"I WOULD LET THE TAX CUTS FOR ALL OF THE MIDDLE CLASS LAPSE"
Yepsen: SENATOR, HOW DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR IDEA (ED: socialized medicine)?
Biden: YOU PAY FOR MY IDEA BY DOING THREE OR FOUR THINGS, DAVID, AND ALSO YOU GO AFTER THE DEBT THIS WAY. I WOULD FUNDAMENTALLY -- YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY AND A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN TERMS OF THE TAX POLICY. I WOULD LET THE TAX CUTS FOR ALL OF THE MIDDLE CLASS LAPSE. I WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEW TAX CUT CALLED FOR BY ELIMINATING THE INHERITANCE TAX. I WOULD -- I WOULD LET LAPSE WHAT WOULD COST $195 BILLION OVER TEN YEARS THE TAX CUT FOR DIVIDENDS. I WOULD ELIMINATE TOTALLY THE TAX CUT FOR PEOPLE MAKING OVER -- IN THE TOP ONE PERCENT, WHICH IS $600 BILLION. IN ADDITION TO THAT, ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY SIDE OF THE AGENDA, I WOULD END THE WAR IMMEDIATELY. I WOULD END THIS WAR. THAT WOULD SAVE ME A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE -- AND I WOULD ELIMINATE THE STAR WARS PROGRAM. I WOULD NOT DEPLOY THE STAR WARS PROGRAM, WHICH IS A MULTITRILLION-DOLLAR, LONG-TERM INVESTMENT WE'RE MAKING, AND I WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM OF NEW NUCLEAR WARHEADS, WHICH ADDS UP IN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THAT WOULD GIVE ME, DAVID, SOMEWHERE IN A YEARLY BASIS AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY IF WE DID THIS, MANY OF THESE THINGS, I WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER ROUGHLY $200 BILLION A YEAR AVAILABLE. $200 BILLION. I COULD FOR $26 BILLION INSURE EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY CHILD IN AMERICA --

THIS alone is BAD... Raising taxes for the voters AND gutting defense. If this is the best Obama can pick, he is DOOOOMED.
Video at link. I hate all-caps.
>>I hate all-caps.
But that’s how Biden talks.
I could too. I would get rid of The Dept. of Education!
You're being kind. The good Senator does not talk, he babbles.
Those are the fundamentals of the permanent Democrat platform. ....and one which they enthusiastically implement every time they infest the executive branch.
Well I sure hope McCain’s team uses those words to condemn not only Biden, but Obama as well. Sell it as them being like-minded on important issues.
BTW, does anyone have the actual video or tape of Biden talking about sticking it to the Middle Class. It needs to go into a GOP ad, like tomorrow.
Oops, just saw your post. Someone needs to send this video and transcript to the RNC and McCain’s campaign ASAP.
I think Obama has realized he is going to lose this election BIG and picked Biden to give him an excuse for losing.
“I WOULD END THIS WAR. THAT WOULD SAVE ME A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR”
ME! ME! ME! It’s not your money buttwart!
caps are hard to read! dude.
But thats how Biden talks.
LOL! Coffee on keyboard...
The rat's dream team of hate America and capitalism, the Islamofascist Narcissistic Liar and an Old White Honky Narcissistic Plagiarist/Liar $inator, or Karl Rove strikes again:
WHAT THE HECK WAS OBAMA THINKING? BAD CHOICE BARRY
BARRY BARRY BAD!!
WELL, I'M NOT SURE THERE'S A DIRECT RESPONSE IN CONGRESS. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO WOULD LIKED TO HAVE NOT SEEN THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN LAPSE THAT WE -- I SUPPORTED THE IDEA YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF BULLETS IN THE CLIP OF A GUN AND 9 MILLIMETER GLOCKS AND ALL THAT.
What an idiot. The communist liberals are not even back on their collective feet after the Supremes ruled the Second Amendment to be an individual right and this moron wants to step right back in the mud pit.
I THINK IT CAN BE A LIABILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, I OPPOSE REGISTRATION. I OPPOSE A LOT OF THE -- THERE IS A SECOND AMENDMENT AND IT'S REAL. THE QUESTION IS, THOUGH, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I HAVE STRONGLY SUPPORTED: ELIMINATING COP KILLER BULLETS, ASSAULT WEAPONS, THE DEALING WITH THE ABILITY TO HAVE MULTIPLE ROUNDS IN A GUN, A SEMIAUTOMATIC, 20, 25, 17, 18 ROUNDS. I DON'T VIEW THAT AS ANY INFRINGEMENT ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT, AND I KNOW IN MY STATE, WHICH IS A BIG GUN OWNER STATE, THERE IS A GENERAL ACCEPTANCE BY HUNTERS AND SPORTSMEN FOR THOSE LIMITATIONS.
The Supreme Court decision was NOT based on the rights of "hunters and sportsmen." As far as their being a "general acceptance" for such limitations I believe the good Mr. Biden is quite plainly lying.
I'M A BIG FAN OF JIMMY CARTER'S. I WAS, AS YOU REMEMBER, HIS NATIONAL CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN IN 1976, THE FIRST PERSON TO ENDORSE HIM.
Words fail me. How can anyone be so stupid as to say that when trying to actually win an election?
THE TWO BIGGEST ISSUES THAT WILL HAVE LIFETIME EFFECTS FOR OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO BE WHO THE NEXT SUPREME COURT APPOINTEE IS. AND I WISH THEM LONGEVITY, BUT YOU LOOK AT TWO OF THE JUSTICES ON THE COURT WHO VOTED THE OTHER WAY, THOSE JUSTICES, ONE IS IN THEIR EIGHTIES AND ONE IN THEIR MID SEVENTIES AND HAS BEEN IN POOR HEALTH. SO IT'S FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT REFLECT THIS RIGHTWARD SWING OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Yep can't be having those Supreme Court Justices doing the "right" thing. They must all be good little commies and do the leftist thing in the face of justice and common sense.
I'D IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF JOHN KERRY'S BOOK, AND I WOULD INSURE EVERY CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 18. I WOULD IMMEDIATELY MOVE FOR CATASTROPHIC HEALTH COVERAGE, AND I WOULD SECONDLY MOVE TO -- AND YOU COULD DO THIS QUICKLY LIKE WE'RE DOING IN MY STATE, MOVE TO ELECTRONIC RECORD KEEPING, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE COST. BUT THEN WHAT I WOULD DO IS I WOULD GIVE MUCH MORE LEEWAY TO THE STATES WHO ARE NOW EXPERIMENTING WITH FULL COVERAGE, MANDATORY HEALTH CARE COVERAGE LIKE AUTOMOBILE COVERAGE. AND I WOULD DO IT A LITTLE BIT LIKE WHAT WE DID IN THE WELFARE REFORM. WE GAVE -- WE UNDERWROTE THE STATE'S ABILITY TO ENGAGE IN WELFARE REFORM
John "I have a Plan but you must elect me before I tell what it is" Kerry? And with one of the most hated government proposals (national health "care") to be run by an outfit that can't build 300 miles of fence in two years? AND model it after the government's wildly successful WELFARE PROGRAMS? No wonder the guy looks like a, a,...
This alone should sink the Obama-Biden boat!
