I was reading the newspaper online today as I sat in my little kitchen in a suburb or Chicago and I thought I would share OTHER people’s comments on the choice for V.P.! These comments come from both sides of the aisle. I’m just copying and pasting…I am in no way altering their comments…how fair would that be?

Why, Barack? Why? You want “change” so you go and choose a six-term senator who is the definition of a shmucky Washington politician. I think I am going to be sick…

I thinks its funny that Obama picked and old white guy. Isn’t that what McCain is?? Just wondering

In 1970 when I returned from Vietnam to be Honorably discharged at Travis AFB CA.,We were told to ware civilian clothes because the weather underground were throwing blood on sevicemen around the airport. We still had shorthair, so fortunately that day thet just spat at us. Bill Aires and his wife are friends with Obama.

Wow! An inexperienced politician who can only attack his rival with a series of baseless half-truths pairing with the quintessential Washington insider certainly seems par for the course.
And I thought this campaign was supposed to be about “change”. Instead, Obama has proven himself to be just a typical power-hungry politician. Shocking? No.
We should have nominated Hillary Clinton. In four years when we look back Obama will just be the latest in a line of … Dukakis, Gore, Kerry …

Another liar. I just watched on the news a couple days ago Biden telling the media as he got into his car he was not chosen. Bird brains of a feather flock together.

We should remember that Biden not only plagarized a speech during his failed Presidential run but he also lifted a Masters degree. He claimed to have a Masters degree, that upon further review he never earned. I believe he enrolled for the program but disenrolled before it began, never took a day of instruction but claimed on his bio that he earned the degree. When this came out the media covered it and he had to withdraw.
It should be noted that the Democrats feel they need the Catholic vote to win, Biden being Catholic. It should also be noted that the Democrats are losing the Catholic vote primarily over their constant attacks on religion and support of abortion. The Pope kind of likes religion and feels abortion is wrong. Catholic members follow the lead. Throw in that Democrats support the ghastly Partial-birth abortion practice and Obama supported infintacide as an Illinois State Senator, I doubt they get the Catholic vote. I also recognize that many Democrats do not support infintacide or partial-birth abortion. At the national level the Democratic party supports abortion on demand as a rule of thumb. Disgusting!

What? | 9:11 a.m. Aug. 23, 2008
Obama has friends like Write, Fleggar [sic] and Ayres and now picks a known plagiarist for his running mate? What’s next? The real idiocy of the dems are showing by picking this guy as their man….” Change You Can Believe In” is nothing more than a slick con line.

I registered and voted in the primary election for “Change you can Believe in”. Now Obama goes and picks a 30 year washington politician” was there no state governor that was Qualified? This is not chnage it is the same old crud we always get from politicians.
I do not think I’ll be voting this November because it appears that it will just be the same old thing as always so what does it matter, it just a waste of my time.

Change? | 9:42 a.m. Aug. 23, 2008
He calls for change and he picks a Washington Dinosaur. So much for demonstrating change.

Madden | 9:54 a.m. Aug. 23, 2008
More proof that Obama is about following polls (foolishly) to try and win it. If he stuck with his principles he would take this thing in a blowout. As we go along, he exposes himself as just another run of the mill politician.
Too bad we have been left, once again, with no good choices to lead the country. Can somebody please show me a silver lining? Talk me off the edge here.

Change? | 10:18 a.m. Aug. 23, 2008
Well, I guess there won’t be any change now. Biden is about as fresh as moldy cheese. I guess the GOP will have this one wrapped up in November.

AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE…

Now we have faces for both tweedledee and tweedledumb.
