Must See TV, Joe Biden, Social Security, Health Care, & AARP Debate
I hope everyone takes health care very seriously when voting. We need to remember that whomever we choose, their plan, if approved will be with all of us for forever. It doesn't go away when that president leaves office.

Here is a video of Joe Biden addressing SS & health care. Important to anyone over 40.

I agree with him.

3. Not impressive
Biden is a waffling triangulating fool.

He also doesn't support government run single payer healthcare.

5. Your rampant negativity does you no good in making your points.
Every post on Biden, you take any negatives (which are debatable) and amplify them way out of proportion in regards to his positives. I suspect you suffer from some sort of anger or depression, and should seek help. The amount of time you spend bashing a dem. candidate for president, and a damn good one,at this stage of the race, is ridiculous. You obviously have no life, and I suggest you engage in more thoughtful, less vitriolic rhetoric.

And Biden is NOT against a single payer system in the long run, as far as I know. He is just trying to change the system graddually. He realizes you are never going to completely overhaul the system all at once. HE's taking a pragmatic approach to achieving universal health care.

Who's your candidate? Kucinich? How about some positive Kucinich posts instead. Everyone has heard your awful rants against Biden about 800 times on this board. Get a life, dude! Go smoke some weed or something if that helps.

6. Do yourself a favor and do what I did.
I put him on ignore. His points are not valid enough for you to spend 1 second of your time on. He's simply here to cast aspersions on a good and honorable man. I think it's better to take the high road.

13. I'm not running for office
Biden is.

And if all he has for you to prop him up is a fucking "D" on his chest then that really is fucking pathetic. Even more, the people that get upset over all this are really convinced that campaigning for candidates here really fucking matters in the real world.

it doesn't.

And Joe Biden is a lousy candidate from top to bottom. Took him five years to figure out he couldn't work with the schmuck in chief but is still convinced the Republicans will work with him should he grab the presidency.

They wont.

They'll skewer him.

He's not so bright on foreign affairs either which is his supposed area of expertise.

Edited on Thu Dec-06-07 05:25 PM by inthebrain
LOL

Talk about putting lipstick on pig.

I wonder how hard you have to work to convince yourself of that bullshit.

Oh look!!!

Biden just dropped two points in the polls because I posted that.

Just move on to something constructive. We know you don't like Biden. You are kicking a dead horse

23. You are absolutely the most angry, hate-filled person I have ever run across on the net, Freepers
included. I am very sorry about whatever happened in your life to make you so spiteful and bitter. I am certain of one thing, Joe Biden did nothing to you but for some reason you have channeled all your hate and aggression onto him. Please try to get some help, before this eats you up inside. Have a blessed day, ITB.

36. No, ITB, it's just the truth. Didn't have to steal it, it's quite plain for anyone who's watched
you for any length of time. Again, I'm sorry you are hurting, but I wish you'd let us converse about our candidates without spewing the same diatribe over and over and over. Trust me, we all know how you feel.

45. I'm sure they had their reasons
but the debate reached a cross-section of society that traditionally votes more than other age groups.

26. Oh, this is great!
I hadn't seen it before. I love the split screen with Biden and Clinton and she is nodding agreement with him.

This was one of his performances.

Where were Kucinich and Obama?

Edited on Thu Dec-06-07 05:58 PM by 1corona4u
I'm not sure when this was done...

Here ya go;

Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel weren't invited to the event because they are not campaigning in Iowa and Barack Obama declined the invitation because he thinks there are too many debates scheduled.


Too many debates? Huh...AARP......huh...

41. Biden is so right in wanting to go after the Insurance industry.
Insurance companies have taken over and ruined the medical profession, workers pensions, etc.; it is astounding how powefull insurance companies are and how drastically they affect our very lives. No candidate (to my knowledge) has been willing to pin the blame for our many social problms where it belongs, on insurance companies.

43. And corporate greed in general has caused a good deal
of our current problems - global warming, outsourced jobs, weakened economy, the Katrina aftermath, even the Iraq war, as it is a magnet for war profiteering.
