Biden Stiffs His Campaign Staff (giggle)

“Family, I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it. If you borrow something, you give it back.

I have been “stiffed” three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those three hurt badly.

Joe Biden was one of those people...

snip.

Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.

Source for at least the second photo. I didn't check the other. It's photo 467 of 649.

Be careful with this stuff, because one thing we don't want to have happen is for Biden to be dropped from the ticket. /½sarc

Seems like the story could have ended after he was stiffed the first time.

Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.

Biden is on of those who thinks he is above the law when "he thinks" it's a good reason themselves. These people are also very narcissistic and there attitude is you will have to take me to court and it will cost you most or more in attorney fees to get. Biden = narcissistic scum bag

Hey, Dr Dopenstein, pick up your flag.

Evidently, it was true, but is no longer. Snopes actually contacted Mr. Riddle. Read what he had to say at the following url.

People need to know about deadbeats seeking trust.

Obligatory:

If this was a Republican...

(Shouldn’t we just create an acronym - ITWAR - for this?)

Hey, Dr Dopenstein, pick up your flag.

But the flag didn't fall to the ground. He clearly placed it that way deliberately. Check out how the stick is propped up against the chair. Not that he would have done it with the intent of disrespecting the flag, but rather that he apparently didn't care enough to give it much thought.

Although grateful for his honest sharing of facts...one can’t help but say...why keep coming back to his aide? Unless you think you were “volunteering?”

There was snip of this on the web a couple of days ago. Sent it to a Obama, big time raw raw union guy I used to work with. His response, “the republicans paid him to say this.” Must be nice to live in a different universe.

[twhitak]

Was Biden not properly vetted?

[ETL]

Could someone please upload these two Biden photos to some website where they can be accessed later? Because I’m afraid the ObamaRats are going to somehow get them removed from the Yahoo site where they exist now. Tanks in advance!

You're right, sounds too bad to be true.

[Farmer Dean]

Dr Frankenputz is more accurate.

Hey PJ, is this the story?
