Joe Biden on John McCain: Maverick He Is Not

[SuddenSparkles]

If you want to learn how to debate effectively, how to be a stellar leader in your own life, just look at the Biden example. He is such a shining example of hard work and the reality of the American dream which is that we can only get things accomplished when we pull together and work as one united people. That applies to other countries as well. If hard work only gets you in the dog house then it's a shame to your own kind.

[nnesty]

Wow.... apparently Joe finally got something right.... McCain is not a Maverick!.... LOL

[SkeksisRule]

I don't see why people don't like Biden. He would have made a good President. But I think he serves a better purpose as VP where he can speak more openly without as much scrutiny. He's a bulldog and he knows his shit.

[Alecal89]

He murdered palin there

[McConsumer]

lol@Biden talking about deficit spending.

[TheRockinator2]

That's a lot of mavericks!

[incrediblehulkmovies]

Biden you are the scariest thing since a dark cave.

[BIZZY828]

OWNED.

[16Mirr]

no offense, but i couldn't see joe biden as president if barack obama dropped out or something happened to him.

[falidanfan]

I saw this shit live. We had to do a project on the U.S. elections.. So glad Obama won. :)

[someUtubeguy]

Joe Biden is a good counter to Obama's politeness and composure.

[argentiniandan]

joe you are awesome

[dobiefan]

man he ate palin for lunch.

[AlmightyJesus]

Someones mobile phone is ringing.

[cfro251]

the funniest part of this debate is every time plain spoke,

the graph on the bottom of the screen plummeted downwards..

biden has this debate for lunch (he won)

[ldksparda]

Huh, Yuo know, it kinda reminds me why the guy who made megaman x and zero were both founded by politics. I mean you have Mega Man X who is the blue robot guy and Zero is the red robot guy and you know, Mega Man is the hero, just like Zero is, but zero is a maverick and Mega Man X is a maverick hunter.

[AtLeastFlush]

Zero is a maverick hunter too.

Mavericks are bad guys in the game, Zero is the red guy with long hair that hunts mavericks with mega man. It would have been funny if he was a maverick tho...

[JohnnyV123]

I can't believe no one made a mega man x john mccain parody thing. He could have been named "McCain Elephant" who is a maverick looking to control the entire world.

[bloodmoon0011]

My friend actually edited McCain's face as it would look with Megaman X graphics and put it on Sigma's shoulders. It was great.

[krissyw]

Biden doesn't like that word Maverick...lol

[GameGuru2004]

MAVERICK HE IS NOT haha, this has become alittle inside joke in my government class

[argentiniandan]

lol you're such a tool. "eerrr my government class.."

gameguru you are as stupid as sarah palin

[GameGuru2004]

and u r?

[roni51154]

IMO, this was the best moment of the debate. A very genuine, heart felt response. Go Biden!

[GrandGuignologist]

The news is already suppressing stories that might make their candidate look bad. they falsly report the pole numbers. they will hack electronic voting machines, and obama will win. Obama a true American terrorist.

[bigreef2007]

McCAIN IS ONLY PROTECTING THE RICH.THE ONES THAT WILL STEAL YOUR 401K,TAKE YOUR JOBS OVER SEAS,CUT EDUCATION FUNDING,KICK YOU OUT CAUSE OF NO HEALTH INSURANCE, NO PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN,AND MORE TAXING FOR WAR. KEEPING HIS FRIENDS RICH AS THE WORKING CLASS GETS PUSHED BACK.OBAMA OFFERES HOPE AND PEACE. ONLY THE RICH FEAR HIS POLICIES. DIDN'T McCAIN GET SHOT DOWN,CAUGHT AND HELD HOSTAGE FOR YEARS? DON'T LOOK SO MAVERICK TO ME.

[krp2nyte]

Palin got spanked.

[dakiddemenda]

maverick he is not.

[dylanfloyd420]

go joe! he totally trashed mccain and owned palin

[trh2130]

The oonly Maverick tat comes to mind when thinking of McCain is a rusty 1970 Ford

[seaFoodSifu]

Biden is a BEAST! He just completely annihilated John McCain and Sarah Palin!

