When putting Governor Sarah Palin and all her amazing accomplishments next to Joe Biden it becomes difficult to compare the two. Probably because there is no comparison. Joe Biden has done absolutely nothing with his life for 30 years except for exploit American voters for the purpose of forcing socialism on the country. On the other hand we have Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska who is only 44-years old and has taken more action and accomplished more as a public servant and executive than any of the candidates running for President today. She nearly overshadows even John McCain, and frankly makes Joe Biden look like the jackass and baffoon that he is.
From A. W. R. Hawkins writing at Human Events (first link in excerpt mine):
When Democrat Barack Obama brought Sen. Joe Biden on board, pundits of every stripe referred to it as a move to add gravitas to the ticket. This theory was not disputed, and it appeared Obama was indeed betting on the foreign policy experience of the “great statesman” to lift his campaign above the arguments about Obama’s own inexperience. As the public waited for Biden to give his convention speech in Denver last week, they anticipated being wowed by the knowledge and insight he would bring to the table.
But it was not to be. Biden gave his speech, and while the public was still digesting it and the spin doctors were still spinning it, Republican John McCain announced Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and crashed Biden’s party. As a matter of fact, now that McCain has named Palin as his V.P., I can’t even remember what Biden said in his speech. And I bet most other Americans don’t, either.
Poor Biden: his attempts to land a gig in the White House have never gone smoothly. When he tried to secure the Democrat nomination for president in the 1988 race, he had to drop out because people discovered that he was plagiarizing the speeches of a British Labor Party leader named Neil Kinnock. (Actually, he not only stole Kinnock’s words. Biden hijacked his whole life story).
When he ran for his party’s 2008 presidential nomination, he had to drop out in the midst of the primary elections because no one cared whether he was in the race or not (he only drew 1% of the vote in the Iowa caucus in January 2008). And now, in what promised to be his best run for a national office yet, he finds himself facing off against a beauty queen-turned-governor from Alaska, who has the tenacity of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan’s conviction that peace comes through strength.
Just for kicks, I looked up the text of Biden’s convention speech and tried to re-familiarize myself with it. (It just seems like it was so long ago since he gave it now.) As I reconsidered it, I realized I had given him too much credit by originally thinking his speech was average. In reality, his speech was nothing less than an attack on the ideals of a free society and an admission that his years in Washington have taught him that people ought to rely on government rather than themselves. This was evident from the way his opening lines about how his parents taught him to be responsible for himself soon gave way to “I’ve never seen a time when Washington has watched so many people get knocked down without doing anything to help them get back up.”
Biden also talked about loyalty in his speech, and how his parents had instilled the importance of it in him. Then he described McCain as a friend, and proceeded to verbally assault him with an endless array of half-truths and insinuations. Is this the loyalty his parents taught him to show to friends?
One other quick point before moving on. After recounting the tough, rugged-individualism his father had instilled in him, he said, “I wish my dad was here tonight.” Why did he say this? Why would he want his father to see that he doesn’t have a friend he won’t turn on to draw applause, and that he has traded the ideals of self-reliance for the enslaving philosophy of socialism?
Continue reading the column from A. W. R. Hawkins at the link above. Hawkins' words are a devestating indictment of Joe Biden's behavior and character throughout his career as a U.S. Senator. Couple that with Ann Coulter's detailed report on Biden's plagiarism of Neil Kinnock's speach and you have an all-around loser. Frankly, it's offensive for the Democrats to even run a human being like Biden against Governor Palin; not only to women but to the American People in general. The guy is just creepy. Biden is even creepier than Obama in some ways, and Slow-Joe's only the third most liberal Senator in Congress. A feat unto itself to be sure.
Joe Biden; decades-long socialist, plagiarer, sexist. That must be a satisfying combination for liberals across America! When it comes to Governor Sarah Palin Joe Biden should be afraid, be very afraid. However, being the pompous liberal jerk that he is; Biden won't even see the death blow to his pathetic campaign coming until it's all over.
