Biden Asks Americans To "Imagine"
CBS ^ | 9/23/08 | Ryan Corsaro

(WASHINGTON) - Joe Biden spoke to the National Jewish Democratic Council tonight, making the focus of his speech a call for Americans to imagine a country different than it’s been under eight years of President Bush.

He asked the crowd to imagine a country that believes in science, a president will put Supreme Court justices on the bench that respect civil and women’s right, and a United States that once again “is respected around the world.”

Biden started his speech with an old Jewish joke that was warmly received, saying the Yeshiva crew team realized Harvard’s secret to winning was that they had only one person yelling while the rest of the team rowed. “That could be said about us Irish as well,” said Biden to laughs from the Jewish audience. He likened it to the current political race for the White House.

“We need to ignore all of the malarkey, ignore all of the distractions, ignore the e-mails, and get behind Barack Obama,” he insisted.

Biden’s tone was calmer tonight. He had a small coughing fit, which he blamed on eating a handful of peanuts before he walked on stage, and took a sip of water.

While Biden said that “wealthy people are just as patriotic as poor folks,” he added that the ExxonMobils of the world did not need or deserve a four billion dollar tax break to drill off-shore after a decade of record profits, which McCain has advocated.

He also attacked the McCain-Palin ticket on health care, saying they would tax health care costs on top of the average American’s earned income.

In tax dollars, Biden said, “that will be a trillion dollars.”

“It's not a bad economic theory, it's just a dumb economic theory,” he added.

Imagine there's no Palin

No Moose Stew in crock pots
Dead mooses make me cry
Imagine all the people
Living for Husseieieieeinnnn

Imagine there's no countries

Open up them borders

Imagine F-D-R now
Speaking on TeeVeeeeeeee

You may say that I'm a Schemer
But I'm not the only one
Just vote Ayer's and Wright's lovechild
And the world will have the "One"

Imagine no possessions
Uncle Sam will claim them all
No need for guns or Hummers
And castrate every man
Imagine all the people
Living Lenin's Dreeeeaaammm

You may say that I'm a Reamer
But I'm not the only one
B'rack will have you grab your ankles
And provide new turbans for Everyone

That was Adolph Hitler's secret to winning as well.

“We need to ... get behind Barack Obama,” he insisted.

Cause you sure as heck don't want him behind you.

NJDC is one of the Jewish groups that showed it loved the Dem party and Obama more than it loved Israewl and insisted Palin be disinvited from addressing the anti-Iran demo this week.

Biden said he only promised to be Obama’s vice president if they agreed to trust that Americans could handle “fundamental change” in all aspects of the American way of life, from alternative energy to the politics of government.

Fundamental change: Go from capitalism to Marxism. Hmmm...perhaps a change I can do without.

Health care expenditures are a problem in this country because health care insurance provided by employers is non-taxable, thereby inducing most Americans to pay for their health care outlays through insurance. This provides an obvious disincentive to economize when it comes to health care purchases. And of course the evil HMOs were a government “solution” to this problem, instead of tackling the obvious.

Naturally when someone in DC tries to tackle the actual problem then they are demagouged. So on the problem will continue, just like Social Security and Medicare.

If Obama loses the election, I think Biden will be much of the fault for the loss. His gaffes are getting as punctual as an atomic clock.