[skyezdlimit]

Hahahaha Damn MaCain and palin got fucking owned!!!! LOL

On October 10, 2008, the Republican-dominated Alaska Legislative Council unanimously voted to release the Branchflower investigative report[139] which found that Sarah Palin unlawfully "abused her power" as governor and violated the state's Ethics Act[140] when her office pressured Monegan to fire Wooten, but that firing Monegan "was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority

[JimboChau]

Say it ain't so Joe.

[RollandB]

Go Joe!

[trktrt]

Anyone who is calling themselves a maverick should not be in office. A maverick is someone who stands alone, is independent, who doesn't agree with others or work with others. It's their way or the highway. This is a dangerous person to be running the country.

We had a reckless maverick in George Bush look where that got us. But worst yet look at Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Muammar Al-Gaddafi, Kim Jung-il, and Omar al-Bashir just to name a few, all mavericks. We don't want a maverick America.

[Vaati227]

palin got owned

[FAnchax]

your mom's a maverick

[suspendmeassholes]

he wiped the floor with the 'maverick'

[rhgu4life]

what the fuck is a maverick?

[rhgu4life]

you're a stupidass brainwashed redneck

[nikkokyaw]

STUPID MAVERICK

[pooper4]

I hate that word now.

[lioneljeshur]

Ouch haha

[poohterethan]

HE VOTED AGAINST CHILDREN

[charlymexicocity]

cute vid

[50emiludamillionaire]

BARS!!!!

[blizzy63]

Maverick!

Haven't we had enough of a swaggerin', Texas maverick over the last 7 years?

[BlackTooth93]

hey, i'm texan, i take offense to that. i support obama, hate bush (second one anyways), and love texas.

[DaddyDog42]

McCain won't sit down with the leader of SPAIN.

[m0rz]

Wait so John McCain is part horse? I don't know it could be maybe when he was imprisoned they tortured him by giving him horse parts and that's why the call him a maverick. That's what I have heard.

[lzcougarz3]

No, he's senile and believes he is a member of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.

[masheduser]

I did my own personnal pole, with the residents of my town, i would ask them who they were voting for, if it was for Mc Cain, i would ask them to define the word maverick, would you think that 78/83 didn't give a correct definintion, and 47/83 didn't have a clue? I'm really starting to think that the republican party can win this race with idiocracy.

[warforthought]

lol....

when asked ANYTHING about obama's platforms, all i got was "he stands for hope and change."

...idiocracy, huh?

[boorady56]

Ok??? give me an example of sarah palin actually thoroughly answering a question in the first debate...

[warforthought]

I'm not denying anything about the mindless Republicans, either. To be honest, I have to agree with you. Palin scares the hell outta me.

I'm just saying not one party is to blame. Both parties have relied heavily on false images and catchphrases..

[totylee]

Geez, it's embarrazing enough that they call themselves Mavericks...I bet 10 white men in the whitehouse invited other 5 white men in Fox News and decided to use the word "maverick" a lot.

Suck my dick fucking palin slut, become a maverick doing that u esquimo loving cunt.

[blondiechica4444]

a true maverick doesn't label himself a maverick.

how could sarah palin even THINK she has the right to label herself a maverick?

the mccain campaign is a joke - its scamming the American people.

[GeorgeT50]

lol mc cain is not a leader he didnt lead his own pow to safety haha.

[hrithikmania98]

shut up, palin. shut up.

biden owned her.

[Exec2154]

Owned

[Rata4You]

mav·er·ick (mvr-k, mvrk) see McCain;

n.

1. An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.

Evidently there's alot of bullshit coming from

McCain so I'm convinced that he is indeed a

"maverick".

[BlooBeluga]

boom.  that's what truth sounds like.

[Drfong2112]

Is it me or does the term "Maverick" remind anyone of an OLD green 4door Ford ?

