Bank of America's appointed political whore; Joe Biden

[inthebrain]

Mucho's dinero from Bank of America to Joe Biden so far. I guess voting for the Bankruptcy Bill sure has paid off in spades. Even more interesting regarding the corrupt favoritism Biden displays for the credit card companies is that Bank of America holds his son, a corporate lawyer, as a retainer.

1. I am glad to see this kind of shallow smear posted against Biden.

It shows he's being taken more seriously

[zabet]

4. I agree. nt

[mtnsnake]

13. Does that mean that Hillary is taken more seriously than any other candidate?

:shrug:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

15. absolutely

[Tellurian]

70. I don't believe anyone can top Edwards

Edwards helping to Bankrupt Americans..

which makes the middle class highly susceptible to Poverty. (the centerpiece of his platform)

Remember who Co-Sponsored the Iraq Vote?.. John Edwards in case you've forgotten..

and promoted the Iraq War for two years on the White House website?

* Edwards supported a bankruptcy bill that was vetoed by President Clinton. In 2000 John Edwards voted for the Bankruptcy Overhaul bill. While this bill included a slight increase of the minimum wage, its major design was to revise bankruptcy laws to make it easier for courts to force debtors to repay their debts, while before the law had allowed debtors to discharge their debt. 12 Democrats and 2 Republicans rejected this bill, including Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, and Tom Harkin. President Clinton eventually vetoed this bill because it was too hard on debtors.

* Edwards voted for the same bill in 2001, again choosing financial interests over working families. In 2001 Edwards voted for a similar Bankruptcy Overhaul bill that again required Americans facing bankruptcy to undergo debt repayments instead of debt relief. Specifically, the bill required debtors able to pay $10,000 or 25% of their debts over five years to file under Chapter 13, which requires a reorganization of debts under a repayment plan, instead of seeking to discharge their debts under Chapter 7. Edwards voted with nearly the entire Republican caucus in supporting this bill, as well as voting to end debate on the measure. Chris Dodd voted to reject this bill, joining Senators Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry, and Wellstone. In all, the bill was rejected by 13 Democrats and 2 Republicans.

* Edwards would not allow relief for people who were forced into bankruptcy from medical bills. Edwards also sided with the entire GOP caucus to vote against the Wellstone amendment to the 2001 bill. This amendment would have provided an exemption for debtors who were forced to file for bankruptcy due to medical expenses, under the rationale that health expenses are often unpreventable and can be an especially debilitating cost to low and middle income families. Chris Dodd was one of the 34 Democrats who voted for this amendment?a group that included Senators Clinton, Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry and Wellstone.

* Edwards rejected a means test amendment that would have protected debtors from sudden financial misfortune. On the same bill, Edwards again voted with the entire GOP caucus to reject an amendment that would have included a more consumer friendly means test than that included in the original bill. The amended means test would have used the average of a debtor's last two months of income to determine their ability to pay a certain threshold amount of debt, instead of the last six months of income. The amended means test was designed to protect debtors who face financial difficulties from sudden job loss or disability. Paul Wellstone, who authored the amendment, said the original test "will make it impossible for families to rebuild their lives." 22 Democrats supported this amendment, including Chris Dodd. Dodd was accompanied by Senators Clinton, Durbin, Feingold, and Kennedy.

* Edwards supported the final version of the Bankruptcy bill that "punishes the vulnerable." Months later, Edwards again voted for the similar version of the Bankruptcy bill that emerged from negotiations with the House of Representatives. He also voted to limit debate twice on the bill, stifling further amendments or arguments. This version was not substantively different from the earlier versions, as it still made it significantly harder for working Americans to discharge their debts through the bankruptcy system. Chris Dodd rejected this bill, along with Senators Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry and Wellstone. 14 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted against the final measure.

The bill Edwards supported "punishes the vulnerable and it rewards the big banks and credit card companies for their poor practices," said Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., a leading opponent of the legislation. "We are heading into hard economic times and we're going to make it hard for people to rebuild their lives."

