Credit Card Joe: Helping It All To “Slip Away”
By Uppity Woman on August 24, 2008 at 2:19 PM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Democratic Nomination, Joe Biden
Well looky here. We have a genuine The Real Joe Biden site all fresh and clean….and articulate….and all ready to show you how “his heart and values are firmly rooted in the middle class“.
Speaking of “change,” Joe is the guy who pushed really hard over that bankruptcy reform that keeps poor bankrupt bastards on the hook for life to their creditors, unless they are millionaires. How’s that for, to use Joe’s own words today, “your dream slipping away”? Now why would sweet, lovable “my kitchen table is like your kitchen table” Joe be so hepped up about that? Let’s just call it change you can REALLY believe happened.
Read the rest ->
Well it seems that around some parts, Joe is called “Credit Card Joe,” since he is in the pocket of Delaware’s major credit card company, MBNA.
In today’s repost of an article he wrote for American Spectator in 1998, Byron York provides a detailed profile of Joe Biden, “The Senator from MBNA,” the “giant credit-card company based in his home state” of Delaware that was bought up by Bank of America in 2006.
Be sure to read York’s article, but to be brief, as described by NNDB.com, Biden’s record in regards to credit card company MBNA is enlightening, to say the least:
Over his long career in politics, Biden’s biggest financial supporter has been the giant credit card company MBNA, which was also one of George W. Bush’s biggest donors in 2000 and 2004. His son, Hunter Biden, was hired as a management trainee at MBNA straight out of law school, and was quickly promoted to executive vice president. The younger Biden has since left MBNA to establish his own lawyer-and-lobbying firm, but still receives a $100,000 per year consulting fee from the bank, which has since been swallowed by Bank of America. In 2006, Hunter Biden was appointed by President Bush to a five-year term on the Amtrak Reform Board.
OpenSecrets reports for campaign years 1998 through 2004 alone, MBNA was indeed Biden’s top contributor—$214,050. In 2006, MBNA contributed contributed $80,625; in this campaign cycle, for 2008, Bank of America has contributed $58,000 and MBNA Corp, $56,625. More on Biden’s lobbyist cash here.
As is just about everyone else in internetdom, OpenSecrets posted its own article today about “The Money Behind Joe Biden. ”
Then, on the little matter of the proposed bankruptcy bill—for which, by the way, Joe Biden has consistently voted in favor—on March 10, 2005, Obama cheerleader Arianna Huffington wrote an opinion piece at Salon:
So what does the bill do? It makes it harder for average people to file for bankruptcy protection; it makes it easier for landlords to evict a bankrupt tenant; it endangers child-support payments by giving a wider array of creditors a shot at post-bankruptcy income; it allows millionaires to shield an unlimited amount of equity in homes and asset-protection trusts; it makes it more difficult for small businesses to reorganize while opening new loopholes for the Enrons of the world; it allows creditors to provide misleading information; and it does nothing to rein in lending abuses….
Joe Biden gave a great speech the other day, but the truth is Joe was front and center helping to ensure that one of the most Anti-Middle-Class pieces of legislation in history got passed. So much for his “kitchen table” being just like yours. And so much for his concern that things are “slipping away” from the middle class.
But MBNA certainly is thrilled.

Could it be that Obama knows the POTUS isn’t his this year and selecting Biden as a running mate allows him to deflect a defeat to him since a majority won’t settle on it being the fault of Hillary?
It isn’t Obama’s this year nor the years to come. Obama will never be ready.
Corporate owned Democrats-Change we can keep counting on from Obama and the New Democrats–great, just great..How hypocritical.
PUMA
The new democrats make me sick.
I feel good about being a new independent.
If you want to be enlightened then you MUST lighten up– fuck Obama. LOL!
I wonder how much the Democratic party is going to shrink after this election (and because of the way the DNC has trashed democracy). I shall be changing my poitical affiliation to Independent after this election and hope that many who feel as disenfranchised as I do, will do the same.
I want no part of this ‘party of convenience’, one which feels no compunction about changing the rules if it helps their guy. Obama must be made to play by the same rules as the rest of us. He’s no better than us and he’s worse than most.
But but I thought he would connect with “blue collar” people.
I heard democrat one after another say that.
Though I did not dislike Biden.
I never thought of him as a Man of the People. He’s a basic northeastern corporate democrat.
Biden calling obama clean and articulate — not racial according to Clyburn today.
Bill Clinton saying obama’s Iraq claims are a fairy tale - racial.
