Biden Calls Local Store Manager A 'Smartass' After He Asks For Lower Taxes

July 2, 2010 by  

Biden calls local store manager a 'smartass' after he asks for lower taxes Vice President Joe Biden may have done more harm than good while recently campaigning in Wisconsin for Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.)

During a campaign stop at a local custard shop in Milwaukee, Biden was caught on tape firing back at the store’s manager after he told the vice president that his dessert would be free of charge if he convinced the administration to lower taxes, according to Fox News.

"Don’t worry, it’s on us," the manager said to Biden after he inquired about the cost of the custard. "Lower our taxes and we’ll call it even."

After initially walking away from the employee following the remark, Biden responded several minutes later.

"Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a ‘smartass’ all the time?" Biden asked the man. "Say something nice."

In an interview with WISN-TV, the manager said that the vice president later whispered to him that he was just joking, although he added that Biden did not seem pleased with his offer.

The vice president did not take questions from reporters, although he did again suggest to a group of supporters that the Bush administration is responsible for the struggling economy, both in Wisconsin and across the country.

"We inherited a godawful mess," he said. There is "no way to regenerate $3 trillion that was lost. Not misplaced, lost."

    We all have asses and there are two kinds of them smart or dumb and I like the store manager am a smartass and Joey Biden as you guess is the other, a V. P. DUMBASS!

    • s c

      Charlie, the guy who was insulted by Motormouth Joe should have reminded him (and the media whores) that what kids used to say on grade school playgrounds many years ago still rings true. That is, ‘it’s better to be a smartass than a DUMB ASS.’
      Of course, in Joe’s case, someone would have to explain that to him. He reminds me of Gore in so many ways. I wonder how much that “education” cost him. It must have been ‘on sale’ when he got it.
      Now I’m wondering who had more to say about Joe’s outburst (Herr Obummer, or the puppet master who controls both of them).

  • s c

    I won’t tip my hat to him, but I DO want to say ‘thanks’ to Mouthflappin’ Joe. Now, there can be NO doubt as to his ZERO character. Is there ANY doubt
    that progressives attract a wide assortment of NON-TALENT?
    In case some folks are hesitant to express their outrage (and laughter) in Joe’s direction, I’ll say it for you. Biden is an arrogant, not at all bright, motormouth, geekoid twit who doesn’t know when to shut his HUGE mouth.
    Almost every time he opens his mouth, he jams both feet into that mouth. The guy he insulted knows PERSONALLY that we’re temporarily stuck with two world-class LOSERS. What Herr Obummer doesn’t dream up, Biden does. Between the two of them, they will destroy their own ‘reputations.’
    They will prove to the world that progressives can’t be trusted to come up with ANY real leaders, AND we know there MORE eruptions coming. Think of Joe as a two-legged OIL SPILL. And no, Herr Obummer can’t make him shut up, either!
    KEEP IT UP JOE! Show us what you can do! I can’t wait for the next GUSHER. Let ‘er rip, MOTORMOUTH!

  • http://none John Detwiler

    Democrats are still blaming the last Admiss.for the mess that we are in trying to get us to forget that the Obama anmiss. has spent more than all the presidents before him. How is hell do they expect us to get out of the hole they are digging, when all they do is spend and force rediculous spending programs on us. If we don’t get those clowns out of ofice this fall, we will never recover. If not look forward to a Chevez type government.

  • L.J.

    Just to show you how low politicians have sunk, just look at the way BOTH Biden and Osama bin Obama carry themselves publicly. Their behavior is intolerable and they can’t even take the blame for their own failed policies–they choose to blame Bush! Truth is, the MAJORITY of Americans are damned sick and tired of them blaming someone else for their petty arrogance and mistakes, It’s sort of like the old school playground where a kid starts a fight and is guilty, but points the finger of blame at the one he fought with and says, “HE started it!”
    Biden is such a damned fool that he cannot keep his mouth shut—ever. He thinks that being the V.P., he can do whatever the hell suits him. I’d like to have a couple of hours alone with that rat bas$*&% alone in a dark room and give him a beating he won’t forget.
    The REAL smart-ass here is Joe Biden as he is known for his dumb-assed remarks and the shop owner is a patriot for standing up to these over-hyped a-holes who come their way spreading propaganda!

