...be sure to pack your hockey skates, 'cause it's freezin' over.
The Obamessiah and his Senior Flunky have committed two of the biggest gaffes they could possibly commit. Same day. Different gaffes. They are soooooo screwed now.
First, Obama lets slip the "big one" on gun control. He just admitted he wouldn't "have the votes" in Congress to take away guns. That means he has already been vote counting. You do NOT poll your Congressional delegation on something that can bite you on the ass like this unless you are SERIOUSLY planning to move forward with legislation. Back in 1994, the NRA mobilzed the pro-gun crowd in response to the assault weapons ban. The result started with "Speaker" and ended with "Gingrich." Now the democrat ticket has two F-rated candidates, and the Republicans have a war hero and a life-member caribou hunter ticket. And the Heller decision, with many huge gun-rights questions left unanswered, has the pro-gun movement ready for action. Do the math.
But the gun issue isn't why the forecast down below is calling for extra sweaters. No, the BIG gaffe comes from Joe Biden, who just admitted it is a matter of his faith that LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.
I'll pause a moment while you pick yourself up from the ground.
Yes, he believes life begins at conception. He is also still pro-choice. So, in a nutshell, he is ok with what can then only be logically described as infanticide. He would be better off, politicly, either becoming pro-life, or sticking with some sort of "three month" rule. Because now he is on record as a baby killer. The radical feminazi abortion-as-the-holy-sacrament crowd will now throw Biden under the bus. They may as well support Sarah Palin, who at least is a woman and at least is able to reconcile her beliefs on abortion and metaphysics.
There will be no place on the democrat ticket for Biden now. He is dead to the radical left at this point. He needs to back down and let Barack put Hillary on the ticket.
It's funny... a few days ago, the left were the ones saying McCain and Palin had to pull an Eagleton. Now, that's the only choice left for Barack Hussein Osama bin-Biden. The democrats are totally screwed. Polling coming out tomorrow will show McCain up by 10 points over Obama, and that's BEFORE tonights debacles. They are going to lose BIG TIME. The only question is: how bad will it be? If they can dump Biden and put Hillary on the ticket, they will still lose (no way Obama can recover from a blow like losing his own VP pick), but at least they might retain Congress. If Biden stays on the ballot, we might be looking at a new Speaker of the House come January.
If the MSM were not in the bag for Obama, I'd say: "Get out the popcorn."
But I think we've got a real chance to win now - even here in Oregon.

Nobody will notice, and if they did nobody will do anything.

UU, you are wrong. These are issues where the active groups are VERY aware and aggressively act.

Do you have some examples of the radical left being angry about Biden's comments?
So far, all the regular places you would think to find the radical left have not been upset about. He got huge Kudos's from Dkos for example.

Biden is not going off the ticket.
He may well kill the ticket, but he's not going anywhere. Obambi and company have spent too much in money and other resources, and the election is just a month and a half away.
Biden's an idiot, but Obambi selected him. And he has no choice but to go with it.