Edwards has been part and parcel of the GOP agenda all the way. Edwards voting record is one of the worst of our Dem Senators. Edwards is helping create poverty in the middle class with his bankruptcy vote and earning millions for himself when working for the Hedge Fund sector. The same Hedge Fund sector that was buying sub-prime mortgages for their investment portfolios.. The same "POVERTY" he now professes to help as the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. It must be hard for Edward's supporters to understand the meaning of the words "poverty" and "hypocrisy", when their candidate, John Edwards exemplifies it so well.

Why shouldn't he, he voted for it!

I have great respect for Biden for the work he's put into getting our troops out of Iraq. Edwards, not so much. AFAIC, Edwards has NO redeeming factors that would put him in the category of presidential hopeful. The best news is, he isn't running as an incumbent VP.

We dodged a bullet on that one.

The topic is "VOTES" as per/Biden..and the damage done by Edward's Bankruptcy Vote.

[Froward69]

86. ohh Votes like theese

my favorite was no as to tax credits to renewable diesel? Vote 221: H R 6:
or
no to "To protect civilian lives from unexploded cluster munitions." Vote 232: H R 5631:
all those votes Hillary had with the GOP. the proof she is a dino???

[Tellurian]

94. hmm...yeah, but for you, It's always best to read the Bill

before you start throwing stones and make yourself look foolish!

110th Congress / Bills / H R 6
Title

"To reduce our Nation's dependency on foreign oil by investing in clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources, promoting new emerging energy technologies, developing greater efficiency, and creating a Strategic Energy Efficiency and Renewables Reserve to invest in alternative energy, and for other purposes."

109th Congress / Bills / H R 5631
Title

"Making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and for other purposes."

[Froward69]

99. exactly

posting to bash based on past voted upon bills that on the surface look to be "Bad for America". Most of the time this is not the case.
I am a small business owner. I appreciate the new bankruptcy rules. as I may get what is due me for services rendered.

arguing about the bankruptcy bill is really arguing for lessoned responsibility. i have $250,000 Bill that wasn't mine to begin with. yet i will not run to bankruptcy. as long as the mortage is paid the credit cards cannot take my house. or if i filed for bankruptcy i would have to sell the house to pay the credit cards. so arguing about Bidens vote on the bankruptcy bill is really saying "I cannot figure this out on my own" you may call me republican for this but I never said I am leftist. I am centrist. NOT repuke.

my story,
$250,000 for my fathers forced hospice care and medical bills. thats after the insurance company cheated him out of 40 years of insurance payments on a life insurance policy. convincing an 80 yo man he would die in an accident. oh and while were at it how about changing that long term care insurance to an accidental policy too? done. 10 years of payments there.GONE! He died of prostate cancer. two years of ebbing away in a Hospice bed. a natural death/

$250,000 just to keep my house. Dad co signed and Thus Joint tenant. It would be one thing if I actually got to spend that money on myself (medical bills, boat, college for my kid. etc) but no, I am behind the 8 ball from what the insurance comp did to us. and the forced Hospice part? he did not want to die in a hospice. (as he had seen that with friends) when he realized what happened, how they took advantage of him. he tried to kill himself to spare me from the Debt. The county he was in forced hospice care in the county facility. ( a reppuke bastion.) I could not take him home as I was "not upset at his motives nor his attempt" it was then assumed I "Would facilitate his death"!

The house was in Joint tenancy between he and I, Thus, part of his estate to plunder.

Bankruptcy is the last resort. I would qualify (under the new rules)if I chose to do it. I then would have to sell my home. the rules were changed to no longer allow people to run up a bill and skate. As too many had done already, (hiding their assets in other states country's etc.)

oh and where do I work? I am self employed A.K.A. UNEMPLOYED.

[madmunchie]

93. Can I quote you?

[Tellurian]

95. You wouldn't be quoting me.You would be quoting Senator Dodd..

[1corona4u]

17. Exactly. n/t

[Selatius]

2. Many credit card companies have their headquarters in Maryland. It's no surprise then that...

Joe Biden ultimately voted in favor of the so-called bankruptcy reform bill, but to his credit he tried to soften the blow by inserting provisions to help mitigate the disaster.

[inthebrain]

5. He voted down all those provisions

Or didn't vote at all.

just about every dem saw this bill as an absolute abomination.

