Obama:
"I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now."

   - Right now?  He left the door wide open to come back later, after a larger than usual gaffe, and say that was last April and things have changed  We need a substitution.

Yup. Joey Fingers is well past his electoral sell by date, and he's only going to deteriorate under scrutiny.

Obama Biden CDC preparedness cuts
« Reply #203 on: April 15, 2020, 07:21:23 AM »
Here are the cuts requested by the Obama-Biden administration for the CDC

FY 2013: $569 million
FY 2014: $270 million
FY 2015: $414 million
FY 2017: $251 million
Some of the cuts sought by Obama and Biden "specifically took aim at the CDC's preparedness initiatives." The Wall Street Journal reported in 2012 that "President Obama’s 2012 budget calls for paring some of that spending. Funding for a public health emergency preparedness program run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was cut by about $72 million below fiscal 2010 levels in the budget proposal."

Biden claimed during the February debate that the Obama-Biden administration increased the budgets for the CDC and NIH, but  Trump "wiped all that out. ... He cut the funding for the entire effort." But the budget cuts were rejected by Congress.

Joe Biden's repeated lies about Trump cutting the budgets were bad enough, but the fact that he and Obama repeatedly tried to cut the CDC's funding makes his lies even worse.
...
On many occasions, Democrats, including Biden, have falsely accused President Trump of slashing the CDC's budget. Biden has used these false claims to suggest that he would never even propose similar cuts, let alone make them. Fact checks from the Associated Press and FactCheck.org both proved the claims made by Biden and others to be wrong, because CDC funding actually increased during the Trump administration.

"Walsh is a vicious commie, so this isn’t a tremendous surprise.  And I am skeptical of Reade’s story, as well.  But wouldn’t testimony from someone who claims to have been told about the incident contemporaneously constitute evidence?  In fact, wouldn’t it be better evidence than Ford came up with about Kavanaugh?"

Wow, tough questioning!    (

I agree with Amy, don't believe all women.

The missing follow up:

What was it you liked about Blasey Ford's story  that Tara Reade doesn't have - besides attacking a Republican? 

What was it you liked about Chairman Biden's airing of Anita Hill's nothing of an allegation that Tara Reade doesn't have - besides attacking a Republican?

why cannot the man who always needs to prove what a tough journolist he is

ask Biden on his show
I am talking about chris wallace

these are the questions:

when were you born
what did you have for breakfast, dinner last night , lunch yesterday
what day is it
what month
what year
who is president 8 yrs ago
what season are we in
spell world backwards
count backwords from 100 by 7s
draw the face of a clock and with time of 10:45. (really screw em up and say PM only)
draw 3 D cube.  (this one usually gets em)

can throw in a couple more :

are you part native american indian
was america ever great
how long have you been paid as a government employee
what qualifies Michelle to be president

What if the people in the middle start getting Trump derangement fatigue and the Left has to run on its own ideas and agenda?  No fracking, no oil, no pipelines, no cars, no planes, no travel, no jobs, no houses, no borders, no economy, no colleges, no hospitals, no healthcare?  Even the ambulances and fire trucks would be shut down.  That may win with the base, but not the middle of the country.

Joe Biden, I'm starting to believe Tara Reade
« Reply #222 on: April 28, 2020, 06:37:41 AM »
Ok, we started with the hypocrisy test, if an allegation this old and hard to disprove were made against someone we liked, it would be unfair.

But they do it all the time and they tend to be false, like Blasey Ford.

Corroboration seems to be coming through.  The CNN call of the mother.  The story shared by a neighbor.

Look for the motive or bias.  The neighbor said she believed her, and she plans to vote for Biden.  That's a real Democrat.  Reade was a Biden supporter, and is further Left now if anything, not a Republican.  You don't make up a charge like this to take down Biden from the Left; there is plenty of other material.

The first report of the story lacked some details.  Those have been partly filled in, so to speak.

Kavanaugh, if that is the comparison, was a high school kid.  Biden, if he did this, was in a position of power over her.