Are these people delusional?
McCain and anyone he runs with in 08.
Amen!
What would anyone who can only plagiarize know about articulate and clean when he can only repeat what he has heard or seen and not experienced?
I know that’s right…I was so pissed about that I wanted to scream. Not a damn thing racial about Bill’s remark.
Along with John Edwards..both in bed with the bankers.
whores
I thought his plaything was a videographer. A banker too? How talented.
uh um uh … I didn’t realize that reile was a uh um uh teller ….

Weakest Democratic ticket I’ve ever seen. Glad I decided to vote for McCain. I just love Cindy!
Great to be able to breathe the fresh air.
I think Cindy’s an airhead, myself, but she’s not running for office. I think Michelle Obama looks like a good looking drag queen, but she’s not running, either.
I could give a shit who the two candidates are married to, unless they were married to Barney Frank–now THERE would be a smart spouse! And something to talk about, too!!!
I also realize part of Cindy’s spaciness is because she had a stroke and her short term memory is a bit fried. All that substance abuse probably didn’t help her much, either.
I’m not thrilled with Johnny, either. He’s no “Woo Hoo” candidate, he’s simply way less offensive than the Empty Suit with the deck of race cards. He’s got faults, and he’s got policies I don’t like. However, what he does have is proven JUDGMENT and YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. A Democratic Congress can keep him in check.
A Democratic Congress will be unable to check Obama; they’ll be too busy shoving their noses up his ass.
The nation will be served by the tension between the Executive Branch and a legislature that is, if not veto-proof, close to it. Compromise will be mandated, and that’s probably a good thing.
Hey what about Biden’s state and son being involved in Sinclair’s arrest after the press conference.
Sorry I know Im beating a dead horse probably, but everytime I hear Biden’s name I go???? For when the story of Sinclair’s arrest first broke I didnt get the connection. Now I wonder.
Tis better to beat a dead horse than to sit astride a jackass that brays night and day,
perhaps giving Biden the VP slot was payback for his son shutting up Sinclair…think about it.
I have heard that before too.
Even in Gallup tracking, almost even in electoral map excluding tossups.
I personally would not have done the ‘passed over’ ad; Obama needs to be attacked on BAIPA, Ayers and Rezko in MI, OH and PA.
Obama is his worst enemy.
The RCP electoral map, that is. Pollster.com, which seems to be a favorite poll site for Obamanolaters, has it 260-176, with polls going back to 2007…
I am starting a new email and online campaign to reach out to the American voter to inform the importance of your vote in the upcoming Presidential election. I will include links to youtube to verify comments, links that will let you hear the candidates in their own words on their stance on the issues and their plan for America. Please take a few minutes to view and listen to the links provided .
I would ask others who recieve this to pass it on so it will continue it’s journey into the households of the American people, the American voter .Please forward to churches, schools,businesses, military, newspapers,family and friends. Create your own and do the same to join in this massive effort to bring truth and awareness to every voter and educate them on the candidates running for this very important job as the next President of the United States of America.
Be informed, do not take this lightly, research the candidates with an open mind and heart, get educated as to the complete differences of the two candidates : John McCain, the Republican nominee and Barack Hussein Obama, the Democrat nominee.
Words could never express how intensely important each and every vote will be.
The outcome of this election can change the face of America as we know it forever.
Depending upon your choice will either welcome this change or reject it .
We are living in very dangerous times under the unrelenting dark cloud of Islamic terrorism.
We were attacked by this faceless evil force on 9-11-01. They were not finished, their mission of Jihad is not completed, they will return .
Many will say President Bush is a bad president, I disagree with that statement, allow me to explain :
I ask you a few questions.
Was it wrong for our President to send our military to lands faraway where Islamic terrorism is born, raised and thrives on the evil and barbaric religion of Islam ?
Was it wrong to rid the Iraqi people and the world from the evil dictatorship of Saddam Hussein ?
Was it wrong for our President to do everything and anything he possibly could to prevent another vicious murderous attack on American soil ?
President Bush has been a fierce, strong and committed leader in the face of terror. He cared and loved America with a passion from within, far greater than his own self.
Risking his legacy and reputation and the meaningless poll numbers that display how unliked he is,he took the Oath of Office and placed our country first instead of self. He loves America and his job was not to win gold stars or walk across the stage and have adoring fans worship him. This is a Presidential election not Star search, we are electing a person who understands the Constitution and the dangerous times we live in, we are not electing somebody thinks his main job is to be adored and liked by every country in the world. This is an AMERICAN election, the world gets no vote. They have no say, the American people are the ones making the choice by their vote.
