Biden Labels McCain Attacks As "Republican Garbage"

[BeyondGeography]

(MEDIA, PA.) - Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden says he is "sick and tired of this Republican garbage."

Biden lashed out angrily at John McCain on several points this evening in Pennsylvania, including accusations that Obama and Democrats do not support the military.

Biden, in an attempt to show McCain as contradictory in his support of veterans, pointed to McCain's refusal to vote for a new military G.I. Bill, proposed by Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., and passed in the spring.

"George Bush initially opposed it, John McCain stood with him and he called Jim Webb's effort, quote, too generous. Ladies and gentlemen, if John McCain had his way on that G.I. Bill, those military personnel who served two tours in Iraq or Afghanistan would not qualify for the same benefits that anyone in the ‘regular Army or Marine corps’ did.”

“Ask yourself the question, who supports our troops? Who supports those National Guard personnel? Who supports those reservists who make up 40 percent of the people?” asked Biden, and turned to Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., in the crowd.

“I don't have to tell you that, Governor. You see them dispatched every day from your state, and you're there like I am when that flag-draped coffin comes home for some.”

As he speech went on, Biden’s tone turned from critical to one of disgust.

“I am sick and tired of this Republican garbage,” Biden said to applause from the crowd of 3,000 supporters. “I am sick and tired of being told that we don't care.”

While the McCain campaign called Biden’s comments “absurd”, a McCain campaign aide speaking on background, when asked if Biden was accurate in saying that McCain had called the G.I. Bill ‘too generous’, said "I don't know."...

3. They don't know McAnus' record, he doesn't know his own record, and

they really don't care - Biden is so right to call it GARBAGE. McAnus can't remember his votes, his stance on issues, how many homes he owns, the difference between insurgents and al Qaeda, the difference between Sunni and Shiite, the difference between 'safe' and 'protected by body armor, guards, and helicopter gunships'
What a loser.

10. I'm here to say flat out that I've been loving Biden ever since he hit the campaign trail

He's awesome imo. I'm not saying he doesn't occasionally put his foot in his mouth but he says so many things that are just spot on.
