By finding one “error” you've managed to ignore the critical point Joe Biden made. Dick Cheney is probably the most dangerous Vice President in history. Sarah Palin saying she agrees with Cheney's views on expansion of the vice president's powers – scares the hell out of people.

2. He did think that he is smarter than most; he misquoted more than a dozen times. Check out the bills voted YES or NO by different senators. Unbiased media would have corrected Joe Biden.

3. I gave him an A for acting skill “Sat at the table..”. That's interesting to me that he could stoop so low.

I am disappointed.

Article 1 assigns tie breaking voting rights as President of the Senate…

Stop the diatribe of misinformation….

This is my real problem with Republicans now-a-days. You are anti-intellectual. Gone are the days of Buckley, O'Rourke and Will. Now we are left with a bunch of guys and gals that spew talking points instead of thoughts.

After watching that debate last night and listening to the radio comments from conservatives on the way in this morning I have decided who the Republican base is. They are the same people that place “My Kid can Beat Up you Honor Student” bumper stickers on their car.

Hey look if you want to be part of the party of folksy charm that makes fun of people that are educated, that is cool. Just realize which side you are on.

FAIL.

“The idea he (CHENEY) doesn’t realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States (IT DOES), that’s the Executive Branch (ARTICLE 1 IS LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, HE CITED THE WRONG ARTICLE). He works in the Executive Branch (I am not denying this fact). He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.”

He was FOLLOWING her question, but he was ARGUING that the interpretation that the VP Cheney should have more legislative power is flawd by citing the wrong Article and asserting that article places the VP in the executive Branch. He meant to say. He meant to say, Article 2 places the VP in the Executive Branch, as is historically accepted and the VP's very limited and ceremonial legislative powers are derived from Article 1.

Biden reigned her in citing the specific limitations set for in ARTICLE 1.

You're right when you say it's not about executive powers. It's about the only legislative power the VP has, which is why it's an executive position. Once again, he is talking about Palins quote:

“I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate”

No you don't Sarah, ARTICLE 1 says you're in the executive branch because all you get to do is cast a tie breaking vote. Not shape policy with the senate.

You're taking a comment out of context to make it something else.

Also it is Article 1, not Amendment 1.

Palin's quote:

“no. Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that's not only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very seriously also. I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are”

Amendment 1 gives no wiggle room. It gives a VERY clear definition that you yourself have posted and commented on. Palin is suggesting it allows for more authority in the legislative branch then it does. It limits the legislative authority of the VP to 1 vote in the senate in the event of the tie. Thats the only power the VP has in the legislative branch.

So if you want to remain objective and not sound biast, you should take this post down, or at least edit it to show Palin's statement that she thinks she should have more power if she so chooses.

Cheney: I am not in the executive branch of the presidential administration because the consitution grants me legislative power. Therefore my department is not executive.

Palin: I agree with Cheney, but the consititution can be further interpreted to grant me more power then cheney.

Biden: Horse shit. The VP is in the executive branch because the first admendment CLEARLY defines the ONLY role in the legislative branch the VP is given; cast a vote in the event of a tie. There is no room for interpretation. That's the only legislative power the VP has. Because of this amendment, the VP is in the executive branch.

“The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote”

From the legislative standpoint. He makes it very clear what he is refering to, and you're choosing to ignore that for the purpose of applying is specific reference to an imaginary generalized statement.

He believes the the VP is an executive position, not legislative. The legislative powers of a VP are stated in that amendment explicitly. Cheney believes he is not part of the executive branch, that he is a legislative body so not subject to the same rules as executive authorities are. This is the point Biden is making here and you're misleading people by not premising the entire context of that part of the speech.

This is the question to which Biden is responding. His answer is clearly accurate to that question. I think you need to remove this from your website because your post has nothingto do with the context of the question asked.

“And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.”

Nowhere does he state anything remotely close to what you're implying. He says he'sthere to support the President however he can. The only thing the constitution lays out is regarding the legislative branch and his powers with the senate; which is does say explicitly.

So again, this is a terribly misrepresentative post, and should be taken down.
