The Vice-Presidential Debate in 3 Minutes

[Timotodragon8885]

Bottom line Rep and Dem alike... haven't you had enough people making promises to you and not following through. OBAMA is the biggest lier American Presidency has ever seen... Bring the troops home, remove the Patriot Act, No higher taxes.. come on.. really? now we're looking another another war? Both politicans mentioned here wavered in their voting background. LETS put someone who has stayed with his heart and the constution since his first day in office 20 yrs ago. RON PAUL FOR PRES 2012!

[twogoodith]

@Timotodragon8885 Good points, which taxes were raised again?Income taxes?

[TheArmedGrizzly]

of you numb headed republicans can stop throwing dirt at obama and listen to a simple european, obamas "failures" with the economy, partly because of the economic situation that BUSH left for the democrats when they took over. in the next election i guess the republicans will win and if you have people like sarah palin as president the economy will just get worse and worse, and then the democrats will take over in the foolowing election, just to be accused of "failing" once more. and on and on

[Frostdessert4]

You want to see FAILURE, look at your "CHANGE" you elected!! that's the only idiot I see!

[dumbell2424]

Palin: "...How are we gonna pay those tuition bills?"

A TV Show!

[Steamrunner92]

Speaking to the American people? What I heard from Sarah was :

"blabber blabber maverick blabber inane talking points blabber blabber maverick blabber evading the direct questions of the moderator"

[pescando]

Best editing job. I hate all the ums and pauses. You make 'em both look so good.

[EleventhEnd]

@pescando

if you actually watched the full debate you might actually notice the lack of ums and pauses.

[pilipinasmabuhay100]

'Hey can I call you Joe?' xD

[KenyanBoyBiggz]

I swear Sarah Palin is so fuckin stupid its scary. there are alot of country redneck americans that love this woman and i would probably do if i was a redneck but damn. she is the stupidest person i have ever seen try and run for office. she sounds like one of those aunties at the family reunions that no one wants to listen to. i wish i could sit her down for an IQ test. i would really love to know what her IQ is because i dont see how the republicans let this woman run for VP. lol bring 2012.

[andeazye]

he ate her food made her look stupid

[John3285]

Palin "I'm not gonna answer the questions...."

Moron!!!

[MachiminaGaming]

@John3285 ... in the conventional way. Your quoting sucks as much as the obama administration

[John3285]

@MachiminaGaming you suck more

[elove20202003]

She is such a dumbass whiner..... Maverick this maverick that...She is full of shit!!!!

[thethunderbolt9]

It is finally over. The American people finally voted for the right candidate for "CHANGE"...wow..

[Lasorna]

You forgot their beliefs on gay marriage. =>

2:15 was a very good point.

[DreamsWorkSSE]

Man! She's really good at bull shitting!

[screechwashere]

wow what the hell was McCain thinking when he picked her??? if thats the best he could find in the rep party then thats sad....

[818loko]

haha sarah got OWNED!!

[eric710221]

Write in Ron Paul!

[jessemp3]

that dumb bitch woman should be slapped 4 even trying

[nybadfish]

just keep sucking obama's dick you liberal douchebag. less typing and more ball massaging.

[pwnurnoobazz]

Funny how you never see Biden talking anymore...

[iKinDesigns]

TI guess they figured it was wise to keep him out of the spotlight.

"In 1929, when Teddy Roosevelt addressed then nation on national television..."

I think that statement from Biden alone out-does anything Palin has ever regretted to say. Combined.

[peeenisss]

are you kidding? yeah that was a stupid thing to say, but at least Biden displays a basic knowledge of the workings of our government and the policies and conditions of the last 8 years. you know, the important, RELEVANT things. gaffe gaffe gaffe. FUCK gaffes, they mean nothing. being totally clueless on key issues- THAT'S a problem.

[iKinDesigns]

So does Palin.

But she's back in Alaska now, where she belongs.

Now we all get to sit back and watch a bunch of rookies fuck up the country.

[MildlyDiscomforting]

How is Joe Biden a rookie? At all?

How is Sarah Palin experienced?

Don't make points on halfass statements man. But that's obviously something you've learned from the FAILED McCain campaign trail. Hopefully there's someone looking at that and seeing right through your bullshit.

