Biden and Mikulski Make Bid for Women Voters

Good job Joe.Continue to hit them hard,because they put us and the rest of the world in this mess.Imagine! The best is yet to come.We are solidly behind you. Ride on the winning team.OBAMA/BIDEN 2008&2012

I’m a conservative Republican who voted for Sen. Clinton during the primary. I’m now a registered Independent now. I’m voting Obama. I was on fence until this week. The economy is my number one issue and McCain has demonstrated he has no plan for our economy.

Joe Biden is a straight talker. John McCain’s record has been as anti-women as any person currently in the Senate.
Take his opposition to the LILLY LEDBETTTER FAIR PAY ACT for example.
If you think deliberate, proven, sexual discrimination lawsuits should be dismissed because the evidence of discrimination has been hidden by the offender, then you should vote for John McCain.

you already want to impeach him?
where is the outrage against bush lol
wont impeach a war criminal who lied to the public and has caused the mess taht america is in today
but obama has got to go man!!!
lol
palin has used drugs should we get another impeachment petition for her too?
what about her ethics scandal? are you calling for a continuation of this controversy or asking for her to actually cooperate with the investigation like she said she would?
should we impeach her for all of her lies she has told on the campaign trail already?
should we impeach palin for not answering what branch of government the vp is in? biden says executive and yes thats the right answer, but they wouldnt say, ask cheney that same question, his answer will be eerily like palins
oh no though those are ok by you, those things arent very important to you, whats important is stopping this horrible horrible terrible man named obama
my god this obama guy is bad news he has GOT TO GO
pathetic republicans
go peach john mccain for being a terrible ineffective leader of the economic crisis and his inability to pick a vp that americans feel safe with and who isnt riddled full of scandal adn deception

what a great guy! I love Joe Biden.

republicans think that the government should stay out of regulating the market
were in a financial crisis because of the deregulation
republicans are such jackasses

Oh – that impeach post — hilarious! Those people are such a hoot!

Hey “willnotbefooled…” I think the correct term or process you are looking for is “recall” which is usually unsuccessful so good luck trying to get the House to bring that up for debate. Anyway, so your petition is stupid and you wasted your time. Bush was and is still worse in terms of his “lies and deception”, personal family connection to the Saudi Family, an oil man from Tx, lying to us about WMD…should I go on? For god’s sake he can’t even read from a teleprompter, yet he’s still hanging around. Lets say all of the allegations against Barack are true? I’d take that over any Republican led White House. And really – drugs…c’mon so what if Barack used drugs, who hasn’t? And what kind of drugs? Pot, nose candy? Who cares. I like a Politician with an edgy side. Wouldn’t that make him just like any other regular American? Like Palin, who’s a hockey mom?

I’m voting for Obama because he is intelligent, level-headed, and has a better grasp of our current economic crisis. Joe Biden was an excellent choice for VP based on his foreign policy experience. McCain and Palin have no clear plan for our economy and have lied numerous times throughout their campaign. I’m not interested in another 8 years of the “Bush” mentality.

Did you notice how many Obama supporters have tried to discredit Gov. Palin on ABC News blogs BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN? Palin served in more government capacities than Obama and has more relevant experience (8 years executive experience), but they say she doesn’t know what she is talking about?!
Obama supporters are saying in effect: “Oh don’t worry your pretty little head about these issues, Honey. Why don’t you go home and fix dinner for Todd and the kids.”
I guess the feminist supporters of Obama and the Democrats who are spewing this message believe women aren’t cabable of serving as president or vice president fo the U.S.

WILLNOTBEFOOLEDBYOBAMANATION,
Wake up and realize that you are the fool. What are you talking about? That is why the public school system needs an overhaul because people are not educated or informed and they fall for anything.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the DNC Platform Committee, endorsed John McCain for president.

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
“Impeach Senator Barack Obama”…

If you are looking for an impeachment hearing, head for Alaska after PALEN/McCAIN (yes, this is the real order) go down.
In the mean time keep posting this nonsense.
Kosinich has been trying to get BUSH impeached for about 6 years and gotten nowhere. AND BUSH DESERVES IT!!!

it continues to gall me that the GOP had the run of the table for 6 years and put us in the tank and are now claiming that it has been the democrats all along that are at fault for everything from 9/11 to this credit crisis. BTW this is an example of what happens in the free market the GOP advocates.

This is what week leaders do. They pass the buck. Strong leaders take responsibility and say “the buck stops here”. Strong leaders don’t throw people under the “straight-talk (NOT) express”

Mikulski is just angry because Palin is married and doesn’t cheat on her husband, so Barbara’s out in the cold. She’s also angry that Hillary didn’t make it. Looks like the lefties lose again.

