In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden had an End of Irony moment last night [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)53. Pssst, as YOU stated above:
MBNA executives and employees contributed roughly $200,000.
Where do you think MBNA was headquartered at the time? WILMINGTON DELAWARE. No doubt those employees included file clerks, tellers, bookkeepers, workers in their lunchrooms, maintenance employees, secretaries, telephone operators, etc. OOOOH, but they worked for MBNA so they must not give to any political campaigns!!
Also, from your excerpt:
Mr. Biden on several occasions supporting the bill and ultimately, with 73 others, voting for the version that passed the Senate in 2005.
He didn't do it on his own, and he did it along with an overwhelming MAJORITY.
Finallly:
"He got the most money from them during that time period.."
MBNA was acquired by Bank of America in 2006 and the thrust of their business changed, along with a reduction of their operations Delaware.
Funny how these things get ignored in an attempt to bash the politician-o-the-day.
As for your statement in the post to which I responded, yes, you DID imply that there were ulterior motives for those contributions, i.e., Biden can be bought, and in this post you all but said it outright.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

True. Then I wonder why she questioned him on that one last week (i.e., "in the wrong primary")?

What are you talking about? All I said was that Hillary did not vote for a Republican.

That's not what she says. I don't think you get elected president of Wellesley Young Repulicans

I hope Biden raised a lot of money. Trump is already waging a GE campaign against him, since he
