Vet Bitch-Slaps Biden
Biden touts Iraq policySUMTER, S.C. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden found a ready critic for his own criticism of the U.S. war in Iraq as he stumped Saturday in this town known for its sprawling Air Force base. Stumped. Similar to stumble. The Delaware Democrat said he has been right to criticize the Bush Administration for its handling of the Iraq war. He also told a crowd of about 60 at the University of South Carolina-Sumter that he is the only presidential candidate with a real political solution for the war. No one's ever said this before: I have a plan. But when Biden turned to the audience for questions, John Stevens, a 79-year-old Air Force disabled veteran of Korea and Vietnam, told Biden he had a better solution. "The war's being lost in Congress by the people who give aid and comfort to the enemies that are killing our troops," he said. Stevens then said he had his own plan: "I call it the duct tape solution. You take a roll of duct tape and you put it over the mouths of the people that are criticizing our troops and also causing the enemy to continue attacking our troops and blowing them up." LOL. 79. Too old to run for office, damnit. Biden said the problem in Iraq isn't a lack of support for American troops. He said he has pushed plans to properly equip troops, including with mine-resistant vehicles rolling out of South Carolina plants. I'm a proper political whore. There's a shiny lining for every political issue - all that's required is focus - and co-conspirators in the press, of course. Instead, our soldiers have been asked to remain enmeshed in what's become a civil war that requires different tactics, Biden said. Best Tactic: Kill Killers - who gives a shit about which sect. "We went to war with too few troops," Biden said. "Not a single general disagrees with that." Gen'ls Pelosi, Reid, Biden, Murtha, Kennedy, Kerry, Leahy, Dodd... A couple of hours earlier, Biden was in front of an unusual crowd at an unusual place for a Democrat. Rizty posh resort place. Nope, Pols never go to those. Biden also talked about the Iraq war in front of the South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance, which met at The Sanctuary, a pricey Kiawah Island resort, said Lewis Gossett, the chief executive of the alliance. "The reaction was really remarkable," Gossett said. "It was a powerful speech." I'm impressed, too. I didn't know Chia Pets could talk, either. Biden didn't talk about his plans to roll back tax breaks for the nation's wealthiest people. Mum's the woid. "The reception might not have been as good for that," Gossett said. Focus. Proper political whoring demands serious focus. Biden wrapped up Saturday - the last day of the fundraising quarter - by heading to a the Carolina Cup, a steeplechase race in Camden. We totaled $1.92 - we're on our waaaaayyyyy! "We're on track to be able to raise what I've been saying. We think we need $20 to $25 million dollars to get us through South Carolina," Biden said. In another 70 or 80 years we'll be ready, baby! Even that goal is far behind what some other candidates expect to raise. Not everyone has the advantage of being in the WH for 8 years or being a complete unknown who simply looks good to the multi-cultis. Some have to work hard to hide their records, their decades of being on the public dole and a total laughingstock. "I refuse to believe this nomination is going to be determined based on money," said Biden, who thinks he can win if it become a contest of ideas, especially about Iraq. The real Inconvenient Truth.