  • http://Verizon Bud G.

    Doc Sarvis: Yes, Biden probably got his BA at the University of Deleware which as far as I know doesn’t exist. It may have been Delaware. In any event, I find it hard to believe he graduated from anything without a lot of help or someone taking the tests for him because he is dumb as a rock. The Administration needs to put a muzzle on him because he is an embarrassment just like he was in Congress as the talking head saying nothing of substance.

    I feel the same way with President Obama. They compared former President Clinton with him and I agree that Clinton is far more intelligent, has more common sense and certainly more experience in Government and International matters. I took the internet test asking “Are you smarter than Obama” and had a higher grade than he did. My entire family is more intelligent than I am with IQ’s between 136 and 148 and I didn’t even make Menza. So, you have to wonder how he actually got through with his education since that information is not available to the public. He is a smooth talker but they are a dime a dozen.

  • Tim Maiers

    I hope and pray that all Americans, will see the picture of what is to come for the future generations. History does repeat itself. Placing blame on Bush’s era and now the Obama reign, only keeps the blame going. People wake up. If we truly believe in the principles of our fore fathers intention, we be able to see the whole picture.
    Many great empires fell and if we don’t make changes this great nation will be a thing of a past. We are doomed if we the American people start demanding change in the process of elections, how they are funded. Nearly are the problems can be attributed to money greed and power hungry. I truly believe the current administration is advocating socialism and our spending/debt will cause our demise. One has to ask; how did we get there? We are each individually responsible for our well being and when a society demands so much of government to provide our exsistance; then maybe we can understand. It took only five years under Germany’s reign for Austria’s citizens to be under control of socialism before the death camps came to exist.Our rights in speech, right to bear arms, ownership, etc are being etched away. Wake up People.

    • JCfromDC

      I keep hammering this, but no one listens. I tell them to go online or to a library, and look up the Fall of the Weimar Republic. READ ABOUT IT!!! I already knew this stuff as a student of WWII and its leadup.
      The parrallels are frightening:
      Nationalization of Industry, Banking, Medicine; establishment of a “civilian army” as powerful as the military (Brownshirts, Youth Corps); shouting down and shutting down opposition radio (Fairness Doctrine) and newspapers (The Washington Times); An eloquent and crowd pleasing “orator” elected by an apathetic people looking for “change”; All this branded by a striking Icon/logo in a circle, posted everywhere, representing a Party and a Personality; Promises of all kinds for the “good citizens” (those who fall in line) and punishment for the rest capitalism/industrialists). And they were ELECTED!!!!
      And they call the conservatives Nazis?

      • independant thinker

        Excellent. Obama and Hitler have the same ability to mesmerize an audience ang get their support without the audience knowing what was actualy said.

      • Carol Dines

        This is what my 90 year old mother said before the elections. Of course there was no choice left by the time it got to us in Oklahoma. I read his book and realized that Obama was someone I would never vote for, that left McCain.

        I sincerely hope we can find some people to vote into office who share the view most Americans have now that we are in big trouble and need to straighten things out, returning to the Constitution for guidance and eliminating any policies which negatively affect us.

        I would like to see the “FairTax” proposal voted into law, the elimination of the IRS is step one, if you haven’t read it yet, listen to the 1:30 pm broad cast (presumably EST) on Fox Business News on the 4th, not sure the time in all zones, but I will be watching. It is the best thing Congress has had a chance to do in years, so they probably won’t.

      • JC

        The Kenyan was the first one in the US to hold open air chants…like…Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can….
        Zeig Heil, Zeig Heil….

