-----------------------------

I grew up in this small town and I gotta admit, this story warms my heart. Not only because my brother volunteers at the fire station that Biden was calling from, but because he's also a policeman on a department a few miles away. Considering the town has only one stoplight and very few people, him just coming to the town was amazing. Him coming and actually getting things done takes it to a whole new level though.

1. It's things like this that make me so angry at the media when they

constantly sla, Joe for his "gaffes" or so they call them. He really IS a regular guy who cares about regular people. Every time they growl about how they can't let him loose without a script I scream!

4. In this paper's defense

They are a very conservative paper, so the fact that they would even do a story like this leaves me a little shocked.

2. Nice story

3. They left out the part where he allowed credit card companies to charge usurious interest rates...

WTF?

My heart warms every time I think of Joe.

9. There you go again. Sarah would have been so much better!

:eyes:

[Bluenorthwest]

10. No but Joe and Sarah agree

that their God tells them my family is not worthy of equal protection under the law.

[leftofthedial]

15. Sarah has nothing to do with it.

You keep forcing that false choice.

[babylonsister]

21. And you are dredging up history that has been flogged to death on DU.

Mr. Biden is VP. What do you hope to accomplish?

22. memory.

19. Yep every time I see the name Biden I get a warm feeling....

I wouldn't describe it as fuzzy and friendly, though. :grr:

7. Check the link to the story

County Services Inundated on the same web page.... If your eyes weren't open they might be.

13. and our county isn't even the worst off

Some of the counties near us (the furniture/textile producing counties) have unemployment rates above 15%.

Wayne is mainly a tobacco farming county. I know it sounds bad, but even with the new taxes, people still have to have their cigarettes in this economy.

17. Understand

I was with the wife shopping for some furniture at a nearby local store (in St. Louis, here) and the owner was telling us of the plants being closed in NC, which affected the lines he could offer along with the many people there of course.

Just damn sad.

8. Great article. This VP is light years away from the last one.

I can't imagine Cheney caring about anyone but Biden goes out of his way for others.

[MiniMe]

11. Cheney never would have even read the letter

[Jennicut]

12. He would have used for kindling to a light a fire in the VP mansion.

LOL. Cheney has no redeeming human qualities.

[applexcore]

14. Cheney wouldn't even have came

Much less read the letter before he left town or did something about it.

16. A wonderful man, that Joe Biden is. NT

[Runcible Spoon]

18. Hmm I guess none of those firemen have any credit cards.

Thanks Joe. :puke:

20. Go shit on someone else's thread

:hi:

23. bump for those that didn't see it yesterday n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. I know understand Joe's utter contempt for Rudy Giuliani. It was Joe who penned

the legislation that put 100,000 additional cops back on the street. To this day, Giuliani claims credit for cleaning up NYC, but if it weren't for Joe, he wouldn't have anything to brag about.

Joe Biden has never received nor taken credit for this legislation. :(
