Joe Biden puts his foot in his mouth...again.

I've heard this story from so many places I don't really know who to give credit to. Beck, Limbaugh, Boortz, Levin. I don't know, you pick.

Senator Obama, speaking to Joe (the plumber) Wurzelbacher:

OBAMA: It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they have got a chance at success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.

Senator Biden, speaking to Barbara West at WFTV News:

WEST: You may recognize this famous quote: From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. That's from Karl Marx. How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?

BIDEN: Are you joking? Is this a joke?

WEST: No.

BIDEN: Or is that a real question?

WEST: That's a question.

BIDEN: He is not spreading the wealth around. He is talking about giving the middle class an opportunity to get back the tax breaks they used to have.

Eh? Senator Biden, anyone in the nation who is paying attention to this election heard Obama tell Joe the plumber that an Obama Administration would 'spread the wealth around'. Where have you been? I know your foot is almost permanently placed in your mouth, but, MY GOODNESS! You are either a liar, an idiot or ignorant. In the position you are running for, I don't know which is worse, but none of the above would be good for America.

Just a fact check for Joe Biden. The Bush Administration gave EVERY American a tax break. Senator Obama will allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, which will be a tax increase for every American family making over $25,000. But Obama's not going to raise taxes....riiiiggghtttt.

You can see the whole interview with Biden on WFTV.com. There is also an interview with McCain there as well. She doesn't cut McCain any slack either.

Saw clips of the interview on O'Reilly; fasinatin. Dims are always so shocked when a reporter asks them a tough question.

Heard that he's already beginnin to back away from his tax cut pledge. This is a typical democrat strategy. Get a party leader (in this case Chuck Shummer) to state that the promised tax cuts may not be immediate (due to whatever reason), then down the line when the cuts don't happen (in this case it'll actually be tax hikes) they'll reference this to claim that they were upfront all along on their tax policy.
Those three debates where BO said he'd cut taxes on 95% of Americans will be ignored.

He'll probably say that he said HE wouldn't raise their taxes. Since the Bush tax cuts'll expire he could say Bill Clinton or George Bush raised their taxes. But I'm thinking he'll just raise taxes straight up. I don't think he'll wait until the cuts expire in 2010.

I agree. He'll say it's cause Bush ruined the economy and the press will echo it for him.

But, the voters won't be fooled anymore once he does. I'm tellin ya, if BO and the dims reign for a couple a yrs; they'll seal their own doom.