  • Harold Olsen

    It’s very clear that Biden has nothing between his ears but a vacuum. Every time he opens his mouth and says something he shows how utterly stupid he is. People used to make fun of Dan Quayle, whom I agree was an idiot. However, compared to Biden, Quayle was a genius. What the heck–compared to Biden, the chair I’m sitting in is a genius.

    • JCfromDC

      I, for one, DO NOT agree Quayle was an idiot. A “deer in the headlights”, maybe, unprepared for the office, certainly. I used to see him on the Armed Services Committee hearings on C-Span years ago. “Who IS this guy?”, I thought. He was articulate, on his game, and argued vociferouly well for the systems and weapons our military needed. I forgot who he was til GHWB dragged him onto the ’88 ticket {mainly because he was young). Put him in the spotlight and he admittedly… choked. But in the committee rooms, he was a tiger. Good Senator, giddy VP.

      • American Citizen

        Dan Quayle is, as you say, a very intelligent person. He was made fun of because of his misspelling of the word “potato”. He put an “e” on the end probably because of the way it sounds. It’s common of people who spell phonetically. Highly intelligent people can have a problem with spelling of ordinary words. We all learn differently. Some are auditory learners, some hands on and some by sight. Talk to any teacher, he or she can tell you this is true. I worked as a tutor in our school system and learned I had to develop and IEP for each student with whom I worked.

      • libertytrain

        it’s also a difficult word because the plural is potatoes.

  • Joyce

    I have had the unfortunate chance to visit Marion, OH, home of the filthiest mouth children I have ever seen in my life. Ten and twelve year old children walking around using the “F” word and other filthy words. When the VP of our country has such a filthy mouth, what do we expect from the children of this nation? Is this our future? Idiots with no respect for themselves or anyone else? Biden is such a disgraceful VP, but was appropriately selected by a disgraceful Obama. For the first time in my almost sixty years, I am ashamed of my country because the people voted for such as this.

  • Jon Weiss

    Bidens opinion of the store owner notwithstanding, Biden is and always has been a joke. And a bad joke at that.

    • JCfromDC

      How can any of us complain when is it WE who keep sending these “people” back into their tax-paid-for offices every 2-4-6 years? We get the bad government we deserve. When Franklin was asked at the end of the Constitutional Covention, “What have you given us?” He repiled with a sigh, “… a Republic, if you can keep it.” Key word in that reply was “IF”. What IF we can’t, or are too apathetic to bother to question ourselves, “WHY?” Because when we have to ask “WHY?” it will be too late, ad we will have lost it.

  • OneDamnAngryAmerican

    I think the owner of this custard shop should write off the “gift” of the custard to the VP on his income tax return. Public officals cannot accept gifts, from anyone! Then, the custard shop owner should report the VP to the IRS for Biden not showing the gift on his (the VP’s) income tax return!

    • Ed Kennedy

      That is an OUTSTANDING idea!! Wish I had thought of it. I don’t know how to contact the store owner but we ought to all write him and encourage him to do it.

      • JCfromDC

        As Spock from Star Trek would have said, “Fascinating, but improbable.”

    • JeffH

      Not one to defend the Potus or the VPotus, Biden did offer to pay for the Custard cones and the manager asked him to pay back by lowering taxes…then get’s called a “smart ass” for an honest question…Biden looks down on all of us just like most of our “representatives” do. 2-1/2 years to a new regime and just about 5 months to regaine control of Congress.
      Keep the pressure on and never let up.

      • Palin12

        JeffH, don’t forget Biden’s remark that it is your patiotic duty to pay (higher) taxes.

      • JeffH

        Palin12, gee…it seems I’ve seen that written in these blogs by the liberals that like to accuse others of not “paying their fair share”, all the while not applying that mantra to the less fortunate, druggies or the plain lazy who are looking for the “free” handouts.

  • Robert

    Biden is just following his “leader”. Heaven help us if something happens to Obama. His comment about inheriting a 3 trillion dollar deficit doesn’t hold any accountability. How does the present administration explain the additional 10 trillion they have added trying to spend us into prosperity.

