Rep. Chet Edwards? Who’s He?
By SusanUnPC on August 22, 2008 at 8:30 PM in Current Affairs
If it is true — and, after all, it is just one news report carrying the story, as LisaB’s news round-up indicates — that Hillary Clinton was never vetted for the vice presidential slot, I am sorely disappointed that no one in Barack Obama’s campaign understood the necessity of bestowing upon her the simple courtesy of considering her for the position.
If I were he, knowing that 18,000,000 Americans cast their votes for her in the primaries, I would have gone out of my way to make her feel an important part of the veepstake process. Even if I had no intention of selecting her, I would do it as a simple courtesy and a heartfelt acknowledgement of her stature in the party and all of those who voted for her. (Let’s hope that the Politico source was wrong.)
Chet Edwards is the latest name being added to the buzz about possible V.P. picks for Barack Obama.
Chet. Now there’s a manly name. For those of us old enough to remember, his name evokes the legendary newsman Chet Huntley. But, frankly, most of us have never heard of Chet Edwards before, along with 90% of all Americans. Lest anyone get too excited, here’s what the Campaign Spot blog at the National Review has to say about him:
There's praise for Edwards in the Corner, but from a straight-up political view, I think Obama picking Chet Edwards would be disastrous. A nine-term House vet on the Appropriations Committee doesn't scream hope and change. He voted for the Iraq War — which Obama touted as the most important decision since the end of the Cold War — and disagrees with Obama on ANWR, offshore drilling, amnesty for illegal immigrants, CAFE standards, staunchly opposes gay marriage, … There's balance on the ticket, and then there's a successor a heartbeat away who would reverse all of your policy initiatives.
Sure, he's very pro-choice, rated F by the NRA, and manages to hang on to a central Texas House district. And Pelosi recommended him. But the debate would consist almost entirely of the GOP vice-presidential candidate saying, "I agree with Chet's old position, the one he had before he put his manhood in a blind trust and flip-flopped to agree with Obama's liberal position." Edwards would constantly be in the awkward position of defending positions he doesn't agree with.
I suspect his name popped up today just to give the starving journalists something to chew on for another day.
Besides, how would he really help Obama? It’s not as if Obama has a prayer of carrying the state of Texas.
Well, at least Chet Edwards is getting his 15 minutes of fame. Fox News has announced that reporter have his home in Texas staked out now. He’d might as well enjoy the attention while it lasts!

I think it’s a simple case of economics… they didn’t want to have to change the pre-ordered bumber stickers “Obama/Edwards’08″”
Personally, I was hoping for the Senator from Hawai’i… Daniel Akaka… now there’s a bumper sticker you can believe in: “Obamakaka”
Has a nice ring to it. And it comes with an autographed copy of a Hawaiian COLB.
Jill:
I love it….
“Obamakaka”
Gotta love it….It rings so true…. Hahaha…
Biden is the pick. Forget everyone else.
very funny
Perfect name for him
The message was “sent” when Obama ostentatiously hired Patti Solis-Doyle, previously fired by Hillary for “incompetence,” to lead the operational side of the VP vetting. Hillary was never treated with a modicum of respect by Obama. It was obvious then, it is obvious now.
And we will return the favor by offering him no respect. But that is only one reason not to respect or trust him.
According to CNN – Hillary has been told she’s not Obama’s VP pick.

BARACK OBAMA
Obama, Fan of Chinese Ports, Trains, and Airports
Obama, yesterday: “Everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics , Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business, you’re starting to think, ‘Beijing looks like a pretty good option.’”
This Beijing comment–one word for BO-’blank’
I guess he missed the whole report about the polution and the fake store fronts built around the olympic facilities where tourists would most likely be to cover up the poverty and delapidation rampant across much of the city.
Poor Obama, such a phoney front that when he sees a phoney front he thinks its as real as he is.
Oh By the Way Barry, most corporations don’t decide where to do business based on who has an olympic sized swimming pool in the city.
God he is an idiot.
Beijing looks like a pretty good option.’”
Let’s take up a collection and see if we can raise enough money to send him and Me-chelle to Beijing to live for good…
Oh and we’ll have the government seize the mansion in Chicago that was bought with dirty money and donate it to his brother that lives in a shanty in Africa.