Biden also hit out at McCain for voting against the Violence Against Women Act and proposing to privatize social security.
“Imagine if John McCain’s proposal to privatize and put the money in the market were in the bin today,” he told the crowd of 700. “Literally tens of thousands of elderly woman – women — would be in a desperate situation. More desperate than they already are.”
———————–
John McCAIN once told a joke about a women getting raped, not sure how the entire joke went but the punch line was something like “she should just lay back and enjoy it”. This man has done nothing to support women and his pick of PALEN was done out of desperation, as he thought he needed a “game changer” when he was down 8 points in the polls.

Sarah Palin is just a scam artist.
She is a nuisance…

Obama says…
“My definition of putting country first is making sure that we are safe, not hesitating to strike against our enemies.”
How?
“I will slow our development of future combat systems. ..I will not weaponize space ..and I will not develop new nuclear weapons..” – Obama 2008.
So, we’ll strike our enemies with hope.

Pretty Little Thing, Obama supporters are not trying to “discredit Gov. Palin because she is a women”. It has nothing to do with her being a women. There isn’t a women in the world who could have down a worse job than BUSH.
I’m voting against McCAIN/PALEN because I care deeply for women and I think they deserve far better than McCAIN/PALEN.
There are so many women that are more qualified than PALEN in the GOP.
My wife I believe is far more qualified and more intelligent than Palen. She is an Engineer with three degrees and is working on her fourth, mother of two, and full time employee, and travelled extensively and lived abroad.
Palen, on the other hand, has a degree in journalism, 21 months as a governor of the third least populous state and won Ms. Congenmiality twice.
No comparison, so don’t assume it has anything with Mrs. Palen’s gender.

A lot of concentration on PALEN and McDistraction, but do you really want this man (McCAIN) running the country?
From USA Today – From McCain, an erratic response to crisis
As Wall Street’s roller-coaster week unfolded, John McCain’s views on the economy went through about as many gyrations as the Dow Jones industrial average. Brace your neck for a quick recap.
Monday: Speaking at a rally in Jacksonville, McCain declares that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.” Coming as the Dow plunges more than 500 points and Lehman Bros. goes belly up, this makes McCain sound somewhat out of touch.
Tuesday: McCain explains that he meant to say American workers are fundamentally sound, and the economy itself is in “crisis.” But, he adds, this crisis does not warrant bailing out insurance giant American International Group, which should be allowed to fail. McCain adviser Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, unhelpfully opines that no one on either presidential ticket would be capable of running a company such as H-P.
Wednesday: After the government takes over AIG, McCain says the rescue was regrettable, but unavoidable.
Thursday: McCain, who over the years has described himself as a deregulator, recasts himself as a pro-regulation, anti-Wall Street populist. If he were president, he says, he’d fire Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox, a former Republican congressman confirmed by unanimous consent of the Senate in 2005.
…At this point…it looks as if cleaning up the economic mess will be the next president’s top priority. The Republican candidate’s erratic performance this week was far from reassuring.