  • Momo

    Biden is a real piece of work. The businessman was asking for a tax break because of the following FACTS: 40% of the people in this country pay no income tax, 27% of the people get more from the federal government than pay into it, that leaves 33% to foot the bill. Guess what, we’re tired of paying through the nose for these liberal experiments that don’t work. Remember, unemployment wasn’t supposed to go above 8%…mmmmm. We’ve had bailouts of the banks, Wall Street, the auto industry…what’s next? As for blaming Bush, that’s getting old quick, this administration, and I use the term loosely, has been in office for 18 months its THEIR problem now.
    Obama has no experience in running anything, except his mouth, and Biden is a career politician, what more can we expect from these people? NOT MUCH!

    • blamesomeoneelse

      There is a solution:
      one of the most powerful and influential politicians in America, Nancy Pelosi, making the absurd claim that jobless benefit payments provides a major stimulus to the economy… and that they create jobs faster than any initiative you can name.
      now get unemployed and help this country. If Bama/Biden blame themselves for the poor economy then it means their plans didnt work, hmmmm.
      Lets blame Bush and the repulicans in office when Clinton was prsident the Bush senior, then…
      Lets face it the USA bubble has burst, now what? a dictator

      • JC

        Historically speaking, yes dictatorship comes next.

        JC–Arm ourselves to the teeth? Does this mean I have to get a grille? If I had to get a grille I guess I could bite and shoot at the same time. Just teasing!!

      • JC

        LOL Hey Claire, I’m not sure where the expression came from but it seemed appropriate.
        I guess I could have said…keep a sufficient supply of firearms and supporting supplies on hand in the event we need to fight a prolonged domestic or civil war to vanquish seditious elements hiding among us as fellow Americans, but who’s true goals are to bring us into a global fold of sub servience and to erase the American character forever.

        I’m really glad to hear that Claire.

      • independant thinker

        Too bad we cannot call Pelosi out in public about the statement. If she were correct unemployment would be dropping rapidly not staying stagnent or going up.

    I have been hearing how the current economic situation is all the previous administration’s fault and I looked in to it. What I found was the highest market numbers in the history of the DOW were achieved the in October 2007. Hmm I wonder was there anything going on to edge it over? Let me see there was bad mortgages by Fanny May and Freddie Mack and the threat of a completely unfriendly political oppressor looming in the future; you know, spread the wealth around, the kind that finds profits in the pockets of illegal immigrants. Of course with all the promise of change in the air there would not have been anything for the corporate world to worry with. If you agree with that statement you are part of the problem for you can not see the forest for the trees.

    Sorry, I agree with the Vice President. He should had took the money and then nicely ask the Vice President about cutting taxes for small business.

        Jim,
        If you have an infection that will kill you how would you handle it, A, Would you let it go?
        B, Talk to your dog about it?
        C, Ask someone who knows nothing – how to fix it?
        D, Get a real pro to help you?
        E, Call them a smart ass, due to the fact they
        grasp how money works?

        This administration is full of Marxist, and the last time I looked this was still the United States of America, land of the FREE, not the land of Slaves to a Marxist Godless Government that these SOBs are working so hard to bring us.

        By the way, do you recall Barry Soetoro, saying that people making under $250,000.00 would not pay one dime more in TAXS?

        Well guess what when you add in the HCR bill, plus the fact that they are now pushing a VAT, and all cost have gone up to inclued State taxs guess what?
        Your going be paying far more than a dime – I figure alone with what they have done just to this point your taxs will be 25% higher overall for 2010, that spreads out over “all Taxable items” and IRS tax’s state Taxs etc.

        Thank God we sold out home and left due to the $38,000.00 per year Property taxs from last year they have just jumped up to $59.900.00 for 2010. I am Glad we left, even though we loved living there.