Remembering 9-11-01

The Democrat Party is weak on National defence, history proves that . They prefer to ignore the problem of terror threats, pretending it is not a part of our reality. Wishing it away does not keep us safe. Bill Clinton was in the White House during the years when the terrorist were planning their vicious attack, had our National Security been on his table,9-11-01 could very well have been prevented. Maybe an attack against our country and revenge is not important to you personally but many American’s are concerned and refuse to cowar to these terrorist and do want a swift and violent revenge.
The Republican party believes in a strong military to defend our country and American interest elsewhere. If we are attacked, we will follow the evil doers to the ends of the earth and make them pay for every American life that was taken and we will make it quite clear ‘Don’t mess with the US’ .

The Democrats will never defend our country, they will accept defeat by waving the white flag . If America is attacked just once under their rule, WE ARE SCREWED.
The NON RESPONSE will put out the welcome mat, even roll out the red carpet for the Jihadists to be a 24/7 nightmare on our soil , Is this the response you prefer America to give ? Or would you prefer for a strong leader who will never cowar, will never wave the white flag of defeat, who would selfishly lay down his life and put country first ? What is your decision ?
Look at the cities with heavily Democratic controlled governments. Look at Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Los Angeles…………..Look at the peril and the plight of those cities, the poor, the violent crimes, the welfare rolls . Why is that ? Because the Democrats raise city taxes, they are weak on crime, they are soft on punishment and they seem to believe that criminals, murderers and pedophiles and illegal aliens have a constitutional right to roam our streets in spite of crimimal backgrounds of violent crime..
Think and research the candidates before you enter that booth to vote on Election Day. Do not vote for any other reason than for what is best for our country, we are not electing a star who might make you feel good, this job is important, the highest in the land, a job that should be respected and honored by somebody who truely knows what is about to be an American who loves our country and will do everything and anything in his power to keep us safe and reply right back if needed. Vote John McCain on Election 2008.
Thank You, Barbara O’D
God Bless America
A person after my own heart. “Dangerous Times” indeed. You can’t make theis shit up about the presumptuous nominee.
What exactly has Bush done to solve the problems you’ve mentioned? I agree w you on many points except I don’t see what Bush has done to solve them.
Personally I think he is one of the worst Presidents we’ve ever had.
“one of the?” No one comes close in modern times.
At least Warren G. Harding (a biracial president, BTW–though that was kept hush-hush) liked to drink, smoke and gamble. He was corrupt as hell, but he had fun.
A corrupt moralizer is plainly worse. Bush is the worst President ever, but if we elect The Messiah, he’ll make Bush look competent–and THAT’s scary.
Barbara O Barbara, where do I start? Let’s me just do one. Was it wrong to rid the Iraqi people and the world from the evil dictatorship of Saddam Hussein No, but did Bush have to tear Iraq and its people to pieces to do it while losing 4000 plus US lives?
I just don’t happen to think he (Saddam) should have gone before the Taliban, or those pigs in saudi arabia. Or Hamas. Or the pigs in pakistan who set women on fire for sport. I think we focused on the wrong guy if we were serious about getting rid of raw evil in the order of rawness.
It just dawned on me that I mentioned people who ensdorse Barack Obama. Very scary.
UP, it’s kinda hard if ya live in that hood to endorse John McCain with Joe Lieberman glued to his butt.
Liebermann would be fine with getting rid of most of the aforementioned pigs,
which isn’t really fair to pigs by the way.
I’m no Liebermann fan, but I don’t appreciate the Micky Mouse way that we have handled these anti-American terrorists either.
I do agree that Obama must be defeated.
Was it wrong for our President to send our military to lands faraway where Islamic terrorism is born, raised and thrives on the evil and barbaric religion of Islam ?
Was it wrong to rid the Iraqi people and the world from the evil dictatorship of Saddam Hussein ?
Barbara, I was with you until these comments.
Yes, George Bush was wrong to preemptively strike Iraq. We can remain strong without bombing countries unprovoked. Studies have shown that our attack has only increased Al Queda recruitment and Taliban resurgence in Afhganistan. Iraq did not have anything to do with 9-11, are you aware of that?
Also, Islam is not an evil and barbaric religion. If you know anything about the real teachings, they are very peaceful and there are many loving and kind Muslims. Do some research before you demonize large groups of people.