There is no excusing this at all!!!!

[gateley]

19. Then don't excuse him. nt

[ginchinchili]

87. I get tired of proving that you are lying to deceive people like Bush does.

This is taken from something I posted a while back:

"The bankruptcy laws that were in place were rife with loopholes that were being abused to the point that bankruptcy turned into a safety net for the financially irresponsible. This particular bill began in 1997 and wasn't completed until 2005, being worked on by Democrats and Republicans alike. As I already mentioned, there were problems with it. Some were addressed and some weren't. To be fair, Sen. Biden did support several amendments that he thought were necessary. His detractors would have you believe that this wasn't the case. For example, he voted in favor of Durbin's Amdt #112 - to protect disabled vets from means testing in bankruptcy; yea on Durbin's Amdt #110 - to clarify that the means test does not apply to debtors below median income; yea on Harkin's Amdt #66 - to increase the accrual period for the employee wage priority in bankruptcy; nay against Santorum's Amdt #128 - an attempt to link minimum wage increase to "business incentives and assistance"; yea on Kennedy's Amdt #69 - to amend the definition of current monthly income; yea on Schumer's Amdt #42 - to limit exemption for asset protection trusts; yea on Durbin's Amdt #49 - to protect employees and retirees from corporate practices that deprive them of their earnings and retirement savings when a business files for bankruptcy; and several others, including an amendment offered by Republican Sen. Talent to deter corporate fraud and prevent the abuse of State self-settled trust law, a good amendment that Obama voted against, Dodd voted for, and Hillary didn't vote on."

Joe Biden is clearly the most qualified candidate running and the Democrat most likely to win the general election and by the largest margin. Doesn't that just drive you crazy, nothinginthebrain? The way Biden voted on a bankruptcy bill is so non-material that no other Democratic candidate even mentions bankruptcy. Most Americans are more worried about our young soldiers getting their limbs blown off or our tetterin economy. But not shitforbrain.

[ginchinchili]

100. Again, you run rather than respond, inthebrain.

I clearly caught you in a lie, but you'd have to care about the truth in the first place for that to bother you. After all, your posts are not about the truth. They are simply about denigrating a very honorable and hard working American senator.

[inthebrain]

8. BTW

What of the people who live in his state that also have to live with this abomination?

They are not all beneficiaries of the credit card companies. Nor do they benefit from the "trickle down" economics resulting from the piece of legislation.

[closeupready]

105. right, in the equation of who comes first, consumers come last,

apparently. I've never understood that w/r/t Biden. He had an otherwise respectable history as a solid Dem. What a disappointment his vote on that bill was, and will always be.

[havocmom]

9. Lots have headquarters in Delaware too, the state Biden represents in the Senate

The cozy laws Delaware has for corporate headquarters always worries me. Other than that, I like Biden. He is a very smart chap. But he does represent a state that does have a huge interest in maintaining very friendly conditions for lots of corporate headquarters, so the laws may not always be good for most consumers.

[ConfidentialStatus]

109. I like his sense of humor

as well. Come on, Biden was funny at the Nevada debate.

[Hieronymus]

11. It's Delaware.

[KittyWampus]

62. Also, since so many CC companies are in Maryland, employees working there would DONATE TO HIM.

If all Widget companies are in the state of NH then it stands to reason that a certain number of citizens working for Widget companies will donate to a NH politician.

[zulchzulu]

106. Biden is from that other state, Delaware

You are correct that Biden is from a state with a lot of banks located there. But it's Delaware that he's from. Wilmington is where a lot of the headquarters are...he lives not too far away from there.

[Adelante]

3. Surely you could have made your point without the personal attack

Show some respect.

[inthebrain]

12. Respect for what?

I'm a nurse.

What would you say to me if I made decisions at my job based on what other people paid me?

These people are not appointed to office so people can buy legislation. This is the ultimate perversion of democracy in our country.

[Adelante]

44. If Joe Biden called you any kind of whore

I'd feel the same way. The name-calling is unnecessary and childish.

[Jennifer C]

98. Agree n/t

[inthebrain]

112. If the Great Hairplug called me a whore

I'd fucking laugh my ass off.

