Good Ol’ Slow Joe Biden putting his foot in his mouth again:

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Not only will the next administration have to deal with foreign affairs issues, Biden warned, but also with the current economic crisis.

“Gird your loins,” Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man….”

Pretty creepy that your own Vice President thinks that Barack Obama is “INEXPERIENCED” and not up to the task - just yet. Let’s open the door, Slow Joe, to every terrorist or terrorist nation in the world to now test a President Obama.

NOT too smart……But typical Joe Biden…….

Andrew Sullivan is bitchin’ and moanin’ that Arnold is NOT doing enough to defeat California’s Proposition 8 Protect Traditional Marriage Consitutional amendment.

He opposes it but hasn’t gone beyond his statement to Patrick Sammon: ….But he isn’t fighting against it. And he needs to.

Actually, Arnold is UNPOPULAR in California because of his failure to control the Democrat Legislature in spending California blind and California Republicans have no use for his post-partisan BS leadership style.

Schwarznenegger has spent $ millions in supporting Proposition 11, the Voters FIRST Act, a California redistricting initiative. The Governor needs GOP votes to pass this measure and doing anything for gay marriage will ABSOLUTELY sink Proposition 11.

Arnold may still cut some ads for Proposition 8, the Protect Traditional Marriage Consitutional Amendment but don’t count on alot. And, with Proposition 8 up in the polls who knows if Schwarzenegger will even do that?

Flap fully expects this video to disappear under some copyright infringement BS so enjoy it while you can.

Here is a transcript that the LEFT thought police cannot take down:

“He (McCain) made an interesting vice presidential choice.

I like the woods…I just don’t know if I would pull my vice president out of the woods randomly.

She came out again today. She was talking to a small town, she said that small towns, that’s the part of the country she really likes going to because that’s the pro-America part of the country.

You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly…[expletive] you.

I’ve never seen someone with a greater disparity between how cute they sound when they’re saying something and how terrible what they’re saying is.

Don’t ya know, Obama, by golly, he just is a terrorist? What? Oh, you know, he just, gosh, kills babies, you know.

I’m so over the idea that only small-town America is the heart and soul. Small-town America is fine, but it’s the same as cities. Cities are just a lot of towns piled on top of each other in one place.

They have this whole thing that somehow we can write off entire swaths of the country, that we are somehow…I get it. You know, New York City wasn’t good enough for [expletive] Osama bin Laden, it better be good enough for you.

I can’t take it anymore. After eight years of this divisiveness, we’re back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America.

I get it. I’m from New York. We have a lot of gay people. But homosexuals don’t have sodomy on Russian flags.”

Real class from John Stewart.

Flap does not watch him, Colbert or Comedy Central much in any case. But, this cannot do much for marketing his show in red states, now will it?

But, Flap is positive the Hollywood Left will give him points and another Academy Awards hosting gig.

The latest California Survey USA poll has the YES on California Proposition 8, Protect Traditional Marriage Constitutional amendment winning.

In a vote today, 10/17/08, on California’s Proposition 8 Ballot Initiative, which would change California’s constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, approximately half the state supports the measure, half the state opposes the measure, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted for KABC-TV Los Angeles, KPIX-TV San Francisco, KGTV-TV San Diego, and KFSN-TV Fresno. The exact findings are: ‘Yes’ (to change the law) 48%, ‘No’ (to leave the law alone) 45%. But: polling on ballot measures in general is an inexact science, and polling on homosexuality in general is a tricky business, so SurveyUSA urges all who examine these results to not put too fine a point on the 3 points that separate “Yes” and “No” today. In 3 SurveyUSA tracking polls over the past month, Proposition 8 has been fiercely fought, and effectively even, all 3 times. “No” nominally led by 5 points on 09/25/08. “Yes” nominally led by 5 points on 10/06/08. The movement from 10/06/08 to today is not necessarily statistically significant.

Here is the survey chart:

The exit question: Is there a Bradley effect on homosexual and gay marriage polling?

In other words, when asked survey questions are California voters reluctant to reveal their true opinions on the idea of traditional marriage whereas will vote their “TRUE” conscience once in the voting booth?

If this is the case, then California Proposition 8 may be winning by an even larger margin.

Stay tuned……

Flap missed this report when it first came out during the summer but is happy to report it now. The FLAP involves Seattle dentist, Fred Quarnstrom, who has resigned (or was NOT reappointed) to the Washington Dental Quality Assurance Commission (DQAC).

This has become a classic case study in how to not serve the public in a state professional regulatory board. Here is Dr. Quarnstrom’s resignation letter:

When it was apparent that Quarnstrom was NOT going to reappointed to another term on the DQAC, he unfairly and unprofessionally attacks the same board and colleagues over previously decided disciplinary cases. This is without regard to the dentists who were previously adjudicated in which Quarnstrom apparently did not agree with the DQAC board’s findings. A piece about Quarnstrom’s moans found a sympathetic airing here.

At least three patients have died after dental procedures in the last three years in Washington, and critics say some of the cases weren’t examined closely enough by the state’s dental disciplinary board.

The Washington Dental Quality Assurance Commission found no wrongdoing in all three cases.

“When it comes to death cases, the board sure doesn’t do well,” said Fred Quarnstrom, a Seattle dentist who recently resigned from the dental board. “I think they should go to a hearing. Why is it a secret?”

The handling of the three known cases raises questions about the consistency and thoroughness of the state’s review process, Quarnstrom said.

So, when you are NOT going to reappointed to a public regulatory board (even though you are an Eage Scout and put up yard signs during the Governor’s campaign) you go public and bash the very same board upon which you labored the previous four years. Real mature and professional Fred.

The exit questions are: Why didn’t Quarnstrom go to the press and make a major Flap when he was a member of the DQAC? Or, did Fred Quarnstrom do so and was so out of the mainstream of dental education and training with pre-conceived bias that he was either ignored or marginalized?

In any case, the public is better served without Quarnstrom on the Washington Dental Quality Assurance Commission.
