He’s a lawyer isn’t he?

It is all likely in trusts.

For all we know, Biden may be a slum lord and own more homes than McCain. Wouldn’t that be a toot!

Biden also owns a smaller carriage house on his property, where his widowed mother lives.
I thought Biden claimed he only owned one home...
Maybe he forgot about this one.
But at least he takes care of his family, unlike Barack Obama.

Let’s not dump on Biden too much. The worst thing for us would be for Stuttering Barry to dump Senator Hairplug, and actually get a decent VP candidate.

Absolutely right. Wouldn’t that be a panic move. He may get dumped on October 3rd.

Yes, lets be careful nd NOT wake up the DNC for fear they will dump Osama Obama HUSSEIN and slip Hillary back into the top of the ticket alla “THE TORCH” in New Jersey a few years ago:-)
And as you point out, e dearly need to protect “PLUGS” Biden from being thrown under the bus before November 5, 2008 when Obie HUSSEIN wakes up one of the biggest loosers since McGovern and Dukakis!

35 years as a US Senator, he can’t manage his own money.

http://www.startribune.com/nation/27321404.html

Major assets: Bank accounts and life insurance policies, $19,000-$110,000; three bank accounts held jointly with his wife, $3,000-$45,000.

These congressional realestate deals seem to make the local papers..along with lobbying ties for family, but rarely make it into the national press..at least for Rats.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I am not seeing the kinds of big numbers that would cause me to go "oh my god - another big crook." Remember, he is carrying a $730,000 loan for this on his $230,000 in salary, and his numbers don't look like anything other than the kinds of things any upper middle two income family could do with their money.

The profit loss statements on his property over 20 years are not out of line. In DC you could have made that buying and selling a single house in the last 6 years.

He might have gotten slightly better terms on something somewhere than you or I could get, but I don't see a Rezco like sweetheart deal in this.

The problem with Biden is not that he is a crook - he seems to be reasonably honest and sincere. It is that he is retro liberal of the Hubert Humphrey kind.

Stay focused. There is enough in Biden's stances to take him on [Israel will just have to learn to live with the Iranian bomb]. You don't have to defame him on flimsy evidence that isn't going anywhere and make him a hero.

I read it through. Not even smoke there. I’m inclined to believe Joe did not use his years in the Senate to become rich like many others do. This is something I am coming to respect him for.

When the link didn’t work, I searched for your article and came upon that “drank his lunch” controversy regarding the fatal accident of his wife. Now that is disturbing stuff.

What I have been looking for and don't seem to find hide nor hair of is a home between Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach... About 10 or 12 years ago, I talked to several people who were working on a $1.2 - $2 million dollar place at the beach which they said was Joe Biden's - even talked about his bitching whenever something didn't suit him...

Have even checked property lists but nothing shows up for any Biden ownership or transfers in Sussex County - ever... Hmmmmm