[pwnurnoobazz]

Or when he thought JOBS was a three letter word XD Both the VP's have given me some great laughs, even being a McCain supporter.

[nybadfish]

obama helped tank this economy so i don't understand why everyone still trusts him to fix it.

[timmyishot]

Now how did he do that? Proof?

[nybadfish]

well shit, he got the second highest amount of money from fannie mae and freddy mac in the senate, he didn't want to reform them when republicans like mccain did, fannie and freddy collapsed the banks, and therefor the economy. all because people like obama wanted to skim money off the top of their cash cow and pressure banks into giving out home loans to people who couldn't afford them.

[nybadfish]

not to mention two of the ceo's of fannie mae and freddy mac are now obama's economic advisors. it's like the blind leading the blind.

[1XLinkXD]

biden didnt know half of mc cains plans he keeps judgeing them about how wrong they are i want to hear his plans

GO MC CAIN 08

[FluffyMcNugget]

wow this is actually great, sorta unbiased too, its hard to say though because over all i thought biden did a lot better in the actual debate, so no matter what your gonna get more parts with him being better, but 0:58 is great, hehe contradicting herself

[rangephyco]

ummmm how fucking dumb is Sarah Palin

[katiatomsk]

Go McCain/Palin! Go for green energy. Go for helping us pay insurance costs while maintaining freedom to choose the care. Go for being a USA natural born citizen. Go for becoming free from foreign oil.

Go for victory in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[hrselingo]

your full of crap get your facts strait and then make your " go voldemort fudge 08 comments!!!!!" 

for the record, im not for Obama either

Go Nadar!

[sniper034]

You people should be more focused on abortion. Something like 1.3 million children are aborted every year in the U.S. Thats about 3,700 per day, which is basically 9/11 every day. Heck, of about 11,000 babies born in a day we're killing around a third of them. We're killing ourselves faster than those Islamic radicals could have ever dreamed of.

But really, more American children die in 2 days than soldiers who have died since we've invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Wake up people.

[Michael326]

Unfortunately, people don't ever seem to wake up. It's all about themselves. These people would abort a baby and on the same day, protest the execution of a Homicidal-Necropheliac wanted for murder. It's really ridiculous how these people act. Of course, I'll probably hear from Obama supporters that saying that is racist because it goes against Obama's ideas.

[poolofAIDS]

"these people" vs "that one"

good job buddy

[yzeerkd]

A fetus is not a person. Stop calling them children. Got a problem with that? Find a scientist to prove otherwise. A credible scientist, not a member of the religious right.

[sniper034]

No, it isn't a person. But it can become one. That is why it is treated as one. You can't end life before life has a chance to prove itself.

[Michael326]

Definition of a fetus: The unborn offspring from the end of the 8th week after conception (when the major structures have formed) until birth

Now, just because it is unborn, doesn't make it in-human. By the time you even have a fetus, ALL OF THE MAJOR STRUCTURES OF THE BODY have been mostly formed, including the heart. Once that LIFE starts to have a heartbeat, it can be classified as a living, soon-to-be breathing organism. And now you're going to tell me that killing it is a GOOD thing?

[PartVIII]

The GOOD thing is giving women a choice whether or not to have an abortion.

If you dont agree with abortions, THAN DONT HAVE ONE!

[Jake9123]

how is that good? the child is another human ots not like the mothers finger or something, it a HUMAN WHAT IF THAT CHILD WOULD BE THE NEXT EINSTEIN? WELL TO BAD THE MOM WANTED THE KID CUT UP INTO LITTLE PICES I HATE ABOURTION AND ALL THE DOCTORS WHO DO THEM SHOULD BE SHOT!

[patmathis]

Yes, let's make abortion illegal.

Then it will go away.

Just like drugs, prostitution, and gambling.

We made those illegal, now they don't exist.

[stavropol]

HAHA - well put

[sniper034]

You can mostly control what goes on in hospitals, fool. This is a matter of life and death, not of politics or jokes.

"I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born." - Ronald Reagan

[Daedalus2984]

If abortions don't go on in hospitals, the freelance abortions with coat hangers will go on. Abortion isn't going away no matter how many people cry a river over it. Might as well make sure it's safe for the mother at least.