Sounds like a fair and just trade to me…
I am sure that the Chinese people don’t want him. At least the corrupted politicians there get a few things done for their people(like make sure to feed people, save people in crisis). even Kenya may not want him, they are poor already, Obama will drain them dry.
No way, he has to choose Hillary… no choice.
Biden would be two plagarists, and the brothers remember he called him clean and articulate… as well as being the first to say ‘fairy tale’.
ABC News seems to think it’s Biden.
Biden has been given SS protection and there’s activity at his house.
Per CNN – Hillary has been told she’s not Obama’s VP pick.
Sure makes it easier to vote for McCain.
Chet Edwards is a neighbor of mine when he is in Texas.
He is very well liked in this mostly Republican
district. I happened to drive by his house this
afternoon and there were several reporters. I can
only assume that this would be a “do no harm” choice.
His father in law is a Baptist minister and I have
rarely heard negative comments about him.
“Likable enough, church-going guy from Crawford, TX” is enough to freak me out. “Pelosi likes him” is the kiss of death.
LOL! My thoughts exactly.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article4406813.ece -
Obama is in league with the Chinese. His brother helps put domestic manufacturers out of business.
I saw that Kaine had been told that he was out. It;
s the lead story on the Fox News website right now. But there was no mention of Bayh also being out. Are you sure about this?
Another news website reported that they’d talked to three employees of a printing company that prints up political paraphenalia and had heard that they were, at that moment, in the process of printing up Obama/Bayh campaign materials.
In my field, mediocrities hire down out of insecurity.
When I hear the name Chet, I think of Matt Damon singing My Funny Valentine to Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
But I also think of the Chad Everett song on How’s Your News?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1k2fgWesXc
Obama’s full of “chet”.
Hey, everyone! Wish I could join you in Denver, but my doings prevent it. Copying this from The Confluence, so others may have beat me to this, but here’s some of my reflections…
Fox is reporting a lot of activity around Senator Joe Biden’s house, including a chartered jet to go from Chicago to New Castle, DE (private airport). I.e., he’s the likely Veep pick.
Q. Is this part of Obama’s thank you gift to Joe having his son, Beau (Joseph Biden, Jr.), State of DE Attorney General, serve a Delaware arrest warrant in the District of Columbia to Larry Sinclair at the end of Larry’s briefing at the National Press Club in June?
Why don’t we hear this on the MSM/Cable news network shows?
Makes me think there really was more to the Larry Sinclair story. Or, in addition, there was more to the death of Donald Young, who called Sinclair about Obama last year, and deaths of two other Trinity United Church of Christ members.
Do you all remember that account?
Also, Biden voted for the Iraq War resolution, and called Barry well-spoken and “clean”. Presume he meant hygiene – what about Barry’s dirty campaign tactics through the primaries?
Hannity & Colmes has an interview of Biden from last year where he says he would not take a Veep spot if offered. What a difference a year makes.
How do you feel now that you know it’s really not likely to be Hillary for Veep?
Biden is known for quoting without attribution (’88 run for POTUS) and gaffes.
They’re going to need a football stadium to hold those two egos.
I just PRAY it is not Hillary….I could care less who else BO selects…they can all go down in the titanic..but I don’t want her tarnished by his scandalous associations and chicago corruption.
We never wanted Hillary for vp. Why should she be used to prop up a weak and inferior male candidate? We don’t want to see her go down with the sinking ship Obummer.

You know, this is just more example of the hubris that we continue to see coming from the Obama camp. This sort of crap always comes right back around to bite you in the arse. We see it every day. We got to see it last night at the Olympics in Beijing, where the American relay teams fell apart. When people rest on their laurels and take for granted the opportunities that have been given to them, karma has a funny way of smacking you right back in the face. I can only imagine the backhand that Barak Obama will be getting.
lol, he has been getting backhanded all week by McCain.
I’m with you Sojourner. And indeed, the word I constantly use to describe this minion of a presidential candidate, is the same one I used for years about Bush and his administration – HUBRIS.
Guess the Democrats took good notes.
Pelosi reccomended Chet Edwards…had to put her choice in the running…
Fox is just about splitting a gut and saying it’s looking more and more like Biden. Says there’s a lot of activity around his house. Too funny. This is the guy with the other big ego that said at one point that OB was lacking in experience etc. etc. Biden should be a good choice for the Repubs to chew on for awhile. He’s got the experience alright, but also the towering arrogance. Twin dodo birds. And the beat goes on.
