their votes in any event, so the safest bet for my vested interests is to sabotage Obama and let McCain win.  McCain being the overly gracious person he is, will even seriously contemplate allowing Biden a role in his Administration.  Obama goes back to being a feckless Senator and promptly shuffled off into obscurity like Geraldine Ferraro. Democrats have a habit of not nominating the same guy twice, so any attempted repeat performance by Obama is not an issue.  He will be there to trot out as the token minority to placate the victim group in order to keep them on the Dem plantation.

You're right on with this post. 

But i'll raise you a scenerio.  Not only will they cut military, they will increase "domestic" or "homeland" security funding.  Remember, a socialist government cannot expend itself on defense of it's borders, we proved that by outspending the USSR. 

But a socialist government has to spend on "internal security," because socialism raises discontent.  Expect to see increased spending on police, both local and national, under the guise of protecting us from the terrorist threats that will "test" Obama, or even the real threats that Obama/Biden hope for to form their legacy and entrench their security policies.  You'll see increase use and abuse of ATF, the FBI, etc.  You'll see something akin to storm troopers employeed by the IRS, because collecting revenues will become increasingly important to fund the Obama programs.

This is not hypothetical, it happens when any country goes socialist, facist, dictatorial, etc. 

Take the guns, expand the taxes, take the infrastructure over, expand the police powers, control the press.  Will make Waco and Ruby Ridge seem like the nostalgic good-ol-days of Clinton and Reno.

Obama let one of the guys who brought us this current economic meltdown pick for him.  Let a guy who could run a government-subsidized loan company into the ground pick your VP.  What judgement!

Let's ask a more prescient question.  Would Hillary be making these kind of gaffes if she were VP?  NOT

Where is Obama's judgment?  If Biden is a typical example of Obama's ability to choose important people to be his partners then what about the rest of the people he will choose?  If Obama can't even make a good choice for VP for what is arguably the most important office after the POTUS, then is there any reason why he should do any better with Cabinet Officials heading various government agencies like DOJ, HHS, Defense, etc?

Well...this makes Colin Powell's rationale for supporting Obama even more dubious. In fact, let's look at Powell's logic.

He cliams he is supporting Obama because he feels that Biden because of his experience would be better as a VP to be POTUS. What Powell failed to answer is who  has more experience that is actually running for POTUS.

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.