[Telly Savalas]

92. The $23,750 in donations listed above comprise about 0.4% of what Biden

has raised through Sep. 30, 2007. If he's a political whore for such a small sum as you claim, it should be pretty easy for the progressive community to gather 30,000 people to donate a dollar each to him, thereby giving us even more influence than Bank of America.

[blm]

6. Ever check out Bank Of America's Headquarters in NC and all their corporate lawyers?

Interesting stuff when it comes to how they spread their money around.

[jillan]

7. okay comedienne, are you going to break down how much money Hillary got from Citicorp,

Obama has gotten from banks and investment firms....etc?

[inthebrain]

10. I don't forgive her either.

Why do you think I excuse her either?

I suppose it's to take spotlight off of Biden. Bidens support of the credit card companies is the very essence of corruption in Washington.

[1corona4u]

16. And, let's not forget Edwards....

He has made a ton of money in the financials...

[inthebrain]

22. Obama didn't vote for the Bankruptcy Bill

Perhaps it's because Bank of America hasn't hired his son as a retainer.

What the hell do you care.

You think Biden get's a free pass for this and get to point to the finger at Clinton and Obama. Clinton didn't vote at all on the Bankruptcy Bill and Obama voted Nay. Nor did they VOTE DOWN provisions in the bill that would have protected the sick, unemployed and the poor. Biden, the sick bastard, had to go that extra step.

Biden, in his child predator bill, is now going to the extra step on that bill to protect his corporate buddies. So much that the focus of that bill no longer targets child predators and hammers on the freedom of the internet.

What guy he is.

[David Zephyr]

14. You single out Biden as a "whore" and ignore Clinton, Obama and Dodd's B of A money.

The link you provide reveals that, by your standard, all the top Democrats are "whores" of B of A.

Having read many of your posts here at the DU, it is apparent that you have a real distaste for Senator Biden. I respect that, but you shouldn't lower yourself to cherry-picking from a list to make your point about him.

The list you provided would make Hillary, Dodd, Obama all "whores" to use your word. It also makes most all the GOP candidates, including McCain "whores".

To single out Biden from this list is unfair and beneath you.

[1corona4u]

18. And, what's worse is....

ITB has been shown repeatedly the facts that show BK's are on the rise, and that there really hasn't been much of an effect after the bill, but they ignore that. This is becoming a really boring topic.....

[inthebrain]

20. You're on here campaigning

I'm not.

That's really why these threads get under your skin.

the Frequency of Bankruptsies has nothing to do with WHY Biden voted for this bill. Those "reasons", which Biden and his fake left supporters. are constantly add odds with reality. The fact that Biden's son is held as a retainer for Bank of America, not to mention the loads of campaign cash he recieves from them, is the epitome of nepotism and corruption in regards to Biden's approving of this bill.

You want this guy in the white house directing legislation?

That's freaking despicable!!!!!

We're in a war right now resulting from the pull many of the corporations have on the actions of congress. Biden, being an "expert" or foreign affairs, sure as fuck should have known better before approving Bush's war.

He's just as big of a whore as the rest of them.

I don't like Obama much either but despite the campaign contributions he had the good sense to vote that bill down. Same is true of Clinton (who in his own right was a whore for corporations) vetoed this turkey bill twice.

Funny, Biden is to the freaking right of Clinton.

[1corona4u]

24. Hey, if it irritates you....

so much the better.

[inthebrain]

38. You don't really irritate me

I pity you which is more the case.

[1corona4u]

41. Don't pity me....

you're the one worried about filing a BK....I'm not at all.

[inthebrain]

46. Where did I say I was?

Even if I was, I suppose I shouldn't vote for Joe Biden.

You really are a sad sad sad case.

I'm ussually wary of politicians. I don't see the solution to our problems lying in complete ass kissing toa Republicans rival. That makes me even more wary not only of the politician but their base as well.

The strength of a democravy doesn't lie in playing suck up to a guy because he serves coffee and kisses babies. It lies in holding their feet to the fire on the issues.

Oh, and if this is how you plan on pushing this guy in the real world or even as patheticly as it's done on the internet, you're in for a rude awakening. There are 50 million poor people in this country. That's more than ten percent of the nation based on flawed federal poverty threshholds. The number is even higher when you consider those slightly over the line.