Edwards?
Only an idiot like Pelosi would want an Edwards on the ticket.
Obama bin Biden.
hannity just called him senator bison! now isn’t that special.
Exactly what I was thinking. Republicans and many Democrats don’t know one Edwards from another. They will know that someone named Edwards was chasing skirts while his wife was dying from cancer. It would be idiotic. Just look at all the crap Obama gets over his middle name, mostly because he gets so defensive about it. It infuriates him and the madder he gets, the more he gets teased.
Imagine everyone following calling the son of a preacher man a whoremonger.
Chet would solve one challenge for the Dear Leader: he would not overshadow him with experience and celebrity. As we are finding that Obama is still changing his positions on issues, maybe Chet isn’t so far off as suggested. But, does Chet Edwards want to become the losing VP on Obama’s losing ticket?
And no vetting of Clinton? So Obama thinks there was no need to tell the truth several months ago to seriously consider Clinton as VP (though I’ve always thought she’d be foolish to accept it) and is he now confirming what Dean and Brazile have suggested that the Dear Leader’s new Democratic Party not only doesn’t need, but doesn’t want her supporters?
Yep, the Obama train wreck is gathering steam…
Journalists will wake up tomorrow morning like someone who left a bar drunk with a one night stand and the next morning tells himself/herself “God, I’m a whore.” That’s how cheap and dirty this guy is.
Courtesy?
What does this pompous idiot know about courtesy? This is the 2008 version of Nat Turner Rebellion.
What are we in for.
It’s Biden. They are flying his son home from the mideast.
Breaking news on Fox…it’s Biden.
As far as I am concerned it can’t crash soon enough.
That’s a disgusting comment, and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one here who finds it reprehensible. This is an open forum, which I appreciate, and I enjoy the discourse here even if we don’t all agree. But I hope we ALL agree that this kind of trash has no place here or any other forum, virtual or otherwise, where intelligent people gather to hash out serious issues.
Yep, the Obama train wreck is gathering steam…
I was replying to this………..keep up your serious discussion tho. I had two posts wedged between me and what I was answering……….carry on
Thank you for clarifying, and I apologize for jumping to conclusions. I thought you were wishing ill will on Biden’s son’s flight home, if indeed he even is coming home. Sorry again.
I would never do that. But thanks for the apology.

re:Obamaedwards.com
It was created 05-dec-2006 , so it’s a none entity really.
Obama has picked Hillary. She should have turned it down.
All you cheapshot artists ridiculing Barack Obama need you comeupance. And that will been when you have to crawl and apologize to us Obama supporters. And we don’t take MasterCard.
no apologies to you Obamabot thugs — EVER!
You creeps can crawl back into the holes you came out of.
Only when you can formulate a coherent sentence bot.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
That is because you young punks don’t have a Mastercard
and you don’t have master card either. we only take cash from obama supporters and we check that carefully.
Apologize to cockroaches like you?!?! Hahahaha.
Go take your meds now and go to bed.
ROFLMAO! you’ve got shit for brains. No apologies to thugs, racists, misogynists, liars, cheats, and idiots.
Why the f— do you think you’re entitled to an apology?? For what???
Take your Communist ass somewhere in a corner, sit down, shut up and THINK.
More conjecture: Jack Reed, the guy who went to Iraq with him:
http://wonkette.com/402147/jack-reed-the-rhode-island-senator-is-veep-choice#more-402147
He’d be a mini Jim Webb — remember Webb ruled out running as VP. (Webb’s more qualified than Obama to run as president, a problem Obama would have with Hillary on the ticket too. One must pick someone who doesn’t overshadow one.)
BREAKING
Obambi picks Hillary for VP.
Based on what? You seem to be the only one with this information.
it’s been about two months since i’ve stopped by to see what’s going on in the loony bin they call no quarter. i’m unsurprised and glad to find that it’s still an inane cluster fuck of folks who can’t quite get over the fact that their favorite lost.
please spare me the bs about how you’re all here because of “country before party”. you’re a sackful of petulant children, and like children, the incredible things that come out of your mouths are often hilariously entertaining.
as i’ve said before, please don’t stop doing what you’re doing…it’s comforting to know there’s always a place i can come for a good laugh.