[sniper034]

Yeah, not try to make an attempt to reduce the murdering. Just let 'em keep doing it. Souds good, presuming you're a Satanist.

[Daedalus2984]

I'd rather be aborted than have to live with parents who didn't want me. No child should ever have to go through that.

Why is it that the same people against abortion tend to condone murdering people in wars in horrible ways?

Also, what's so wrong with death? It's pain and suffering that I want to diminish. Death is certain.

[sniper034]

Thats what adoption shelters are for. If the person REALLY wants to die, they'll do it themselves. But face it, humans are afraid to die, no matter how much they try to cover it up. And I'm not against war. I'm against idiotic conflicts that have little justification other than tribal warfare.

[Daedalus2984]

Have you seen the type of life kids who go to adoption centers have to live? Death is a favor. I would take death over that any day. That's the nicest thing that could be done to them.

War is childish. There is no excuse for it.

[sniper034]

If they want to die, let them kill themselves. But not letting them have a chance to live is plain unfair. And your right, war is childish, except when they attack you first. Then its defence rather than attack.

[patmathis]

Yes, you can control what happens *IN HOSPITALS*!!!

Do you know ANYTHING about the history of abortion?

Do you think coat hangers are a common tool used in hospitals?

Idiot.

[Daedalus2984]

Hehe, it helps solve the overpopulation problem!

Seriously, I'd rather I was aborted then live the horrible lives that unwanted children have to go through. It's a mercy killing.

[Michael326]

But then you got the controversy over whether or not the baby itself wants to live. Of course people would shut out the actual persons decision on whether to live or not, simply because they can't talk. It's just as easy to put them up for adoption. I had a friend who was paid $3000 USD by somebody who wanted her baby, and it wasn't because of the money, it was because she had sex one night and had a baby which she didn't want. WHY does it have to be killing when you can put it up for ADOPTION?

[PartVIII]

I was an orphan for my whole life. I had teenage parents who were foolish and didnt use protection. They didnt believe in having an abortion due to religious reasons and had no choice but to put me up for adoption.

There are thousands of children who never get adopted, are forced to live with other alone and dont want anything in life other than to have a family of their own.

Why not let people who do not want a child have a CHOICE to have them?

Its not like abortions are enjoyable =/

[fetheks]

just so you know...you wouldn't be here then

[PartVIII]

im well aware.

[MachiminaGaming]

@PartVIII Here's your choice: use a contraceptive :) I dont give how young/foolish you are :)

[Kilendger]

lol this video makes only obama look good! obama '08

[punchNathan]

you have to imagine how much John McCain's campaign manager cringed when he remembered "oh shit, this lady has to be in a debate."

[boomtao]

I must admit -being a republican- that Biden comes over more intelligent and as having more common sense and insight than Palin. I just don't like that cutesy, hockeymom-like ignorance. I was very disappointed with McCain when he chose her. I didn't understand the choice other than it being an attempt to copy Obama's youthfulness into his campain. I know many more republicans who are disenchanted now with Palin in the mix.

[Real333]

i would certainly hope so

[flanderlin]

holy... sarah palin is embarrassing to listen to

[alexwolffrocks412]

Palin SUCKS.

[nybadfish]

great, i can't wait to start handing my money over to people who don't work.

[AjaPuppy1]

You mean money you don't really need? The only way you would pay more for taxes is if you make more than 250k a year, in which case, you don't really need more money. It is a naive notion that through hard work you can always become prosperous and rich. Oh, and by the way, I would be taxed more under Obama's plan, so I'm not supporting the plan because I want more money.

[Pygmonicus]

god she doesnt answer questions she just winks and smile like a fool.

[tracitay51]

hahahahah can i call you joe?...wow

GO OBAMA GO BIDEN

[nerdishh]

Joe Biden is secretly Mr. Rogers.

:D

[jimmysong200]

lol

[p00pin]

Obama? McCain?

watch?v=Tl9a9k2yMq0

[reset22312]

"the notion that somehow" or just "the notion"... they ALWAYS say that.

[albinogiraffetyrant]

what people dont seem to realize is that there is a legitimate chance that either of the vice president candidates may become president; because of mccain's age and because there are a lot of radical racists in this country.

biden or palin? this is and obvious choice

GO OBAMA/BIDEN

[jimmysong200]

Yay OBAMA!!!!!!! but if u look listen to the question and see palins answer, they have nothing in common

i think she thinks that the american people are idiots and the more she talks the smarter she looks....

