So says Robin Hood's cousin, Joe Biden.
From politico (go figure):
Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having "acted like terrorists" in the fight over raising the nation's debt limit.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
"We have negotiated with terrorists," an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. "This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money."
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies' misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: "They have acted like terrorists," according to several sources in the room.
And demoncrats say those on the right use incendiary rhetoric. How counterproductive. Diane, didn't you say this lamer was a friend of yours? What's up with him? Of course the White House and Politico are now back peddling.

THANK GOD for the terrorists
Considering you called him a "lamer" why should I touch that question?

Perhaps to demonstrate an opposing view, that could possibly change the views of those who hold that perception. Unless, of course, you think him a lamer as well.
Biden Charges Secret Service to Rent Cottage Next to His Home
Published August 01, 2011
In between keeping Vice President Biden and his family safe, the Secret Service is also cutting him a rent check every month.
The Secret Service pays the vice president $2,200 per month to rent a cottage next to his waterfront home outside Wilmington, Del., FoxNews.com has confirmed.
The Washington Times first reported that Biden has raked in more than $13,000 since April from the agency tasked with protecting him, and under the terms of their contract could make up to $66,000 by the end of 2013.

Shouldn't he get to rent his place out? I sure wouldn't give up the revenue!
Patriot, I do like Joe Biden. As a person he is a very nice man who will do what he can to help people, the same as you all do. He's not one of the hugely wealthy DC people and remembers where he came from. He is a professional politician, so of course I don't always agree with his politics, but when he was our senator he represented our state very well, which is what we elected him to do. He has always had foot in mouth disease which we all accept as just being part of him.
Behind the scenes in DC he is very effective because he has had so much experience and is well liked by most people even those of opposing views. At least behind the news cameras. Remember, they all play to the camera when that little light is on. He was just ahead of me at UD and I remember him from there on campus,and from when he was on the foot ball team, an ordinary player, not a star. I remember when the football team and the band used to hit the evening dining hall about the same time. Late! We had practice the same time they did.
He had a double major in history and political science and was just one of us in those days. He got backing to open his own law practice after graduation, so yes, he did have a "real" job.Then he was recruited by the local Democrats to run for county council.
As far as renting out the cottage his mother had lived in, why not?
His lovely wife Neilia and little daughter were killed and his two sons were seriously injured in a horrible accident with a large truck not far from here. I remember that as if it just happened. She stopped at a stop sign near Hockessin in December of 1972 and pulled out right in the truck's path. The driver tried to swerve to avoid her, but hit her just the same and ended up across the intersection in the bushes. Joe was told that alcohol was involved but that wasn't true.
He met Jill in 1975 I think, and they married in 1977. Finally. She turned him down several times.
Then you would call him a "moderate" too?
What are you talking about? I don't call him anything. He calls himself whatever he likes, that's up to him. As incredibly judgmental as you are I can just imagine what you'd call him.

You use judgmental (correct spelling, teach) like it's a bad thing. Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything. If one stands for something, then they can not avoid making judgments. Show me anyone who operates otherwise, if you can, and I'll judge them as non-functioning.
How can you
judge Red as judgmental... without judging? Please explain.

Actually she wouldn't be judging Red, she would be observing Red. If Red were making judgments then those are actions that Red is making and thus we are able to observe them.

judgmental
judg·men·tal [juhj-men-tl] adjective
1. involving the use or exercise of judgment.
2. tending to make moral judgments
3. of or denoting an attitude in which judgments about other people's conduct are made
Her 'observations' resulted in the judgment that he's judgmental (moral assessment). An observation would have said 'red did this or that'. The statement, "As judgmental as you are..." is nothing if not a judgment that labels red's nature. Nice try, play again soon.
God judges, the rest of us just have opinions.
I think God must have one helluva sense of humor...Otherwise, She'd wipe this Earth clean and start over...
SHE ? I thought God made MAN in HIS own image-but I think that's a poke-poke from you isn't it ? ;D

I fixed my spelling error patriot :o. Not sure what happened, but it was a good catch on your part. ;D
Yes, being judgmental can be a very bad thing when one is on the receiving end of untrue and incorrect criticism based on lies and deceit. Having an opposing opinion is one thing, but labeling someone a "commie" is slander, not opinion. How would you like it? Looks like I've got to get off this thread now too or I'll deeply regret what I was about to say. GRRRR.

Hell, Diane, I was recently referred to as the antichrist by one of the do-gooders on here. Guess what. I survived and never whined about it.

ches mind.
My chest is just fine, thank you, and would look very strange if I "grew a set" there. Besides, you ARE the anti Christ aren't you? Can't whine about the truth. ;) poke ,poke( just kidding of course.)snort,HaHaHaHa!
God created Man...Then stepped back, took a look and said, "I've got to be able to do better than that..."...And created Woman. ;D

Sorry, that's a title I don't hold nor one to which I aspire.
Like somebody pointed out, just saying "poke poke ha ha" doesn't provide a very realistic cover.

Can't help wondering if He finds all that as humorous as you seem to. Somehow I doubt it.
First, you're the omnipotent all-knowing ruler of this thread, NOW you're on the right hand of God and can judge what God would find humorous? LOL...Patsy, you're priceless...You're a legend in your own mind... ::)
Good grief...If he says something smart alec it is just in fun and I should grow a pair, but if I do it's "cover?" I ain't rising to that bait ,no way. Patriot you are a real piece of work.... double standard and all. He says he doesn't know me but thinks he can judge if I'm kidding or serious... and that's not being judgmental in of it's self? I can't stand it. By the way, why DO tea partiers like terrorists? I wouldn't think so. ;D I'm outta here.

The problem seems to be that you lack understanding. I don't believe I've
ever subscribed to the notion that making judgments is wrong. I'll gladly admit to judging your claimed non-judgmental judgments of Red's nature. I'll never say I don't make judgments... to do so would be hypocrisy... just as it is when you make critical judgements while claiming to be non-judgmental. Seems it's not me that has the double standard. As for knowing you, one can only know what you show.
The following is to show that the judge not crowd that we are judges and will judge now in all matters great and small as well as be judges for angels. :) So yeah we can judge. Nothing wrong with it except in the minds of those who would do wrong. Then they have a problem with judging because, they are doing wrong. You see being judgmental doesn't affect those that are doing right. they know they are doing right and it doesn't bother them.
Where does it say we cannot judge others in the bible? No where does it say that. IN fact we act as judges over other people in courtrooms. You think a jury doesn't judge? Not so. they are as much a part of the judgement as the judge is. They are the ones who judge the evidence and determine guilt or innocence. So they are judges.
1Cr 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Cr 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Patriot,
To my knowledge there is no such thing as "the" anti-Christ' Just plain ol anti-Christ which means no more than a false religion---but I think you already know that. :D
Diane, Biden sure looks like a real liberal to me. He's for big government. Wonder how much money he's voted to
take from people to give it to others over the years? Used to be we had more honest Americans.
I knew he reminded me of somebody famous....
The one on the left is "Walter," Jeff Dunham's dummy.
The one on the right is Obama's...
