And, now comes the really bad news for Sen. Biden (click on link for the rest of the story): Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2008 -- California Leads the Way http://mensnewsdaily.com/2008/10/17/domestic-violence-awareness-month-2008-california-leads-the-way/ The saying “As goes California, so goes the Nation,” never has been more true than for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2008. On October 14, the California courts led the nation in bringing public awareness to a previously hidden Domestic Violence issue -- that of battered men -- and subsequently ruled that battered men deserve equal protection under the law. Facing squarely the reality of Domestic Violence against men, the California Court of Appeals ruled that: “We find the gender-based classifications in the challenged statutes that provide programs for victims of domestic violence violate equal protection. We find male victims of domestic violence are similarly situated to female victims for purposes of the statutory programs and no compelling state interest justifies the gender classification. We reform the affected statutes by invalidating the exemption of males and extending the statutory benefits to men, whom the Legislature improperly excluded.” (page 2). (http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/documents/C056072.PDF). The implications of the California Appellate Court ruling are clear, compelling, and require a fundamental revision of all State and Federal Domestic Violence legislation to fully recognize the need for equal treatment of battered men under the law. It is particularly important to revise the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and replace it with a Domestic Violence Act that stands in compliance with the California court ruling. By its name alone, the Violence Against Women Act now is both Unconstitutional and scientifically misleading....

Yes, Joe is sending us a message...heed it. Joe is learning a very hard lesson.... everybody has warts if you get close enough to see them....so he now sees Obama, and it scares Joe. So Joe, be careful what you ask for, you might get it. We will vote Mc Cain and Palin.

Be afraid is right. Combine Joe's foreign policy foretfulness with Powell's statement that Obama is a man of consensus and Obama's stated use of principled diplomacy and we have a U.N. of the United States foreign policy that seeks consensus above all else and compartmentalizes compliance. I believe we had previous president that used that same policy for national defense and compartmentalized the original WTC bombing, the Khobar Towers bombing, African Embassy bombings and the USS Cole bombings. I also believe those events provided the test bed for 911. Yes. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Isn't it surprising that Obama, Biden, the DNC, their media storm troopers, Hollywood and music celebrity minions, and "democrats" in general explode in displays of visceral hatred against Sarah Palin "racist, KKK, nazi", Palin's family, and to a lesser extent, McCain, and anyone else who dares oppose them, but they can't find any fault with "Rev." (God Damn America/America invented the Aids virus to kill Black people) Wright and his "church", which Obama and his family attended for the past 20 years with no complaint about the racism or anti-American diatribes Wright was spewing (even though Wright and that "church" were receiving $15 million in taxpayer dollars over the last 15 years)! Wright WAS also Obama's campaign's "Spiritual Advisor" til Wright's enormous ego made him spill the beans! They likewise find no fault with Ayers & Dohrne, who founded the Weather Underground, that bombed the Capital, the Pentagon, police stations, and killed several people. Obama served on boards, committees, "civic projects", etc. with Ayers, his wife worked with him, they socialized with Ayers & Dohrne, have friends in common with them (i.d. Rashid Khalidi, who has ties to the PLO), and Obama's Illinois Senate run was announced from Ayers living room (Obama says Ayers "lived in his neighborhood!) In 2004 or 2005, Ayers said he only wished they had done MORE bombing, he's been photographed trampling the American Flag underfoot and grinning, but Obama says he "thought Ayers had been rehabilitated"! NOT rehabilitated, NOT repentent, avowed Marxist, vehemently says so in public, but Obama "didn't know about any of that"! He knows about it NOW, have you ever heard Obama denounce Ayers and Dohrne? Wright? No, just "some of their past activities". Never hear a word of criticism from anyone on the Obama side, do we? They don't CARE what Obama, his wife, or any of their associates have ever said or done! They have NO problem with racism, anti-Americanism, criminal connections, corruption, or abortion extremism, so long as those involved support Obama. No better definition of hypocrisy or "low-life" will ever be found.

GOP afraid????I don't think so. Their not the party that has spent $600,000,000 only to see a statistical tie going into the last 2 weeks of the election. No No No...Gore competent?? Why because he has a bunch of weathermen and Hollywood stars saying he is? Too much...you boys are certainly in for a November hangover. But remember ScottP it is your patriotic duty to pass the wealth around:).

ScottP is right. Even Lieberman doubts Obama can handle a crisis competently. But that is old news and is part of the reason Liberman backed McCain instead of Senator Government.

Ruggercop, you wrote, "McCain has yet to run an ad explaining why we should vote FOR him." Consider voting for him as the lesser of two evils, if you must think that way. Obama will usher into America an unfettered, socialist form of government. McCain, with all of his warts, will maintain the Republic as we know and love it under the Constitution.

Anyone else thinking that old Joe may not be around for long? Maybe it'll be blamed on a brain tumor. WHY isn't he being called to answer for this? Why isn't every "journalist" (ha) demanding an explanation?

. . .well at the end of the day - my candidate for VP is not being questioned under oath for abusing his public office - for a personal vendetta.

From someone who preaches daily that every major news organization both print and TV is a front for the DNC, that all forms of education in the country are in the hands of socialists, that the soon to be elected POTUS is a communist in disguise and that virtual every democrat yearns to impose socialism on the country, mocking someone about a right wing conspiracy seems incredibly hollow.

My guess--far less educated than your own, which I suspect, is just the slightest bit ingenuous--is that Joe is admitting that these tough times are not going to be turned around overnight. That doesn't at all mean that Obama would be in over his head, should he win the Presidency. It just means that a lot of effort must go into righting this listing ship of state, and that won't be done easily. If McCain should win, the same holds true.

We already seen a Marxist behavior with Obama personally going after Joe the plumber because Joe dare to question his policies. Under an Obama Presidency, Barack Obama's Brownshirt goon squads will pattern the same fascists in Nazi Germany. "Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993". "Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service." "The real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation... the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul "The Red" Alinsky". The Obamas want to create a boot camp for radicals who hate the military — and stick American taxpayers with the bill. Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion.

Sunday night all Americans must watch "Hannity's America" on Fox News Network. 9 p.m. ET and 12 a.m. ET Sean Hannity will tell Americans the top ten reasons why they should not vote for Barack Obama. Very important, everyone must see this before you vote.

I think old Uncle Joe needs his heels locked. You don't go to a security briefing and then make comments as he did. That in it self is a breach of security. Who else has he been flapping his lips to?? If he wan't to be Joe Cool, he needs to keep his mouth shut. When he open it he becomes Joe Idiot.