All of them fall victim to predatory lending (Which the BB lends support to as well as Biden) at one time or another.

None of them like the Beuorgosie attitude you hold toward them and will burn you every election cycle. Pity you, a lot of Democrats wonder why they supposedly vote against their economic interests or don't vote at all. Perhaps it might have something to do with the fact that assholes like Joe Biden get to run for a party that calls itself "the party of the working class".

Man, your position on this is everything that's wrong with this party. With you sending this guy money and campaigning for him he's an assured loser.

I think he's a beurgoisie union rep that stands for economic nationalism further alienating workers from each other. Further that, I am at odds with his withdrawl plans from Iraq as I don't see some poor bastard dying there better than some poor bastard from here.

Eitherway, he is best choice of candidates on that stage.

And Biden's experience points to a guy who's a career fuck up more than someone that knows what he's doing.

His supporters are just as bad as the Bushites who make excuses for his bad policy decisions as well.

Although I'm not always in agreement with Kucinich he gets it right more than the other candidates. 99% of the time over Biden as well and that's being generous.

43. First of all, WE'RE not the ones pointing fingers -- YOU are. Secondly,,,

you said

"The Bankruptsy bill was bought and paid for by Bidens primary income source; MBNA/ Bank of America".

Here's Biden's TOTAL income from last year:

Earned income: $193,900

And here's where it came from (I'm lookin' but I don't see Bank of America)

Narrative: Biden's income includes his $165,200 Senate salary and a $28,700 teaching stipend from Widener University.

Honoraria (all donated to charity): $800.


Look, I know you don't like Biden and that's fine. I know he voted for a very unpopular and emotional bill that some people find "inexcusable". That's fine, too.

But if you want to attack him, please use FACTS, not emotional knee-jerk untruths.

I saw no John Edwards, (I could be wrong it was quite a long list) or Dennis Kucinich. Am I wrong? And what do you think this could mean?

[inthebrain]

66. DK hasn't taken any money from them

Edwards has but he is not serving in the senate. When he did he towed the line as expected.

Throughout his career, Biden has sucked up every penny and voted their way on EVERYTHING.

50. so whose whore are you?

you really open yourself up to having your own shit throw back at you when you indulge in this kind of crap.

[1corona4u]

52. DK.......n/t

[asdjrocky]

55. Wow, we're using the word "whore" to describe a fellow Dem.

That's too bad. I'm not a Biden supporter, but I would never call the man a whore.

Just saying.:shrug:

[inthebrain]

57. He is a whore

When I think of a Democrat I think of FDR and not Joe Biden. Joe Biden is the antithesis of everything FDR accomplished.

[Steely_Dan]

76. You Should Seriously Consider Decaf...

Sorry - double post

-P

[Eurobabe]

84. I thought we reserved that term for Joementum? n/t

[tritsofme]

64. Bank of America couldn't do any better than Joe Biden?

Maybe they'll do better next time...

[kad7777]

65. The Biden haters

can continue with their rant about the bankruptcy bill all they want. These posts have been appearing quite a bit lately which leads me to believe Joe may be making some strides in Iowa. The minions are out and about.

If this issue is strong enough for you not to support Joe, so be it. Move on. My guess is you never supported him anyway, and have another dog in the hunt. If you take ANYONE who's been in the Senate, especially 35 years like Joe, I'm sure you'll find many votes and authored/co-authored bills that would make your blood boil. For me, the bankruptcy bill doesn't hold enough weight in comparison to all the good Joe has done for the American people.
For instance:
1) authoring The Violence Against Woman Act
2) authoring the Crime Bill that Bill Clinton signed to put 100,000 police on the streets
3) Persuading Bill Clinton to go in to Bosnia to end the genocide and taking down Milosevic ( Joe Biden told Milosevic to his face that he was going to see him tried as a war criminal)
4) Proceeding with an American presence in Darfur to stop the genocide
5) A plan for Iraq to bring our troops home without leaving chaos behind (AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH A PLAN)

When it comes to what's going on today around the globe, because Joe Biden is touted as our best foreign policy mind in Washington, it is essential...it is CRITICAL that Joe Biden become our next President. We have men and women around the globe spilling their blood and giving up their lives. We have the leaders of Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Turkey, and Korea that MUST be dealt with. We have muslim extremists that want us dead. And if we DO NOT establish some type of resolution regarding our global affairs, we will not have a country ANYMORE. It is ridiculous to believe that we will be able to continue with a "normal American way of life", if we do not take care of our foreign difficulties. Then and ONLY then can we really concentrate on our domestic issues and address them properly. We are spending lives and spending ALL of our resources abroad and THIS MUST STOP.

