Biden Releases Tax Returns

You need to give the REAL info.
BIDEN wants to get rid of AMT for people earning his wage level – probably because he had to pay AMT.
BIDEN pays little taxes as a % of his salary.
What a disgrace and hypocrite. Wants AMT gone so he can pay less in taxes.

We are still waiting for the McCains and Palins to release theirs.
None of the Democrats had to be asked including Hillary Clinton.
We understand that some interesting property has been discovered that the Palins have been hiding in their chum’s company.

Bush appointed Republican Minerals Management Service employees frequently consumed alcohol at industry functions, had used cocaine and marijuana, and had sexual relationships with oil and natural gas company representatives.
The MMS scandal gives new Meaning to the GOP mantra “Drill Baby Drill.”

I don’t need to see anybody’s tax returns. I trust they are legit or they’d be in trouble with the IRS. This seems to be a distraction tactic of the Obama people to stray from the real issues–such as, how is America going to be SAFE with Obama unloading our defense weapons in a dangerous world?

I’m deeply concerned about Palin’s desire to ban books and then trying to fire the librarian who disagreed with her. The President should get to tell me what I can read and what I can’t. Will she be outlawing the Koran?

Under $1000 to charity…0.0031% of his AGI!
Not even any Katrina-related donations in 2005!
Probably didn’t even shell out $5 after The Messiah sent out his Gustav text message.

McSame voted with Bush 91% of the Time… NO CHANGE THERE!
McSame employs 134 Lobyests on his campaing…. NO CHANGE THERE!
McSame has the soon to be indicted Carl Rove working for him …. NO CHANGE THERE!

There were more Republican Officials indicted under bush than any other administration by over 10 times…. Hypocracy and corruption run wild.
McSame & Book Banning Caribou Barbie offers much of the same policies and people

Steve, you might want to save your cheap shot critism of donations to charity until after Ms. Palin and her husband have released their tax returns. As candidates for public office they will be required to do so. Living in the part of the country the Bidens live in has a high cost of living base and $250,000.00 is not a lot of money. They are not considered wealthy by any means in that part of the US.

Let me guess, GOP and backers, “Leave her alone, stop pressuring her to release her tax forms. This is so sexist, the media would never ask this of Obama’s cousin, wanh wanh wanh”
Republican campaign is A joke…open your eyes folks

McCain’s Own Words:
“I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”

$320,000 in income in 2007. Less than $1,000 to charity…
Thanks Joe!

Hey, you might want to check http://unbearablebobness.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/08/governor-sarah-palin-quotes.html
Some people believe everything they read, as long it is what they want to believe. I think you have just proven that Barnum was right.

When is Biden going to release his resignation letter.
Babycakes has been begging for Hillary to please be VP.
He and Bill started the vetting process…they worked it out.
I hope Hillary says no!

LOL..what a putz

I hope Biden will show his law degree that he bribed out of Syracuse University thanks to daddy’s money.
—————————————
Bidens dad had money the way Palin has intellect.

While I am not surprised to see the Obamabots try to change the subject from the questionable activity of Old Joe Biden, we all need to know more about the 3rd most liberal, left-wing Senator from Delaware:
“A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups.
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign said Biden helped forge a bipartisan compromise on the measure, which is now law and makes it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts.
MBNA’s consulting payments to Hunter Biden, first reported by The New York Times, followed his departure in 2001 from the company, where he had been an executive.
Obama opposed the bankruptcy law, enacted in 2005, while Biden supported it.
David Wade, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said that ‘after working in the Clinton administration in the Department of Commerce on Internet privacy and online commerce issues, Hunter consulted for five years as an expert on these very same issues at a time of enormous expansion in online banking.’
At the time Hunter Biden was receiving consulting payments from MBNA, he also was a Washington lobbyist at a firm he had co-founded.
‘He was not a lobbyist for MBNA, and his work had absolutely nothing to do with the bankruptcy bill. Zero. Nothing,’ said Wade.
Resurrecting Biden’s role in the bankruptcy legislation could undercut one of the Obama campaign’s lines of attack: That his Republican opponent, John McCain, is insensitive to the financial woes of middle-class Americans.
Consumer and civil rights groups and unions, as well as Democratic opponents, had argued that the bankruptcy legislation was unfair to low-income working people, single mothers, minorities and the elderly, and would remove a safety net for those who have lost their jobs or face mounting medical bills.
The financial services industry made the case that bankruptcy frequently is a refuge of gamblers, impulsive shoppers, divorced or separated fathers avoiding child support, and multimillionaires who buy mansions in states with liberal exemptions to shelter assets from creditors.
When the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill early in 2005, Biden, Dianne Feinstein of California and Herb Kohl of Wisconsin were the only Democrats to vote with the Republican majority. Biden also voted for the bill on final passage in the Senate, while Obama voted against it.
MBNA employees have poured more than $200,000 into Biden’s Senate campaigns over the past two decades, making donors working for the credit card company the senator’s largest source of campaign money.
In a separate matter in which Hunter Biden’s lobbying activities were referenced, he and Biden’s brother Jim have been sued for allegedly defrauding an ex-business partner.
In the lawsuit filed last year in state court in New York, Anthony Lotito says that he got a call from Jim Biden in early 2006 saying that Sen. Biden was concerned with the impact that Hunter’s lobbying activities might have on the senator’s expected campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
According to the lawsuit, Jim Biden said his brother had asked him to seek Lotito’s assistance in finding employment for Hunter in a non-lobbying capacity.
The lawsuit says that Lotito later was cut out of a business arrangement with Jim and Hunter Biden to purchase a Wall Street hedge fund. (AP)”