      • http://naver samurai

        Sorry Jim, but this country will only continue to move forward when we get these fools out of office and elect new leaders. 2010 elections are just around the corner and you have only a few choices in this matter:
        First, choose a candidate that supports the ways of the current administration. This means shredding our Constitution a little more every day and forcing policies on the people, when the people do not want it (Osamacare, cap and trade, etc.).
        Second, you can vote for someone who wishes to take our country back down the path set forth by our founding fathers. This would mean lowering taxes, smaller government size and control, abollishing the self destructive welfare state, etc.
        Third, you can just sit at home and do nothing. If you look at the percentage of people who turn out to vote in national elections, there is never 90% or more voter turn out.
        Which one will you choose to do this coming November? Hmmm…?

    2011 W-2 Tax Forms and Obamacare

    If this doesn’t get to you, then check your pulse. You may be a flatline…

    Should you want to verify this, go to http://www.thomas.gov/, enter “HR 3590″
    in the search box and look for “CRS Summaries.” This is what you’ll find.

    Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A: Revenue Offset
    “(Sec. 9002) Requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee
    the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health coverage
    that is excludable from the employee’s gross income (excluding the value of
    contributions to flexible spending arrangements).”

    Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be
    increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided.
    It doesn’t matter if you’re retired. Your gross income WILL go up by the amount
    of insurance your employer paid for. So you’ll be required to pay taxes on a larger
    sum of money that you actually received. Take the tax form you just finished for
    2009 and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to
    your tax debt. That’s what you’ll pay next year. For many it puts you into a
    much higher bracket. This is how the government is going to buy insurance for
    fifteen (15) percent that don’t have insurance and it’s only part of the tax increases,
    but it’s not really a “tax increase” as such, it a redefinition of your taxable income.

    http://www.freedomspeaks.com/letter/…provisions-sec

    Also, go to Kiplinger’s and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes for 2010 that
    could affect you.

    • Anthony

      THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALL NEIGHBORS NEED TO HEAR ABOUT. Spread the word folks … print it out if you have to… but, spread the word.

  • woodbutcher

    Biden may be laying blame on bush for this mess but we all know that when it comes down to it that the obama / biden crime family are working for the same people that the bush /cheney crime family worked for .Until America realizes that NIETHER the rethuglicans or the dimwitocrats are both working for the same master’s and that we need to remove ALL dems and ALL rep’s we are going to have just more of the same . we need new political partys that are willing to promise and follow through with term limits and that will shut down the federal reserve and take back control of our currency and to shut down at least 15 of the 16 known intel agencies that protect the banks and oil company intrests over the well being of the american people

    • Mike

      woodbutcher, I share your frustrations about our gov’t. However, I am of the opinion that we simply need to vote everyone out of office in both parties and simply put new blood in. I don’t think we can get a third party elected, it would just split the vote. The more viable answer is no matter what your party is, vote in new people. This will send a clear message. And if that fails, do it again. I guarantee you this will straighten things up the fastest. I can not believe anyone with half a brain can be happy with the way our country is being run. The blaim runs deep but ultimately we are to blame if we do not ‘change’ things by voting them all out.

      • JC

        Mike, woodbutcher makes a valid point. Until we shut down the Fed, it doesn’t matter who we vote in, they’ll end up bought off in no time.
        And if cash doesn’t work on them, threats will.
        End the Fed and we might have a new place to start.

      • JeffH

        JC, end the Fed would be a great start, unfortunately Ron Paul’s “Audit the Feds” bill was defeated by the Dems in a somewhat close vote…the Democrats don’t want accountability in government.

        As for Biden, what else can one expect. The manager at the Ice Cream store did say he didn’t think Biden was kidding with his “smart ass” remark and that Biden was trying to schmooze him with an apologetic “just having fun”. Biden is just a classic oaf.

