Joe wants the GOP to put up or shut up. He's not taking any sh** from the GOP! Even the ones that pay lip service to helping special needs children and then block legislation to support stem cell research. McCain had better rememeber that there is a thin line between love and hate. And Joe is holding the GOP responsible for their views!

((((((“I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?”

Biden received a thunderous ovation when he made the remark at a town hall style meeting this morning in Columbia.

When asked for if this could be interpreted this as being about Palin, Biden’s press secretary, David Wade, issued this statement.

“This is a clash of policies not a clash of personalities. We've heard not a dime's worth of difference between the McCain-Palin ticket and the Bush Administration on medical breakthroughs that millions of parents and doctors believe could save lives and transform the quality of life for countless Americans.))))))

(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain's campaign rebuked Sen. Joe Biden on Tuesday, saying the Democratic vice presidential nominee had "sunk to a new low" by raising a debate over who cares more for special needs children.

Have a sense of humor about it, John. lol. No fair that you can say what you want and whine when Joe and Barack give it right back to you. Talk about the issues, if you can. lol.

Biden blasts McCain policies during Iowa rally

By CHARLOTTE EBY, Globe Gazette Des Moines Bureau

DES MOINES — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden leveled a blistering critique of GOP nominee John McCain’s economic policies and argued during a campaign stop in Iowa Monday that McCain would offer little change to help struggling Americans.

Citing the highest unemployment rate in five years, Biden said a lot of people around the country are hurting and blasted McCain and running mate Sarah Palin for what he said was a failure to recognize the problems.

“If you listened to them at the convention, they made good political speeches but their silence was deafening, deafening, on all the things that matter to the American people,” Biden said.

What McCain or Palin didn’t talk about was about health care, helping college students or pensions, Biden said.

Middle-class Americans are living with a level of anxiety Biden said he hasn’t seen before with the housing crisis, retirement and college tuition costs on their minds.

He ripped McCain’s plan to tax health care benefits extended to workers, which he called a “bridge to nowhere.”

Biden said he found it fascinating that McCain and Palin are claiming the mantle of change in this election, when McCain agrees so much with the Bush administration on policy issues.

“As Barack said, what do they think we are, completely stupid?” Biden said.

Biden touted running mate Barack Obama’s tax plan, which he said would cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans who draw a paycheck and give middle-class taxpayers three times the amount of tax relief over the McCain-Palin ticket’s plan.
