Thread: Joe Biden

^Quite a stretch to construe a metaphor used to talk about Wall Street regulation to have a coded racial meaning even for the brainwashed Fox legions.

NO stretch - the folks there at the Biden event were 49% Black. He was pandering to them big-time. Drop that Kool-Aid cup, Bert.

btw, Biden Campaigning In Virginia: 'We Can Win North Carolina!

The man is loony-tunes...Romney chose the smartest guy in the House.
Obama chose the dumbest guy in the Senate.

this week's most amusing sign of republican desperation:

sarah palin, john mccain and various right wing media outlets are saying that obama should drop biden and draft hillary...because biden is bad for the ticket.

so let me see if i've got this right....the republicans expect people to believe that the democrats should drop biden and draft hillary because it would make for a stronger ticket? they really expect people to believe that republicans want a stronger democratic ticket?



if you'll remember back a few months, other republicans were saying essentially the same thing....and of course knowledgeable people just raised an eyebrow and laughed at the rubes who were buying this fantasy.


the cold hard facts are that biden connects with voters in OH, PA, MI, and IA in ways that romney never will.

while the right wing 'tards will echo what they read in the extreme corners of the blogosphere, biden isn't going anywhere.

Sure...

'Slavery is no joke, Joe': America's first black governor becomes most senior Democrat to attack Biden for race-baiting

• Douglas Wilder, governor of Virginia from 1990 - 1994, said vice-president's remarks 'were appeals to race'
• Biden told an audience made up of black supporters earlier this week that Romney would put 'y'all back in chains' with financial deregulation plans

Biden is really an embarrassment.
Wilder said:

you can’t continue to make gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and believe that it’s going to be supportive of what you and the president are both trying to do’.

No kidding, Doug. Shillary was smart to stay away from talk of being VP. That Dem ticket is plagued by incompetence and foolishness.

And you know why. Anyone standing next to Biden looks like a genius.

The Obama Campaign’s Strategic Genius
by Randy Shaw‚ Aug. 14‚ 2012

Calling Romney a felon and a murderer is the work of a genius.

Obama's genius for changing the subject

March 6, 2012 .

See what I mean? People think he's a genius. Changing the subject requires a genius. Really? Most people are stuck talking about the morning's weather? We must all be geniuses. Thank you Barack Obama for setting the bar low enough for all of us to be considered geniuses.

Obama's Genius Move to Get Out the Hispanic Vote

Simple pandering is now considered "genius".




From the video: "And that's the best shot he (Obama) has."

The best shot Obama has to win is to paint Romney as a rich guy who doesn't care? To be in that position as an incumbent president must require a person to be a...Genius!

Heh...Obama buries Mad Joe. No swing states for him!

"The Obama campaign will send Joe Biden to three safe blue states next week, a move indicating the campaign may fear the effect of the vice president's increasingly frequent gaffes. Last week, in the critical swing state of Virgina, whose 13 electoral votes President Barack Obama must secure to win reelection, Biden was a headline-making machine. In Danville, a city with a past history of racial strife, Biden told a half-black audience that Republicans were “gonna put y’all back in chains.” He also forgot that he was in Virginia, rejoicing, "We can win North Carolina again." He mocked a sign-language interpreter, and forgot what century he was in."

Best put him in deep-freeze 'till the election is over 'cause you know he's gonna say something real stupid again soon.

So they are sending Joe Biden to Tampa during the Republican Convention. You could call it childish and amateurish but President Obama has been in office for over three years now. What it is is Obama being himself. It is the work of a common street agitator. Disrupt for the sake of disruption. Distract for the sake of distraction. Common street agitator tactics.

the fact that he would resort to common street agitator tactics is further proof that President Obama has no respect for the office he holds and for the nation's institutions overall.

The Tea Party? I wouldn't know who pioneered these, as you call them, street agitator tactics- but there always seems to be a Romnibus parked prominently near Democrat events & conventions, with a gaggle of the faithful holding their (generally misspelt) placards. It is hardly a partisan critique'.

sending the VP to address supporters in a highly valuable electoral state is considered "street agitator tactics"?

it's called politics. it's a rough and tumble 'game'. if one is too delicate for it, perhaps that person should find another hobby.....perhaps collecting star wars memorabilia.

Ya, like the Dems breaking protocol and sending the Biden gaffebus to Tampa during the RNC convention. No class, just like the current FLOTUS who is guest editor of this:

Borking. To 'bork' someone.


"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, school children could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens of whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are at the heart of our democracy." - Edward Kennedy on the floor of the Senate 1987


Sen. Howell Heflin of Alabama vaguely told constituents that Judge Bork had a "strange lifestyle."

Ever since then, to bork has come to mean "to pull out all the stops in opposition to a presidential nominee." In 1991, black feminist Florence Kennedy told a National Organization for Women conference that Clarence Thomas had to be defeated: "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically. . . . This little creep, where did he come from?"

