    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121I concur. Obama has played this game very, very well. He's kept a cool head while McCain and his band of hacks has flailed wildly, losing ground all the way, and I think the Repubs are realizing that their goose is cooked. Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, who was fairly even-handed through most of the year has started shilling shamlessly for McCain.

    Newsweek has a new cover story on Palin called the "Palin Problem." I only read the first half but basically it says the number one reason why Palin was picked by the McCain campaign was because they thought she'd be popular with the public. Otherwise, she doesn't really know anything (duh!). b,121b,121This brings me back to a line she had at the convention that I think got overlooked, but she was giving a reply about why McCain picked her, and the first thing she said was because she was a "mother." b,121b,121Her husband is a "joe sixpack," she's a "hockey mom," and therefore she should be vice president of the United States because Washington is a bad place and it needs "mavericks" like her and McCain to clean it up. This is what has become of American politics.b,121b,121Here's a link:b,121b,121a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/162396" target="_blank"1http://www.newsweek.com/id/162396/a1

    I just watched 3 or 4 of those Hannity video. This is serious. b,121b,121Harvey Canal needs to watch this. He, like me, thought that Obama was a typical warmongeringwallstreetlovingmiddleoftheroad Democrat. But, now we know he believes the same stuff we do!b,121b,121Among other things we find out that Community Organizing is an attempt to overthrow the government by socialist. We also learn that Louis Farakkahn lives in Chicago, just like Obama!b,121b,121AS for Collin Powell, who cares? The left hates him because of his lies, the right hates him because he was disloyal. b,121b,121What Obama needs is someone with credibility with Republicans to endorse him. Maybe GHW Bush.

    b,121MEGALOLZ.
    b,121
    b,121During the course of his answer he stated that article I refers to the executive branch(it defines the legislative powers of congress). Stated that the VP is exclusively part of the executive branch(VP is mentioned in article's I and II - article II being the article which actually refers to the executive branch). Stated that cheney's idea that the VP is part of the legislative branch is a bizarre notion invented by cheney'(the article biden incorrectly cited as referring to the executive branch actually names the vp as the president of the senate and historically the vp has had no executive power, it is only in the last 70 years or so that the vp has been granted executive power by the sitting president).
    b,121
    b,121Palin's answers have been mocked here as being largely generalisations, and while her answer on this question was general, it was also far closer to the truth than biden's. The ability to be wrong in detail is not a virtue.

    b,121
    b,121OK Article I section 3 talks about the vp exercising the office of the POTUS. I don't know about you, but that sounds kinda executive to me. All other mentions of the vp emphasizes limited legislative powers for the vp. Article I talks about the senate election of a President pro tempore. PPT is the person who actually does the role of senate president, because the writers of the Constitution had no intention of allowing the vp to part of the legislative branch. The vps only connection to the Senate is when there are tie votes.
    b,121
    b,121Section II begins by stating that the POTUS shall hold office with the VPOTUS who are elected together.
    b,121
    b,121Yet you, and your intellectual hero Palin, believe that means that vp is both part of and separate from both branches of power.
    b,121
    b,121I suggest you actually read the Constitution and not the Rush Limbaugh edited cliff notes before coming around here.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121When will you learn that you way too dumb to F*ck with dolo the honorable?b,121b,121I criticised biden for falsely referring to article I as being in reference to the executive branch, falsely stating that the duties of vice president resides solely in the executive branch, and for falsely criticising cheney's view that the vice president can be best thought of as having 'a foot in both branches' as a 'bizarre notion'.b,121b,121Your attempted rebuttal, as mangled as it is*, only confirms my criticisms in that it demonstrates that the VP is mentioned in both articles and it is only in article I, that referring to the legislative branch, in which ANY specific duties are outlined. b,121b,121* The president pro tempore is not the 'true' president of the senate. His role is exactly as the constitution describes it; to fill in for the absense of the vice president or when the vice president if filling in for the absense of the president(illness ect.) Pro tempore means "for the time being".b,121b,121*section I of article II(not section II of article I) begins by stating quite clearly "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America". The next sentence describes that the pres and vp are elected by the same process and for the same time, not that they share executive power. The vice president wields only as much executive power as the president delegates to him.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121It's actually something that I found interesting, and I don't really fully believe it, but found it an apt description in the case with Dolo.b,121b,121But you know, dude, I'm just a "cowardly Democrat."

    b,121There's a huge difference between Dolo and Eli (Vitamin.) This dude is just trolling.

    b,121He's doing the SAME EXACT THING the rest of you are doing except he's doing it for "the other side".
    b,121
    b,121Do you think if guys like Saracenus or YP or most of the political contributors here posted their material at a Conservative leaning site it would be considered "trolling"...of course it would.
    b,121
    b,121The general vibe here is that this is a Left/Liberal/Dem site and others are not welcome.
    b,121
    b,121Even revelling in the fact that "there are no Republicans" here.

    b,121If that's what the way the majority wants to be, cool.....I think it sucks and is the very definition of intolerant..

    b,121Music appreciation should be apolitical.

    Rock, don't you get it? If Obama wins, that means everyone who voted for him is better than you. b,121b,121Seriously, and this has definitely been an issue for me in the past, it doesn't even have to be the Democratic candidate who shows flaws...it's the supporters of those Democratic candidates who can't wait to show jut how petty and ugly they can be.b,121b,121For people who actually are interested in ALL OF US making progress TOGETHER, it can be quite the deal-breaker. b,121b,121But I guess I'm just a troll whose opinion doesn't count.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Yeah man you're absolutely right. But guess what, man? I guess I'm intolerant towards Republicans and / or "those people" who align themselves with an ideology of such hatred and bigotry, an ideology that is against everything in my core. F*ck it, that's how it is...
