Biden, the Class Clown for the Democrats

Other than smirking, giggling up his sleeve, gesticulating in a wild fashion, interrupting both Congressman Ryan and the moderator (who also interrupted Ryan), and, generally, acting like the class clown, what did Biden do in the VP debate?

 

Well, he lied.  What a surprise.

Once again, Joe Biden lied his way through a Vice Presidential debate–just as he did in his contest with Sarah Palin in 2008. This time, the media caught a few of Biden’s worst “malarkey” moments–as did his opponent, Paul Ryan, when he could get a word in edgewise.

Here are the top ten worst lies told by Biden during the debate:

10. “With all due respect, that’s a bunch of malarkey….not a single thing he said is accurate.” At the outset of the debate, Biden tried to paint Ryan as a liar–when Biden, in fact, was the one lying. Ryan had pointed out: 1) that the White House had distanced itself from the Cairo embassy’s apologies on 9/11; 2) that Obama had failed to speak up for Iranian protestors in 2009; 3) that the Obama administration called Syria’s dictator a “reformer”; 4) and that the Obama administration is imposing defense cuts and projecting weakness. All of that is true.

9. “The president has met with Bibi [Netanyahu] a dozen times….This is a bunch of stuff.” While they have met several times–not a dozen–that includes a meeting at which Obama made the Israeli prime minister enter the White House through a back entrance, refused to take a picture with him, and left him on his own for dinner. Specifically, Ryan had criticized Obama’s refusal to meet Netanyahu in New York last month, and to tape talk show interviews instead–a clear snub that sent the wrong signal, again, to Israel’s enemies.

8. “Just let the taxes expire like they’re supposed to on those millionaires.” Biden’s “millionaires” are actually households earning more than $250,000 a year, which includes many middle-class families with two earners, and small business owners in particular who report business earnings as personal income. Biden and Obama have repeatedly labeled those earning over $250,000 as “millionaires and billionaires,” distorting the actual impact of their tax plan on the non-millionaires it would hit hardest, who create a vast proportion of small business jobs.

7. “You know, I heard that death panel argument from Sarah Palin. It seems that every vice presidential debate, I hear this kind of stuff about panels.” Biden’s cheap shot against Palin was an attempt to diminish both her and the man sitting across from him. But Palin never talked about “death panels” in her debate with Biden, for the simple reason that Obamacare had not yet been proposed. Nor did Ryan mention “death panels”–he had addressed the undeniable fact that Obamacare proposes a board to impose cost controls.

6. “The congressman here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for.” Biden’s lie about Ryan’s budget was an attempt to dodge responsibility for lax embassy security–and to cover up that the Obama called for new cuts to embassy security just days after the 9/11 attacks. Ryan’s proposal, which called for a 19% overall decrease in non-defense discretionary spending, does not even mention embassy security–the Obama campaign merely made up that number by applying 19% across the board.

5. “No, they are not four years closer to a nuclear weapon.” Biden’s attempt to lie about the glaring reality of the Iranian nuclear program fell flat. Iran is indeed four years closer to a nuclear weapon, and the Obama administration–believing it knew better than its predecessors–tried to reinvent the wheel on talks with Iran, causing frustration to our allies in Europe and the Middle East. Meeting after meeting this year has failed to produce results, and the loophole-filled sanctions, while hurting Iran somewhat, are not stopping its nuclear program.

4. “No religious institution, Catholic or otherwise…has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact.” No, it is not a fact–it is the opposite of a fact, and saying “that is a fact” does not make it any less a blatant lie. The Obama administration is forcing religious institutions to provide contraceptive and abortion drugs through their insurance policies. That is the reason several dozen religious institutions are suing the administration to defend their First Amendment freedom of religion.

3. “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card…I was there. I voted against him.” Biden voted for both the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war. He did not vote for George W. Bush’s plan to extend coverage of Medicare to prescription drugs (though he voted for an earlier, similar proposal), nor did he vote for the Bush tax cuts. But he voted for both of the wars he derided last night. To quote Bill Clinton’s speech to the Democratic National Convention: “It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did.”

2. “What we did is we saved $716 billion and put it back — applied it to Medicare.” Biden repeated the lie the Obama administration has been telling since before Obamacare passed in 2010: that cuts to Medicare today were savings that extend the life of the program. They would be–if the same $716 billion wasn’t also being used to pay for Obamacare. As Ryan pointed out in 2010, and again last night, you can’t double-count the same cuts. Taking $716 billion out of Medicare means exactly that–and hurts, not helps, the program’s solvency.

