I would call Joe Biden a "used car salesman" but, frankly, that would be an insult to used car salesmen.

Putting aside the style points that most of the pundits seem to be basing their judgments about who "won" the Biden-Palin debate upon, Joe Biden proves that he and the Democrats just don't get it. I heard the same tired themes over and over and over. Joe's answers basically boil down to this:
On any foreign policy issue - Take use-of-force (our strongest card) off the table immediately and negotiate with thugs and dictators, hoping they will play nice with us. Sorry Joe, Neville Chamberlain already tried this and failed miserably, perhaps dooming tens of millions in the process.
On any domestic issue - Use the federal government as a giant welfare system and raise taxes on working Americans to pay for it.
Sorry, Joe, I ain't buying the lemon you're selling. Unfortunately half of the voters are too stupid, too selfish or too ignorant to realize that the Founding Fathers did not set up the Federal Government to be Daddy's trust fund for the corrupt, inept and lazy -- well perhaps with the exception of Congress.
Forget style, Palin trounced Biden on the issues and always will. I could debate Joe Biden with a 1980's "Speak 'n Spell" and destroy him because he's just plain wrong about everything.