And selfless? Do you realize that Bush/Cheney have plundered our treasury made millions of dollars off this war through Halliburton and other private contractors?
I agree with your assessment of dangerous times and the frivolous candidacy of Obama, but you are really preaching distorted stereotypes about many other things.
You don’t have to convince me.
Anyone that doesn’t protect the sanctity of the vote or the voting process, does not believe in democracy
or America.
Babs, I think Bush is the worst president I’ve seen in my liftime. I’ve also not seen the Republicans clean up crime or poverty. I live in a very liberal city (unfortunately it went 75 percent for Obama - a horror story) but I see our Democratic city officials working very, very hard to make sure people have decent housing, etc., etc. Not that there aren’t those that fall between the cracks, but since our state got a Democratic majority in our legislature, things are becoming more positive here. If our country were attacked I’d be right there to help defend her, and I’m a Democrat. And most Democrats I know would be standing next to me. I think your commentary too generalized and disagree with it.
Lets hope this information gets out as soon as possible. It’s time to sink Obama as well.
THE TIME HAS COME !!!
past time -do not put off today what you can not do tomorrow.
Contact your MSM to report on this story:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2065855/posts
Suit filed Thurs. in Fed. Court in Philadelphia - Obama constitutionally ineligible for presidency.
Biden has accepted $5,133,072 in contributions from lawyers and lobbyists since 2003. Obama does not accept contributions from federally registered lobbyists.
And he has one other weakness that hasn’t received much attention to date. One of Biden’s sons, Hunter, is a registered Washington lobbyist in a year in which Obama has been excoriating lobbyists and the culture of corruption in Washington. The younger Biden is a name partner at the firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, LLP, and seems to have specialized in lobbying for just the kind of earmark spending by Congress that Obama has vowed to slash. Republican insiders say the party is likely to make an issue of Biden’s family lobbying ties.
Also expect to hear more about Biden’s close ties with credit card companies. His largest contributor (based on total contributions by employees) over the past five years has been MBNA, the Delaware-based bank aquired in 2005 by Bank of America than until then was the world’s largest independent credit card issuer and a major supporter of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that Biden crossed the aisle to support
Crooks and liars, both.
My political friends are horrified that I will be voting for a Republican. All I can say is that the Democratic party shoulda thought of that before they gave us Bozo and Bidet.
PUMA
well I would tell your friends that you are horrified that they are voting for Obama!
LMAO
Bozo & Bidet–love it!
“Bidet” very nice.
also I like “Joe Boughten”
From the late, great Tip O’Neil : “All Politics are local”. Delaware is a big banking/ credit card state. Biden passes legislation that benefits credit card companies. Instead of bemoaning the fact, we should take solice: “All politics are local”.
We decide who gets into congress, who becomes a senator. We set the national stage. It’s pass time we put the local back into politics.
If McCain picks Alaskan Gov. Palin, I will actively campaign for him.
Palin ended Stevens’ bridge to nowhere project.
Biden voted for the bankruptcy bill.
Yeah. ‘Kay. I know who’s in MY economic best interest.
A bridge to nowhere is exactly what people who put their “Hopes” in Obama will get.
Novaya said, “Palin ended Stevens’ bridge to nowhere project.” Dang I thought it was Senators Tom Coburn and John McCain.
Islam speaking getting top spot.lol..Another Obama friend?

If Obama’s performance at the Saddleback Forum was a gift to the Republicans, his selection of Biden as a running mate is a Porsche with a bow parked in the driveway. The Republicans are going to ride away with this one. It would be a whole different story if we put Hillary in the driver’s seat.
Rmemeber the “rumble seat”?
Remember the “rumble seat”?

xxoo!
I can’t believe this guy that will be speaking,has ties to a terrorist organization,and he’s speaking at the convention..What is going on in the DNC?
When the party has been hijacked by socialists, communists, Marxists and the it’s America’s fault crowd that believe that terrorists are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters. That they kill the innocent is of no consequence. Screw them all!
McCain in 2008 but we need a viable third party in 2012. A true centrist party, no democrat or republican party. Something along the lines of the America First Party.
I am an American first a Clinton voter second and a McCain voter as a port of safe haven.
Credit Card Joe is a corporate hack.
Credit Card Joe and Oblowme couldn’t make it as attorneys = work,
so they looked for the easy way to get rich quick
and found it selling out to big biz in politics.
