Biden: Americans Not Buying McCain's "Halloween Costume" of "Change"
October 24, 2008 5:25 PM
ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Friday crossed West Virginia to Virginia, bringing with him his new “Halloween costume” attack on Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
“I know Halloween is coming,” the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said in Danville, VA. “I know it’s coming, but this takes change, the notion of change, to the extreme. I mean look, this change costume is one that the American people are not going to buy on John McCain’s body.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, I never saw a guy run so far so fast from a sitting president in my whole life,” Biden continued.
“And George Bush, I’m told, came out today and voted early and said he voted for John McCain,” added Biden. “I guess that’s called returning the favor.”
In Danville, Biden emphasized to voters that the number of visits the Democratic ticket has made to the area is a testament to how competitive they are in this region of Virginia.
“If nine visits between the two of us, Barack and me, doesn’t demonstrate how clearly Barack Obama and I plan on competing, competing for every single vote here in central, southwest, southeast Virginia, throughout all Virginia, I don’t know what I can say folks,” Biden noted before the crowd of 600. “We need ya.”

Right on Biden. Don't worry about the McCain-Palin team. They are shopping for Halloween candies for the special need children. I hope they remember some folks without jobs and homes too. They should spread and share some of their shopping spree with them. Did they help Joe the plummer with his taxes?

Atleast Biden understands basic american civics.

Obama has no need of any mask. He has been challenged by the best politicians America has to offer and he brushes aside the attacks. What keeps this man so calm?. ..................

Tired hearing the cute little sound bites Uncle Joe. What about explaining how your President is going to turn around our current economic troubles...I am beginning to think you really have no clue as to how obama is going to do it..Is he to be tested on his issue as well because raising taxes and spending will only increase our chances of falling into further trouble..

Bill Clinton was talking obout the earth quake today, just right after the rightious wind in Florida.But Im hoping for the bridge in Alaska, that would connect right into Russia. So I could just drive over all the way to Moscowa. Or go to Cuba for my vacation.

Humility, keeps him calm? The same humility that ok'd the building of a Greek temple, at the cost of 5.3 million, to give a speech?
The same humility that garnered him almost half a billion since the primaries?
The same humility that's charging the press a pretty penny to cover his election night activities?
The same humility that admits when he's wrong?
The same humility that that spent $105 million in 2 weeks?
The same humility that pays the women on his campaign staff less than McCain pays the women on his?
The same humility, that disabled an installed security device, so they could accept contributions from John Galt, Saddam Hussein, Nodda Realperson?
The same humility when going back on his word, and opting out of public funding?
The same humility that wants to redistribute others wealth (stealing), when he gives so little of his own to charity?
The same humility that espouses wanting to help the working man, then mocks him for simply asking a question, when his answer was what caused all the hooplah?
The same humility that hung around Ayres, even knowing his past?
I sense more tricks, then treats on this one.
Wasn't it Biden who said today.....the Bush administration has decided to adopt Barack Obama’s withdrawal plan, too
Another outright lie, disguised as a gaffe.

Does Obama help his brother in Kenya, who lives on $12 a year? NOPE!!!

Halloween may come and go with the witches, devils, and skeletons as in the past but after Obama is elected on November 4, the devil and his crew will be in charge of our great country unless people wake up.
McCain/Palin for traditional/decent American values. Obama does not represent the people who have made this country great in the past, individual resonsibility and a day's work for a day's pay and live within your own means, not on someone else's hard earned money. He is just too radical. His change is DESPAIR for too many Americans. Both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton have stated very clearly that Barack Obama is not qualified for President. Nothing has changed. His hidden agenda is that of Ayers, Rezko, Rev. Wright and Trinity Church. Twenty years of listening and learning has embedded their beliefs into his heart, soul and brain.

McCain is always wearing a mask. He puts on a false face every time he claims to want to help the middle class, when he is really for tax cuts for huge corporations.
McCain puts on a false face when he says he wants to make health care more affordable, when he really proposes taxing my presently tax free health benefits and he wants to deregulate insurance so health insurers can make even bigger profits while my insurance covers less and less and costs more and more.
McCain wears a false face when he
claims to think the whole Ayers thing is "real issue" when he knows its just an excuse to call Obama a terrorist
McCain wears a false face when when claimed to want to run a clean campaign, but has runs the dirtiest, most vile, smear campaign ever, completely devoid of issues.
And on and on..... McCain has no honor. He has been revealed as a shallow man willing to do anything and say anything to win the election.
Everyone should read the New York Times editorial endorsing Obama - It was a side by side comparison. McCain did not measure up.

OBAMA’S OCT 1-15 SPENDING = $105,599,963.76
That’s more than $293,000 an hour.
It’s also 49% of EVERYTHING McCain has spent the entire time he has been running for president ($216,769,840).
By contrast, McCain’s Oct. 1-15 spending was $9,246,618.70 (or $26,000/hr).

what the hell does mccain want a costume for --he already looks like carise--the mummy.

Speaktruth said: McCain wears a false face when he

Ummm no he didn't claim Obama was a terrorist. You don't pay attention. He said Obama's judgement should be questioned.
Have you read Ayres manifesto? In his quest to over throw the government, and turn everyone from capitalism, those that couldn't be re-educated would be exterminated. He estimated that to be 25 million people.
Now...Obama knew about his past, yet still hung out with him. Hmmmmmmmm.
The New York Times? LOL Holy cow, where have you been? They've printed so many retractions..it's not even funny. They're losing readership , and their company is in the hole. Their stock is now considered junk!
What was once a great newspaper, and held to a high standard of being a stand between, for the people, and the government, is now a biased , hateful, waste of paper, and ink.
The msm's have proven forver, that true journalism is dead, and trust for half of this country toward them, is gone.

mccain could dress up as a north vietnamese--and do a little singing --just like old times---the hanoi songbird.that is what is called treason.

So is what Ayres did. But that's ok. He has cred since he's Obama's pal.
Posted by: Jeanie | Oct 24, 2008 7:08:31 PM
The mere fact this isn't being investigated, or reported, makes all that look the other way, accessories. Knowing a crime is being committed, is the same as if you committed the crime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just realized something (it’s been awhile since I wrote credit card code); I don’t believe any standard automated service would accept simply the unverified credit card number. They either are doing it in collusion with a credit card processor willing to accept a high rate of fraud, or they are manually re-entering the card number and amount as you would do in your neighborhood sandwich shop. Either way, there is extra work that actually has gone on to perpetrate the fraud.
The other issue to understand in this is the vendor’s involvement, because that is a very suspicious arrangement. They very likely are taking in excessive number of bogus charges. They have to make good on the ones on which a customer complains, but the question is; is the company getting reimbursed from the Obama campaign or essentially making a multi-million dollar illegal contribution by eating it and serving as a money launderer for one of Obama’s billionare friends? And bogus ones not caught by the credit card holders, or reported (or addressed after the election) don’t enter into the picture. One wonders how clear is the charge showing up on the bills; Many internet purchases end up as pretty arcane entries on statements. Lots of questions, very few answers, and very little time to find them.

mccain the worst want to be pilot ever in the navy--good old crash and burn---lover of the north vietnamese---gasve military saecrets to the enemy--his past has caught up with him-----a disapointment to his father --and a failure to his country.
Posted by: rodney | Oct 24, 2008 7:11:51 PM
mccain has mental problems and still cannot acept his fathers scorn---still trying to prove something---a habitual lier and a self confessed failure ---read his book nit wits
