GREAT JOB Sen. Biden! Did you see the clip on Hardball?

[napi21]

Joe was speaking somewhere and apparently he'd been denied access to the Dover military base in Del. He said "How DARE this President deny me access to a military base? I'm obn the Armed Forces Committee and a United States Senator!" I'll have to check to see where he was speaking. I'd love to hear the whole speech!

[panader0]

1. Yeah, I caught it. It was cool. Joe was denied access

because of the COFFINS.

[merh]

4. WTF?

Because of the coffins? :wtf:

Do they have more than they admit to and won't let folks in who can count and call them on it?

Biden needs to remove himself from the race and get with the house members to impeach the MOFO-n-chief.

Abuse of office is just one of the many reasons to impeach him and remove him from office.

We can have him tried for war crimes after we get out of Iraq

[gateley]

8. Oh you know something - you might be right about the coffins. Was that

mentioned in the Hardball piece do you know? I've heard that's where the bodies of our troops enter the United States.

God I hate this administration. Evil.

[demommom]

10. Dover Air Base

in Delaware is where the bodies of our fallen troops are flown and prepared for release to their families. I believe this happened when the Bush admnistration decided to keep the coffins from the public eyes.

Joe is not afraid to take on Bush and Cheny.

[gateley]

12. Didn't he tell Rumsfeld he'd fire him if he could? He's not afraid to take on

anyone if he feels an injustice is taking place.

[jillan]

29. He also told Cheney that if he was an elected official he would fire him too for lying to him about,

Iraq.

Biden is not afraid to mince words.

[pacalo]

15. He doesn't take any crap & he's good at putting idiots in their place.

And I do like his snark. I can't help hoping that he'll work hard at getting exposure in those states holding the early primaries & come out on top. (If Al doesn't run.)

[Cha]

45. It's like..what's it going to take

for the Dems to talk among themselves and decide Impeach(at least TRY) is the only way?

Being denied to enter the Senate Or the House?..

[Froward69]

27. Where did you see it ????????

[karlrschneider]

2. He said something like that a year or 2 ago too. Not sure what the venue was today.

Sure seems like he should have the right to go onto a base in his own state...

[Purveyor]

7. I remember that also. Sort of 'went away' after the first outrage and reporting.

Glad he is bringing it back up and he should do so during a broadcast debate for more exposure.

[PatSeg]

19. AND he is chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee!

What a lot of nerve. Bush doesn't want to mess with Biden. He is one of the few members of congress who stands up to him.

[bdamomma]

25. Biden doesn't hold back any criticism that is for sure.

[gateley]

3. A senator being denied access to a military base? In his OWN STATE???

I share Biden's outrage. What are they hiding???

Things are becoming SOOOO scary.

Was this on tonight? Thanks.

[PatSeg]

20. They probably didn't like is heartfelt talk on Hardball about

riding in the plane with the coffins of the "fallen angels". God forbid anyone humanize the deaths in Iraq!

[NC_Nurse]

5. That IS bizarre. He's on the Armed Forces Committee too.

:wtf:

I wonder what abomination they are hiding now....:scared:

[NCarolinawoman]

9. AND he has a son in the military!

:grr: :banghead:

[PatSeg]

21. Who is scheduled to go to Iraq next year!

This administration doesn't want Biden sniffing around their the military bases. He's too outspoken for their tastes.

Give 'em hell Joe!

[Froward69]

28. Chairman!!!

[mmonk]

6. Bizarre

[Olney Blue]

11. I agree with Joe Biden- this is an outrage. Were they afraid

he would capture an image on his cell phone? God forbid that Americans see the sacrifice our military and their loved ones are making.

[mmonk]

13. In Germany in WW II, nobody was allowed

to see coffins come in to their bases and they were brought in at night.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. And then they don't stand up to him when they have the opportunity too do so.