Thanks for the patronizing Obamabot comment of the evening, Slight hitch. And they wonder why we aren’t running to support Waffle Man Obama?
oh, it’s not patronizing…it’s downright insulting. and nobody wonders about you at all…that’s just your hyperinflated egos talking.
You’re just an Obamabot troll, Hitch. If Obamanation wasn’t worried they wouldn’t be sending $7.00 an hour trolls here.
Toodles, troll
that’s my second favorite nq line…anyone who pokes you morons in the eye is on the payroll…
no, not the case. i just find it entertaining to poke you morons in the eye.
We “morons” will insure that your SELECTED not ELECTED Nobama never sets foot in the WH.
Put that in your hopium pipe and smoke it.
well, its too bad you aren’t paying attention to Obama poking you in the butt.
thanks for playing. go to jail, do not pass go and give us your $200.
how very original…that must the “independent thinking” that nq tries to pride itself on.
and clearly you guys need the $200 to give to puma so they can wave their magic wands, turn it into $800 and give it to hillary for her campaign debt.
Where did you learn to write little boy ?
We’ll see who’s laughing on Nov. 5th. Please continue with the insults-it helps a lot with recruitment.
Only a fucking schizoid Obama supporters would think of throwing children in a sack and brag about it.
OUCH!
That’s because you’ve been in the gutter/crazy house Obamaland.
Take your ass back there please….
Hey “a_slight_hitch” lick me.
exactly the level of discourse i expect here. thanks for proving my point.
as obama would say, that’s not the user we knew at nq.
It won’t matter bot. Obama will lose to McCain. He can’t lose 9 Mil democrat voters and expect to win.
this is my favorite line of argument by the nq’ers…this mystical 9 million disgruntled hillary voters…
there are some of you out there, but they ain’t more than a million or so…
the rest of them have…ahem…”gotten over it”.
hey fella, if you are so dang unhappy then get your oversized dufus out of here. we won’t miss you.
never said i was unhappy…and i’m not.
just entertained here in the moron-o-sphere known as nq.
WOW barky really is losing support.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8FgPsXXJek
if only.
great edit.
Did you not see the repeated polls that show 28% of HRC supporters will not vote for BO. Do the math: 28% of 18 million. Surely enough to swing the election. Deal with it.
That’s over 5 million votes barky will have to make up.
the more people get to know him, the smaller he is…and the more of the petty tyrant people can see in him
Really.
Love how these phony-ass Obama stooges keep trying to feign indifference each time they come and post here.
Obamabots know they’re not wanted here. The truth is, however, they can’t stop coming here because they can’t afford to. It is crystal clear to them that it will only take a fraction of cheated Hillary supporters to hand John McCain a huge victory in the GE. And they lack the charm, poise, sophistication, grace and tact to win us over.
So they come to us, acting like complete assholes, to try to FORCE us to vote for that sleaze. And they’re failing miserably.
Be braced and ready for a huge dogfight Hillary/McCain supporters. The Obama insane asylum is on the Titanic. But they’re the only ones who don’t realize it yet. Realization should be setting in for them around the Republican convention in September.
Since the Obama/DNC theft of the Democratic nomination in June, this blog and many other Hillary/McCain blogs and forums have only been receiving a “sprinkling” of Obama nuts. After the conventions, there will be an influx of those idiots on No Quarter and other sites as their desperation deepens.
I’m personally hoping that Larry is seriously considering blocking those fools after the Republican convention.
That makes at least a million more votes barky has to manufacture. How many people do you think die a year?
You’ll really never know how many “disgruntled” people voting against your choke candidate there are. Maybe it’s 9 million. Gore lost by 537 votes. We know of several states that will never vote for Obama. There’s 6,000 in Israel. Sounds like a landslide to me, dumbass. So, why do you come by here for a laugh? You’re the one voting for a loser.
This number’s suddenly A LOT bigger now that that loser has picked Joe Biden as his VP running mate. Some Hillary supporters were still holding out hope that she would be chosen to form a “dream ticket.” That’s dead now. So the transition to John McCain will be much easier on them now.
This has got to be the EASIEST race John McCain will ever win. The White House will be served to him on a silver platter. I hope McCain enjoys it.
exactly the level of discourse you deserve, now fuk off.
I think it’s HIllbuzz that is reporting that pamphlets are being printed that say Obama/Bayn.
