Vice President Joe Biden invoked Paul Ryan's deceased father to question the Republican vice presidential candidate's values:

"My dad used to have another saying, for real," Biden said. "And, by the way, I've been saying this for 30 years. And I'm glad to see that Congressman Ryan likes his dad, too, and quotes his dad. I mean that sincerely. But my dad [had] a lot of wisdom. Every time someone tell you, say, 'Look, let me tell you what's important to me, what I value.' My dad would go, 'No, no. Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.'"

Ryan's father died when the congressman was 15 years old.

My dad would go, 'No, no. Don't tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.'"

Joe Biden's household budget includes $100 a year in charitable donations, mostly used underwear.

They have to because neither one has a brain.

John Edwards pulled the same crap during a debate w/Cheney

Edwards also used his dead son every chance he got for sympathy.

These people have no shame. None. Zero..................

"Shame" is a bourgeois value which is why these people disdain it.

In the war of ideas, we must attend ONLY to what they DO. What they SAY is always a tactical maneuver.

Joe Biden's values are seen through
the bottom of a Gin bottle.

I bet they dump Biden for someone with a brain.........

No way they do that. I am pretty confident they will stick with a Democrat for the VP position.

His dad would “go?”

[HIDEK6]

I thought the correct locution was, “My dad was like ...”

Since Biden is the presiding officer of a Senate that has not produced a budget in over 1,000 days, if I follow his logic, I guess he has no values?

[LibLieSlayer]

biden... you are the fruit of your daddy's loins and he was obviously a dumb arse just like you.

Can’t wait for the VP debate, Biden’s an idiot.

I'll bring the popcorn!

[DonkeyBonker]

You can’t show us a budget, you haven’t shown one in how long?

As for your values, you must not have any since you don’t have a budget.

The better part of Biden ran down his mother’s leg.

[UB355]

Real butter please.

[Venturer]

Atleast we know who Ryans and Bidens father’s were. That is more than we can say for Obama.

[Miss Behave]

Buffoonish boneheaded bozo.

Loser in last place.

The citizens and voters of North Carolina must agree with you. Joe Biden could only muster up about 660 people to attend his campaign appearance there.

Some difference from the massive turnout for Romney/Ryan over the weekend. And.....I don’t think Obama is doing much better in Iowa. He can’t muster 4000-5000 people, and...he is the President of the United States!!! No money, no crowds, no Obama, no Biden, no Democrats!!!

Whose the most frightened man in America, right now?

Joe “Shit for brains” Biden.

Happy debating, Joe!

This reminds me, when is Obummer going to pick a running mate??

[CdMGuy]

Apparently, his father never lectured him about the evils of plagarism.
