Well, Joe Biden’s at it again. He gave a red meat speech in Toledo, Ohio last week to 500 United Auto Workers at their union hall. An Associated Press story which appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer was headlined “Biden Pulls No Punches About GOP.” A better title would have been “Biden Hits GOP Below the Belt.”
For example, Biden in referring to the Republican Presidential candidates said “If you give any one of these guys the keys to the White House, they will bankrupt the middle class.” What a crock. If anyone is endangering the middle class, it’s the Obama Administration. Gas prices through the roof, yet killing the Keystone pipeline. Unemployment still over 8%. Obamacare and trillions of dollars in new debt smothering the economy like a wet blanket.
Biden even had the audacity to say (apparently with a straight face) that “We’re about promoting the private sector.” Was Solyndra about promoting the private sector? How about all those new regulations crippling the private sector? And all those new government czars – hard to describe them as being in the private sector.
The Associated Press story interestingly referred to Biden as the campaign “enforcer.” I would submit a more accurate label might be campaign “hatchet man.” Lashing out at Republicans for allegedly wanting to “bankrupt the middle class” is as low a blow, and just as ridiculous, as the latest Democrat talking-point that Republicans are supposedly engaged in a “war against women.” If you want to talk about a war on women, take a look at some of the comments of liberal comedian Bill Maher (who recently contributed $1 million to the Obama/Biden campaign.)
Fortunately, the American people are not likely to be fooled again by the claptrap coming from Joe Biden, or from the Obama re-election machine, or from misogynist Bill Maher for that matter. They have suffered far too much under an Administration that’s focused on one thing only – getting itself re-elected. And though Republican and independent voters may at times feel frustrated, disgruntled, and even disheartened during this long, drawn-out, Republican Presidential primary process (particularly when the Republican Presidential candidates are directing so much of their firepower at each other rather than at Obama) once a Republican presidential candidate is chosen, the Obama/Biden ticket will have to defend its own record to hold onto power. And with such a poor record, their hold on power in my opinion, is tenuous at best.
Remember in November.