Biden doesn’t make sense to me, Biden is not a second chair kind of person. Especially to someone like Obama who doesn’t have a history of stellar achievement in politics other than he can get the media to follow his every word and step. Considering Paris Hilton and Britney Spears can wrap the media around their little fingers too, I can’t imagine Biden being too impressed. If Biden is going to fetch coffee and carry the briefcases, it’s going to be for someone he admires and I can’t imagine that being Obama.
The Chet Edwards curve is interesting. Could it be that Bayn, Biden and Kaine have all said no? Considering the downturn Obama’s campaign has taken and the fodder for swift-boating, possibilities for vice president may be fleeing faster than ants in a RAID factory.
Out of all of them, Bayn makes more sense to me than anyone else.
Oops. I should have typed that Hillbuzz has an article that Drudge is reporting…
It’s Bayh.
Good, that will sound like Obama/Bye 2008. See you later alligator.
Obama is singing happy birthday and walking out with a tiny cake and a candle!!
All sing-a-long with Barry now..
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7577615.stm
copy and paste it into your browser, having trouble posting links.
I never thought I’d see the day where so many Democrats and Republicans would agree on anything. If nothing else, Senator Obama has narrowed the gap between the two. Just not in the way he promised with all of his hope and change malarky.
Wow — BREAKING NEWS
OBAMA picks VP!!!
tinyurl.com/5dwky7
When will this idiocy end for God’s sake?
PICK SOMEONE ALREADY AND GET ON WITH IT!
Seriously, this is like high school.
Chet Edwards seems like a very likely choice based on what we’ve heard from Obama on the VP subject.
Chet is 56 but he’s considered a fresh face because no one knows him. He got an MBA from Harvard and he knows a little something about economics. Fits the bill.
OBAMA 08
EDWARDS
Sounds like a losing ticket to me.
Obama/Edwards, didn’t Edwards get outed already by the National Inquirer, lol, love the name recognition though, stupid Pepsoiler.
9 terms on the appropriations committee. Sounds like change to me. Obama got himself an accountant.
Obama 08
Anyone
That’s a losing ticket!!!
Who is Bayn?
I’m sure that the poster just had a typo and meant Evan Bayh
Evan Bayh from Indiana
Who would want to run with Obama–and become part of one of the most sordid chapter in our party’s history?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRJHTP7gNY0
Biden is a good party loyalists and may do this because he was asked to do so”for the party”.
It might quell the nerves some dems to vote for Obama. However, I don’t think it will be enough. Joe Biden can talk circles around Obama and McCain, but Biden isn’t running for pres..so it would just show more negatively on Obama. It is the same with Hillary. She can talk and work circles around all of them. The more she would talk the more deficient Obama looks.
Those who wanted Hillary Clinton as the VP for “party unity” and peace..probably to win the election also, are going to be very pissed that she wasn’t even vetted.
The one great advantage to all of this…is that Barack didn’t chose Hillary..not her fault when he looses. The opinion polls wanted Hillary, the party wanted Hillary..too bad so sad for Obama..Thank God
The one great advantage to all of this…is that Barack didn’t chose Hillary..
but he did.
No he won’t. He doesn’t have the guts to choose Hillary. She will upstage him. His ego can’t take it.
Also, Biden is 73 – They can’t say too much about McCain’s age if they pick a VP who is a year older.
Sorry – I was wrong about his age – he is 65.
Re: Biden. Biden couldn’t even get into the finals of the primaries, so how effective will he be on BO’s ticket? He’s running out of options, and get seal the deal himself. Shucks.
exactly.
Chet Edwards was mentioned by Pelosi a while agao on George Stephanopolous’s show ( 2 Sundas ago?). He is HER pick: Pelosi wants him as VP; and since Obama needs to kiss up to Pelosi he went ahead and vetted Chet….
CNN reports Kaine is out and that’s a “flurry” of activity in Biden’s home. I say it Evan Bayh but frankly: whatever!!
I am glad if it is NOT HRC : I doin’t want her as VP as I think it would be demeaning for she the (much!) better woman to be on a secondary position to the
less qualified man. But I agree Obama should have gone OUT OF HIS WAY to court HRC as VP and vet her.
But hey; why am I not surprised? OPbama did ZERO NADA
didn’t rasie a finger to help rais emoney to erase her debt. While HRC money people, HER fundraisers hosted
many fundaraisers: the latest being the one in San Fransisco where Obama & DNC got a sweet 7,5 Mill…
On a nicer note; for me CHET will always be the GREAT and ONLY ONE: CHET BAKER !!
