Check Biden’s giving he makes between $200,000 and $300,000 and the most he’s given in one year is $995. One year he only gave $120 away.
He should put up or shut up. I take that back let him keep talking. And by the way the democrats want MacCain medical records made public. Check Biden’s I think you’ll find a surprise.

That Pork Barrel you so lovingly point out has a big red Elephant painted on it!

I’d think Republicans might want to avoid the subject of pork-barrel spending, given Pork-Barrel Palin’s amazing record of pigging out on OUR tax dollars at the federal trough:
“Now John McCain learns, as we do, that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) sent a 70-page memo to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) [of "Bridge to Nowhere" fame, now indicted] in February seeking $200 million for new Alaska earmarks, and as mayor of the village of Wasilla she lobbied hard for and won more than $26 million of earmarks.
“If you believe Sarah Palin is a reformer, you will believe that the College of Cardinals will summon me to Rome as successor to the pope. Palin long ago hired the prime pork lobbying firm in Alaska, which features Ted Stevens’s son, and Ted Stevens’s former chief of staff, who serviced her pork lobbying account.
“The regular junkets of Palin and her staff to Washington, hustling earmark dough, are legendary in Alaska. Someone will soon add up the airfare, hotel and fine dining tabs to push for the pork, plus the lobbying fees, all at taxpayer expense, starting with Wasilla, continuing as governor.
“It’s good Palin was only the mayor of the small village of Wasilla with only 6,700 people. Just think what bacon `pork-barrel Palin’ would have brought home as mayor of a real city with hundreds of thousands, or millions, of people. Do the math. Give her credit — a town of 6,700 people, more than $26 million pieces of pork. When feeding time at the trough arrives, Palin is the real barracuda!!!
‘This is what happens when an impulsive presidential candidate picks a person he literally does not know, did not vet, and plays roulette with the future of America.
‘Who knows what we will learn next? For now I dub her “pork-barrel Palin,” the Super Bowl champ of the earmarks, the Olympic gold medal winner for pork, the World Series star of hiring insider lobbying firms, now part of one of the great false advertising campaigns in presidential campaign history.”

You’re probably right that to the hard right idealogues, this is like candy…but to the moderate swing voters? You know, that ones that are going to determine this election.
If I’m a lower- or middle-class, moderate swing voter (or even those who qualify as upper class by most scales but make less than $250,000) I’ll probably think, “Meh, if the government asks those making $250,000 or more a year to do the patriotic thing and pay more taxes so that I can pay less in taxes…yeah, that’s not such a bad thing. Give me more of that kind of patriotism.”

For a laugh, watch Billy, the bus driver on the Straight Talk Express.

To paraphrase, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the thief.”
