Obama-Biden War-Funding Split Draws Fire

Let the GOP go after Biden, or whomever Obama picks. They can expect the same, but even more forceful when McCain picks his vp.

Biden vs. Romney
No contest. Biden would out shine Romney in any debate.
Obama08

ahhhh duh!!! its politics people. BOTH parties are going to attack the other on the v.p selection. kind of a pointless talking point. it would make sense that obama picks a more conservative running mate though. he definately needs to do that.

ya know the funny thing to me though.. think about this for a second, and tell me if it really makes any sense… whoever he picks for his v.p is going to have ALOT more experience than him!! i guess it just seems weird to me. the dems wouldnt give biden a chance in hell of becomming their presedential canidate, so they pick some die hard leftie with no experience to be their guy and now will choose biden as his v.p??!! it just dosnt make any sense at all to me.

McCain’s Bundler benhind Obama Ayers ad
The spokesman for the American Issues Project, the independent group whose ad is the most negative of the cycle and links Obama to terrorism, says the group just filed a report naming its sole donor.
The donor, spokesman Christian Pinkston said, is Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, who made his first fortune in chain pharmacies and is now listed as the 73rd richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $2.1 billion.
Simmons, a major Republican donor, gave maximum $2,300 contributions to Senator John McCain last year, as well as to former Governor Mitt Romney and to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
He’s listed as a bundler for the McCain campaign on McCain’s website, which says he’s raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for the Republican candidate.
He’s also contributed to Rep. Chet Edwards, the Texas Democrat who has been mentioned as a possible Obama running mate.
Simmons was reportedly a major donor to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in 2004.
He’s also a backer of a controversial plan to store nuclear waste in West Texas, which his waste management company would administer.

The Bush legacy might be more aid for Africa and AIDs mitigation than any other administration and No Child Left Behind. Individual schools, despite poverty levels and immigrants, have to meet reading, writing and math standards. That’s a very good thing for the poor rather than the previous approach that warehoused those kids.

How car about the GOP attaches on Joe Biden. He is the best for the job. They are trying to make Obama choice Hillliary because they will have a field day with the Clintons.

I can not believe admits they will come out and attack Job Biden. GOP IS ATTACK WORRIERS. THEY DON’T CARE THE ECONOMY IS A MESS BECASUE OF WARS WE are fighting for lies of the Bush Administration!

tim – The Republician are in bed with character attaches. It is their specialty!

Only reason Mccain will do this – is because Cindy has warned him that if he doesn’t win the White House she will divorce him. That is the only house she does not have yet added to her collection.
LOL

I can not believe the GOP admits they will come out and attack Job Biden. GOP IS ATTACK WORRIERS. THEY DON’T CARE THE ECONOMY IS A MESS BECASUE OF WARS WE are fighting for lies of the Bush Administration!

i think biden is very capable of dealing with the repubs—it would be entertaining to see biden kick butt

BKMC, Have you noticed that ever since the Dems got control of Congress things have been going to hell? Their prohibition of new drilling, restrictions on oil shale or nuclear and reliance on alternatives such as ethanol has driven up the price of oil. Gas has gone up as a result as well as food throughout the world. Higher gas prices drove up inflation. They screwed up more in 2 yrs than any other Congress in history.
They can’t even pass any spending bills!
If they get a veto proof Congress they will drive the US down so low we will look back at today as the good old days!

Obama needs to pick a VP who is above his paygrade.

Why don’t we just cut spending to reduce our debt? JM is the ONLY candidate who wants to cut the biggest subsidy (farm subsidies). Too bad the Dems won’t help us in fixing that problem. Why don’t we lower gas prices by just drilling for oil, develop oil shale, wind, geo and solar and use nuclear like France? If only the Dems would help in allowing us to solve the problem. This would also create jobs, lower inflation, improve our trade deficit and increase the value of the dollar. Why won’t those Dems help?

