The Palin Mistake

Absolutely correct. When a military unit moves from it's stateside home to a theatre of operations, it has been deployed, both troops & equipment, and equipment includes all weapons systems that the particular unit has whether conventional or otherwise. Edited by bluescat48, : spelling

No, i'm not charismatic, nor am i willing to figratively 'sell my soul' to get elected. Plus my skin color is wrong for a bunch of people to elect me for historic reasons alone.Of course, I might have in the past, and you just don't know it... Sorry about that. my bad But since you feel that way, then you must have been in a hole for 8 years, considering the word mihaps Bush has made over the years, along with being able to push "the Button". Because with Billy Clinton out of office, we need some new material.Edited by LudoRephaim, : No reason given.

"The Nephilim where in the Earth in those days..." Genesis 6:4

Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover's image was transmitted from DC to New York in 1927, so televisions actually did exist by 1929. They were just very rare.Also, it's not clear that Biden was referring to FDR's Fireside Chats or to President Roosevelt; and neither did Biden state that Roosevelt addressed the nation, as some bloggers have accused him of doing.In 1929, Roosevelt was governor of New York and would have been in a position to be on television during the crash in Oct 1929. Particularly since television sets were available to the public by that time and he had already started his fireside chats in March 1929 (while governor of New York) at the same station that had already broadcast the first television drama, The Queen's Messenger, in 1928 -- Schenectady, NY station WGY. Roosevelt was well aware of the power of radio, so it would not be a stretch to suggest he would have recognized the power of television.A little more digging into the historical archives could confirm whether Roosevelt addressed New Yorkers via television during the crash of 1929 or not, but as far as I've been able to research, Biden's statement is still plausible.

One of the most despicable things I have read in a long time, Buz's rantings notwithstanding. You should be ashamed. I am sure you are not, typical Right Wing Authoritarian double standard.On Palin... As an Alaskan I have watched Palin for many years. One of the joys of this campaign has been watching the rest of you learn how much she sucks. None of her gaffes were a surprise to us.One point I find really telling and hilarious is how she was treated by AK Repubs before and during the presidential election. Many (if not most) of my friends are Republicans (not your typical neocons, more that rebellious libertarian-type conservatives). After Sarah became governor they almost to a person expressed great regret, after more and more of her policies only worsened our economy after the great Murkowski debacle. However, within the week of her VP nomination the prior 18 months suddenly disappeared, they all claimed to love her and claimed to have always loved her. Those of us paying attention find such things to be really really funny.

Why? What if he's Mexican?

Indeed, I could be chinese for crying out loud.

Like most of the people on here, and countless others, who are bashing Palin? Like Jon Stewart telling her "Fck you." and Betty White calling her a "Crazy Btch", and you saying she "sucks"? Like SNL making the statement that palin's coming grandchild was fathered by Her husand?Its okay on here to bash palin and McCain and the like, but once you bash Obama and his followers, ITS WAR!!! As opposed to Obama, who blows?Edited by LudoRephaim, : No reason given.

Not sure where you picked up that idea. I mean seriously, check out the Daily Show coverage of the DNC for some good Obama-bashing.Besides, you'd probably defend McCain or Bush or many other republicans from liberal bashing, right? So why the tirade against liberal defense of our own from conservative bashing?

Not quite right. The winds usually blows West to East over America, so it is Palin who blows and Obama who sucks.

Yes, except any president who was of color would be a historic event in this country. You know damn well what you meant.

Jon Stewart's "Fuck You" was, if I remember correctly, in response to the story that under Palin's mayorship the police of Wasilla charged rape victims for their rape kits, an act that frankly deserves a "Fuck You" in the least. The SNL sketch was clearly satire of the media who knew nothing of Alaska.

soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world
And so there was only one thing I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry
Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan
Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On
*not an actual doctor

It's the exact same thing, only we wear a uniform. Barracks at night are a frat-houses.And in my defence I joined in 94, when Clinton was at the helm, it was safe for us. I would not have joined with GWB in charge. Then again im 33 now so I don't know what the 18 year old me would have done with a GWB admin. I was really gun-ho at 18 so I probably would have joined anways.

Even if we take the second sense of the word deploy (and I do think that's the one Biden intended), it still isn't a gaffe because Pakstan did indeed deploy nuclear wepons in a test site. (But not against other countries).

Actually, it was in reference to the "real American . . .small town America" statement Palin made. The statement that insinuated anyone from a large town was not "American". Of course, that would mean that half of the 79% of americans who live in urban areas (including suburbs)--the half living in cities larger than 50,000 people--are arguably not "American".Quite insulting to say the least.The rape kit charging deserves a "fuck you", but I don't think JS was referring to that.

Actually it insulted those who live in any size residential area, not just large cities. This would be just about the entire area of such states as Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island & New Jersey