I am a life long Dem, I will always be a Dem. No question about that. Taking a stand is great, but backing down after criticism, SUCKS! Take a stand or don't. Either way, be prepared to back it up!

[JNelson6563]

16. To the Greatest Page with you!

Give 'em hell Joe!! :toast:

Julie

[gateley]

17. Thanks, Julie - I have no doubt he WILL give 'em hell!

:toast:

[JNelson6563]

18. I think he's a very good candidate and has

a wonderful fighting spirit! :patriot: :hi:

Julie

[napi21]

22. I AGREE! Why the hell is he only at 2.6%?????

I really don't understand that! He's doing and saying almost everything we ask of a candidate, yet nobody is paying any attention! WHY???????

[BenV]

23. Because

He isn't the favorite of the mainstream media, and he doesn't have $50M in the bank!

[napi21]

24. Well both thos things make him more attractive to me! n/t

[Think82]

31. Look out for an iowa surprise. he needs $. you can make a donation through his website.

[napi21]

32. I know, and he's trying for $500,000 by mid Nov. I did send him a little

money, but I just don't have much to spare! My hubby was taken to the ER last Friday, and because of our wonderful healtcare system, I'm going to owe well over $1,000 in our 20% copay, and I don't know how much more than that. He's OK, thank God, but these vultures scrounge for every last penny. I will send Joe something, but I doubt it can be more than $10. I only wish I could do more!!!!

[gateley]

33. I'm so glad to hear your husband is okay - it must have been such a frightening

experience for you.

Nobody's contributions could be more meager and embarrassing than mine, but I'm sure they appreciate every single dollar. So if you can send a few bucks that's great - if you can't right now, don't feel bad. You're here supporting him, and that means a lot to the rest of us Bidenites!

Take care.

[murbley40]

41. Glad your husband is okay.

Every little bit adds up.

[lyonn]

38. Iowa surprise, that's what I'm counting on.

Why does the media severely critique Biden? Does Biden worry the media and repubs who pay their checks that if he had more air time he could even capture a few conservative votes. The best the media can do at this point is try to make him look racially biased. There is no way I could support him if that was anywhere near true. No way does he come off as being biased. Just the opposite, he recognizes a problem with certain segments of our society and that goes beyond racial inequities.

[PatSeg]

43. Iowa is always a surprise!

They don't seem to pay much attention to the media, which is good for the rest of the country.

[NNN0LHI]

26. I am still voting for Stephen Colbert

:P

[AspenRose]

30. Are we fed up yet, Congress?

Ted Kennedy gets put on a no-fly list.
Patrick Leahy gets told to "go f*** himself."
Joe Biden is denied access to a military base.


Are we fed up yet, Congress? :banghead:

[gateley]

34. Ted Kennedy was put on a no-fly list? I am HOWLING at the absurdity! I didn't know that. nt

[Swamp Rat]

35. IMPEACH!!!

[youthere]

36. Give them HELL Joe! Biden 08!

[madokie]

37. I will gladly vote for Joe if he is our nominee

being here in OK I have no real say in who our candidate will be but I can tell you for sure that who ever my fellow Democratic Party comrades nominate I will wholeheartedly support them in the general election.

[lyonn]

40. True madokie, we have no say in who is nominated

That is why DU is a life saver. Our local media is trash in and trash out. Fox fans everywhere. Blows the mind. It has occurred to me that if Biden got any kind of coverage in this State, Okla., that there are some open minded people that would appreciate what he stands for. They are disgusted with bush but are die hard repubs. The choice for repubs this years isn't so stellar, ha

[PatSeg]

44. I think you're right

I think Biden could carry a lot of so-called Red states who are fed up with this administration. I hope this time your vote really does count.

[spanone]

39. it's called a 'coup'

[alstephenson]

42. I saw him, too, and he was PISSED OFF!!!

And rightfully so. You go, Joe!

[PatSeg]

46. If anyone can take on these goons, its Joe
