We must say up front that we sympathize with Vice President Biden for the loss of his wife and infant daughter in a 1972 car crash. It is, however, unfortunate that Biden himself lacks the common decency not to misuse and pervert the memory of his spouse and child for political gain, and not to misuse the resources of the U.S. Senate to inflict pain on an innocent family for the same reason. As reported by Inside Edition, a police investigation of the accident showed that Mrs. Biden pulled into an intersection after she failed to notice an oncoming tractor trailer, which apparently had the right of way. The truck's driver, Curtis Dunn, put his own life at risk in an effort to avoid the collision; he twisted the wheel so hard that he overturned his vehicle "Let me tell you a little story," Mr. Biden told the crowd at the University of Iowa. "I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on Dec. 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly -- and I never pursued it -- drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries." A false accusation of a crime such as killing somebody while driving drunk is of course automatically libel or slander, but Mr. Biden waited until Mr. Dunn had died of natural causes to make this accusation.

Amazing that a guy elected to the Senate is so small he has to constantly lie about his past.
Cackle & Smirk Biden is too far an alcoholic to actually debate anyone, so he lies and the media-lapdogs support his lies. Delusional is a symptom of alcoholism ...
It’s like a posted stated a few days ago.
Ryans job was made more difficult as it appeared he was debating a drunk in a bar.
I DON'T. He has used them for political props for decades.
Biden’s “performance” was the single most disgraceful public act I’ve ever seen any politician engage in since I’ve been watching politics for about fifty years. I’ve seen a few debates in that time, and Biden’s actions were the single worst actions of any pol during those years. It was simply so outrageous, weird, and disgraceful the Pubbies should be using it for fodder up to the election.
I’m sorry. I really do not see any connection between what happened in 1972 and Joe “Bitme” Biden’s current political ambitions. Hey Joe, GET OVER IT!!!