They make me sick.
Asking either of those posers
whether they think something is good for Americans
is flirting with disaster.
Obama was an arm candy attorney.
Biden supported credit card companies and pushed the bankruptcy bill that Dems now hate.
Neither Obama nor Biden have run a city, a state or a business.
Neither Obama nor Biden have run a city, a state or a business into the ground.
The republicans, on the other hand, are making remarkable progress along those lines with the entire country.
A doubling of the national debt and a 41% drop in the value of the dollar in a mere 7 years! Now that’s the way you run a country into the ground! It’s way too slow to do it one city, state, or business at a time.
Get real, congress helped us get into this mess. The dems have done the republicans bidding and continue to do so by offering us this ticket…
Yeah, the democratic congressional minority was probably actually to blame during all those years. They were the republicans’ enablers.
Both Obama and Biden have been eating at the public trough most of their adult lives. Neither would know how to balance a budget or meet a payroll unless they mandated tax increases so they could send American dollars to third world countries.
The only time in recent memory that the Democratic Party was successful was under Bill Clinton.
If you define success as a budget surplus, you’re absolutely right. By that definition, of course, the republicans haven’t had a successful administration in over 50 years. Compared with all democratic adminstrations, they have consistantly set new records for fiscal irresponsibility. Ron, George the First, and George the Second have each pushed the debt into new and unexplored territory, where no previous administration has ever gone before. W did more damage to the budget in a mere 7 years than had been accomplished in the previous 225. A stellar performance!
And where as all that money gone? Whose pockets has it all wound up in?
Don’t be telling me bullshit about Obama and Biden at the public trough. Biden is actually one of the poorest members of the U.S. Senate. Even after all of those years of service. Obama wouldn’t be much better off, without his recent successes with a couple of books that have sold remarkably well.
First, you are attempting to establish definitions, not I. You can rant on all you want. Ranting clearly illustrates you are reading from a script and cannot think for yourself.
Second, both Obama and Biden have never run businesses. I don’t care if Biden is the poorest member of the Senate. He and his wife are both working and it’s surprising that he has not invested his money more wisely. Actually, this illustrates he apparently doesn’t know how to handle finances.
Third, your use of profanity clearly illustrates Obama supporters need to get a dictionary or thesaurus. There is a saying which goes, “When someone uses profanity to support an argument, it indicates that either the person or argument is weak-probably both.”
But your use of profanity does represent the Obama campaign.
anon,
sounds like you have delusions of adequacy and knowledge.
A-NONE:
You actually have to be in charge of a BUSINESS or STATE before you can run it into the ground dumb-bo!
Baby BO hasn’t EVER owned, run, or worked in a business and NIETHER has Biden- dumb-bo! All Biden’s ever done has been a SENATOR!
Geesh you’re DUMB! But you fit well with Dumb and Dumber — you can be Dumbest!
Stop the hate!
The President does not authorize spending–Congress does.
The President doesn’t declare war–Congress does.
The President nominates, the US Senate advises and consents.
Blame Congress. Bush had lousy ideas; a rubber-stamp Congress ENABLED them.
You think a Democratic Congress would be anything BUT a rubber stamp for a Democratic President? Please. We’ll all have what you’re smoking, it must be some good shit.
“Reinstating the Florida and Michigan delegates will not affect that lead because Obama has more endorsements from the states’ superdelegates.”

The Ballad of Barack Obama
The moment of triumph is here for The One,
The nomination he expects to have won,
If he’s all that great, little harm will ensue
If his path to glory I pass in review.
It was in Chicago that he got his start,
Political corruption there’s a fine art,
There he began with a state senate seat,
Whence he’d move on to the national beat.
Lest his opponents enjoy ballot space,
His lawyers had them expelled from the race,
Those who hold competition a sin
Know that, without it, it’s easy to win.
Welfare for slum lords he helped to procure,
And millions in government funding assure;
While tenants lived in unheated holes,
Himself he prepared for loftier roles.
The oval office he had in his sight,
Although his qualifications were light–
Or nonexistent, as others would say
Ambition, however, carried the day.
He triumphed in Iowa over the field,
All his opponents but one would soon yield,
Across the country they went, toe to toe
In epic battles exchanging each blow.
Two delegations were then in dispute,
And as their states were of no small repute,
Adjudication had to be made,
On that day the stone of stumbling was laid.
So on the mile high city converge
Dissident forces, with numbers to surge.