Top two issues to women Health Care and the Economy.
Why Obama’s Health Care Plan is better -Real Clear Politics.
The big threat to growth in the next decade is not oil or food prices, but the rising cost of health care. The doubling of health insurance premiums since 2000 makes employers choose between cutting benefits and hiring fewer workers.
Rising health costs push total employment costs up and wages and benefits down. The result is lost profits and lost wages, in addition to pointless risk, insecurity and a flood of personal bankruptcies.
APSustained growth thus requires successful health-care reform. Barack Obama and John McCain propose to lead us in opposite directions — and the Obama direction is far superior.
Sen. Obama’s proposal will modernize our current system of employer- and government-provided health care, keeping what works well, and making the investments now that will lead to a more efficient medical system. He does this in five ways:
- Learning. One-third of medical costs go for services at best ineffective and at worst harmful. Fifty billion dollars will jump-start the long-overdue information revolution in health care to identify the best providers, treatments and patient management strategies.
- Rewarding. Doctors and hospitals today are paid for performing procedures, not for helping patients. Insurers make money by dumping sick patients, not by keeping people healthy. Mr. Obama proposes to base Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals and doctors on patient outcomes (lower cholesterol readings, made and kept follow-up appointments) in a coordinated effort to focus the entire payment system around better health, not just more care.
- Pooling. The Obama plan would give individuals and small firms the option of joining large insurance pools. With large patient pools, a few people incurring high medical costs will not topple the entire system, so insurers would no longer need to waste time, money and resources weeding out the healthy from the sick, and businesses and individuals would no longer have to subject themselves to that costly and stressful process.
- Preventing. In today’s health-care market, less than one dollar in 25 goes for prevention, even though preventive services — regular screenings and healthy lifestyle information — are among the most cost-effective medical services around. Guaranteeing access to preventive services will improve health and in many cases save money.
- Covering. Controlling long-run health-care costs requires removing the hidden expenses of the uninsured. The reforms described above will lower premiums by $2,500 for the typical family, allowing millions previously priced out of the market to afford insurance.
In addition, tax credits for those still unable to afford private coverage, and the option to buy in to the federal government’s benefits system, will ensure that all individuals have access to an affordable, portable alternative at a price they can afford.
Given the current inefficiencies in our system, the impact of the Obama plan will be profound. Besides the $2,500 savings in medical costs for the typical family, according to our research annual business-sector costs will fall by about $140 billion. Our figures suggest that decreasing employer costs by this amount will result in the expansion of employer-provided health insurance to 10 million previously uninsured people.
We know these savings are attainable: other countries have them today. We spend 40% more than other countries such as Canada and Switzeraland on health care — nearly $1 trillion — but our health outcomes are no better.
The lower cost of benefits will allow employers to hire some 90,000 low-wage workers currently without jobs because they are currently priced out of the market. It also would pull one and a half million more workers out of low-wage low-benefit and into high-wage high-benefit jobs. Workers currently locked into jobs because they fear losing their health benefits would be able to move to entrepreneurial jobs, or simply work part time.
In contrast, Sen. McCain, who constantly repeats his no-new-taxes promise on the campaign trail, proposes a big tax hike as the solution to our health-care crisis. His plan would raise taxes on workers who receive health benefits, with the idea of encouraging their employers to drop coverage. A study conducted by University of Michigan economist Tom Buchmueller and colleagues published in the journal Health Affairs suggests that the McCain tax hike will lead employers to drop coverage for over 20 million Americans.
What would happen to these people? Mr. McCain will give them a small tax credit, $5,000 for a family and $2,500 for an individual, and tell them to navigate the individual insurance market on their own.
For middle- and lower-income people, the credits are way too small. They are less than half the cost of policies today ($12,000 on average for a family), and are far below the 75% that most employers offering coverage contribute. Further, their value would erode over time, as the credit increases less rapidly than average premiums.
Those already sick are completely out of luck, as individual insurers are free to deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Mr. McCain has proposed a high-risk pool for the very sick, but has not put forward the money to make it work.
Even for those healthy enough to gain coverage in the individual insurance market, the screening, marketing and individual underwriting that insurers do to separate healthy from sick boosts premiums by 17% relative to employer-provided insurance, well beyond the help offered by the McCain tax credit.
The immediate consequences of the McCain plan are even worse. The McCain plan is a big tax increase on employers and workers. With the economy in recession, that’s the last thing America’s businesses need.
Finally, Mr. McCain does nothing to bend the curve of rising health-care costs downward. He does not fund investments in learning, rewarding and preventing. Eliminating state coverage requirements will slash preventive service availability.
The high cost-sharing plans he envisions will similarly discourage preventive care. And as he does nothing about the hidden costs of the uncovered — expensive ER visits, recurring conditions resulting from inadequate follow-up care.
Everyone agrees our health-care financing system must change. But only one candidate, Barack Obama, has real change we can believe in.

It took a fresh blood to clean up the mess from the first Bush.Now we have
another fresh blood to clean up the
McCain/Bush 8 years.The grand father and
the daughter can not and will not do it.
I can do it because i am a war hero and
Palin is a woman.What an insult

Obama has a long association of many unsavory characters including Rezko, Ayers, Khalidi, Auchi (Batcher, 2008) and his pastor Jeremiah Wright who tells his congregation to sing “God damn America” (ABCNews, 2008) (Fox, 2008)
Why are you still on that crap? That’s over with. Sorry you hate soooo….much
GET OVER IT!

Hey, I missed the part of Sandra Bernhard calling for Sarah Palin to be gang raped by blacks. Was that part of Obama’s message, because he did not denounce it.