[yankees1234577]

It reminds me of an OLD white piece of shit

[AmericanParanoiaTV]

James Garner, who played the original "Maverick" - Bret - on TV, has filed a restraining order on behalf of Jack Kelly (Bart) , Roger Moore (Beau) and Robert Colbert (Brent), demanding that John McCain and Sarah Palin cease and desist referring to themselves as Maverick or Mavericks.

[kimber08]

Palin should eliminate the word Maverick from her vocabulary!

[yul65]

You know who else was always called a Maverick?? Al Davis of the Raiders... and look at him now.

[otacon451]

according to a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center (look it up), Obama's tax/spending plan will increase the deficit by 5 TRILLION dollars in the next decade, while McCain, will increase it by 3.5 TRILLION, without even considering spending outside of their plans. I intend to vote for Obama but this is extremely scary, and something everyone should consider

[schwirzl]

sorry, but it s the other way around:

obama 3.5 trillion

mccain 5 trillion by 2018

factcheck org

[malwint]

I'm confused. What exactly has McCain been a Maverick about?

[joinalbin]

Biden hit the nail on that one. maverick my ass. how can u call mccain a maverick when he voted with bush 90 percent of the time? the whole republican party can suck my nuts.

[punjabiguy101]

McCain is an idiot.

[trannybass]

pwned....

[luannevelez]

Stupid dumb idiot lady that just crammed a bunch of buzzwords and punch lines for the debate....thats why she never answered the questions she was asked, but always wanted to talk about something else....

And then whenever she was finally asked about whatever topic she had been on about, she had no more to say! DUMB, DUMB, DUMB

Women have taken a few steps back because of her....totally ruined all what Hilary just accomplished...

OBAMA 08

[luannevelez]

lol lol lol

MAVERICK HE IS NOT!!!!!!

[Jamzkangster]

hahaa fuck you Palin you retarded cunt, although I'd rip your pussy any day of the week.

[DUGLESSM]

maverick he is not!!!!! lol i love it

[bobaboiz03]

palin just got her ass spanked in front of billions of people worldwide

[mattybinks]

Pwned.

[happyjuce]

He basically fucked Palin in the ass in front of 100 million people

[Stoptheinsane]

Thank-You Mr. Biden for

SHUTING THE INSANE MCCAIN CAMP DOWN about that fantasyland, hallucination claim about being a "MAVERICK".

[LovingWhoIReallyAm]

GOOOO BIDEN!!

[filmadi]

I would vote for him as a president and Obama VP.

[BIZZY828]

This is when Joe Biden killed her

[dolphinsupset06]

Lets not forget that Joe Biden plagiarized while running for president in the 80's. Fuck democrats.

McCain Palin08

[MaxKBennett]

Really? thats the best you can do?

Doesn't that strike you as being a bit trivial in the face of, wars, economic collapse, and anti-scientific denialism?

Geez...

[Zero1RR]

And palin had scripted talking points during the debate thats why she always went off topic.

[slick5trumpet]

This is the single greatest thing I have heard a politician say... ever.

[Smokydoggg]

Obviously, to the media at least, a fake little wink ;), some "betchas", her pretty looks, and the "deer in headlights" look wins over Biden's reasoning...

BUT NOT WITH US. NOT WITH YOUTUBE. Not with real everyday people.

Where will those pretty looks and winks and "betchas" get us when Palin and McCain follow the same path Bush has taken oh yes that's why she doesn't want to look back, because she's more of the same, but where will they get us when America has sunk deeper under THEM?

[Smokydoggg]

MAVERICK HE IS NOT!!!

The media may cover up the fact that Joe Biden had all the answers and Sarah Palin dodged every question, but thankfully the internet sees the truth!

The internet will tell things how they are.

Mrs. Palin reminds me of many schoolteachers I had in my youth, standing nervously in front of a class and making fake, desperate attempts at coming down to their level and becoming friends with them.

[melodylemon]

Biden could have embarrassed her on so many occasions if he wanted to when she refused to answer the questions but he did not. He was so polite.. and answered everything that was asked. Palin on the other hand was dodging the questions.. unbelievable.

