Comments on: He Looked Presidential, She Looked Mayoral

Assessment Of Body Language Expert Joe Navarro On Veep Debate; He Says Both Did Well

[jesuit12]

Biden sounded like he was on downers. He is either like Howrad Dean and completely out of control or he like he was for most of the debate last night. You could almost compare him to Al Gore.

With Obama4s program 95 percent of all American families would get a tax cut. He offers three times more tax relief for the middle class than McCain does. This fact will be decisive in the election.

The middle class will end up paying for taxes raise on the small business "trickle down". States with high income tax also have the highest unemployment rate. 7 out of the 10 lowest unemployment states are controlled by GOP, 2 by dems, 1 split dem/Gop....

Navarro was a interigator for the FBI, A human lie detector. He got a book out on telling if a player is bluffing or not at poker. He''s good except for the "He looked presidential. She looked mayoral". Navarro tight lips,and nod after the phrase meant that he wasn''t comfortable, but he got his agenda across. Changed of his breathing pattern during the phrase means he was lying. His body language at the end says -I''m in the tank with B.O. and the main stream news media.

The debates really don''t matter. The 2008 election has already been stolen. Millions of registered voters are being erased right now in many, many states. When people go to vote they will discover they are no longer on the registered rolls. If they insist they will be given a temporary ballot supposed ly to be verified later. Most of them will go straight into the trash if you are in a heavy democratic area.
Just as they did in 2004, they will take a number of the voting machines and lock them into a warehouse, so that in the heavily democratic areas people will have to wait in lines for as much as 10-11 hours. Of course most of these people are having their pay docked or they are paying babysitters, so many are forced to give up after waiting a few hours and go to work of to tend their children.
Of course, everybody is familiar with the caging, where in predominately black areas, people are intimidated, given wrong information about which polling place they should be at, etc.

It is all documented and entire books have been written. It is painful, but we really can''t keep our heads in the sand.

It doesn''t really matter what your political persuasion is, we Americans should not put up with this vicious destruction of our Democracy.

Just looking at the pic above, which one "looks" like they could converse with a putin or kim il joong?

Easy.

[stevex47]

The picture above really does sum up the story''s headline !

McCain , today, is cheerleading for Palin while he is stumping, and believe me, he neither looks presidential nor sounds presidential. His performance causes a perplexed look ~ the look that says "is he for real?"

[billo1409]

I think the last sentence sums up my thoughts exactly.Sarah Palin looks capable of being the mayor of a small town and Joe Biden clearly showed that he is capable of being president.

HERE IS MY QUESTION: How does the Republican Party "Ministry of Truth" plan to hijack the November election voting results and cheat their way into the White House this time? AND...what measures are the Democrats taking to see that doesn''t happen again?
They corrupted the results in Florida, they tampered with them in Ohio. What''s next?

She said the taliban, (or Talabani in Palinese) were working with us in Iraq.

She got out alive ... that''s the best that can be said ... I''m not sure even that wasn''t a courtesy move by Biden.

That''s the trouble with "Nights in White Satin" men when they are debating "Psycho" series women.

[hhowards1]

Oh-h-h-h, say it ain''t so, Joe!

What does "mayoral" look like? For that matter, define for us your understanding of the "presidential look". Is it that they could walk upright or have the right coiffe? So how do you describe the middle class "look"?

[hihawaii1]

Absolutely, great headline. But the town should have less than 7,000 population.

[noloyalisti]

It doesn''t matter who won the debate, Rove and his merry men WILL steal the election again. This time, millions must go out in the streets. We MUST be ready for the day after the election theft so that we are ready to act. We must not let the fascist GOP coup occur.

[ladyraestewa]

If people are not questioning McCain''s judgment by now, there is no hope for them at all. Palin isn''t qualified by a long shot and even she knows it. Shame on her for accepting and shame on McCain for offering but more shame upon anyone who supports her in that role. You are just as delusional and out of touch as McCain.

[diane42997]

If Palin gets elected after doing her "maverick", "Joe 6-pack", "hockey mom" etc.
cutesy stuff, we''ll be the laughing stock of the world.

[my_view_08]

Do we really want a V.P. to talk to world leaders, sounding like Yee Haw or the Beverly Hillbillies? She speaks at the age level of a 16 year old girl at the beach. Now is not the time to put another C- student in the White House. Mc Cain graduated 5th from the bottom of his class of 899 and she is simply a doll with the McCain camps hand up her rear. Doggun-it, Ya''ll dew understand me right. Please understand this, if the republicans who had control of the WH and both the Senate and The House of Reps in congress would have done the things that they preach about (conservative values) over the first term of Bush and the first half of his second term the Democrats would not have been voted in to congress in 2006. The Republicans had 6 years where they could not be challenged, whatever they wanted they got and here we are as a nation. Look we all know you don%u2019t%u2019 vote out a good thing.

Who did Biden''s facelift? Wow...terrible job!! What a phoney!

[jkjive]

I love how right-wingers think any news reporting that doesn''t agree with their perspective is bias. Overall, during the debate in terms of body language both displayed confidence, but Biden was more genuine. Palin''s folksy little winks, and cutesy little comments that some news commentators thought "connected" her to the people was annoying. She was condescending towards Biden and showed how empty and hollow she is as a person after his emotional expression about his family - when he said the American people need help I knew he was speaking from the heart and that he is committed to helping us - for Palin this is just another contest. In the end who do you want working out deals in Washington and working with foreign leaders - someone with kindness, knowledge, substance or someone who will wink at them and try to charm them with her put-on, completely fake folksy "style." REALLY?!? I would like to have people in the White House I can respect.

[lamontee33]

I completely agree with the last sentence - "He looked presidential. She looked mayoral." Palin did much better than was expected but her responses were very limited. She was stuck in a loop of the same few answers, while Biden showed that he has a real grasp of the issues. Palin did not answer many of the questions. Biden answered them all. Palin''s winking and goofy folkisms were insulting to intelligent americans. I don''t think we need hockey mom Joe six pack to get this country out of the mess we''re in, I think we need smart, sober, and meaningful leadership which Biden and Obama have.
