After watching the debate I decided to review the transcript because I heard some very essential sound bites. Let's go over them to see how their points pan out.
Joseph Biden: "I'm not going to change. I have 35 years in public office. People can judge who I am. I haven't changed in that time." Obama's Campaign Slogan - Change We Can Believe In:
Sarah Palin: "John McCain is the leader of that reform"
Joseph Biden: "Can I respond to that?...He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there."
Joseph Biden's Budget Votes:
3/14/2008 Yes
3/23/2007 Yes
5/10/2001 No
4/13/2000 No
4/25/1999 No
4/28/1998 No
5/25/1995 No
If we relied on Joe Biden's votes where would the budget be? He doesn't vote for his own party's budgets. He does and doesn't vote for George Bush's budgets. Instead of worrying about John McCain's votes Joe Biden should look at his own record. You need to pass a budget to keep government operating.
Sarah Palin on the budget: "There have been times where, as mayor and governor, we have passed budgets that I did not veto and that I think could be considered as something that I quasi-caved in, if you will, but knowing that it was the right thing to do in order to progress the agenda for that year and to work with the legislative body, that body that actually holds the purse strings."
Sarah Palin: "Being a mom, one very concerned about a son in the war, about a special needs child, about kids heading off to college, how are we going to pay those tuition bills? About times and Toddand our marriage in our past where we didn't have health insurance and we know what other Americans are going through as they sit around the kitchen table and try to figure out how are they going to pay out-of-pocket for health care? We've been there also so that connection was important." Is that Republican speak or Democrat speak?
Next Joes' attempt to connect to America.
Joe Biden: Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years.
Sarah Palin: Say it ain't so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let's look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future.
Obama picked Biden who has been a Senator for 10 years longer than John McCain. Yet the slogan is "Change You Can Believe In." John McCain picks Sarah Palin, a newcomer, and she is criticized for lack of experience. She represents what real change means in Washington, bringing in outsiders and getting rid of the insiders. Biden wants to keep talking about Bush's past. Even Bob Cratchit had to get over the ghost of Christmas past.
Paul Kanjorski, can you hear the herd coming?

Let's Talk About Fairy Tales
Let's talk about fairy tales. Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972. McCain was elected in 1982. So who's been part of the 'ole boy network longer? Obama talks about change. "Change we can believe in." He picks Biden who's there since 1972 and ignores Hillary who was only elected to the Senate in 2000. McCain picks Palin who has never been there but Obama talks about change. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. The 'ole boy network all of the sudden has a crack in its presentation.
Let's get on about drilling in ANWR. There are those that say drilling in ANWR will not drill us out of our problem. Wake up. Oil is a global commodity not just a United States commodity. If extra oil is added to the world supply market forces will correct price even if it is just a small correction. One expects the United States to go to Saudi Arabia and ask them to increase production to bring the global price down while we sit on our own oil. Saving it for exactly what?? We are giving our money to people who would want to see us dead. Why give them a dollar when we can give ourselves the money? Use ANWR as a bridge until we conclusively reach a point of real commercial production and applications of alternative energy. Did someone say we should walk more and take care of the obesity epidemic while we are at it? Nahhh,,,sounds too simple.
DCNR just sold leases on a little over 74, 000 acres in north central PA, land it owns, for about $189 million. You can read all about it here. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/Forestry/gaslease.aspx Beautiful pristine forests like we all see in northeast PA. I had a pilots license and flew over this area many times.
To listen to the pundits we should not to drill in ANWR which is a desolate place so we don't ruin its environment. Here is a video to watch about exactly what we are talking about http://www.anwr.org/flash.htm and more information can be found here.http://www.anwr.org/backgrnd/where.htm Yet no one is complaining about the land in PA that soon will be sights for gas exploration rigs.
DCNR has over 2 million acres in its inventory. If it is okay for PA, and I don't have a personal problem with it, why are we allowing others to sell us a bag full of bull about ANWR?Back to that $189 million the state never had before. So do you think they are going to use it for highways or bridges? Or more of the same from Rendell and out of control spending.