1. “Well, we weren’t told they wanted more security again.” Biden lied through his teeth about the fact that the administration–specifically, the State Department–had been told again and again that security on the ground in Libya, and in Benghazi in particular, was inadequate. The day before, in Congressional hearings on the Libya attacks, former regional security director Eric Nordstrom described his frustration with having those requests turned down by the government bureaucracy: “For me the Taliban is on the inside of the building.

 

Martha Raddatz — the Liberal media’s “hit” man

ABC is struggling to find a moderator for the VP debate because ALL their staffers are Obama supporters.

Their final choice is  Martha Raddatz,  a fervant Obama supporter, who has infinite connections to Obama and a vested interest in his re-election.  Here are a few of Martha’s links to Obama:

1- President Obama attended Martha Raddatz’ wedding.

2-Obama appointed her husband, Julius Genachowski, to head the  Federal Trade Commission.

3- Martha’s husband was a classmate of Obama’s at Harvard.

4- Obama and Genachowski were members of the Harvard Law Review.

These are only a few of the connections between the media and the Democrats’ party network.  This is why the media slants their coverage of the Presidential election consistently to enhance the Democrats’ reputation.  This is why the media’s approval rating is lower than a snake’s belly.

It’s sad that Martha is the “best” that the media can offer to moderate the VP debate.  But, based on the coverage of this election, it is no surprise that none of the networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, could find an impartial person to moderate the debate.  And, scary that Martha’s connections to Obama were hidden!

Oh, yes.  Martha Raddatz was NOT chosen for her integrity.  She was chosen to be the Liberal media’s “hit” man.

 

Why does the stock market dictate a vote for Romney?

Does the stock market’s “high” really help you decide whom to vote for?  Well, it should!

With record levels of unemployment, gas prices surging, home prices dropping, more people on food stamps,  the stock market seems to be  a sign of hope.  But,  it isn’t!

The reason for the stock market’s high prices is that it is the only place to invest with any hope of earning a decent return.  And, there are many investors who are stashing their cash in the stock market which means there is very high demand for a limited product.  And, generally,  high demand means higher prices.

So, why are so many people and institutions investing in the stock market?

It is the uncertainly created by the current administration’s policies.  Companies are holding their capital close to the vest because they don’t know what the future will bring in the way of expensive regulations, increased taxes, and government bungling of the economy and foreign policy. Individuals are NOT spending because they are worried about future taxes or the possibility of losing their jobs because the promised “summer of recovery” has NOT happened.

So, why vote for Governor Romney and Representative Ryan?

Governor Romney has been a successful businessman for many, many years.  He understands how to make businesses successful by lowering taxes and reducing regulations. He understands how to get our country working again.   Representative Ryan, too, understands financial matters, having been chairman of the House budget committee.

The stock market cannot tell us what to do, but,  it is a warning sign to us that we need to fix the economy so all areas can flourish.  The high prices on the DOW may make investors happy, but it should make us wary…..wary of an administration that has demolished all other areas of our market place.

We need the economy to thrive in all areas…..and, for that, we need Romney and Ryan!

It’s a Republican storm….

But, the Democrats want to rain on the RNC’s parade!  They are afraid that, if Americans can actually hear Republicans, it will be bye-bye, Democrats!

So:

Democrats are egging Occupy protestors to disrupt the RNC convention.

The DNC chairwoman travels to Tampa and then, refuses to let conservatives ask her questions.

President Obama and his media hooligans at MSNBC and ABC and CBS do their pseudo “fact-checking” and loudly proclaim that conservatives are lying.  As if they would recognize a lie, even if it hit them in the face!

Well, let the Democrats carry on their smear campaign.  The Republicans will continue to stand on the moral high ground.

So, despite hurricane Isaac and our concern for those in its path;  it’s happy days again for those of us who want fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C.

Let the Democrats whine because  we’re singing a happy song ….. Obama and his cronies are on the way out.

No more taxpayer funded stimulus for Obama’s buddies.  No more government seizing our individual liberties.  No more golf by the President while fellow Americans are desperate for employment.

Oh, yes, it’s a Republican storm moving in.  And, it’s a Perfect Storm!
