In looking over the tax returns the VP released, I see that he and his wife have as much income in one year as my wife and I have in twelve years total. Yet we give more to charity in one year than they give in ten.
The last study I saw, in 2006, showed that liberals control more of the money than conservatives but conservatives give more to charity than liberals.
It seems that the Vice President and his friends are very generous with other people's money, to buy votes, but stingy with their own.
Vice President Biden calls himself "Blue Collar Joe" but has not worked a blue collar job in his adult life.

If Obama gets reelected and his Muslim Brotherhood begins the systematic slaughter and dismantling of the Catholic Church, I wonder where your writer will be then. Obama is on record that he sides with Islam. Islam and Christianity do not mix. One must be defeated in order to restore the world's sanity. to me, the choice is very clear and the answer is Not to ReElect Traitors like Obama and Biden.

mreinhar2001, I had the opportunity to work on Bobby Kennedy's campaign in Indiana in 1968. I doubt you have any idea what the man was like. He broke with LBJ on the the Vietnam war in 1966. He embraced the Civil Rights movement and more importantly he pushed it to the forefront of his Presidential campaign in 1968. Only Bobby could go out on the evening of April 4 and tell a crowd of Indianapolis Blacks that Martin Luther King Jr. had been murdered that day while the rest of America burned.

EphraimKibbey" Yuu misread PhlutiePhan's comment regarding American's and the Crucifixion; please return to his comment and read it in context. That should clear up her meaning for you.

Nor is the 2012 Democratic Party "your grandfather's Democrat Party, man." (Is the use of "man" at the end of a phrase making a comeback in the U.S. or does that just date Biden as a flower child of the 60’s, I wonder.) Bobby Kennedy, a proud 1960's Democrat for those of you not able to remember him, did not support ending the life of a pre-born child just because it is inconvenient--especially in the guise of reproductive rights of the one carrying the child.

mairint...There you go again with the "bearing false witness" I really hope you are not a Mairinist. Need I go back and tell you the hypocrisy of your statement, beginning with GOP Rudy Giuliani who is married three times, is pro choice, and received communion at St Patrick's Cathedral from the Pope. It’s amazing how “some” in the church use their Catholic outrage focused on “some” and not others. Why? I think that is precisely why the founding fathers fought for separation of church and state because the saw the outright hypocrisy that had occurred in Europe and did not want that to destroy our democracy in States.

The polls tell us that the majority of Catholics will vote for Obama and Biden, which is to say that they will vote for women's freedom of conscience and right to equal pay for equal work, as well as equality under the law for LGBTs. They will vote to impose a fair share of the financial burden of bailouts and deficit on the upper middle class and the wealthy. They will vote to keep GOP hands off social contract programs-- unemployment insurance, Medicare, and social security, paid for through payroll taxes-- and off Head Start, Pell grants and student loans, food stamps, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act, needed to extend equal opportunities across class lines. We will have a more fair nation over the next four years, and less mean-spirited, ideological manipulation of people's fears. Perhaps the Romneyites will learn to appreciate the value of equality under the law and fair distribution of resources. And if they don't learn to appreciate it, they will at least learn that it has the power of the people's vote behind it.

Even we Delaware Republicans are proud of our Joe. He's had a remarkable public career and it's kind of nice that we even now have a Republican presidential nominee whose "hoof in mouth disease" is so severe that it makes Joe's occasional verbal flubs seem all the more affectionate foibles. The stridency of the occasional extremist right wing attacks merely are more evidence that (assuming the Dems can TURN OUT their vote) we've lost this election big time. Biden and Obama should be well over the 300 Electoral Vote level (270 wins it) by election day.

PhlutiePhan, and all this time I thought that the crucifixion had something to do with forgiveness. Thanks for clarifying it.

Obama seems to get along well with a crowd, Biden seems to have a connection when speaking. When Ryan and Romney spoke in Ohio, why was the chant "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" so much so that the poor little rich boy had to take the mic and yell "That's supposed to be Romney/Ryan?" How long will it take Ryan to go "Rogue" on Romney like Palin did on McCain? Biden is doing a GREAT job of reinforcing his ticket's message and it seems to be getting through to voters.

PhlutiePhan We get you don't like the guy, or plan to vote for him, but why must you go to such lengths with "Hannity" speak when everyone knows at this point its laughable.

PhlutiePhan, Cheesesteak and Seanmor, you all must be suffering from exhaustion trying to come up with reasons to vote for Robme. Fact is, Robme destroyed his own campaign. His mouth did it all. 47%!!! Game, set, match.