Their faithless party they threaten with doom,
Once the revolt will have reached its full bloom.
Let every honest man be deployed
That at long last there may be destroyed
The fortress of evil, lest if it stand
Its blight it continue to cast on the land.
Let now the banner of revolt be unfurled,
That the unhallowed cabal may be hurled
Down from positions of power and perks,
In which the spirit of dishonesty lurks.
Down with a loud jeer, down with a thud,
Must come the party which dragged through the mud
The voters whom it blushed not to mislead
And which of duplicity planted the seed.
Down with mendacity, and with the disguise
Of Democracy, in which it still lies.
In Denver, now let the tyranny die.
There to be buried, forever to lie.
that epic poem was fantastic! our own bard.
“in Denver, now let the tyranny die.
There to be buried, forever to lie.” –Amen
The current republican administration has run up more debt during the past seven years than all previous presidential administrations combined. I’m more concerned about how republicans use the national credit card, since that directly affects the value of the dollars in my pocket and in my savings account. I can avoid the trap of high interest debt by living within my means and simply not using credit cards irresponsibly. Not spending more than you make is a pretty basic financial concept.
A Must read Questionable speaker at convention!!!!

SO, does this mean all of you people who hate the Bankruptcy bill will be voting for Obama?
He did vote against it, while John McCain and a majority of republicans voted for it.
Oh thats right, you guys are *cough* Clinton supporters who are voting republican because… why again?
Con-foosed!
Get the wax out of your ears and the blinders from in front of your eyes.
We aren’t voting for the candidate who needs a babysitter. That would be BO of course since you OBVIOUSLY haven’t figured it out yet.
Stop the hate!
see see I see a horses head where his tail should be. IE a horse’s ass full of teeth — BWAHAHAHA
I’m not voting Obama because I’m racist. Happy now?
One reason I’m voting against Obama is because he voted for the 2006 Bush/Cheney energy bill. McCain and Hillary made it clear that the oil and energy companies would make billions from the bill; and they did make lots of taxpayer money.
But since Obama has never run a business or had to meet a payroll, and has been eating from the taxpayer trough for most of his life, what does he care how our tax money is spent to benefit his political career.
That’s the stupidest damn political meme anybody has ever tried to get off the ground.
McCain is the newest carrier for the same republican agenda Bush has carried. McCain voted with that agenda 95% of the time, and hasn’t discarded any part of it.
In fact, McCain has recently reversed his position on many points of Bush policy that he previously opposed. For example:
McCain did a 180-degree campaign turn on the Bush tax cuts, and now promotes a plan that actually out-Bushes Bush himself in terms of benefits to the wealthy.
McCain did a complete reversal on offshore drilling. (And then promptly pocketed over a million bucks in new oil industry campaign donatons.)
The facts suggest that a McCain administration would probably be as close to the Bush adminstration as you could get with cloning.
Excuse me; “stupidest damn political meme . . .” This comment coming from someone defending Obama.
Obama flip-flopped on FISA.
Obama opposed House-passed 1872 Mining Act reform bill. (In November 2007, Obama pandered to the mining industry by coming out AGAINST a crucial reform bill the House passed that would have updated the notorious “General Mining Law of 1872.” Could Obama’s stance have been influenced by Billy Vassiliadis, a longtime Nevada power broker, mining lobbyist, and member of Obama’s Nevada campaign steering committee?)
Obama supports nuclear energy while saying in certain speeches before environmental groups he doesn’t.
The list goes on and on. You have no room to talk if you support Obama.
What you need to do if questions your ethics for supporting a fraud like Obama.
I’m not voting for Obama because I’m NOT a racist.
Another reason I’m not voting for Obama is because HE IS A RACIST AND SEXIST.
No, no, no…the object as I see it, is to run out the worthless liberal left from the Dem Party - restore the Party, sans frauds such as Obama.
Well the Hopey-Changey dude can maybe go stew in the Senate.
the least of my worries is a friggin’ bankruptcy bill. I am much more concerned about our country being taken over by a bunch of wacko nuts such as yourself who have no idea the meaning of living in this country.
You seem to completely misunderstand why BO is tanking, and why so many dems will go to Mccain.
Of course, we expect the repubs to vote for it..that is in their policies…altough Mccain is pretty anti-lobby
But as dems, b/c we oppose it.. BUT if a dem like Biden is so much in bed with these lobbyists, and Biden is more so than others, one son is an exec at a high powered lobbying firm and the other son is a partner at another lobbying firm.
tell me, why should vote for the SOB ticket ??
what is the difference?
