BIDEN: Complained about "economic policies of the last eight years" that led to "excessive deregulation."
THE FACTS: Biden voted for 1999 deregulation that liberal groups are blaming for part of the financial crisis today. The law allowed Wall Street investment banks to create the kind of mortgage-related securities at the core of the problem now.
PALIN: "Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform measures. He sounded that warning bell."
THE FACTS: Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska led an effort in 2005 to tighten regulation on the mortgage underwriters — McCain joined as a co-sponsor . The legislation was never taken up by the full Senate.
BIDEN: Warned that Republican presidential candidate John McCain's $5,000 tax credit to help families buy health coverage "will go straight to the insurance company."
THE FACTS: Of course it would, because it's meant to pay for insurance. That's like saying money for a car loan will go straight to the car dealer.
PALIN: Claimed she has taken on the oil industry as Alaska governor.
THE FACTS: Palin pushed to impose a windfall profits tax on oil companies and distributed the proceeds to the state's citizens to offset rising energy costs

BIDEN: Said McCain supports tax breaks for oil companies, and "wants to give them another $4 billion tax cut."
THE FACTS: Biden is repeating a favorite saw of the Obama campaign, and it's misleading. McCain supports a cut in income taxes for all corporations, and doesn't single out any one industry for that benefit.
BIDEN: "As a matter of fact, John recently wrote an article in a major magazine saying that he wants to do for the health care industry — deregulate it and let the free market move — like he did for the banking industry."
THE FACTS: Biden and Obama have been perpetuating this distortion of what McCain wrote in an article for the American Academy of Actuaries. McCain, laying out his health plan, only referred to deregulation when saying people should be allowed to buy health insurance across state lines.
BIDEN: "The charge is absolutely not true. Barack Obama did not vote to raise taxes. The vote she's referring to, John McCain voted the exact same way."
THE FACTS: The vote was on a nonbinding budget resolution that assumed that President Bush's tax cuts would expire, as scheduled, in 2011. If that actually happened, it could mean higher taxes for people making as little as about $42,000(less) -

Sarah Palin can't even give Katie Couric a coherent answer to an open-ended softball question. I'm sorry, but being President of the United States takes more than she brings to the table.
Unlike Gov. Palin, Sen. Biden would actually be capable and qualified for holding high office. -

based on what I know of them, palin barely has the experience to do the job she is currently IN, let alone be Veep or (God forbid) President. Six months ago she did not even know what the primary constitutional function was for the Veep Job. I assume (?) that she now does know that, and that someone eventually told her. But she publicly said back then that she didn't know. That doesn't smack of someone "qualified" to do the job.
Joe Biden has even more experience than Obama does, if you are talking "Senate" functions. -

To Choose Life
O my GOD, incline Thine ear, and hear;

and the city which is called by Thy name;
for we "do not" present our supplications before YOU
for righteousness,
but for YOUR mercy's.
Faith without works is dead… James.2:26
I delight to do Thy will, O my God Ps.40:8
For the time is come that judgement of GOD:
and if it first begin at us
what shall the end of them that obey not the gospel of GOD? < 1 Peter 4:17>
(Revelations 11:18)
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, (Hebrews 2:10)
where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Therefore let them that suffer according to the will of GOD (Hebrews 2:10)
"commit" the keeping of their souls. <1 Peter 4:18-19>
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the Lord ponders the heart.
"To Do" justice and judgements is more acceptable to the Lord then sacrifice.
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them:
because they "refuse" "to do" judgement.

For that which befalls the sons of man befalls beasts;
even one thing befalls them:
as one dies, so dies the other,
they have all "one breath:"

It is joy to the just "to do" judgement: (Hosea 2)
but destruction will be to the workers of iniquity. (Rev.11:18 Luke 14:18-24)
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of GOD; if any man minister,
let him do it as of the ability which GOD gives:
that GOD in all things may be glorified through Christ to whom be praised and dominion

See I have set before you this day Life and Good, (Hosea 2)
and death and evil, (Revelations 11:18)
in that I command you this day to love the Lord your GOD,
"to walk in HIS ways"
and keep HIS commandments,
that you may live and multiply: (Hosea 2)
and the Lord your GOD will bless you in the land wherever you go to possess it.
I call Heaven and Earth to record this day against you,
that I have set before you Life and death, blessing and cursing: (Rev.11:18)
therefore "Choose Life",
that both you and your seed may live: (Hosea 2)
GOD our FATHER tells us we will sing the song of moses Deut.32
And HE said, I will hide MY face from them,
I will see what their end will be:
for they are a forward generation,
children of whom is no faith.
O that they would consider their Latter End.
Many will be purified and made white, (Heb. 2:10)
and tried, but the wicked will do wickedly: (Rev.11:18)
and none of the wicked will understand.
At the begging of your supplications "the commandment came forth,"
and I am come to show you;
for you are greatly beloved:
therefore understand the matter,
and consider the vision.< Danial 9:23>
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings
have YOU ordained strength because of YOUR enemies,
that YOU might still the enemy and the avenger.
When i consider YOUR Heavens,

But the naturual man recieves not the things of the Spirit of GOD:
for they are foolishness unto HIM:
neither can he HE know them, ( Matthew 22:14 many called few chosen)
because they are spiritualy discerned.
But he that is spiritual judges all things,
yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who has known the mind of the Lord,
that he may instruct HIM?
but we have one mind of Christ.<1 Corinthians 2:14-16>
For "all" have sinned, and come short the Glory of GOD:
Being justified "freely" by HIS Grace through the redemption that is in Christ
therefore "Choose Life," (Hosea 2)
that both you and your seed may live.
For you may all prophecy one by one
that all may learn,
and all may be comforted.<1Corinthians 14:31>
Repent;
or else I will come unto you quickly,
and I will fight against them with the Sword of MY mouth,
he that have an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.
For the time is come that judgement must begin at us,
what will the end be who "Do" "not" obey the gospel of GOD?<1 Peter 4:17>
And set forth HIS servents to call them that were bidden to the wedding:
and they would not come.
you cannot drink the cup of the Lord,
and the cup of devils<1 Corinthians 10:21>
Verily, I say unto you,
I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine,

Is there really any question here? Palin can't even handle her family how is she going to handle a nation? She doesn't seem the lest bit interested in giving her views on the issues. She memorizes pat answers and can't seem to form a personal opinion in front of a camera that I can tell. I also checked into her being mayor of Wallisa and they started with no debt and after she left she left behing a 2 million dollar debt. She strikes me as a power hungry PTA Mom who can talk the talk but doesn't even know hoew how tho walk the walk. Biden has his downfalls but he's experienced and is ready to talk to the issues not give lip service in the hope someone will buy into it! -

While he's occasionally prone to a misspoken word from time to time, Biden also has the ability to work well with others and take action on important issues. He is well versed in international, fiscal and social issues in our country, and could step in without any additional training. No question he is the best pick for VP. -

Better at what? Depends on what they will need to face. Could Gore have stood in the rubble of the WTC like GW? Could Bush Sr. have inspired the working class like Bill? Presidents are not gods - just men and they honestly will have strengths and weaknesses and we will all want different things from them, anyhow. The question is far more gray than this question allows for. -