Chet Edwards has everthing Obama doesn’t; a strong veterans following and personel character. It’s the ying-yang ticket.
Yea, that Chet Edwards is a real winner. America has been waiting for Chet Edwards. Not. If this is an example of Obama’s decision-making abilities, he has failed miserably.
Chet Edwards…LOL. This is just a gift to his girlfriend/Madam: Nancy P.

All you cheapshot artists ridiculing Barack Obama need you comeupance. And that will been when you have to crawl and apologize to us Obama supporters. And we don’t take MasterCard.
Let me guess ……… your sentence structure reveals English is a second language to you?? Are you Hamas related, lol?
whoever he picks will prolly wind up atbthe top of the ticket when obambi gets DQ’d and indicted for fraud and other high crimes and missemeanors just after the DNC conv.ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama has played this all wrong…he should have released the name on Wednesday, and let the whore MSM pant and wet themselves for more sparkle…
He overplayed here and even his supporters are like ..OK just pick somebody. The press is not on full strength this weekend,,with a lot of time off to prepare for the convention, Chris Matthews’s hair will still be dirty, Obermann will have his shorts on for a big day of wrapping himself in his rubber suit, and Mitchell will be attending to her IRS Daddy and help changing his depends. She will be unable to report the news third hand ,like she usually does.
Now …whoever he picks it is a letdown with less coverage.
And who will Hillary pick as VP when the Super Delegates do the right thing next week? Probably not any of those on Obama’s short list.
Obama would be a possible VP choice except that I think he’ll be such damaged goods by early next week that no one will have him.
Maybe a GOv. Rendell of PA or Gov. Strickland of Ohio??
I heard it was a toss-up between the Easter Bunny, a mermaid and George W. Bush, emj.
no, obama already had those choices vetted.
yes, and they were all too qualified for him….
What is this stuff about apologizing to Obama supporters…for what??
Gee, we are really sorry that your candidate has taken your money, and used it to to pay ACORN, charm John Edwards,Bill Ayers, and Rezko…we hope you didn’t lose all your “hope” , because as we can see, you did lose some of your “change”$$$.
It will be Joe Biden.

U.S. Secret Service on Way to Biden’s House; Kaine and Bayh Told Nope on Veep
August 22, 2008 10:50 PM
The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.
Sources also tell ABC News that two others said to be finalists for the position of Obama’s running mate — Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Virginia Gov Tim Kaine — have been told they have not been selected to be Obama’s running mate.
Kaine flew to Denver earlier today, is in Denver tonight and has no plans to leave in the next 24 hours. Bayh is at his Washington, DC, home with his family.
Biden was last seen minutes ago at his Wilmington estate where his extended brood is gathering.
The Obama campaign would not comment, but Obama mentioned Biden twice in speeches on the trail this week, both times heralding his legislative leadersip in East Asia.
At the VFW convention in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday, Obama said, “we must help Georgia rebuild that which has been destroyed. That is why I’m proud to join my friend, Senator Joe Biden, in calling for an additional $1 billion in reconstruction assistance for the people of Georgia.”
And in Chesapeake, Virginia, Friday night, Obama heralded Biden’s efforts to provide economic assistance to Afghanistan.
“I joined with people like Joe Biden to increase a billion dollars of investment,” he said. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/08/with-veep-specu.html
– ABC News’ Ann Compton, Matt Jaffe, Jay Shaylor, and Jake Tapper
If that’s the case and it is Biden-the respect I had for him just went out the window.
Maybe he can teach Obama how to quit stuttering. I heard Biden used to recite poetry in his underwear in front of the mirror. Perfect.
Fox reports that a private plane from Chicago just landed in Delaware.
Biden. Mutt and Jeff. lol.
“Just tax the heck out of people and redistribute it”
Was that really said by Buffett or Obama?
If so then that’s the fatal blow against Obama
Biden never wanted VP, but would do it,if asked.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4bE7gTv8qI
Chet is Nancy’s poodle. SHe expressed her desire to have him be VP back in May.
He’s a freaking Republican on every issue like every other person Obama has raved about – George W. Bush (before Obama announce he was running for office), Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel, Ronald Reagan… “conservative Democrat.”