      • JC

        Jeff I read about the bill being defeated. You want to bet that the good ol boys over at the Fed spent a small fortune buying politicians and coaching them on just how to keep the good ol boys over at the Fed out of the limelite.
        Funny thing about cockroaches hey? They scurry when you put them under light.
        It’s a blow to the freedom movement at any rate, and I guess it’s one avenue of civil protest that’s been shut down which is leaving us fewer options isn’t it?
        Still, there is always the final option….

      • George McM

        Mike,
        I agree that we need to vote the politicians out but we need to be selective. There are a few that are constitutionalists and they should be left untouched. In my State (SC) I have my Congressman, Joe Wilson, and I want him untouched. My 2 Senators fall into 2 categories. Jim DeMint is a keeper. In fact that is where I am spending my money, backing his choices all around the country. Graham, on the other hand, is a RINO and needs to go. When he comes up for re-election, it is our job to replace him with our candidate. We the people have been the cause of the mess in DC and we the people must be the cure.

      • rwnut

        George McM…You are right. There are some Republican Congressmen who are fighting for the Constitution and America. Joe Wilson is a Hero for calling “THE LIAR”,a liar! He is the only one we heard the truth from that day.Vote out the RINO’s. Keep the Constitutionalists.

      • Jim Wright

        I agree with that 100%. ALL the incumbents need to go and get some just plain common sense citizens in there.

      • http://NONE COLLEEN

        Then why do 97% of encumbents get back in??

      • DaveH

        Mike,
        I have been hearing that “don’t split the vote” mantra since Jimmy Carter trashed our economy. It’s bogus. We will never, I repeat, never get our Freedom back by voting for the lesser of two evils. Both major parties are complicit in growing Government and you’re hoping and dreaming if you think that will change by putting in new Republicans or Democrats. Both parties abhor Freedom. The Democrats don’t respect your ownership of your money and other property, and the Republicans don’t respect your ownership of your body. Both parties want Big Government.
        The only way to get back to the country that our founders established is to vote Libertarian – The party of principle.
        Libertarian’s think theft is wrong, whether done by individuals or by people in Government.
        Libertarian’s think killing is wrong (except in self-defense) whether done by individuals or by people in Government.
        We don’t make exceptions for our morality.
        And we don’t pretend to know what is best for other people. We don’t try to impose our individual lifestyles on others (that includes religion).
        If you want Individual Freedom, Personal Responsibility, Free Markets, and Limited Government, there is only one choice:

        Them’s the facts DaveH.

    • alpha-lemming

      Hmmmm…. I don’t disagree that both administrations may have, for lack of a better word, had puppet masters. However, in the B/C case they would have been capitalists… worst case scenerio of the robber-baron variety, whereas O/B are communists. The two systems are antithetical to each other. Rather than a third party (unless Libertarian) the best thing for the country would be a really healthy dose of anarchy. And I mean that in the classic OED definition.

  • Ricardo Palmero

    If BiteMe Biden said somethig like that in Texas, he would likely have a manager come over the counter and administer what normally happens down here, A Country AssWhoopin. Because of that legacy of independent but respectful thought, Asses like Biden and othere in D.C. don’t function very well in the Lone Star State. Thank you God.

    • Kinetic1

      Look guys, it was a bad choice, but we are not getting the full picture. For one, this article fails to mention that the store manager said he had a good time bantering with Biden. If you look at the video, Biden fails to respond to the original comment, which the manager says did not seem to please him. It’s several minutes before the “wise ass” remark, and there is a lot of noise in the room. The two men are facing each other, but we can’t hear what, if anything the manager is saying. What we do “hear” has to be reinforced by captioning, and the news only tells us what they want us to hear. For all we know, Biden is responding to another comment as well. If we knew what was being said, his remark may have come off as more of a humorous response. If the store manager says they were having fun, save for the tax reference, why do you question his honesty?

      No doubt about it, Biden’s mouth gets him into a lot of trouble. I don’t know what sort of family dynamic he grew up in, but it must not have been too genteel. Still, given what we have heard coming from the mouths of other politicians when they were not aware that they were being recorded, we know he is not alone.