Obama/Biden '08

[Smokydoggg]

That's the problem with her being a woman, If Biden had been an asshole to her he's the one that would have looked bad... even if he was telling the truth and being reasonable, as he was throughout this whole debate. Please, media stop treating her like she's some retard like "oh look she can talk! she can debate! wow she's so great for being able to do that!" NEWSFLASH every politician can do THAT, but WHO CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUES???????????? NOT Palin, obviously.

[writemrbond]

Yes! Expose the republican lies! McInsane has never been a "maverick." He's just another deregulating, lobbyist-schmoozing, corporate-butt-kissing, lying, cheating republican hack who thinks he can buy his way into office. And you can see the fires of Palin's insanity burning behind the glasses on that pretty fembot face of hers. She would push that red button just so whe could meet Jesus sooner! Well, there is no way we are going to let those two nutcases get into office and destroy America!

[zoarmonkey]

Biden Pounded the McPalin ticket to the mat with that destruction of McCain as ---"McCain is NO Maverick"... That should be the MAJOR STORY today in the Media, but no they stayed away from it and only talked about how Palin survived!!! WOW!... The Media is So Right Wing... Palin was just a pull string doll, reciting her lines, so fake and those eye winks at the camera made me PUKE BLUE BILE on the TV Screen. Palin sucked but the Media defended her. Biden was GREAT!!!!

[bobsyeronkla]

Just like Bush.

[frankgug]

Palin was like one of those PULL STRING DOLLS that came out of the 60's, but then morphed into a STEPFORD WIFE. She MEMORIZED HER TALKING POINTS and she DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. I feel anyone watching knows this, BIDEN SCHOOLED BARBIE!

[Msbea345]

MCCAN'T AND FALIN

[bopbopbopbaby]

As a non American political enthusiast I was very impressed with the calibre of Joe Biden's argument and delivery, this is a classic example of the on-the-spot ingenuity which puts Joe Biden miles ahead of Sarah Palin as a vice presidental candidate in one of the world's most powerful democracies. The American electorate has a responsibility to elect the candidates who are most capable and competent for the job. In terms of VP candidates the answer is clear.

[omglolwots]

Owned.

[crfranchises1]

No Rehearsed. He has been working on this speech for weeks. When Palin is VP im sitting down with her and watching the superbowl and getting shit faced. Because shes an american working woman, and thats who she cares about. Yeeeeeeeee, Haaaaaaa!

[Msbea345]

good luck with that

[truesttest]

If this was an episode of American Idol, Ms. Palin might sneak this performance by the judges with her winks and her "you betcha's"...but this isn't American Idol. This is America's Future.

She is exactly what you can not have in a leader. She is very confident...and very wrong.

Just like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and McCain.

Obama/BIDEN '08!

Thank you Joe. Thank you.

[fataardvark]

Biden turned up ready to debate, Palin turned up ready to regurgitate what she's been fed at the ranch over the last few days. Hey, Sarah! The answers should be partially relevant to the questions!

[misterjoecool]

As a non-American, may I say that I thought Joe Biden was the most impressive presidential candidate for me and on this showing, still is. The guy's intelligent, passionate and speaks like a dream.

[jortiz610]

THANK YOU BIDEN!!!

Telling it like it is. This is what we need- REAL CHANGE.

[crfranchises1]

What change? Higher taxes, bigger government, and a bunch of promises they can't keep.

[laleeloolelo]

"What change?"

Remember the 90s?

Prosperity, budget surplus, respected by foreign leaders.

Kind of like that only better, i hope (Heh he he).

[jessenicholas1]

and the signing of the bill of housing mortgages by Bill that got us in the credit mess we are in today. Look it up for your self, and please take some economics to understand. and by the way the budget has never had a surplus. maybe higher with bill but never a surplus.

[laleeloolelo]

"and the signing of the bill of housing mortgages by Bill that got us in the credit mess we are in today."

So how come this credit mess happens right now instead of then?