In his book, Battle for Justice: How the Bork Nomination Shook America, Boston Globe reporter Ethan Bronner wrote the anti-Bork coalition prepared and distributed audio and video clips called "actualities" and "video news releases" . These were items and interviews about Bork always slanted against him which radio and television stations could play as news without acknowledging it came from Bork enemies.

William Safire in a NYT editorial identifies them: "The charge was true: Judge Bork had been strung up without fair process, savaged by the A.C.L.U., A.F.L.-C.I.O., N.A.A.C.P., NOW power house operating out of a Democratic ''war room'' in the Senate chamber. Campaign strategy was set, mailings were made, opinion polls publicized, senators lobbied, the media manipulated to feed the bandwagon psychology."

Looks like Mad Joe might not be going to Tampa after all. What with the hurricane and all, someone pulled the plug (pun intended) on Plugs!

Ace of Spades HQ

“This man has courage in his soul, compassion in his heart and a spine of steel,” - Joe Biden speaking of President barack Obama, DNC convention, August 6, 2012.






There's your spine of steel. The President of the United States bowing to a Saudi king.




He does it again to the emperor of Japan so there's no mistaking his intentions to bow low. Our president bows low. Who would have ever thought we would see the day?


SPINE OF STEEL!




How can anyone who bows low convey a spine of steel? Does the degree of Joe Biden's insight into those around him really qualified him to be VP? Do we need this man negotiating on our behalf?

Biden on Cheerleaders: 'The Stuff They Do on Hardwood Blows My Mind




Vice President Joe Biden at first forgot to mention cheerleaders at a recent visit to Newport High School in Newport, N.H, though some were quick to remind him. "Biden left the cheerleaders off the list but was quickly reminded by the group of girls."

Responded Biden, "They are amazing. You think I'm joking. You think I'm joking. They're almost all gymnasts. The stuff they do on hardwood, it absolutely blows my mind, thinking, you know, they're up there without a net. You know?"
He went on, "It's so great to see you guys. I thought I'd get to play a little bit but I guess not," holding a football.

However, after spotting a nearby member of the football team, the Vice President did get to play at least one down before wrapping up his brief stop.
"Looks like an end over there," said Biden, before making a quick pass his way.

Heh, bet it's been some time since 'ol Joe had any 'wood'

Heh...Mad Joe says it's fair to attack Romney with outdated and false information!

Not long after Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told seniors at Century Village of Boca Raton they could be socked with $6,300 a year in higher Medicare costs under Mitt Romney, Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged the figure is based on an analysis of an outdated plan.

But Biden argued it’s fair for Democrats to keep using the number, anyway.
U.S. Rep. Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, was one of the speakers who took the stage before Biden on Friday at the heavily Democratic condo community.
“We know that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan unapologetically support an extreme budget plan that would end Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher program, shred the health care safety net that exists for our seniors and increase their premiums, your premiums, by more than $6,300 a year. That is unacceptable,” Wasserman Schultz told the senior-dominated crowd of about 800.

The $6,300 figure Wasserman Schultz cited is based on an old version of Ryan’s plan. And that plan was for people who are now 54 and younger, so her reference to “your premiums” wouldn’t apply to most of the audience at Century Village.

When Biden spoke, he noted the $6,300 or $6,400 figure that Wasserman Schultz and other Democrats frequently repeat is based on a Congressional Budget Office analysis of Ryan’s 2011 plan, not the revised version Ryan proposed and the GOP-controlled House approved this year. CBO hasn’t analyzed the new plan’s impact on beneficiaries.

“The press is out there, and these are good women and men. … They say that we’re being a little unfair,” Biden said.

“CBO said the plan, the first plan that the press somehow thinks it’s unfair for us to talk about, would raise the cost for every senior by $6,400 a year. … Well the press accurately points out, they accurately say, ‘You know what, they changed that plan, so why do you keep bringing it up?’ ” Biden said.

“Well the reason I bring it up, I think it’s fair to bring it up. If Congressman Ryan felt so strongly about insisting that this plan become law and if Gov. Romney said he would have signed it into law, which he did, if he were president, then it goes to their motive. It goes to who you believe,” Biden said.

Help to buy Joe a Trans Am:

Buy Vice President Biden a TransAm | Indiegogo

It's going viral: reddit, jalopnik, blast-o-rama and yahoo news have picked it up so far amongst others. Pretty funny.

The original idea came from this Onion post Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
and proceeds will go to these charities Biden Breast Health Initiative, Doctors Without Borders, the Wounded Warrior Project and GLAAD.

Well, we now know that Mad Joe lost it big-time in his debate with Paul Ryan. While Ryan kept his cool, Biden was over the top in his disrespect for Ryan. A very sad affair.

Noted where The Biden laugh, a lot like the Joker’s death chuckle?

Seems like a good argument to this unbiased poster!

Poor little Ryan doesn't like being laughed at.
Funny as fuck the fuss they'r making about this.
Boo hooo, daddy, he laughed at me .. MWHAAAAAAAA.