      • Doc Sarvis

        Thank you for the clear headed clarification.

      • American Citizen

        You must not have heard the store manager’s interview on Hannity. He said Biden did not seem to be joking.

      • Kinetic1

        Honestly, no I didn’t. Though I will listen to a lot of Fox TV, I have a hard time listening to Hannity for vary long (a subject for another time.) I was speaking about the managers response to questions that day.

        I have no doubt that V.P. Biden was not pleased with the comment. It has been hard to convince the American people, even though the statistics are there to see, that they have already cut taxes for the middle and lower income earners. If I had put through tax relief during one of the worst economic periods in history, I too would be frustrated by people who failed to notice.

        So I will admit, as I did before that he did not look pleased by the comment, but I’m still curious why he waited to call him a smart-ass until several minutes later? Did the manager have anything to say about that on Hannity?

      • DaveH

        Hannity does come off as very partisan, but he makes no pretense about his ideology.
        My favorites on Fox are John Stossel on Fox Business Network and Judge Napolitano (Freedom Watch) on Fox Business Network.

      • DaveH

        I just read the rest of your comment. Tax Relief? Who are you kidding? The huge increase in spending has to be paid by somebody and if it is the rich they will just increase the prices of their goods and services to the public or they will go out of business which will cause a shortage of those goods and services (thus higher prices).
        There is no free lunch. The sickening thing is that as the economy declines further, the politicians will suggest more poison (regulations and spending) for the cure, and a large part of the ignorant population will support those errant policies.
        Big Government is the Problem, Not the Solution.

      • American Citizen

        Biden probably is not a fast thinker and couldn’t think of a reply immediately. I think he was angry he was shown up, so came up with that stupid remark a couple of minutes later.

    • JC

      Biden would much rather us “peons” just do whatever we’re told and like it…because Hey! Only the government knows what’s good for us and we should all behave the way we’re supposed to as we’re led one more day towards slavery.
      Be Nice and do as you’re told.

      OR Stand up and let up and let these parasites know
      that they only exist at our good graces, period.

    • DaveH

      So now we’re “smart asses” for wanting to keep some of our own money. The Silver Lining in this cloud is that the current administration is revealing like never before what these politicians really think about the citizens.
      Here’s another one revealing the contempt these politicians have for the citizens:

  • John Pernell

    What do you expect from a lier who said he went to a college and didn’t.He need to keep the other person lower than he is. biden is nothing more than a common thug. It seems the people that are running this country are people that couldn’t make it in the real world if they had to work a real job,sweat,and get dirty! He wants to be the cat’s meow, but comes off as the cat ass! It is amasing he forgets where he came from. Again just another street thug.

    • Doc Sarvis

      Actually, he did go to college and graduated. He got his Bachelor of Arts degree from Univ. of Deleware and his Juris Doctor from Syracuse Univ. College of Law.

      • Harold Olsen

        Yes, and he plagiarized his term paper.

      • Doc Sarvis

        Yes, I said he graduated, I did not say he excelled.

      • Angel-Wanna-Be

        Harold Olsen__GO figure!

      • Jane

        Wonderful. But there’s a saying in Yiddish, just because he sat in a classroom and warmed the seat doesn’t mean that he learned anything. Sorry, but regardless of how long a fool stays in a classroom it doesn’t make him either wise or a scholar, it only makes him a fool with a piece of the skin of a dead animal (sheepskin) with some scribbling on it that he can hang on the wall. Abraham Lincoln didn’t go to college but believe me, he was more of a scholar than Biden ever was, is or shall be. What he has is, (again in Yiddish) setzfleish (a padded backside), not wisdom and certainly not class.

