How about the fact the he really thought the guy was drinking despite the investigation.

How many stories have you heard of where the parties involved didnt agree with police findings.

There's no story here, just a tragedy.
Then why did he bring it up if he wasnt looking for sympathy?

is good to see despite the fact that he didn't lie and just had a differance of opinion?

Why are you intent on spreading lies to win an election?

I support McCain/Palin all the way and don't care much for Bidens' ideology. But this is a bit unsensitive to a man that lost his family. IMO, this is in a non issue in the world of politics and should not be spun or used to smear him as a man.

Well, not to pick nits, but another one of those fab dems, John Edwards told a story about his dead son to a bunch of people...always ending with "this is the first time I've ever told anyone this story....it's been too painful". He did this to garner sympathy and burnish his personal "story".

People do all kinds of odd things in politics. If Biden said the driver was drunk and the driver was not drunk, and he said it in a public forum....my guess is that he was doing just as Johnny Edwards did.

Both stories are very sad. That these men embellished them is very telling.

Palin had a down syndromed baby and you losers accused her of passing off her grandson as her own. Doesn't really give you guys a whole lot of room to wriggle, now does it?

Thank you, Stardust.

I'm a sm*rt*ss, but to be so cold about someone's family dying is just...a bit too far.

It's VERY obvious he thinks the man was drinking, and no, police findings are not always 100% accurate on these things, and certainly weren't three and a half decades ago.

If he would lie about this, what else would he lie about.

Biden is a man of low character, nuff set because people get their panties all bent when you bring up his poor character.
Oh, yeah?

Why is the GOP keeping Palin sequestered from both the public and the press? What are they afraid of?

Which "losers"?

Care to address the "losers" that did this directly?

Which people on this thread accused Palin of saying Trig is her son but he's actually her grandson?