Joe Biden is the only one that can mend this desperate broken country...this broken world. So I say to all of you who want to speak about the bankruptcy bill. Go right ahead. I will not listen, and I will not veer from the importance of having a bright, and experienced foreign policy mind in our Oval Office calling the shots. This should be the SOLE issue for this next Presidential election, but the people of this country are busy being enamored with sound bites and magazine covers, and constant media coverage of these so called "front runners" who don't have a tenth of experience as Joe Biden. It makes me ill.

[1corona4u]

67. Bravo!!

Well said.

[inthebrain]

68. And I suppose you wondered why republicans have been able to kick this parties ass.

Make no mistake on that 06 election. That was a mandate to end the war and the corruption.

Biden is no solution on that end and offers no real change of direction on anything that has corrupted our Democracy. As a matter of fact, he's more often part of the problem than he is the solution.

[kad7777]

71. And who's you dog in the hunt?

I wonder?

[Froward69]

82. this is so much easier...

[kad7777]

I'm getting really sick of all this crap. And frankly, quite amazed that the people in this country don't seem to know what they have in Joe Biden. This isn't an American Idol contest. Our country desperately need a GREAT LEADER.

74. Well, ITB supports Kooch...

so I just take it with a grain of salt now....but it seems to be an obsession with her/him. I mean, why spend all of this time hacking away foolishly, when no one is going to change their mind about Biden? Why does ITB get their blood pressure up about it, LOL.... What's the point of it all?

I'm not going to change my mind, and I doubt if anyone else will either. But I think there is a much deeper reason for it all. I think ITB has a personal problem with the BK bill, otherwise, why keep dredging it up. I have to wonder if ITB tried to file for a BK, and was told they would have to file a chapter 13....or maybe they are in over their heads and just thinking about it, but either way something is hitting way too close to home for ITB...has to be....

[Frustratedlady]

81. I agree. And, with that anger, I'm glad he isn't practicing his trade in Iowa.

ITB, remember that the more you argue your case to Biden supporters, the more determined they will be to support him. That bankruptcy bill is small compared to the humonguous problems we have with this country and the world.

Grow up! Cleaning up after Bush is going to be serious business, and we don't have time to train a new leader. Biden knows his way around, physically and psychologically, and the knowledge he has gained with the world situation is not something you can pick up in a day. It takes years.

If you are so damned mad at Biden, write him and tell him how you feel. Or is it easier to yell at us?

[inthebrain]

103. Biden is not going to stand up to Bush

BECAUSE FUCKING BUSH WON"T BE IN FUCKING OFFICE!!!!!!!

Biden is not going to "clean up" after Bush either. He's one of the many reasons that asshole has gotten his way over the past 7 years.

Biden won't vote to defund the war. As a matter of fact, he uses right wing smear tactics against those in his party that fucking choose to do so. He called it "anti-troop".
This is Bidens plan for "ending the war"

<<<<<<4. Responsibly Drawdown US Troops

Direct U.S. military commanders to develop a plan to withdraw and re-deploy almost all U.S. forces from Iraq by the summer of 2008
Maintain in or near Iraq a small residual force -- perhaps 20,000 troops -- to strike any concentration of terrorists, help keep Iraq's neighbors honest and train its security forces>>>>>


Redeploying troops is not ending the war. It's more of the same.



Lastly; I don't come on here to yell at people, campaign for candidates and have pissing contests with sychophants. I'll have a little fun pointing out facts, while they flail about making ridiculous excuses for them, but that's about it. I don't really care to move anyone off of any candidate.

