    Great Choice!!!

    We Conservatives were hoping for Biden. I am betting the Obamaniacs haven't even considered the huge conflict with the Catholic Church that is now coming. Heh, heh. Serious business...there's been major conflict with the American bishops and Rome about the fact that these baby killers who are wearing their Catholicism on their sleeves be denied communion. No one's got the guts to do it and the DC Bishop has been dodging the bullet Rome keeps firing...he likes the golf courses of Va and the DC cocktail parties too much. Well Biden goes to mass in Delaware and his Bishop down there is now going under the gun. How freakin' naive is Obama??? THis was a major distraction for John Kerry 4 yrs ago and Obama needs to alienate Catholics even less than Kerry did. He just shot himself in the foot.

    As for the slip of the lip? Of course it was simply that. Biden's attraction is his perfect age....65. If McCain is too old now, as the Dimocrats say, well Biden will be older than McCain is now when a hypothetical Obama administration ends in 8yrs. Biden brings the experience and maturity without the ambition. For the Dimocrats (party of the radical feminists, homosexuals, Marxists, athiests, uneducated, lazy, illegals) Biden is a solid pick. And Obama (and McCain, and Hillary, etc) is entitled to make them all day long. Campaigning is an inhuman activity.