And, perhaps with all the Obama generated flap about the “Bridge to Nowhere,” we should learn a little more about Obama’s and Biden’s connection to the earmarks that would have paid for the bridge:
Before Team Obama continues its attacks on Sarah Palin for at one point voicing some general support for the Bridge to Nowhere, the presidential hopeful has some explaining to do.
Let the record show that Barack Obama himself voted for the bridge at least twice, as did his running mate Joe Biden.
If Team Obama is to continue to point out that Palin was for the bridge before she was against it, they either must explain why Obama and Biden never denounced the project or, on the other hand, describe why they were in error for supporting it.
At the moment the Obama campaign is playing a dangerous game of gotcha, since the record shows both Obama and Biden to be solidly behind the most visible symbol of wasteful spending in Washington.
The earmark for the Bridge to Nowhere originally appeared in the now-infamous highway bill of 2005.
That bill included $24 billion in pork-barrel earmarks and will end up costing taxpayers a reckless $286.5 billion over six years.
It passed on a 91-4 vote in the U.S. Senate on July 29, 2005, with Sen. John McCain standing in opposition along with three other lonely voices for fiscal responsibility.
Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden both voted for the bill and its bridge of ill repute.
The Senate got another chance to stop the bridge on October 20, 2005, when it voted on an amendment offered by Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn that would have redirected the funds from the bridge to New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina relief.
By then the grassroots outrage against the bridge was beginning to take hold and there was a good amount of pressure on the Senate to adopt the amendment.
About a month later the Senate Appropriations Committee removed the earmarking language for the bridge from that year’s transportation appropriations bill, in effect leaving funding for the bridge intact but allowing the state of Alaska to decide whether or not to proceed with the project.
In an amendment sponsored by Rep. Mark Kirk of Illinois, the House passed strong language on June 7, 2006, that actually prohibited federal funds from being used on the bridge.
The Senate, however, never took up the matter, and the ball was passed to Alaska.
Frank Murkowski, the governor of Alaska at that time, was clear about his intentions.
He said through a spokesperson, “We don’t know what the next governor is going to do, but we believe it’s appropriate to move forward on the project.
It’s something we’ve been trying to get moved forward for the last four years.”
Murkowski’s last budget included a $91 million down-payment on the bridge, the most available to him under state-federal funding formulas.
This set the planning process in motion for the bridge and appeared to lock future Gov. Sarah Palin (who upended Murkowski in the Republican primary) into building the bridge.
A New York Times article on March 6, 2007, titled “Alaskan Bridge Projects Resist Earmarks Purge,” bemoaned the fact that the bridge would still likely be built because of Alaska pork-barrel politics.
The Times apparently assumed that Palin would buckle under pressure from Sen. Stevens, just as Obama, Biden, and most of the U.S. Senate had done.
The Times authors must have been surprised when Palin stood up to Stevens and pulled the plug on the bridge on September 20, 2007.
So the facts are plain. When it mattered, Gov. Palin stood up to Sen. Stevens and dealt the Bridge to Nowhere its death blow.
This is something the U.S. Congress and senators Obama and Biden failed to do on multiple occasions.
And while it’s true that John McCain, unlike his running mate, has always opposed pork-barrel earmarks, Sarah Palin, unlike Obama and Biden, did the right thing when it counted most and stopped an egregious example of earmark abuse.
And now, of course, Palin has joined McCain in calling for an end to earmarks.
Isn’t it better to come around to the right position than to keep on being wrong?
Anybody But Obama…

TWO GOOD REASONS OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED:
1. BARACK OBAMA IS A CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR. HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION THAN ANY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THIS YEAR AND MORE THAN ANY PRESIDENT SHOULD EVER KNOW!
2. JOE BIDEN IS POOR. THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN RUN A FUNCTIONING GOVERNMENT WITH SOMEBODY OTHER THAN A FILTHY RICH MAN WHO AT LEAST OWNS MORE THAN ONE HOUSE!
THIS MESSAGE WAS PAID FOR BY BY THE LEAGUE-OF-RICH-WHITE-WARMONGERING-DRILL-BABY-DRILL-IDIOT-COMMITTEE!

What’s in Gov. Palin’s tax returns? Did she report her and her family’s travel allowances correctly?

obama and biden have both released tax returns back to year 2000. palin will release hers “on our time table.” the mccain camp says if biden wants transparency he will “release his earmarks in his time in the senate.” aren’t these public record? is the mccain team too lazy to look it up and report it for us or are they just addicted to the power of innuendo? if you don’t believe this is just an execrable, dishonest diversion, then i’ve got a bridge to nowhere to sell you.

How much money did YOU give to your Mother, sister or neighbor in need, DIAMOND LOU, much less to a Charity?
Charitable people usually DON’T give to Charities as they give everyday without counting the cost.
I am pretty sure the Bidens have given out of pocket contributions to so many individuals that it would be hard to summarize.
I myself have never given to a CHARITY, but there are children I have sent to school, old people I have fed, bus fares produced, gas money given, contributions made to my fellow man without adding it all up. That is my duty and I am happy to do it. I don’t need YOUR approval, and I don’t need a tax rebate.
