TOLEDO, Ohio -- In the White House's most aggressive singling out of its Republican rivals to date, Vice President Joe Biden slammed Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum by name during his first public campaign event of the 2012 cycle.

Addressing more than 500 union members and supporters at United Auto Workers Local 12 here, Biden touted the administration's backing of the auto industry bailout, saying that the GOP presidential candidates were "dead wrong" in their opposition to the measure.

"Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich," he said. "These guys have a fundamentally different economic philosophy than we do."

He specifically noted Romney's 2008 op-ed entitled "Let Detroit go bankrupt" -- greeted with raucous boos -- as well as Gingrich's labeling of the bailout as a "mistake," and Santorum's statement that the measure catered to Obama's political interests.

Biden name names of the opposition and demands they are held responsible for their statements to abandon the auto industry for the sake radical ideological purity. This ought to put the GOP on the defensive.

They're the only sane voice left that hasn't been taken over by the elite librul media.

5. Those evil unions, how dare they try

7. Unions hate slavery. How anti-capitalist can you get?

You know every business executive wishes he had the freedom his lord and savior John Galt wants him to have to replace his present workforce with slaves . . . skinny ones.

8. Go, Joe!

I think Joe is going to be a huge asset to the re-election campaign, mostly because of his previous stance on women's rights!

I've always enjoyed Biden's spirit, and he hasn't disappointed me yet! Go, Joe!