Source: Clinton has been told she’s not the VP pick
Thank the Lord Almighty!! Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!
Thanks Fuckin Goodness!
He needs to clean up his own mess and take responsibility for running his own election.
Now Hillary, you chill have fun do what you got to do to shut the fascists up long enough to get to Nov 4.
Then on Nov 5 remember, its going to be our party again as we begin to clean house and dump Obamarosa and his Charm School Rejects who are running the DNC currently.
Chet Edwards is from Texas and so am I. I was a delegate to the Texas Democratic Convention in June. He gave a speech and was riding high and was full of himself. A friend and I went to him and asked him in front of several people why he as a superdelegate was supporting Obama when his district overwhelming supported Clinton. He said he has a right to vote however he wants. I, and my friend too, reminded him that his personal vote is his to vote as he pleases but as a representative of the people of the district, he should vote the will of the people. It was a Kodak moment and needless to say, he wasn’t too happy to have been confronted.
Good for you!
Damn straight! Well done!
Arrrgggh! This is so infuriating that our representatives believe they have to think for us!
Any politician who would come to me and say he’d represent me rather than tell me what I need will get my vote. Unfortunately I live in the Northwest where we caffeine addicts need to be governed.
I hate that word… Govern:
to control, influence, or regulate (a person, action, or course of events)
I heard Barry say “I will govern” in an interview and thought to myself…
that day will never come
After the recent efforts by Barrack Obama to secure a Vice-presidential running mate I wish to make it perfectly clear that I, Zeke, will not seek the nomination, nor will I campaign if nominated, nor will I serve, if elected.
Just thought I’d get that in since the list has been expanded so much lately.

ABC reports the Secret Service has been dispatched to provide security to Sen. Joe Biden
And to think I was in a room with him all alone…
Coulda got his autograph!
Can’t blame Hillary for your loss in NOvember Ohuhbama.
Here’s the REAL Joe Biden:

Biden says Obama is:

.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
No, no bigotry in that. He should go well with the presumptious president who lectured black people not feed their kids Popeye’s fried chicken for breakfast.
I don’t give a flying **** whom he choses as long as he doesn’t drag Hillary into his web.
It’s hard for BO to find someone who won’t outstage him. Biden will do. Bland. Old. Tired. As tired as this Axelrod rerun of the Hope+Change(TM) campaign that brought the voters of Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick. Hope was going to be a few casinos in Mass., but maybe even that won’t materialize.
As for revitalizing the infrastructure, one of the banks that will become the Blackwater of home “improvement” under an Obama Presidency (perish the thought) is a Soros banking vehicle that is heavily invested in Nancy P.
From the memos Hillary’s campaign:
“contest the black vote at every opportunity. Keep him pinned down there.”
“America is a Great Country. With your help we can change that!” – Barack Obama on the campaign trail 2008.
“I’m Barack Obama and I’m reporting for DOODAD!”
Biden can be Barky’s Adult Supervision.
Not that worthless plagiarist… liars hang with liars
Biden wanted to split Iraq in three, what a failure in judgement. Iraq is on it’s way to unity because of McCains judgement on the surge. Real change on the part of Ohuhbama, dumb and dummer!
CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR BIDEN!!
CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR BIDEN!!
CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR BIDEN!!
I bet you wished you hadn’t been caught on camera saying this stuff:
article.nationalreview.com/?q=NGRhNzJlMWY5NjdiNzhjMTRkYjMzNjYwOGJmYzNjMTY=
The article continues…
But I am already laughing my ass off at the wonderful material provided to the RNC by the President of Hairplugs for Men aka Mr. Good Dump!
AHAHAHAHAA heheh
The Hillarity continues. Get it? Hillarity! Ha! I crack myself up!
Obamarosa / Hairplugs 08
High fives, Kelvin!
Obama/Biden 08 (and 2012 for that matter)
considering the Democrats are nominating Obamarosa / Hairplugs, you would think the koolaid drinkers would have enough of a sense of humor to recognize a joke when they see it.
Especially one where the interviewer the audiance and McCain all laughed for almost 20 seconds as he made it clear he was joking around and every body continued laughing and McCain repeatedly said no seriously ok i know that comment is going to be taken seriously out of context by the idiots out there.
Hey Kelvin. I don’t know if you are a slow learner or not, but crack is illegal.