For the most part I think this party is offering voters a shit deal. Biden is no real alternative to Hillary, Obama or Edwards. As a matter of fact, on many issues (Especially foreign affairs which he's supposed to be "an expert") Biden has proven to be an absolute fuck up. His incompetence in these areas mirrors that of Bush and the Republicans.


I may point out that this guy is one of the reasons why Democrats have a difficult time securing loyalty from the left. He becomes the candidate I would expect a huge falling out. You may as well get it over with and nominate Lieberman.

[1corona4u]

78. Hey Kad, I wanted to ask you....

did you create that 1st video in your links? If so, it's totally wonderful, and very emotional. Thank you.

[kad7777]

90. Yes

I produced all of the three videos I usually post.
I'm glad you enjoyed "Joe Biden: An American President". If you support Joe, please email the link to everyone you know and ask them to do the same.
Best,
JDS

[Steely_Dan]

77. You Should Consider Decaf

The venom you are spewing towards another Democratic candidate is childish and unnecessary. Reducing yourself to name-calling and mud-slinging does not further the discussion.

I assume that you are an intelligent person. When you resort to this kind of tactic, you forfeit your credibility. You obviously have a lot of anger towards Biden. Might I suggest that you do not make decisions or evaluations under this condition. Often, it results in regret.

One of my favorite bumper stickers reads: "If you don't like abortion, by all means, don't have one."

Sir/Madam, if you do not like Biden, by all means do not vote for him. I wouldn't want you to. It almost sounds as if Biden becomes the Dem candidate, you either won't vote or you will vote for the Republican candidate.

Direct your venom and anger towards the current administration and their criminal activity. Your passion in this area would be greatly appreciated. But please, don't insult yourself and others by smearing a candidate who has dedicated his life to public service and (for the most part) walks the walk on behalf of our party.

-Paige

You remind me of the Anti-Hillary posters here. I am by no means a Hillary fan. However, I would NEVER disrespect my fellow DUers or Ms. Clinton by dragging them through the mud as you seem to delight in doing to Biden.

-P

[mrigirl]

88. In the Brain- after reading this dispicable post you've created

I'm appalled at your outright ignorance and rudeness from one medical professional to another. You're an embarrassment to our industry. Wake up and take the stupid blinders off and realize what we have at stake here during the next election. I hope you don't have this kind of ignorance at your job. Or anger for that matter. I wouldn't want you as my nurse, that's for sure!

[Steely_Dan]

96. Well Said n/t

[inthebrain]

101. You're a health care proffessional

and plan on voting for a guy who just screwed millions of Americans who struggle to pay their medical bills. I hope you're proud of that.

I wonder, given that you're a "fellow health care professional", does becoming a sycophant have any bearing on your judgement on the job?

It appears so.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with anger. It's a sing of maturity. Also considering that you're a healthcare professional one would expect that you would understand that.

Apparantly not.

What is an embarrassment to "our industry" is when one abandons critical thinking and becomes a sycophant. As is displayed here, it's obvious you don't have the fortitude to take on your fellow Biden supporters. Especially when one of them just refered to me as a "bed pan cleaner".

I wouldn't say I'm the one the problem here. It appears the Biden supporters on this board tend to enjoy the same anti-worker positions as our Republican counterparts.

[Basileus Basileon]

89. This is one of the weakest, most pathetic smears I've seen on DU. Knock it off.

[saltpoint]

97. Toggling through the day's posts on DU I happened upon a great one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3749986&mesg_id=3749986

--offered by DeepModem Mom.

With this one, for example, she's put up the kind of post I look forward to seeing on DU's boards. It is instructive, timely, pertinent to many interests, and not least it suggests a respectful path to the consideration of our candidates.

I'm a Democrat. I prefer the tone of the cited post on Biden to the tone set in this one.

[Freddie Stubbs]

104. Wow. A Senator recieves several contributions from employees of one of his state's largest employers

[Perry Logan]

107. You don't understand. Corporate donations are OK, unless they're for Hillary.

[ConfidentialStatus]

108. It's wake-up time

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Thomas Jefferson


"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question it's methods or throw light upon it's crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.. corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed.

Abraham Lincoln
