Biden Attacks GOP Robo Calls, Mocks Palin

Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden accused Republicans of employing "scurrilous" campaign tactics and urged supporters not to be distracted from the economic issues affecting their lives.

Biden pointed to automated phone calls sent to voters in key swing states by Republican John McCain's campaign. The calls attempt to link Democrat Barack Obama to former '60s radical William Ayers.

"The Republican campaign has stepped up its attacks," Biden told a crowd of 3,800 at an evening rally in the Las Vegas suburbs. "You may have heard about the scurrilous phone calls that are coming into homes - in Nevada and in New Mexico, where I was, and in Virginia, where I'm going - that question Barack Obama's character and by implication question his patriotism."

"They don't hurt Barack Obama. They don't hurt me. But they hurt the American people because they're an attempt to distract you from the issues that matter to your daily lives."

At an earlier rally, in Mesilla, N.M., Biden took aim at a comment from rival Sarah Palin, in which she said she loves visiting "pro-America" parts of the country. Biden said he believed the whole country is patriotic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have never been to a state that hasn't sent its sons and daughters to serve its country," Biden said in Mesilla as the crowd of about 2,000 booed Palin's reported comments. "It doesn't matter where you live, we all love this country. And I hope it gets through that one of the reasons why Barack (Obama) and I are running is that we know how damaging the policy of division ... has been.

6. Love that line...

"I have never been to a state that hasn't sent its sons and daughters to serve its country."

That is the very essence of the fifty-state strategy in a single line. There is ONE party that is interested in representing all Americans. There is ONE candidate for President who is interested in serving the interests of ALL of us. The other guys? They think their job is to get 50.1% and the other 49.9% can go hang.

And that is why I am a Democrat, have always been a Democrat, always WILL BE a Democrat.

7. thoughts!

when i saw the pictures of st. louis at the obama rally, just a sea of support; when i read about dimwit bachman, the remarks she made and now the money that is pouring in for her opponent; the thought in the back of my mind is "hey, repubics, payback is a bitch"! when we take over the executive branch and have a veto proof congress, political life for the right wing will be minimal!!!! we will work to undo all tragic messes the repubics have left. if they raise their heads to protest, we will pour money into their opponents coffers. oh, and lieberman, bye!bye!