BO has lied on FISA, off-shore drilling, on PUBLIC FINANCING.. (considering he signed a piece of paper saying he would)
Why should I trust him on anything?
Although I disagree with Mccain on some things.. I know where I agree with him.. and where I disagree..
He means what he says,,, and says what he means..
I will not vote for someone, who has habitually lied, has terrorists friends and barely has 150 days in the senate b-4 running..
I will vote for any dem over mccain EXCEPT BO!
Mccain ‘08
Because the DNC manipulated the election and forced an illegitimate nominee with no principles on us–can ya manage that?
So, he voted against the Bankruptcy bill but now chooses one if it’s biggest boosters to be his running mate, and that’s an admirable thing because…?
Mr. Flip-Flop at it again.
And for the simple bots out there: we are not all voting Republican or unwilling to vote for BO “just because Hillary didn’t win.” Why are you so thick–we’ve explained it many times.
It’s about the democracy stupid.
Bwahahahahaha…
“Concerned!!!!”
Great name–you SHOULD be concerned~~!!!!!!
So Clyburn says Joe Biden remarks were not racist and they crucify Bill CLinton. That’s why racism will never end anywhere. Some peole are allowed to getting away with using racism as business and political expediency.
Here is another of Joe Biden offensive remarks that CLyburn can comment on:
“Sen. Joseph Biden says he can hold his own in a 2008 presidential primary against Democratic contenders from the South, noting that his home state of Delaware was a “slave state.”
Er…
“You don’t know my state,” he said. “My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state has the eighth-largest black population in the country. My state is anything but a Northeast liberal state.” (NYT)

If there were any doubt, then nominating Biden for the VP slot officially confirms it: the Democratic Party has morphed over the past three months into the Stupid Party. The only saving grace is that Biden, a one-man gaffe machine, will provide some light entertainment as Obama drags the Party down to yet another electoral defeat.
Biden was also a not spectacular vote against pay day loans and their impact on military men and women …. I posted it yesterday. Matt Tiabi from that Republican bastion ROLLING STONE was all over it ages ago.
Senator Biden’s Senate seat is probably safe, so he has nothing to lose.
He may as well reach for the brass ring…no one else wanted it!!!
Taking any bets on how long it takes for him to get his foot stuck?
Somebody told me that the maccain site has a gaffometer. They are clocking how long it takes before biden says something really stupid.
Joe will have to work damn hard to top John’s suggestion that Cindy should participate in the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally’s Miss Buffalo Chip contest.

Wildman McCain! He’s not afraid to act insane!
A-NONE:
You are SO BORING! Who’s your DADDY?
Stop the hate!
Pastor Warren should have asked John how the Miss Buffalo Chip contest relates to Christian family values. Maybe that question will come up during a future televised debate…
A-NONE!
You mean BO has Christian values– like, “Whatever You Do For One of These Least Brothers of Mine, You Do For Me.”
He can’t even help his OWN brother man!
Stop the hate!
Lucky for MEchelle that she never used cutlery -
just wanting to scratch Bill Clinton’s eyes out with her talons -
since they won’t let her have any in her new cage.
First, MEchelle wasn’t allowed to bring rabies into Europe
and now that they’re examining her relative’s remains in Georgia, well…
these are trying times for a Sasquatch.
I hope that the new animal trainers were able to work with her in time for the convention.
I wouldn’t want any Clintons to get injured.
Ladies and gentleman, Michelle Obama has just arrived to deliver her convention speech:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTW19g-uUTw
It’s called humor–look it up. Something BO completely lacks because he such a pompous dork.
Bwahahahahaha!!
Another “clueless old fart” reference!! Let’s run down to the Dunkin Donuts and tell that Sturgis story using an INDIAN accent~~~~!!!!!
Say–did you KNOW that CINDY was a pillpopper too, and swiped drugs to support her habit?? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!! And, and, and….she’s RICH!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOH! And, and, and….her FATHER was an asshole and ignored her half sister!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!
And, and….and….
Cindy’s running for what office, now?
How will her name read on the ballot, hmmmm?
Michelle Obama has bigfoot-sized feet and looks like a guy in a dress….but so what? She’s not on any ballot EITHER.
It’s her HUSBAND Saint Barack of Corrupt Chicago who is the fuckup, not her.
