1.  I haven't come across those.
But then again, all the worst of the Hillary haters are in my shitfile, so I guess this shows how easy it is to move your hate from one object to another.

3. They need to get a clue
Biden couldn't be farther from the leisure class. He's middle class, like so many of us. No stocks, doesn't meet with lobbyists, took the train home to Delaware every night to be with his kids while they were young,one house. Doesn't sound like leisure class to me.

8. Biden made less $$$ last year than any of the other Dems running for prez.
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 02:55 PM by McCamy Taylor
Unless he has a rich wife and lots of property, he is poor by the McCain standard.

10. Biden's poor compared to 98 of his colleagues.
Yeah, I'm sure a guy who has a negative net worth, still mows his own lawn, and takes an Amtrak train ride to and from the Senate every day is SUCH an elitist.

People here. :eyes:

15. Biden is like 99th out of 100 Senators in terms of wealth...
It's such an invalid argument.

16. OK, so the orcs want to call government service "sucking on
the public teat". Fine, game on.

Cap'n Combover has been living off the tax players since he was conceived and he will to the end of his days. Daddy, an active duty officer, 23 years in the Navy, 58K disability pension (by the by, under the new Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay law, military retirees with disability payments are now entitled to full retirement pay. Use to be for every percentage of disability pay, a retiree lost that amount from regular retirement). So Combover will be pulling down 100K plus by 2014 when CRDP fully kicks in. Social Security, 22/23K; by the by again, senators don't pay into SS. Senators also get a retirement check from the "public teat".

Yeah, yeah, he earned it. OK, but then every other person who draws a salary or benefit from public funds also does. Or is this one of these "Only Republicans need apply" things?

20. Anyone who calls serving this country in a public role
"sucking on the public teat" is worse than a troll.

It's a variation on Reagan's "government is the enemy" attitude and it's one of the principal reasons this country is in its current mess.

18. You are out and out lying when you claim these are from Clinton supporters

You will note that the author of the first quote voted for Obama, not Clinton, BUT OBAMA, in the NC Primary.

Here is a check of another one of the quotes

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=6417414#6417450

Yep you guessed it. Didn't support Hillary either. So of the three quotes, one is a very new poster who was tombstoned (I will admit a probable Hillary supporter) and the other two were at least haters of Hillary and one of those was a voter for Obama. Shame on you.

In fact, I made no claim about who they're from. But I will now.

They were from the same whiney "progressive" types who love to whine about DLC this and corporate whore that but never do shit.

30. No kidding ...
Or your sig ...

I'm pretty far left in my politics on most things. My problem with the Clintons (and Obama and Biden and, and, and ...) has always been (and only been) that they're not really as far to the left as I am. But I know who butters my bread, and I know the key to left-thinking ideology is *work*, hard work, and I am continually irritated by so-called "progressives" who are more into complaining, pissing, and moaning about how unfair it all is than working. I'll work for my candidates as long as they are viable, and then I'll work for the candidate that most of my ideological brothers and sisters think is better, and I'll still work to push forward my beliefs, my agenda with that candidate. But I will not whine when not everyone agrees with me.

It's not about me.

*We* have an awesome ticket. I'm giddy. And I didn't vote for either of them.

You just keep doin' what you do. Again, :thumbsup:

26. You claimed they lost
that is a claim about who they were. I do apologize for not noticing your avitar but any fair reading of that post would have precluded them from being Obama supporters and you were flat out wrong in that.