Obama a junior senator has requested $750M on earmarks and has recorded $97M on pork projects last year including a $1M for Michelle’s employer, University of Chicago Hospital…

Tom wasn’t it a Dem Congress that not only funded the war to Jan but to June of next year? Didn’t they give him even more than he requested?

davei n lv—- yes because they were lied to when they knew that they have been doing what they can, except the republican ones they still keep lying to america and being so bull headed they cant admit they were wrong. and mccain is almost as bad as bush.

Hey, Guess what? They’d attack whoever Obama picked. If Joe Biden is the pick, the American public isn’t going to give a damn about how he voted on war funding.

Don’t trust Obama….trust McCain to put county first, not his oversized ego for being the first whatever.
Obama was on tape yeserday saying something about the timing of “announcing to the world”! Obama’s ego is world sized. McCain would never say that. NEVER OBAMA!
McCAIN ’08/HILLARY ’12

Can some of you rediculeous people stop saying Bush lied? go ahead and post your comments on how inexperience Obama is and all that but get over with Bush lied tactic it is stupid. I can’t see how he lied and still stays in office. Oh what, becuase the Dem congress is so nice to him? I’m sorry maybe because I did not used liberal comment sense.

The war is not an issue now, Troops start coming home next June and most out by 2011, so Economy is front and center. McCain needs to pick someone strong here, or as I just heard on cable, a woman that would pull all the Hillary supporters who are pissed off. I forget her name, but I’ll rewatch tonight….I don’t think McCain will.
He has my vote either way.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

debra–tell me why when obama and hillary are identical in policies and ideals…will you vote for a bush clone.

Biden vs. Lieberman. Now there would be a debate. Those two go back years together in the Democratic party.
Lieberman votes consistently with the Democrats on almost every issue other then Iraq. That would be interesting how that would work with those two debating one another. Personally, I think it will be Chet Edwards and I think he could potentially be a better pick then Obama. A conservative Democrat who would challenge Obama.

I love how liberals try and bash so called “mean spirited” Republicans as hippocrites who go to church but don’t practice a godly version of love.
Who is a liberal to talk when they support the murder of the children that God loves so much aka the “least of these”. How about the Democrats addicting whole generations of black and hispanic Americans to government welfare so that they can be assured their vote in elections. How about decimating the entire black race by advocating “safe sex” out of marriage and no fault divorce causing 2/3 of all blacks children to be born to no father. How about advocating the so called plight of single parents instead of telling kids that single parenthood is the single largest cause of poverty in America. How about decimating the family further by advocating that gay people marry instead of recieve treatment so they can be procreative members of society. How about advocate for millions of poor hispanics to ignore the soveriegnty of our country sending us into bankruptcy much like California is in today?
So what would Jesus do?

The GOP is so desperate and pathetic that it’s gotten hilarious. Biden as V.P. doesn’t mean Obama isn’t read to be president.
Aren’t most calling for McCain to choose Romney to cover up McCain’s idiocy on the economy?

1.The economy is a mess since mid 2007- not because of the Bush economic policies whih haven’t changed, but because we were stupid enough to fgive control of the Congress to the Democrats who took over in 1-2007. When they failed to screw up the Iraq war, they turned on the economy and succeeded in screwing it up.NOW THAT’S CHANGE DEMOCRAT STYLE!
2.The Republican’s have their “Attack Machine” and are mean spirited. How do I know? The Democrat Ministry of Propaganda told me so!
1.If you liked the Schutzstaffel (SS) or Geheime Statzpolitzei (Gestapo), you will love Obama’s Civilian Security Force.– Don’t like the allusion to the German Fascists then how about the Soviet Committee for State Security (KGB). Totalitarianism is the same no matter what the political system. you thought the Patriot Act infringes on your civil rights. Wait until Barak’s version is set up here in the US.

I love how liberals try and bash so called “mean spirited” Republicans as hippocrites who go to church but don’t practice a godly version of love. SO SO TRUE!! What they don’t do is practice with they preach.
They are mean and hatefull.

