    Biden Urges Voters to Just Listen to Republican Candidates

    Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday said Democrats have an advantage in the 2012 election because for the first time in his political career, the Republican candidates are “saying exactly what they believe in.” He said voters just need to listen to what people like Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are saying in their campaigns to understand that only the Obama administration will fight for the middle class and poor.

    Biden, addressing the Communications Workers of America, framed Republicans as out of touch with the struggles of average Americans. He pointed to the issue of falling wages, and said that “the Republicans not only don’t have any idea, no credible plan to fix it, I honest to God think they don’t think it’s a problem.”

    He also argued that Republicans blame unions for many of the country’s economic woes because they are threatened by their influence.

    “You’re the only one with the potential to organize to turn the tide, to change the focus,” Biden said. “You’re the only counterweight out there.”

    Biden also listed off some of the Obama administration’s major successes, drawing the receptive crowd to its feet, and said the election will end with “Barack and me once again taking the oath of office.”

      "Democrats have an advantage in the 2012 election because for the first time in his political career, the Republican candidates are “saying exactly what they believe in.” "

      A Democrat will say anything to get elected. Then after the oath of office you find out what they really believe in. Case in point: Barack Obama. At least the Republicans are being up front before the election.

      NOBAMA 2012

        Yes Roger the GOP are saying what they believe in.........GREED! Protect a few and screw the rest. People that stooge for the right are questionable thinkers, or should I say parrots. The GOP's icons and I'll place emphasis on "CON".

      Patrick - the experiment hasn't failed, the facist on the extremist right have never gave it an opporuntity and are still giving away welfare to the rich, the banks and the insurance companies and wanting to give them more. Let the cronies who wrapped George II around their fingers have total control again and they will again (as in 3 months before Obama became President) be giving away billions to the poor broke bankers and more tax breaks to the upper class.

        The extremist right never gave it an opportunity? What was Obama doing the first two years? Helping the middle class or shoving through his pet liberal agenda? Don't give me that crap about the right being responsible for the mess the country is in. Oh I forgot, blame Bush, again.

      Dear Mr. Biden: Please, watch your use of a sacred name to swear by because this offends persons of many religions.

      Just listen to what Obama is saying, especially if he talks withou the help of a telepromter then decide which republican you will vote for. I like Newt, becuase there is no bull. if he could just have the secret service pick up his ex's then he would have a chnace otherwise it is Mitt in 2012.

      Quote " He also argued that Republicans blame unions for many of the country’s economic woes because they are threatened by their influence." Need I say more. Unions should not have any influence when it comes to governing this country.

      I used to be a Republican, but over the years I've found that the vast majority of Republicans are much like empty headed idiots. They simply could not see that their representatives were bending them over and shafting them while asking them to smile and ask for more. I've admittedly started leaning to the left. Not too far left but just so slightly. I guess I'm considered a moderate. Moderate left, but definitely a moderate. Now I'm not saying I'm the smartest person in the world but I would get dam #$%$ off if someone were to ask me to bend over for them and smile.
      So my only question to you is. As you're bent over and smiling, did you also pay them to be standing behind you?