That post of yours was a solid eight on the FEAR PUMA meter. You guys should be worried. Your hero made ANOTHER BAD DECISION.
They’ll need photo finish video like in horse racing between Oblowme and Credit Card Joe.
I had already decided to vote for John McCain, although my first choice was Hillary Clinton. John McCain’s entire life has been in the service of our country, with over five years of it in a prison camp being tortured every day. Even after he wass released, he remained in the navy and continued to serve our country.
What has Barack Obama ever done for this country except take advantage of every privilege available, made possible by Americans like Senator McCain who put their lives on the line to preserve our freedoms. We are not even sure that Obama is eligible ato run for the office to which he aspires. Perhaps when Philip Berg’s law suit is before the Philadelphia Federal Court we will know more.
Even without the questionable citizenship problems that Obama has, his affiliation with known enemies of our country should be enough to turn any true American away from him. Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, etc.
Wake up America, with the help of Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile and other radicals in the DNC, he is poluting the minds of many of our youth.
I pray that this message gets out far and wide and I will see that everyone that I know is turned on to this web site.
God Bless America.
Obama is going to accept the Democratic Nomination next Wednesday, said C-span live:
http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN_wm.aspx
It means Hillary on the ballot is OVER, it means the Convention is just A SYMBOL FOR THE FRAUDS AND CORRUPTIONS!
The reason why the DNC selects Obama is because they hope Obama will win General Election by Frauds; Hillary is too honest to win!
Well - isn’t this special! I’m probably waaaay late to the party but just read this headline at Yahoo!:
Democrats give Michigan, Florida full voting rights
And the article says it was “…at the behest of Barack Obama…” donchaknow.
Ah, yes bambi - that magnanimous soul is all about the fairness!
Biden will pull in a lot of Florida votes…
A-NONE:
And here in Georgia as well!!!
I’m jus messin’ with ya man!
Stop the hate, nonee!
Oh yea, Biden did REALLY well in Florida for himself didn’t he? What did he get 1-2% of the vote before he dropped out. Wow–coattails!
That ship has long sailed.
little effer
…unless they arrive through the back door as we have noticed. He’s a liar.
The tricky part is the “federally registered” part.
How many terrorists and convicted felons bother to “federally register”?
Sure, convicted felons Rezko, Auchi etc. will be registered now, but not as lobbyists.
And what about Rev. Wrong and Father Flagellator?
Oblowme buddies Ayers and Dohrn would be doing life terms, but for Ayers electric company Daddy.
And they sure have agendas.
Scary ass anti-American agendas.
Axelrod is a lobbyist in all but federal registration. He works for a lobbying firm, he profits from lobbying activity, and he does business at the behest of lobbyists.
The Messiah has got one right under his nose-in-the-air.
And those lobbyists who are registered at the state level? They’re fine, he’ll take money from them. He just doesn’t like the “DC” ones. But he’ll take money from people who work for them, so long as they’re not federally registered.
You fools will buy anything in a pretty brown package, because you’re just SO EAGER to be “not racists” you’ll suspend your intelligence and your logic.
Hold hands and sing “We Are The World” now, if that makes you feel better. Your “United Colors of Benetton” campaign is led by a corrupt, snippy and whining liar.
Dean on C-span live just said that Hillary’s supporters are different from Hillary who has been honest to Obama since her suspended her compaign in June?
MSM Ignores Democrat Lawsuit Against Obama
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/08/22/msm-ignores-democrat-lawsuit-against-obama
OH YES! And…you KNOW he was one of those Senators who voted AGAINST capping the interest rate to a maximum of 30 percent, just like “O” Soetoro.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00020
Now, I DO hope “O” is keeping his pledge SOME WHERE, and he will be declaring that Joe “I Like You” Biden….oh, sorry, Credit Card Joe Biden will be taking the Obama campaign PLEDGE of:
NO LOBBYISTS
No PAC Money
After all, he can’t have the kind of CHANGE if he is willing to accept that money, right?
…Still confused over the fact that Obama’s PAC has been allowed to pay over 600 K to his endorsers. Isn’t that influencing from a PAC?
OK, we’ll patiently await the announcment.
:::scenario :::
Well alrighty then Joe, I know you’re a ‘regular Joe’ - so what’s say you and I sit down at *my* kitchen table and discuss my credit card debt…oops sorry, I forgot, the bank REPO’d my table last month not to mention my kitchen … how ’bout a picnic then? … providing you bring the donuts and hot air for the cushions!
Keep the change ~
