lol “we’re now down to pre-surge numbers in violence” well, then doesn’t that mean that the numbers are the same as before the surge? so what good was the surge? lol she’s so nervous she’s gaffed a lot of rehearsed lines ---

> [@Meltdown](#): > > She has a very diverse family? What does that mean? Well, it was a same sex question, so I’m guessing she’s a bi-curious swinger. ---

But Barack has admitted that the surge worked, right? Pause. I think Sarah Palin is cracking a bit. ---

> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > Whoa, daddy. “I do not support gay marriage, and neither does Obama.” That doesn’t sound very good, Joe. It almost sounds like you and Palin are on the same side. Er, absolutely not. The question was about rights for same-sex couples. Biden said very clearly that he supported equal rights for same-sex couples, no question. Palin’s response was along the lines of, “well, kind of, but not if I feel like it starts to encroach upon the sanctity of ‘marriage.’ But, some of my best friends are diverse, and I’m tolerant.” Regardless of the fact that Biden might not support same-sex marriage, they clearly have dramatically different opinions on the issue. ---