[rdrioane]

McCain?Obama? Does't matter. No real change with either. Both support our interventionist foreign policy. Both support the international banking intrests of the Federal Reserve. Both voted in favor of FISA that took away our 4th amendment right. Both voted to take taxpayers dollars and bail out Wall Street and banks. Obama/McCain means no change.

[Real333]

although you're on to something here, there are major differences. first off, obama opposes the war in iraq in which we carelessly spend 16 billion dollars a year. he supports natural energy resources but NOT more drilling. and his economic plan is completely different than mccains which is the main reason why everyone is hating on him so much for "spreading the wealth". and for the record they BOTH want to spread the wealth but obamas giving it to people who don't already have money. vote!!!!!!

[jimmysong200]

im happy dat ur voting for obama but obama duznt want more drilling becuz the oil companies have 16 million acres of land that they're NOT drilling on

after they drill that area, obama will let them drill more

[rdrioane]

Hi Real333. If Obama opposes the war in Iraq why has he voted consistantly voted to fund it? All he's talking about now is moving troops to Afganistan. Another place that has not attacked us. Litmus test for me on economy was the $850billion bailout. He and McCain both voted for the corperations and against the taxpayer for generations. Neither is talking about how the Federal Reserve created the mortgage bubble. Same, Same. I did vote. Wake up America.

[Real333]

while obama is indeed voting to fund it, he opposes funding unless there is a timescale. i don't think any intelligent person would want us to just pack our bags and leave in one day. we need to leave cautiously on a timescale. also, what if mccain died? or obama got shot for being black? it's entirely plausible and would anyone honestly like having sarah fucking palin as our president rather than biden? to me, it's an obvious decision and i don't understand why it's so hard for some people.

[rdrioane]

There is no "timescale" and Obama has consistantly voted to fund the Iraq intervention? Now we have moved away from my original thesis that there is no real differance between the two candidates to what, their VP picks? Obama/McCain it's all the same. P.S. Begining words in sentences and proper names are always capitalized.

[justonekissgoodnight]

Thank you Joe Biden ! Man who beat -up on women are the lost form of live on this Plant! Thanks for your help!Save haven Act!

[sg53d]

McCain/Palin! cos truth counts!

[jimmysong200]

ur a loser

[MightyQueen2500]

I'm voting for McCain! Obama won't tackle our debt. By the fourth financial quarter he'd have us 'on the outs'. Obama could cripple our defenses and we'd be susceptible to terrorist attack! McCain touches on our emergency issues; The real situation, underneath the 'game'. We have to start answering for unperceivable punishment without disaster. I can't perceive that things would go wrong with McCain as long as we keep an eye on him! Vote on all propositions! Believe! Native Earth Humans have it.

[leofrea]

You need to keep an eye on him for him to perform well? And you want him president? Seriously?

[MightyQueen2500]

Well, leofrea, neither candidates are God Almighty's angels. McCain will work but pay attention! I can't even fathom Obama. He's not a strong enough candidate. Believe me, I look forward to an appropriate President, a descendent from the origin of civilization in Africa, but Obama isn't the one.

[jimmysong200]

cough cough i dont think iraq is very happy with us attacking them. if we withdraw we'd get 16 billion a year less in spending

[punchNathan]

i thought we were spending 10 billion a month, eh?

[jimmysong200]

sorry

im not that good with facts...im 11 :) i cant vote but if i could im going with obama

well i meant month but im not sure how many billions

[sniper034]

Yeah, support a man that would have let your parents kill you if they wanted to. That makes a lot of sense.

[shandon1786]

The key statement you just made was "if they wanted to".Last time I checked this was a "free" land,or at least that is whats argued by politicians,if this is truly a "free" land the individual has the choice on what to do concerning their own lives AND that of the fetus the mother has to support for 9 months prior to the 18 years before they can legally kick it out of the house.Freedom of Choice is exactly that,a freedom to CHOOSE.Theres plenty of beautiful kids in adoption clinics needing help

[sniper034]

Ending their life before they have a chance to do anything (good or bad) is plenty fair, isn't it (super sarcasm)? True freedom does not mean limiting someone else's rights, including a right to live. You shouldn't be able to end a child's life because you didn't bother to wear protection. That is ridiculously stupid and it is unfair to the kid.

