Joe Biden’s his own worst enemy
Boston Herald ^ | October 3, 2008 | Howie Carr

Posted on 10/03/2008 8:49:47 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Joe Biden was doing OK for a while last night . . . until he turned into Joe Biden. About 9:45 last night, Champ’s carriage turned into a pumpkin.

Joe Biden is a man of the people. Why, he does the same things just like you and I do. How do we know this? Because Joe Biden told us last night.

“I was recently at my local gas station.”

Holy crap! Look at that picture!

Were they trying to get the Sci Fi geek vote by making him look like he was channeling Spock?

They really did tape his eyes for God sake!

“I visited the nearby supermarket”

Must be a big event for him...

I prefer Lowes. Home Depot is always dark and dirty. Lowes is always brighter and cheerier.

I have to disagree. She evaded and dodged questions that were posed to her. She was meek when she needed to attack the Democrats for what they did this week. Very disappointed.

Treats are good, but Beverly Hills Wood and Lumber sounds expensive from the name. It might be better to lobby Lowes to get treats. If they can increase my blood sugar, I’d probably buy twice as many drill bits.

I believe that he also tried to claim his down home bonifieds by talking about visiting a restaurant (closed now for twenty years) and talking to a guy at the gas station who couldn't fill up his tank (and then gave the name of a gas/oil lobbyist).

Lot of buzz about this on FR last night. Any updates?

Joey Stanko. But the original thread was pulled at the posters request. Maybe it all came to nothing. I do not know.

UPDATE: Retracted. Biden apparently said “Joey Danco” not “Joey Stanko”.

Sorry. No “there” there apparently.

Fresh from the McCain people.

JOE BIDEN’S 14 LIES DURING THE DEBATE!

1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.

2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.

3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.

5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.

6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.

7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false

8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a windfall profits tax.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.

12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.

13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”

14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.


NOW, NOW, NOW...THERE GOES JOE BIDEN LYING AGAIN.

Different matter but a caller to the Howie Carr radio show today said he called the Home Depot in Delaware and asked for Joe Biden. It made even Carr chuckle loudly, the response of the employee as portrayed by the caller.
