Double standard

[TCPluto]

Okay...I understand now.

Biden's tragedy is not a tragedy at all.

Got it!

Again I state...who are you to pass judgment on Joe Biden and how he dealt with the tragedy in his life?

You have repeatedly stated he is using the tragedy in his life for sympathy...and for political gain.

But, somehow...you refer to John McCain as "relating" when referencing the tragic events in his life.

Right.

Now that's just an unusual place to arrive..... How did you get there?

Or Palin/McCain using an innocent baby with down syndrome for politcal purposes. Or McCain using his POW stance as a reason to be elected.

Biden says some stupid things. Palin says some stupid things. It all just depends what side of the aisle your shopping on. But, if you somehow want to believe that the Republicans who are spewing hate are somehow justified while the democrats who do the exact same thing are evil, that's ridiculous.

Here's the difference:

Biden lied about the circumstances of his wife's accident.

Palin hasn't held up her baby and said vote for me because I have a Down's Syndrome baby, so that part is incorrect. She did say that she understands people who have children with a disability because she has this baby who has is disabled. My daughter has one and I can say that I understand the problems and frustrations other parents of disabled children face. I'm not running for office, merely stating that I understand.
If she hadn't acknowledged Trig and his syndrome, the Dems would have acted like she was a monster for being embarrassed by her child. It's a no win situation for her with the Obama supporters.

Joe Biden hasn't stood up and said "Hey guys. My wife and daughter were killed in an accident! Were yours? Vote for me!"

He has an understanding of a tragedy such as this that I pray that I will never have. To accuse him of playing up his tragedy for political gain is ridiculous. If you feel that Joe Biden is seeking sympathy...then the same must be said for those politicians on the other side of the coin.

Biden admitted he lied. The reports supoport that he lied about the accident. I'll take him at his word.

I disagree with you, but I do see this is the philosphy that you, and many other BO supporters, follow....

I can show you many posts and even a thread or two I have started saying postitive things about both McCain and Palin - and not in the context of a negative. Do you have any of these?

Of course, double standards are everywhere in an election year. The sad thing is all those people who pretend it's only on the other side.

Funny clip, though.

I didn't know this was "you Vs. me"......

Because I have't started a thread about the positions with which I disagree with McCain, or commented on areas with which I disagree?? Interesting thought process...