Could it be because at Bill's time as president Americans can afford to pay the mortgage?

And as for whether or not there's surplus, at least America isn't in debt to China in the 90s.

[blackgoldwarrior]

jessenicholas1, i think it's hilarious how republicans are always the first to insult a person's intelligence whenever they have a difference of opinion, when, statistically, democratic voters tend to be more highly educated (look it up). portraying clinton as the one responsible for the housing crisis is misleading. he singed the bill, but the banks and deregulation (championed by reps) is what took a well intentioned bill and corrupted it. i'm simply stating facts.

[joinalbin]

by the time bill clinton left office, the economy had a surplus, thats a fact. mccain could use pointers from clinton on how to handle the economy, although i doubt mccain would listen cause hes a tard.

[Bish512]

No war in Iraq, guaranteed healthcare, research for new reusable fuels instead of raping the earth of its natural resources, no more fiscal conservatives who for some reason can never improve our economy, and higher taxes for the very wealthy not the middle to low classes.

[bubadkitty]

PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

[shahzil07]

John McShit/Sarah Pisslin got PWNd...

[JerbyVids]

Biden won this hands down.

[prpqmnj]

Talk about a slap in the face to Palin and McCain... AWESOME

[Tochin]

McFAILIN

[Smokydoggg]

Thank you Biden, after Palin hammered her "maverick" bullcrap down our throats for most of the debate Biden finally lets it all out!!!

How is McCain a maverick? By following Bush's lead step by step? Yeah seeing as that's what drove this country straight to the ground if he keeps doing it it will make him, as palin put it, "VERY unpopular" so yeah I guess there is a way that McCain is a maverick, doing stubbornly what he wants to do without caring what the consequences are :)

[xprodigy323x]

this was the highlight of the debate

[Smokydoggg]

lol old barbie bitch thought that her pretty looks were going to get her through this debate...

WRONG we all saw biden eating you for breakfast then spitting you out and mopping the floor with you!!!!

[Smokydoggg]

YES!!!

MAVERICK HE IS DEFINATELY NOT!!!

so why the hell do some people still say that Palin won? Which debate were THEY watching? was it some alternate reality?????

It boggles the mind!!!!

[Smiss22]

This was so perfectly timed it's scary! He let Palin jam the whole McCain being a maverick crap down our throats throughout the debate to the point of it being redundant (like it wasn't already...) and right before the closing arguments : BOOM! The Maverick rant with no time for rebuttal by Palin.

2nd strongest moment for Biden of the debate after the choking up part.

[CherchezMoi]

He was amazing tonight!! She is SO out there......it scares me!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!

[Smokydoggg]

Palin's speech all felt like she was reading it straight from paper too, like it was all so preplanned, in the beggining she asked biden if she could call him joe and she never used it until that one chance she got... it was so obvious but the Republitard rednecks and Faux news still think she owned Biden LOL

[thereelghostbuster]

Finally! Someone finally walked it to the McCain camp over the "maverick" nonsense!

[littlefun22]

Pwnd. I gotta hand it to Joe. Compared to that talking, plastic Barbie Doll he was forced to debate up there, Joe came across as far more genuine.

Obama/Biden '08!

[songoku350]

Bitch

Slap

Biden owned the librarian from Alaska

[Bertsura]

Dwyane Wade approves.

[bitterseason13]

go biden!!!

[ohioanpirate]

fukken pwnd nub

[s23a]

OWNAGE!!!!!!

[nanajeebus]

oh shit nigga

[gooysda]

that was an iceburn on mccain

[buzzimu]

so who do you think is winning? i vote biden

[youngveeno]

for some reason people think that Palin won (???) its unreal. she clearly was just reciting the same tihngs she's been saying. you'd have to be a complete idiot to think that she won this or is qualified for vice-president.

[omar2000089]

only the drudge report has a poll saying she won......and the drudge report is independent....lol

[Smokydoggg]

Faux news says she's winning, but then again Fox news would say that if McCain was trailing by 49 states to 1