Understand this, women voters…
If the Obama/Biden/Axelrod machine manages to seize power in November, any chance for Hillary Clinton to run in 2012 is over.
Repeating…An Obama win in November effectively ends any chance for Hillary Clinton to run in 2012.
On the other hand, if McCain/Palin are elected in November, Hillary Clinton will most certainly run again in 2012 and would be a front runner for the nomination.
Anybody But Obama…

Senator Joe Biden proudly proclaims that he was beaten with impunity by his sister as a youth. This is the same sister that raised his two sons after his wife and daughter were killed in an auto accident.
Biden has often claimed that the Violence against Women Act is the greatest achievement of his career. Yet he fails to recognize the role women play as perpetrators of violence against men and children. Hundreds of studies show that women commit acts of domestic violence as often as, or more often than men. Many studies show that lesbian women physically attack their intimate partners at least as often as heterosexual men. It’s also a well established fact that a child is more likely to be killed by the mother than by the father, a neighbor, an acquaintance, a stranger or a sex offender.
As a result of Biden’s Violence against Women Act, the federal government pays states to create laws effectively requiring that innocent men be removed from their homes and families without even an allegation of violence, with no legitimate standards of evidence, when a woman makes a claim that she is afraid.
Elaine Epstein, president of the Massachusetts Bar Association (1999), has said “the facts have become irrelevant… restraining orders are granted to virtually all who apply. Regarding divorce cases, she states “allegations of abuse are now used for tactical advantage”. According to Epstein, who is also a former president of the Massachusetts Women’s Bar Association, restraining orders are doled out “like candy” and “in virtually all cases, no notice, meaningful hearing, or impartial weighing of evidence is to be had.”
State restraining order laws are starting to fall because they’re unconstitutional. The federal law behind them, written by Joe Biden, is likely to fall as well, not because it isn’t popular, but because it is clearly unconstitutional.
There is a rapidly growing activist community dedicated to addressing this issue. One of the focal points of this community is the Glenn Sacks blog, http://www.glennsacks.com .

Here are some of the facts regarding Biden’s abuse at the hand of his sister. During senate hearings held on December 11, 1990, Biden testified to the abuse.
Senate Hearing Transcript:
http://thenononsenseman.com/Media/BidenViolenceSenateHearing_1990.pdf

Jayhawk – Women voters do understand it is of vital importance to elect Obama/Biden this year. Your post assumes we want to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. Right now, we need to put food on the table, gas, in our cars, give our kids a good education and hopefully not have to work 3 jobs to do it. Most women are not going to sign up for 4 more years of misery. Unemployment rates and our national debt at an all time high. We would be stupid to sign up for four more years of this nonsense under McCain/Palin.

Joe — he is a blowhard…and FAKE!
“I alwasy dreamed of being in the Football Hall of Fame when I was kid?”
Lie — the Football Hall of Fame didn’t open until was Joe was 21.
He believes in being Patriotic –
He played football …. but somehow was 4F for the draft. Prior to being 4F he got student deferments.
In college he got an “A” in PE, but an “F” in ROTC. How can you flunk ROTC??
He bragged he graduated at the top of his class in law school…76th out of 85 is not at the top of his law class.
He so so generous — his tax returns for the past 10 years so he has donated less than a $1000 over 10 years to charity.

BARACK OBAMA NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
Joe Biden is a man of integrity and together with Barack Obama they will fight for all Americans.
CHANGE WE NEED!

Paige: Who cares about interviews. You don’t need to know Palin’s business. She is campaigning, drawing thousand’s of crowds and that’s all you need to know. Silence is golden of didn’t you know? The less people know about you the better you are. Get a life. Learn the facts.

Amy: Are you smoking what Obama is? There is nothing wrong with the economy. The problem lies with most of this generation that likes good times and high living. People are driving all over the city of Chicago, and their shopping carts are filled to the top. The trouble with families today is they don’t budget their money. Buy only what you need. Foreclosures are the fault of the Banks and the buyer’s themselves. If you don’t have 30 to 40% to put down don’t buy. Rent. Lehman Brothers are their own destuction. Wrong decisions made the down fall. Executives salaries are out of control. People that don’t have a big income coming in can’t live like the rich with a beer pocket.

Norman: You are right about that. Obama is a good wheeler dealer and learned the tricks of the trade from Rezko, Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright and Father P. All from the southside of Chicago. Rezko bought Obama that house because Obama covered up for Rezko’s shady deals. Now Obama doesn’t want anything to do with him but he is also involved with those deals. The courts should have called him in to testify. The courts were afraid to call him because he was campaigning for the presidency and they didn’t want to be called racist. That’s the trouble with the blacks today. Everything is racial. Well, black is black and white is white and it shouldn’t matter what race you are. If your wrong your wrong. Hopefully McCain wins the election so we can send Obama back to the senate seat he won only because he played dirty pool against the woman running for the senate. He is the worst underhanded candidate this country ever had.

Ernie: How about the attacks that Obama made against Hillary? This is a dog eat dog campaign so get use to it. I would do the same as McCain if I was running. If Obama can’t take the heat he there’s room at the North Pole. This is what campaigns are all about. And Obama made plenty of attacks against Hillary. Not only did he make attacks, he went with Nancy and Dean to convince the superdelegates to switch their vote to him. He is the worst underhanded candidate that ever ran for office.
