In another thread today a Google Earth photograph reveals the Joe Biden Compound has at least 4 houses, swimming pool, tennis courts, and other amenities. A review of his 2005, 2006, and 2007 Income Tax Returns indicate he reports a net worth of about $470,000. It was reported he has no home note, suggesting his home/homes are paid for. So, how does a person who has never made much more than $150,000 per year amass proterty of magnitudes 10 times or more what he reports to the sentate?
So, Mr. Biden, how many homes do you have. You did not include the value of the four homes on your compound in the report to the senate and the IRS. How many homes beyond the four at your compound do you have? It is legitimate to ask of McCain, it is legitimate to ask you.
How’d he do on his mortgage deal?
(Biden ran for President in 1988 but no one remembers anything about it other than him plagiarizing someone’s speech.) “Although he admits to a tendency to ‘bloviate,’ he thinks that an aggressive advocate [for credit card companies and Big banking???] with rough edges [compulsive teeth whitening?] might be just what the party needs right now. ‘Democrats nominated the perfect blow-dried candidates in 2000 and 2004,’ he said, ‘and they couldn’t connect.’” And instead of blow-dried it’s time to try... the hair plugs candidate?
his son, a Beltway lobbyist, was slapped with an ugly and very embarrassing lawsuit involving the kind of hedge-fund investment firm his dad spends so much time dealing with to the exclusion of real issues that plague real Americans. “R. Hunter Biden, a Washington lobbyist and son of U.S. presidential hopeful Senator Joseph Biden, fraudulently excluded a partner from the purchase of a hedge-fund investment firm, the partner claims in a lawsuit. Biden and his uncle James Biden squeezed investment consultant Anthony Lotito Jr. out of the 2006 acquisition of New York-based Paradigm Cos., Lotito says in a complaint filed Jan. 5 in New York state court. The Bidens lied to Lotito about their joint offer while negotiating a better deal alone,
Hunter Biden, 36, founder and partner of Washington-based lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair LLP, stepped down this month from daily oversight of Paradigm Global Advisors LLC, a unit of Paradigm Cos. that manages investments in hedge funds. He became the firm’s chairman and remains a lobbyist, an unusual dual role as scrutiny of the hedge-fund industry has increased.”
I have four houses in a trust, but I didn’t realize I was hiding them.
Are you just now finding out that we have 450+ economic genius’s in congress. They are all pulling this very quiet maneuver. Do you know why Hassett (sp?) screamed the loudest when the FBI raided Jefferson’s office? Because the guilty dog always barks first and the loudest. Haystack is so dirty 40 tons of bleach would not clean him up. BY the way when does Jefferson get turned free?
M Bank went under in the mid 1970s.
Throughout its various changes of ownership the credit card operation has continued to provide substantial employment to the Delaware workforce.
MBNA went under by overloading itself with uncollectible debt extended through credit cards to people who had no intention of paying the money back.
Joe Biden has to have some connection to these people or he couldn't live in Delaware.
When was Jefferson not free?
We’ve all heard about ‘Dead Pools’...Well, with Biden being the compulsive prevaricator that he is...Perhaps we should have a ‘Lie Pool’...and bet on how long he can go, before he gets caught in a lie, what the lie will be about, and how fantabulous of a lie it is, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Heck we could even have a good debate over what ranking any particular lie would rate on the scale.
>BoD
We could promote it as the: ‘When Will Biden Lie? Pool’.
Or have 3 seperate Pools:
‘What will Bidens First Lie Be?’
and:
‘How Big a Lie Will Bidens First Lie Be?’
The Courts have subsequently ruled that Constitutional standards were violated. On the other hand they have not yet agreed with me that the agents involved should be handed over for prosecution for undertaking an armed rebellion against the Congress of the United States (the penalty for that, of course, is death).
But, alas, we digress.
Hastert should have been much more vigorous in pursuing action against the agents ~ there are entirely too many slugs over in the FBI to let them think they can get away with this stuff.
Now, was Hastert dirty? Bring the evidence.
About a year ago, poor Elizabeth Edwards when asked about their 10,000 sq. ft. mansion said that they saved money by using frequent flyer miles.
You gotta be kidding? if you're not, then Biden is more out of touch with the "average" citizen then Zero (0) is.
BTW, that’s partly the reason why McCain didn’t answer the question. His ranch in AZ has several small houses on it. So it depends on how it was counted.
Ohhhh, then it's all okay. We'll see
I’ll bet they clipped coupons too.
Sorry, that’s not going to fly, that compound’s real estate is worth a fortune, maybe Joe’s second wife is loaded, just like McCain’s. Also, after 36 years in the senate I’ll bet that Joe’s senate pension is worth $6 - 7 million dollars easy.
“Hunter Biden was appointed by President Bush to a five-year term on the Amtrak Reform Board.”
Because daddy spent all those lonely nights riding the rails.
Seriously, how do all these men in their early thirties get the great jobs if it isn’t for Daddy?
That’s what he said in his speech this morning. I think he was trying to be one of us ordinary people.
I just downloaded some drivers, and saw the same thing on a driver page.
As John chartered a private jet to fly his mistress and baby to a hideout (and I think Elizabeth knew about that too).
John Edwards...
"Of course, I still love you. Don't worry, we'll get through this."
As John Edwards political associates funneled money for her living arrangements and numerous private jet trips to visit 'love lips'.
Obama just p!ssed away half of his potential attacks on McCain.
