The Republican Party is going after Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden, with his own words. GOP.com has set up a gaffe clock counting the time until his next verbal blunder. In the past, Joe Biden has been known for making questionable comments and verbal mistakes. In 2006, Biden was criticized for some comments made about Indian-Americans working at 7-Elevens’s and Dunkin Donuts. Also, Twelve hours after being asked to be the Vice Presidential candidate, Joe Biden called Barack Obama “Barack America,” at their first appearance together, leading some to believe that he forgot Obama’s name. Biden made headlines again when he stated that Obama wanted to send two extra battalions to Afghanistan, when in fact, Obama called for two extra brigades. A brigade is composed of a varying number of battalions. GOP.com has made it clear that the Biden Gaffe Clock is not supported by any candidate.
I think this type of campaigning is a misuse of time and energy. Every politician makes verbal mistakes. Both sides need to stop attacking each other and focus on the issues.

I definately agree with you. It's time to listen to what the canadites want to do to help their fellow Americans in the position that they hold. Both parties or certain websites shouldn't be slamming duragatory comments at each other. I want to know what they want to do for me and other fellow Americans.
