Has anyone noticed the attacks on Biden?
He must be hitting a nerve. I noticed in the beginning the CONS would say he can't win to stop the conversation about him but now they bring up his name more and more. I was listening to laura Ingraham and she is trying her best to get her listeners to believe bush is smart that Biden. These people are soooo desperate. Go Biden! Keep on talking

2. Yes, I have noticed even OReilly is onto Biden. Here is my take
In the last few weeks Biden has made it known that he told the
President to face--not just some campaign gimmick--"If you attack
Iran without the permission of Congress, I will personally work
to have you impeached." I find it fascinating, none of the
attackers bring up the Impeachment Word, they have just suddenly
started attacking Biden. This threat is at the basis of their
attacks, I really do believe.

25. O'Reilly has attacked Biden two night in a row.
He thinks that it is a terrible thing that Biden called Bush a lier. He thinks that Bush being CALLED a lier, and nothing else, will hurt America's image abroad. :dunce:
:rofl:


He said that Biden doesn't understand how the NIA works and that Biden doesn't understand how to read intelligence. (But that Bush/Cheney do). :rofl:

(If you can stomach it, it's kind of educational to see what the right-wing idiots are saying.)

3. I've noticed
and as hard as it is to stomach at times, it IS a positive sign. It means that Biden is now considered a viable candidate and a threat.

8. He has always been a threat to them...
and the pundits have tried there best to change the subject when his name has been mentioned. In the beginning I though I would be for Hillary but I have been for Biden for a while now. I have been wondering after these debates, what these people are seeing when they keep trying to tell us who is the front runner.

Some of these other candidates are good but I see too many problems down the road that will let the right wingers off the hook. Biden can speak to their lies forcefully and clearly without all of this parsing of words because some of the others have to worry about any little minor things they say. The gop wants some of the others because they can keep the campaign talking about things that don't really matter...

12. Yeah, they haven't actually attacked Biden
They've just been dismissive of him, as if he doesn't matter.

I've often wondered about TV personalities - do they ever think that the person they're marginalizing could one day be the president? It has happened so many times in the past, but somehow they never learn.

29. The more someone tries to marginalize my arguments, the more
I know I'm being effective. They simply can't afford to ignore Biden any longer.

7. Biden mentioned the need to look at Pakistan -- a day or two BEFORE the
crisis occurred. Musharraf called Biden - BEFORE Bush called Musharraf. Negroponte - Bush's own Deputy Sec of State, called Biden for input. Biden said Iran was NOT a nuclear threat at this time, even going so far as to estimate they wouldn't be nuclear ready for maybe four, more probably ten years, BEFORE the NIE was released.

Biden is the expert on foreign affairs and understands what is going on in the regions around the globe. He has established dialogue with world leaders and has worked WITH them to achieve desired results. Bush hasn't. No wonder the CONS are feeling threatened. They don't have anyone CLOSE in their group of candidates who have the chops. They don't want to have to face him in the GE.

I'd be desperate too.

And Biden WILL keep on talking - and telling us the truth -- you can count on it! :7

is what dreams are made of. I can visualize it and it is very satisfying.

33. I am hoping the Iowans can see this...
as well those in New Hampshire, by the time the primaries hit my state they have usually chosen the candidate. As it looks now my vote won't be counted any how.

14. I attack Biden all the time
Primarily because of the abortion of a bankruptcy bill. I also make fun of his hair, because I am petty.

But that bankruptcy bill was cruelty incarnate. I think the guy is corrupt.

16. I didn't think the Amish had computers?
At any rate...he, for the 400th time, voted for the BK bill for one reason and one reason only. So mothers, with children, could get their child support payments, and alimony, before any other creditor, when a deadbeat dad files for BK. Go look it up.

18. corrupt is going to far
a guy of Biden's stature could be raking it in big time if he wanted, but he's not. He's near the bottom of the list of congressmens' net worth.

20. why don't you . . .
have the top of your head cut off TWICE for life-threatening surgeries and show me how your hair looks.


Below are the most recent relevant group ratings. - http://www.vote-smart.org

2006 Senator Biden supported the interests of the NARAL Pro-Choice America 100 percent in 2006.

2006 Senator Biden supported the interests of the Planned Parenthood 100 percent in 2006.

2005-2006 Senator Biden supported the interests of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association 93 percent in 2005-2006.

2005 Senator Biden supported the interests of the NARAL Pro-Choice America 100 percent in 2005.

2004 Senator Biden supported the interests of the NARAL Pro-Choice America 100 percent in 2004.


Corrupt?
1) Second poorest Senator.
2) Known for speaking out AGAINST the establishment, status quo.
3) Compare him to the other candidates when it comes to accepting money from lobbyists and corporations.


I don't attack other candidates all the time.

24. If Biden were corrupt, he'd be rich by now.
He's been in the Senate since 1972 and he's 99th out of 100 in net worth. Most use their Senate seats to acquire wealth, among other things, because they have access to all that insider stuff.

Heck, Biden doesn't even own any stock!

But, they will pull out all of the stops, all of which can be beat right back into the dark holes they dig them up from.

34. I believe that is what they are working or now...
or they will try to set up something because they are afraid he will be the candidate and that Dems will begin to realize that at this time in history he is the best one for the job.

31. And you know what else...
they could come out and say 'Joe Biden-father of 2 headed baby from the planet Boron' and he'd still win, LOL...democrats are VERY thirsty for a democratic presidency...democrats out number republicans by 17 million....Ind's-42 million, but I'd bet even then, we'd still get half of those....and I don't think all of the republicans will vote their party line this time either.

32. He's the only one in the primary race acting like a president rather than a candidate.
Héll the actual president acts like a candidate too, for that matter.
