Joe Biden wants to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. He wants government to do the taking, apparently out of the belief that some rich people are such stingy assholes that they won't help people on their own. And he knows from experience. Here is the info on his charitable giving for the last decade:
Adjusted
Gross Income Charity1998 $215,432 $195
1999 $210,797 $120
2000 $219,953 $360
2001 $220,712 $360
2002 $227,811 $260
2003 $231,375 $260
2004 $234,271 $380
2005 $321,379 $380
2006 $248,459 $380
2007 $319,853 $995
Total $2,450,042 $3,690
$2.45 million earned in ten years, $3,690 given away in charity. What a tool.
I, on the other hand, don't believe in stealing from the rich to help the poor. My wife and I gave over $8000 to charity last year (a typical year for us) while I was still going to school. Our income was far less than half of Biden's yearly income. And we doubled his giving for a decade in one year.
My wife and I don't give to charity to flaunt our goodness, and that isn't my point. Almost everyone I know gives like we do. But I will definitely take the opportunity to use it to point out Biden's hypocrisy.
Here's a possible slogan for the Obama campaign:
"High taxes: The only way to make useless asshats like Joe Biden help people who are less fortunate."

Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.Boy, a final official number that came in over a trillion bucks would really bite them in the a**.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Arizona GOP Primary voters shows McCain ahead 48% to 41%. Three percent (3%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. Following the announcement that Sarah Palin would campaign for his reelection, McCain opened up a 53% to 31% lead over Hayworth in January. The two men were in a near tie in November.By my math, McCain's lead shrunk from 21 to 7 in two months. Hmmm.

[House] leaders are mulling a rule that would allow the chamber to "deem" the Senate's version of health legislation as passed, without actually having to vote on it. Imagine how useful this trick would be in daily life. You could make unpopular decisions without actually appearing to make them. That excruciating Thanksgiving dinner at your brother-in-law's? You "deemed" that you attended. . . . It's understandable that some House Democrats wouldn't want to cast a direct vote on the Senate bill . . . before moving to change it. But a procedure this transparently gimmicky just adds to the cynicism surrounding the bill and opens it up to unnecessary court challenges.

In hypothetical match ups with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) in the general election, Campbell leads Boxer, 44% to 43%, while Boxer leads Fiorina, 45% to 44%, and tops DeVore, 45% to 41%. Both findings are within the survey's margin of error.