[shandon1786]

Take a look at the people who would be bringing up most of those aborted children. Do you know what its like to grow up in a family that you weren't wanted? Have you ever gone to a child's psyche ward and spoken to the children born into the families that did want them? If there is a heaven I'd rather the kid die and go there before they had to live through those things. I totally agree that people should wear protection or give up for adoption, but abortion is a needed option for many.

[sniper034]

No I don't know what it's like because my parents were responsible people. Just because a person is irresponsible doesn't mean they should be allowed to take the life of another human being. That is completley unfair. The kid should at least have the chance to live.

[shandon1786]

As were mine,preacher's son, but Ive done social work with children from these homes and you couldn't imagine how many times I've heard kids say they wished they were dead because some fagot ass dad,mom,or grandparent got their jollys off hurting them.Would you like to take a guess how those kids end up? Usually suicide. And if your a christian you think these kids go to hell no matter what in which case abortion would have saved them from a fiery eternity

[shandon1786]

Im honestly not trying to be a dick to you or get on your nerves, i just like hearing other opinions so i can test my own

[sniper034]

Ok, understood. But you can't abort a child. You'll go to hell for treating them like dirt or ditching them, but you'll also go to hell for not giving them a chance to do anything. If you suicide, the Church says that you weren't thinking correctly and you are thus absolved from eternal torment.

[crazyperson1000]

youll not go to hell for either

[sniper034]

Whoa, obviously didn't both to read my last few comments. Congrats for being lazy.

[crazyperson1000]

oh shit srry DISREGARDED!!

[animegirl33b]

Hell doesn't excist.

[jimmysong200]

uh wait

that wuznt the correct number....sry my bad

[ScourgeoftheBay]

Excellent performance by Biden in this debate.

Just want to point out a very touching moment at 2:22 where Biden looks as if he might cry...a rare emotional moment in the debate.

[weeeeeeeweeeeeeeeee]

"Just want to point out a very touching moment at 2:22 where Biden looks as if he might cry...a rare emotional moment in the debate. "

agreed my friend.

[BExHASH]

Sarah Palin... what a joke.

[JSZstudios]

Palin... That's the punch line... Make your own joke!

[Apple13131]

"So No. Maverick he is NOT"

No to McCain, No to Bush

Go Obama!

[VerKnackular]

fuck me! haha

[cooper79jeffr]

Sarah PALES IN comparison to any other vice presidential candidate in our country's long history.

[Delta2099]

lol people are so easy to judge other people, its amazing that statistically those people are the failures and the reason that america its all f up, trying to blame someone or something for their failure in life.

[Smithpromotions]

Exactly.

[steve89z]

this chick is a joke.dumb as hell.

[steve89z]

f her ,f the republicans! they have ruined my country usa.they suck and are crooks.they are war criminals and should be in jail!

[Peekingduck]

May Obama win...

[mom2faithnjames]

WOW, she is annoying! Patronizing, and fake!!!! Go Biden, don't let her use the feel bad for me tactic because she is a mom, special needs kid...blah blah...i'm a mom too, but dads go through just as much.

[steve89z]

amen

[kidrockisamoron]

Sarah AIRHEAD Palin!

Plane Jane. MaryJane Gilligans Island

Maryann. WHAT AN AIRHEAD!

[levey1134]

good summary but i think some important things are missing... maybe this should have been 5 minutes? it would be hard for biden, hitting obama so hard when he was still running, to be able to back him up now. I also think when biden was talking about health care, should have said what he believes cuz its not true that he supposts obamas plan. he should have said heres obamas plan, and heres how i think he should change that.

[ericnotderek]

Omg how hard is it to govern alaska.. lmao.. GO OBAMA

[Wizjkahna]

This is the first general election where I have genuinely liked all of the major presidential and VP candidates. I still don't think Sarah Palin is qualified enough...but I like her. That's hard for a staunch Democrat to say.

[takasta]

good video, thanx

[Tuthill99]

Excellent video, thank you for posting this easily accesible summary of the debate. Keep up the good journalism TIME.