Liberals are still harping on the iraq war being bush’s—you liberals fail to remember that it was voted on by congress to go ahead. And if based on lies, why do they not vote to stop it? Inconvenient details, right? I still want to see a valid birth certificate from barack hussein obama.

SearamblerOne: I think your wrong. The republicans are not afraid of big mouth Biden because I understand his mouth got him in trouble before. Obama is a no nothing, do nothing and says nothing that’s the reason for his picking Biden because Biden has the experience that Obama didn’t learn yet. However, McCain has just as much experience as Biden plus if the majority of Hillary’s supporters bypass why Hillary says and votes for McCain Obama will definately lose the election. Thank god.

Vanessa:
Biden couldn’t “outshine a dull penny!
The debates should be between
Biden and Obama!
Obama was against going to war against
Iraq and Biden voted for it!
Biden’s claims that Obama was not
experienced enough to be president
against Obama’s thin resume!
They did however agree on on thing and that was their opposition to the
troop “surge” in Iraq!
They were and are both wrong on this
issue! So much for Biden’s foreign policy expertise!
Just Say No to Obama! No You Can’t!

Why is it when the GOP uses Obama’s OWN WORDS or video of him speaking those words, or his actual voting record – those are viewed as attacks, but when the Dems air ads talking about how, if Republicans get elected, black churches will burn – that’s not considered an attack? (BTW, after Bush was elected, we didn’t have an epidemic of black church burnings.)
The reality is that if you read Obama’s OWN BOOKS – “Dreams from my Father” and “Audacity of Hope” you will find some very questionable stuff. I read those books because I was genuinely curious about who this guy was – I was sorta excited to see a non-white running and wanted to learn more about him. But after reading his own books, and examining his voting record, I’ve decided he’s quite different from the image the media has given us.
I would challenge people who support Obama to actually read his books, look up his voting record in the Illinois Senate, listen to him defend his vote against the Born Alive Infants Act back in 2002, etc. If people actually looked at Obama objectively, they would realize he is not a perfect candidate by any stretch.
If you want to call me names for asking you to actually read his books and look at his record – then what you are really saying is that you want people to blindly follow the man.

Obama is brilliant and he inspires others to go after the deep changes we all need. His policies will help the middle class begin to come back. Between 1946-1976 the bottom 90% of Americans saw an increase of income of 64%. The top 1% of Americans saw an increase of 20%. Between 1976-2006 the bottom 90% of Americans increased 10% and the top 1% saw an increase in income of 232%. READ IT AGAIN!!! 232%!!! The republicans have held the White House for 20 out of the last 28 years. They did this to you. If you are in the top 1% of the richest people in the country, you should vote for McCain if you don’t care anything at all for your fellow Americans. All the rest of us should stop being patsies. If we let them keep this up, our lives will be a lot worse 10 or 20 years from now. This is what happens when big money buys elections and Senate votes. Tax laws and loops holes have created an America that has the widest gap between the rich and poor of any western developed country in the world. The republicans are trying to turn America into Mexico. Vote smart or prepare to become peons who bow to the patrons!

Throught the Bush tax cuts the bottom 50% of all US taxpayers paid a whopping 3% of all income taxes. The tax cuts have caused the “rich” people paying their highest percentage of income taxes received ever. At the same time tax revenues have hit all time highs.
The Dem solution is to tax as much as possible and give it to “deserving groups” with an ideal that everyone gets the same income and everyone has the same assets. The receivers then become dependent more upon government handouts than in earning money through hard work and saving. Doesn’t that sound similar to communism? The Dems tell you people in general are dumb. Too dumb to plan for retirement. Too dumb to save on their own. Too dumb to plan for their healthcare. Too dumb to find a job without government assistance. Oh, and beware of the bogeymen, those rich people and evil corporations who are holding you back.
The Rep solution is to lower taxes for everyone and allow them to keep more of their money to spend as they wish. They want everyone to improve their lot through hard work and saving and hopefully to one day becoming rich themselves. They believe in freedom and peoples right to choose.
Time after time history has shown economies based upon the Dem philosophy fail and the Reps flourish.