  • Angel-Wanna-Be

    Somebody oughta ducktape Bite-me Bidens mouth shut!__I haven’t heard anything credible, coming out of his mouth, since he took the office of VP, other than we he touted, “Obambi will be tested”. Obambi’s being tested alright, tested by the American people. As far I’m concerned, Obama get’s an “F”!__ BTW, Obama’s riding that “Blaming Bush Pony” for all it’s worth too__Suggestion, Change horse’s guy’s, that horse is dyin, and you have the reigns’!

    • Jim H.

      Angel, Instead of shutting Biden up, we should have microphones on him 24/7. His mouth just really lets people know what this administration really is.

      • Angel-Wanna-Be

        JimH, Good Point!!

      • Carol Dines

        Perfect, wish we really could do that to all of them

        Carol, even if we could “put microphones on them,” “WHO” WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROSECUTE THOSE DEVILS?

        ALL of the “Washington Wolf Pack” have been, are now doing and will CONTINUE to “DO AS THEY PLEASE” and WHY DO THEY DO AS THEY PLEASE with our Laws, our Constitution, our Culture, our FREEDOMS? . . . because THEY KNOW THEY CAN! No one has stopped them yet! . . . have they?!?!

        Get used to this fascist, marxist, socialist, anti-American government because “we ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”

      • Claire

        JimH–Wouldn’t it be fun to be with Biden for an evening–get him drunk–I bet we would find out everything!! He would talk non-stop. I started to say he reminds me of an old bloodhound, but I retract that statement since I love dogs!

      • http://PersonalLibertyDigest enough?

        the very serious issue is the utter contempt that this ‘administration’ has for every American citizen.
        this no longer is about political differences, it seems that this ‘administration’ really dislikes the American people.
        my wife and i love America and it’s people. For the first time in our lives we are worried about what this ‘administration’ will do
        against our parents, children and our grandbabies. Contempt seems
        to be their response to anyone who raises questions about actions and statements THEY make.
        Anytime a government acts above the ‘rule of law’ it ends with civil disorder and economic collapse.
        We Americans must wake-up to this threat…NOW!

      • JC

        You’re right, this isn’t about political differences anymore. There’s nothing left to debate and the fight for American survival has begun.

      • Jana

        enough?,
        I have noticed the same thing. Even on these sites, some liberals have the same bitter contempt for any conservative ideas or ideologies. We are attacked in every way, and they are getting meaner and more obnoxious about it every day. On the same note we have a few liberals on these sites that are good decent people.( Misguided, but still decent.)
        So much for the so called ‘better’ party, because they definitely are not a nice party. It seems like most of them have such a drive of hatred and inolerance to anone who doesen’t agree with them or their agenda.
        On the other hand the Republicans seem to give up and give in to the Democrats on most issues.
        Take the Supreme Court Justices. When the Republicans had the votes, they still bowed down to who the Democrats allowed in as a SCJ. But boy the Dem.’s picks seem to just sail right on through. Even the ones who have extremely liberal and socialistic agendas.
        Its almost like the Republicans have no gumption or willingness to fight for what is right for this country. This is a major concern to me, and we need to pay attention to who we elect.

      • DaveH

        Jana,
        In my lifetime, I don’t recall the Democrat Party being nice at all. I will say that they generally don’t agree with the US being the World’s policemen. That is a good thing.
        But the rest of their platform calls for running roughshod over people’s ownership of their money and property. They want to do away with the voluntary contracts of Free Markets and instill instead their heavy-handed regulations to achieve what they think best; damn the public.
        There is little nice about the Democrats. Nice people don’t force their way on others.

        Did you hear that our illustrious out of touch congress has passed a no limits budget? Just more out of control spending. they just don’t get it. We have a bunch of brain dead idiots runni8ng our country. They didn’t even vote on it, just pushed it through. Nancy Pelosi needs to go along with everyone else.

      • JC

        Jana, It’s completely in line with the agenda to destroy the US, its economy and its people. They want one world government and we’re the only thing standing in the way. Make no mistake, they intend to push as far as they can and I’d bet my last dollar that they have martial law on the menu. (What are all those FEMA camps for anyway?)
