JOE BIDEN and the silence of the GOP

The silenced majority · 09-06-08, 07:01 AM

When you view Government as the solution to everything & everyone's problems, it's easy to go out there and preach to people who believe the same thing.

Preach on Reverend Joe about how Government is going to be the magic pill, the cure-all & usher in an era of global peace!

Neither candidates want to talk about the issues. They know that if they do, America will see just how corrupt the 2 party system has been.

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr is known for his fabricating and plagiarism on more than one occasion. He was caught cheating in law school, he received an F but was allowed to take the exam again. He finished near the bottom of his class in law school and if you ask him he will tell you he finished at the top. The man is a habitual liar and he has the third most liberal voting record in the senate.

The preceeding text was all factual. I will be happy to post links backing up said facts.

1972 crash still haunts driver's family | delawareonline | The News Journal

Biden said on Wednesday that he accepted the Dunn family's word that alcohol was not a factor in the accident and has not mentioned alcohol since.

Having been in a major crash, I can tell you that the 'facts' you are given at the scene or soon after are not necessarily the facts. I was told the man who hit me head on reeked of alcohol at the scene - his BAC was zero (he was on drugs and passed out at the wheel). My guess is that Biden was told by police that the truck driver was suspected of drinking and was never told otherwise when this proved false. Biden says he has never pursued the facts around the case - my guess is that he was far too busy taking care of his surviving sons to do that.

Politizing this tragic accident is pretty disguising.

The same "them" Biden was referring to. The Republicans at the Convention.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know Biden was referring to democrats.

Good summary of Joe Biden's foreign policy judgement here: Biden Was Wrong On the Cold War

Quote:

Mrs. Palin's lack of mastery of national security issues is often contrasted with Mr. Obama's vice presidential pick, Joseph Biden Jr. Mr. Biden has served in the Senate since 1973, is currently chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and is often described as a "statesman."

In fact, decade after decade and on important issue after important issue, Mr. Biden's judgment has been deeply flawed.

... and much, much more...

Actually, you are wrong.

If the American people realize the Socialist/Marxist/Communist reality of Obama and Biden's plan they will vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin in numbers that will make your heads spin.

Good points!

Here is something for those who might doubt what you and the other patriots here have been saying.

Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism

Election '08: Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called "economic justice." He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code.

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.

It's the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we're launching this special educational series.

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama's positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.

In his latest memoir he shares that he'd like to "recast" the welfare net that FDR and LBJ cast while rolling back what he derisively calls the "winner-take-all" market economy that Ronald Reagan reignited (with record gains in living standards for all).

Obama also talks about "restoring fairness to the economy," code for soaking the "rich" — a segment of society he fails to understand that includes mom-and-pop businesses filing individual tax returns.

It's clear from a close reading of his two books that he's a firm believer in class envy. He assumes the economy is a fixed pie, whereby the successful only get rich at the expense of the poor.

Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old.

Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He's disguising the wealth transfers as "investments" — "to make America more competitive," he says, or "that give us a fighting chance," whatever that means.

Among his proposed "investments":

• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.

• "Free" college tuition.

• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).

• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").

• "Free" job training (even for criminals).

• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).

• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.

• More subsidized public housing.

• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."

• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.

His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't.

That's just for starters — first-term stuff.

Obama doesn't stop with socialized health care. He wants to socialize your entire human resources department — from payrolls to pensions. His social-microengineering even extends to mandating all employers provide seven paid sick days per year to salary and hourly workers alike.

You can see why Obama was ranked, hands-down, the most liberal member of the Senate by the National Journal. Some, including colleague and presidential challenger John McCain, think he's the most liberal member in Congress.

Actually, you are wrong. If the American people realize the Religious Right/anti-middle class/fascist nature of the McCain/Palin agenda, the will vote for Obama/Biden in numbers that would make Reagan jealous.