If Obama can smoke it and become president it wont be illegal for long….
You know the trolls are in trouble when they take the race baiting card. Get over it Barky’s a fake!
John McCain, a true populist in the tradition of George W. Bush:
“I think if you’re just talking about income, how about $5 million?” –after being asked by Rev. Rick Warren to define “rich,” Lake Forest, California, Aug. 16, 2008
considering the Democrats are nominating Obamarosa / Hairplugs, you would think the koolaid drinkers would have enough of a sense of humor to recognize a jove when they hear it on national tv where every body laughed and McCain repeatedly said no seriously ok i know that comment is going to be taken seriously by the twits out there.
McCain was joking, you idiot.
What’s so funny about BO waiting till tomorrow morning to announce (text his supporters) his VP choice is that most of his supporters are young high school and college kids who will be sleeping in on Saturday morning. If he really wanted to “reward” their loyalty he would make the announcement in the middle of the night while they are still awake.
“it’s been about two months since i’ve stopped by to see what’s going on in the loony bin they call no quarter.”
And both parties have been essentially satisfied with your extended absence, so why would you suddenly ruin it by returning?
“i’m unsurprised and glad to find that it’s still an inane cluster fuck of folks who can’t quite get over the fact that their favorite lost.”
But, unfortunately, your boy wonder can’t win, without the votes of this particular “clusterfuck”?
Think of No Quarter as a handy blueprint for coping with your upcoming defeat in November, after which you might learn to present a qualified, reasonably intelligent candidate all Democrats can support.
“please spare me the bs about how you’re all here because of “country before party”.”
No problem! We’re not about repeating the meaningless mantras you’ve been conditioned to accept as inerrant gospel!
“you’re a sackful of petulant children, and like children, the incredible things that come out of your mouths are often hilariously entertaining.”
Considering Barky’s voting record and his willingness to actually exterminate newborn Americans, maybe another source of personal amusement might be in order?
“as i’ve said before, please don’t stop doing what you’re doing…”
Just make sure we get what we want, and we will, I PROMISE!!
“it’s comforting to know there’s always a place i can come for a good laugh.”
Remember, you’ll be in dire need of comfort and succor soon enough!
It might happen sooner than you suspect!
For, if you are defeated, in the year 2008, by either a bunch of “Rethugs” or an allegedly defeated Democratic nominee, what does that say about your discernment, and YOUR choices?
We’ll leave the light on for you!
Joe Biden, in 2007: ‘I think he [Obama] can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is.’
Man, the attack ads on Obama featuring quotes from his own running mate are just going to be brutal:
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos: “You were asked is he ready. You said ‘I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.’”
Sen. Biden: “I think that I stand by the statement.”
(ABC’s “This Week,” 8/19/07)
Picture the voice over: “If his own running mate has doubts about whether he’s ready for the job… shouldn’t you?”
Biden has been confirmed as the Veep nominee:
You Heard it Here
I think Biden’s stance on the Iraq war will come under scrutiny. If I remember correctly, he drew up a ridiculous scheme to split Iraq into three separate countries. I believe the Iraq Study Group even rejected it as unworkable. That’s not exactly the kind of foreign policy “expertise” you want on a presidential ticket.
No one wanted Biden for president and no one will want him for VP either. Another good choice.
Yup:
loose lips sink ships! I guess he bought the ego ticket.
republicans were more worried about Bayh.
soetoro is biden his time before he is disqualified.
get on it nq…time to start trashing joe biden, because of course anyone who associates with obama is the purest form of evil by default…
oh man, i can’t wait until obama wins this election and i can point my browser to no quarter and watch all of you morons in agony….
You’ll be waiting for all of eternity.
If we end up with an Obama/Biden ticket, it should be a fun autumn. Senator Biden doesn’t excel at being reined in and even if Obama does find a way to silence Biden, there’s a wealth of video statements from Biden that will undermine Obama’s campaign.
From my knowledge, Biden is at the opposite end of the Democrat spectrum, a conservative Democrat. But then again, the more we know about Obama, liberal doesn’t describe him.
Senator Clinton has got to stage an upset. As amusing as it would be to see Biden undermine Obama for the next few months, the fear that Obama will “fix” the election software and machinery and end up president is too much for me.
Chet is mucho relieved.
Please say a few kind words to the Tubbs Jones family
