Title: Holy shit, I have tears in my eyes
Post by: 240 is Back on August 27, 2008, 07:29:10 PM
You hearing the story of Biden's wife and infact child being killed in an accident?  His son is telling the story.

Biden didnt want to take the oath... he said "Delaware can get another senator, but my boys can't get another dad".
Youtube the delivery... wow...

They panned the crowd.  Michelle was wiping tears, then they showed two men with tears on their cheek.  I realized I was biting my lip holding back too.  poweful moment.  Most of the convention has been mediocre so far, but Beau Biden's speech was something powerful.  Damn...

Haven't seen the speech yet, but here are Toobin's comments:

August 27, 2008
Toobin: Biden gave the 'weakest' of major speeches
Posted: 11:23 PM ET

From CNN Analyst Jeffrey Toobin

I thought Joe Biden gave the weakest of the major speeches of this convention.

Watch: 'This is our time,' says Biden

He stumbled through many of the best lines, he didn't have a clear theme, and he didn't deliver any memorable phrases or ideas.

It was a beautiful picture at the end — with the young Barack Obama and the older Biden together with their families. Beau Biden, the senator's son, gave a better introduction than his father gave a speech.

Yeah...who cares. I'm worried about the kids heading to Iraq, has Cpt Beu Biden gone over....just wondering. All the shit Biden said about Obama said this and said that.  All bullshit, all that crap has been floating around military planners for months....He hasn't had an original thought yet.

So it's okay for mccain to CHOOSE to go to war, crash 5 jets, get preferential treatment to continue flying after dumping the first 4 planes, when normally you get grounded after losing 2 planes...

It's okay for him to use the POW card everytime someone asks about anything?

Gotcha.

Bill is an amazing speaker, believable but also a lot of substance, not what we see from Obama.  I think he was a pretty good president too.  Some mistakes, but that was a good time for the U.S.

That was incredible.  I had goosebumps as he hugged his son, Beau, and then talked about his mom's encouragement.  That part of the speech was spectacular.  I thought Bill Clinton knocked it out of the park last night too.  It's interesting that they all have good things to say about John McCain, but are really focusing on the current administration.

I really don't think John McCain is that much like Bush historically.  McCain has swung over to the conservative base for the nomination but likely will continue his historically middle of the road ways if elected.
The dems can criticize Bush but you can't apply all that to McCain.  My biggest question is will McCain significantly cut spending?  Its unpopular, but needed.

Politicizing the death of a son.  Effen disgusting pieces of shit, typical politician namely Democrat!  How low will Democrats go to pander to a voter.  Do I sound insensitive?  Research McCain's son's cause he won't politicize them, like the disgusting, despicable Democrats.

Public figures lose their private lives?  Nice Straw Man, this effen idiot brought the private life to the voters to pander for a vote.  This was the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION!!!  Not the place to go into something so personal for the sake of currying favor to a voter, disgusting, despicable, and you sir should be angry too.  Why hasn't McCain talked about the service of his son's to pander to voters????  IT'S CALLED CHARACTER and the Democrats have none.

Outside of that, I am a happy person.  Glad you cared, thank you!

No, the death of his family was national news when it happened b/c it related directly to his decision whether to continue his career in politics.  Revisiting that national news is no different than McCain mentioning his POW status from 40 years ago.

Who cares if McCain's son serves in the military?  I don't.  Everyone in the McCain family serves in the military.  It's a military family.

Those things go into the nebulous character composite of the candidates.