The way the Biden campaign is handling this is right our of the Clinton playbook.  They are using their leverage to keep it from being asked, covered or printed. Missing is the full denial:  This didn't happen.  It couldn't have happened and the Senator has never touched another woman sexually or been unfaithful to his wife.

If that is all irrelevant, why do they talk about Trump that way.  He is disqualified for his past cheating and lack of morals, but Clinton, Gore, Edwards, Ted Kennedy, LBJ, MLK and JFK were all fine.

One corroboration is still missing.  A man who did this once, did this more than once.  Biden married Jill in 1977.  This story is from 1993.  The alleged attempt was to get Reade to go somewhere else for sex.  A cheater is a cheater.  If he expected a young staffer to go have sex with him, some other ones probably did.  If so, other staffers or other Senators know.  We will see if other stories emerge.  And if they do, then what?

Gen Y and Gen Z [whatever that means]are supporting Joe Biden for President.  He is qualified because he was Vice President, and also was a Senator for many years. 

I have a question from the time Biden was in Washington, who were the Vice Presidents of the United States during his first two years in the Senate?  [There were three.] Or during all his years in Washington?

Forget about Gen Y and Z, I wonder if Joe knows.

More on (moron) Biden, The Lies in the Denial
« Reply #229 on: April 30, 2020, 06:01:10 AM »
He will have the (bound) delegates to win the nomination on first ballot.  The buyers remorse on Biden should have happened a year ago.
----------------------------------------
This should have brought him down in 2008.  Nothing new can be proven now, even though he is lying and guilty (of something).

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/29/nolte-fact-checking-3-falsehoods-in-biden-campaigns-tara-reade-talking-points/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=daily&utm_campaign=20200429

Here is the full text of the Biden campaign's talking points, per the far-left BuzzFeed:
“Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed,” the talking points read, according to a copy sent to two Democratic operatives. “In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”

“Here’s the bottom line,” they read. “Vice President Joe Biden has spent over 40 years in public life: 36 years in the Senate; 7 Senate campaigns, 2 previous presidential runs, two vice presidential campaigns, and 8 years in the White House. There has never been a complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him — ever.”

CLAIM #1: The New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of Reade’s allegations.
False. We now know the Times did no such thing. A ton of corroborating evidence has been exposed since the Times released its sloppy “investigation,” which proves the Times was nothing close to thorough.

CLAIM #2: The Times’ reporting “has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”
False.  “Our investigation made no conclusion either way,” a Times spokesperson told BuzzFeed Wednesday morning.

CLAIM #3: There has never even been a “hint” or “rumor” of similar behavior from Biden “ever” in history.
False.  Tara Reade is the eighth woman — number eight! — to accuse Biden of misconduct.

See 2008 report...rumors and hints about Biden’s sexual misconduct have been around for more than a decade:
https://www.counterpunch.org/2008/08/23/quot-change-quot-quot-hope-quot-why-they-must-be-talking-about-joe-biden/
"is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc, nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the weeks immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident."

"He [Biden] will have the (bound) delegates to win the nomination on first ballot."
--------------------------------

John Hinderaker, Powerline:
"In the end, I believe he [Biden] has to consent to withdrawing from the race."

"The scenario I fear is that the Dems nominate Biden, the chatter about Reade grows, and the Dems go to Biden and tell him that to remain consistent on this issue they need to replace him. Confronted with a united front of party leaders, Biden resigns on grounds of health. So Reade ultimately helps the Democrats field a viable candidate–someone who is neither senile nor an open socialist."
---------------------------------
Why would the chatter grow after the convention?

That would still leave Democrats exactly where they started, with no time left, with no one who fits the bill to unite the party and win the center.  Plus all of the most prominent Democrats is the nation will have just gone on record saying what a great guy Joe Biden is - at the delayed, virtual convention in the Delaware basement.  That is the point where Joe thinks he survived this, like Trump survived the access hollywood tape.  Why would he resign then?

