I am definitely on team Obama and the Biden Palin debate didn’t change that a bit. I’m probably about as liberal as a person can be but while I was watching part of the vice presidential debate tonight I was shocked and appalled by some of the things Biden said.
Palin on the other hand, well…for someone who really doesn’t know anything she held her own. Besides her accent is so cute I could listen to her talk about nothing all night long.
What jumped out at me during the vice presidential debate was the comment Joe Biden made about Bosnia. Actually there was more than one. I am going to break it down here:
Joe Biden stated that because of the decisions he and the US made tends of thousands of people were saved in the Bosnian war.
—- BS! The US caused a $hitload of trouble over there and with the help of the UN they basically helped the Serbs commit genocide. The US, NATO, the UN and every other organization and country in the world allowed the Serbs to surround and imprison Sarajevo for YEARS! They were under seige for years, they were given very little medical and food aid. In fact they were fed cans of miscellaneous meat that was so repulsive even dogs wouldn’t touch it.
And have you heard of Srebrenica? The Dutchbat UN troops wouldn’t even hand the Bosniaks back the guns they had confiscated so they’d be able to defend themselves. Instead they ran away to Potocari and then handed over the Bosniaks that were taking refuge in the Dutch base to the Serbs who summarily executed them. Sick!
So needless to say I was a little offended when Biden claimed that they stepped into the Bosnian war and “saved tens of thousands of lives” in the process. If they had “stepped in” a few years before they could have saved 100,000 lives.
It’s ridiculous! He should be ashamed to even mention Bosnia in the same sentence as the United States.
The claim that there had been fighting in Bosnia for hundreds of years.
—- The dumb ass actually stated out loud that he was all for going into Bosnia and putting a stop to the killing. He said his fellow politicians told him it could never been done. The “Croats, Serbs, Muslims, Bosniaks” would never find peace, but they made it happen.
First of all some of you may not know this but Sarajevo was always one of the most diverse and tolerant cities in the world. When other countries would take in Jewish refugees from WWII they were left to live in slums and treated like garbage.
In Sarajevo they had no Jewish slums. They were welcomed into society just like everyone else. People there didn’t care about ethnicities or religions. There were churthces, mosques and temples on each corner of some streets and there was never any problems. Serbs and Muslims were griends and have afternoon tea together, religion wasn’t a big issue at all.
Sure there had been fighting in the past but that was long before the Bosnia war that happened in the early nineties. Which by the way was not helped in any way by the UN, NATO, the US, Britain, France or anyone else.
They had not been killing each other for hundreds of years, not the way he portrayed it. It really irked me that Biden would say something about that during the vice presidential debate. And if Sarah Palin had been more on the ball or if she actually knew anything about what happened in the political past she could have ripped him a new one over this topic.
Joe Biden also claimed that they helped with Kosovo and they now have a stable government.
—- Again, does he actually follow world events? There are atrocities and vicious massacres in Kosovo all the time. It wasn’t long ago they had an extremely bloody war themselves.
With the Albanian terrorists wanting Kosovo to be independent and the Serb killers equally determined that this will never happen, the country is far from stable.
Sarah Palin claims she has foreign policy experience simply because Alaska borders Russia on one side and Canada on the other.
—- WTF?? How does that automatically give you foreign policy experience. I live on the border of Canada and the US and have England way over across the water. Do I then have foreign policy experience? I’ve been to the United States at least, has she ever been to Russia?
Sarah Palin is a headcase with a nice pair of glasses and a cute accent with macaroni where he brain should be. Kraft Dinner macaroni at that, it’s cheap and is a poor substitute for the real thing.
Here’s my bottom line:
For the most part I am happy with the Obama Joe Biden ticket. Biden seems like a smart guy, and I like how diplomatic Barack Obama is. he doesn’t seem like the war monger the Republicans are endorsing.
Sarah Palin on the other hand doesn’t seem to really stand for anything I believe her about except abortion. And John McCain, he is shriveling more and more everyday. One of these days he will fall asleep at the podium. he is too old and frail to be president of the United States.
The bits I did see of the debate weren’t boring at all and it was sad when Biden spoke of his family. I looked it up after and it turns out that just before Christmas back in 1972, his wife had taken their three children Christmas shopping. They got into an accident with a tractor trailer and his wife and one year old daughter were killed while the two boys were left in critical condition. Such a total tragedy, not that you should vote for him and Obama because of that, I just thought that was an interesting little fact.
All in all VOTE Obama in 2008 and be sure to NO on Proposition 8. Equality should be one of our basic human rights.

And I can’t imagine leaving the man I loved for anything. If his face melted off, I’d stick, if he lost all his limbs and was nothing but a lint sucking stump, I’d stick. but zombie arms? Oooh, I dunno about that one.