The obvious replacement if Biden steps down for any reason after the nomination is the already nominated VP pick, whom they all just went on record saying would make a great [Vice] President.  That gives Democrats an unexciting woman, Kamala or Klobuchar, with no real executive or foreign policy experience, who could not and did not win a single state on her own.  Not Hillary.  Not Michelle O.  Not some half-black fictional character of transformational hope and change ready to win the Nobel Peace Prize and apologize worldwide for the sins of America.  Just one of the cast of declining ratings that couldn't beat Beto, Bernie, Butti or Biden, whose own disappointing under-performance led to Slow Joe getting the nomination in the first place.

The USA piece is an interesting read and to my way of thinking supports my general principle that there comes a point where these things are just too fg old to be brought up.

Certainly the hypocrisy of the Progs is there for all to see, but the Reps seem to be playing this in a way that affirms the notion that it is suitable to bring stuff like this up 27 years later.

Not so sure about that.  Maybe make them live by our standards would be the better approach.

Biden Reade attack ad

Option 1. Republicans ignore the allegations or just write them off liks VP candidates Abrams and Klobee etc and / or stop the me too thing from   
                     being a run away festival for women to accuse anyone they don't like or or mad at. etc.   
                   
Option 2 :  we run attacks ads above  and  highlight the hypocrisy of the Left and make them think twice next time
                 they pull this crap ( to keep the me too thing  from going way over the top)

there are pros and cons of each

But we sure know which option  THE Donald will/has choose/chosen.

BTW Hill looks nice in light green....... :wink:

Biden's changing story on Osama bin Laden raid: Don't do it.
« Reply #242 on: May 02, 2020, 10:17:31 AM »
Barack Obama’s own secretary of defense said, "Joe Biden has been wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision in the last 40 years,”

We shouldn't pick on him too early because they'll dump him, but there is this:

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/01/bidens-position-on-osama-bin-laden-raid/

It was the only thing Pres Obama did right, and his Vice President' last advice in a go or no go decision was don't do it. 

Fair enough, but if the advice was good, why keep changing the story - and hiding the documents (archives at the Univ of Delaware)?  His advice could be "taken out of context".  No.  His advice will need explanation that he is unable to give.

Young vorters reject Biden
« Reply #245 on: May 04, 2020, 06:57:43 AM »
only 34 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 say they have a favorable view of the former vice president, with just 8 percent saying they have a “very favorable” opinion of Biden. In the same survey, 47 percent of young people said they have an unfavorable view of Biden.

I get that lots of people will vote for him, but how does anyone have a "very favorable" view of Biden?

Note: These numbers are before the attack campaigns begin.  It will get worse.

Two articles show the Biden VP dilemma
« Reply #246 on: May 04, 2020, 07:55:59 AM »
Democrats prefer Warren.  Progressives prefer Warren by a wide margin (and the enthusiasm deficit is one of Biden's biggest weaknesses).
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/495875-warren-is-democratic-voters-top-choice-for-biden-vp-poll

Another article says Kamala Harris is the do no harm choice (not true).  Interestingly, they tell the negatives of all the others:

"Klobuchar...personifies an electoral argument that the Biden campaign should expend most of its energy appealing to white, moderate Midwesterners, which stirs worry on the left that the interests of people of color and progressive activists will get sidelined. Plus, during the end of her presidential run, Klobuchar struggled to explain her role, while serving as Hennepin County Attorney, in the life sentence of a black teenager convicted of murder on scant evidence."
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/05/04/why_kamala_harris_is_the_do_no_harm_choice_for_vp_143103.html
-------------------
His choice of VP will signal his strategy, try to win the Left or try to win the middle.  The sad fact is none of these choices will solve any of Joe Biden's problems. 

Instead he wants to announce the entire cabinet so he can placate every identity group demand, which can't be done.  One will be President when Biden dies and the others won't.

Remember Sec. James Watt's career ending commission description:  "We have every kind of mix you can have. I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple.”

Biden would never make a 'gaffe' like that.
