Press Release from the office of Vice President Biden

I'm sure some of you are aware that I've been considering running for President for the last two weeks. The rumors are true. Today, I filed to enter the Presidential race, to complete President Obama's unfinished legacy. We have a lot of work left to do, from taking down terrorist organizations across the world, to defending the rights of the poor underprivileged and left behind. Above all, we need to stop the dynastic attitudes that the Clinton's seem to have. I give my word as a Biden, that we will prevail, and that even if we do not, neither will Senator Clinton.

Joe Biden-Going to Fly Now

Vice President Biden spent most of the month of December almost exclusively in Iowa, hoping to secure a win in an early state and secure momentum. The only days he spent outside of Iowa were Christmas, which he spent in Delaware with family, and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, which he mostly spent in New Hampshire.

Biden was happy to welcome the endorsements of his son Beau, and Secretary of State John Kerry, a sign President Obama's cabinet was falling in line behind him, and a possible prelude to an Obama endorsement (or so he hoped).  While he was less happy to welcome the endorsement of Phil Bredesen he recognized he needed the help in the South, and in Appalachia, and as such, accepted the endorsement, and encouraged Breseden to campaign for him in South Carolina, Florida and other future Southern/Appalachian states.

Biden finally proposed a series of town hall meetings with both his Democratic and Republican opponents (though he assumed that the proposal would not go anywhere, especially with his Republican rivals), two every month until the conventions.

Joe Biden response to Hillary Clinton's ad, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa

It's true that I believe Senator Clinton is more qualified that I am in many respects. However, there are qualifications, and there qualifications. I have served in government service continuously since 1973, and I am one of our parties experts on foreign policy. Meanwhile Senator Clinton seeks to  continue a political dynasty best known for the scandals of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, and Lewinskygate, Pardongate, and numerous other scandals. I have defended her in the past, but I will do so no longer!

Biden Debate answers (minus any replies to other candidates)

We need to offer a carrot and stick approach to North Korea, like what Bill Clinton and George W. Bush did in Libya to persuade Mumnamar Qaddafi to abandon his program. If it means promising Kim Jong-Un we'll protect his regime for the duration of a Biden Presidency to get him to disarm his nuclear weapons, it's a trade I'm willing to make. But the stick, would be more serious than just sanctions, and would likely be an invasion of North Korea, presumably with the cooperation and military support of the Chinese Government.

I'm pro-free trade in many instances, but there are certainly some trade pacts that are completely detrimental to this country. No one in Oman, Morocco, Bahrain or Jordan buys our products, largely because of our foreign policy, nor will anyone in Qatar, where we've had a proposed trade agreement since 2006. So, I'm in support of trade agreements where people are willing to buy goods from us, but I oppose trade agreements that don't favor us.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

First off, I think President Obama forgave me for anything I said about him on the campaign trail, or he never would have picked me to serve as his Vice President. Second, I think the malapropism's are part of who I am, just as Senator Clinton's corruption is part of who she is, or Governor Christie's overeating is part of who he is. I can't really change that side of myself without getting a lobotomy, and that probably would not be a good thing.

[NewYorkExpress]

Biden response to Clinton

The fact is Senator, that what we're doing in North Korea isn't working, and that a new approach is needed. I think that backing in exchange for them giving up the nuclear weapons they already have is a fair deal, especially if it means we don't have to invade them.

On the subject of my malapropisms, of course I have had remorse about some of them after the fact. The Neil Kinnock fiasco left me haunted for years. But what about some of the stuff you've done, like your kissing Suha Arafat after she accused Israel of using poison gas on Palestinians, or your your roles in Pardongate?

Spend the morning in Delaware with family.

Speech in Muscatine, Iowa

Senator Clinton has serious ethical issues that we must address before she skates to victory. Remember Whitewater, when the billing records from the Rose Law Firm materialized in the White House's private residence, with Hillary's fingerprints on it? That's at a disqualification to be our nominee for President, let alone to President!

Governor Christie is fast becoming the de facto and de jure establishment candidate on the Republican side. However, unlike in our party, where any one of our three candidates could be considered an establishment candidate, everyone but Christie, and maybe Governor Fletcher may be an establishment backed candidate. Us Democrats should be able to beat any one of them.

Speech at Modern Woodmen Park, Davenport, Iowa (With Beau Biden)

Many of our allies in NATO are simply not paying a fair share, requiring wealthier and more militarily advanced countries, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and ourselves to pay far more than required to defend everyone else against threats like Russia and terrorism. As President, I will ensure all NATO countries pay a specified percentage of their GDP towards their NATO expenses.

In addition, the Vice-President is also honored to endorse Congresswoman Berkeley's campaign for Senate, as well as the Senate bids of Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy, and Richard Carmona.

Biden Victory/Concession Statement

Obviously it takes a tremendous amount of courage to enter the race in December and fight the heavy favorite to an essential draw in delegates. However, we did not win, and we are disappointed in that. We will continue on through New Hampshire and Nevada to at least South Carolina, and hopefully win the nomination, and continue President Obama's work.

[NewYorkExpress]

Biden debate answers (minus responses to Clinton/Feingold)

1. I'm somewhere in the middle. Unemployment is coming down thanks to the work the Obama Administration is doing, but there is more we can be doing. We need a new New Deal, with programs similar to the WPA, NIRA, CCC, and beefing up the NLRB.

2. I am definitely in favor of same-sex marriage. It is despicable that we deny two people who are madly in love the right to get married, just because they are the same gender.

3. I appreciate the concern about how I run my campaign, but what people miss is that Senator Clinton has some very real vulnerabilities. She's got a habit of lying to get places. Remember in 2008, during the run-up to the Pennsylvania Primary when Senator Clinton lied about ducking sniper fire in Bosnia, when she was actually greeted by smiling children? Or, again in 2008, when Mark Penn, then Clinton's chief strategist was caught promoting a free trade deal that Clinton opposed, and instead of firing him, she demoted him, proving she valued winning over message? Is this the person we intend to nominate? I know I'm not perfect either, but I'm a far better candidate than Senator Clinton is.

Senator Clinton claims she is for keeping assault weapons off the streets. How can we trust on her that when she said during her 2008 campaign that she had "fond memories of being taught to shoot by her grandfather"? That sounds like a lifelong member of the NRA to me.

Meet Voters in Barrington, New Hampshire

January 5, 2012

Speech at the Kohl Center, Madison, Wisconsin (with new endorsee, Russ Feingold)

I am truly honored to have Senator Feingold's endorsement forward. It means a lot to me to get this endorsement, and I give you my word as a Biden that I will honor it and respect it. Should I win the nomination my running mate will be a progressive, much like Feingold. Should I win in November, I will fight to bring back Glass-Steagall, to make sure our remaining workers get a fair deal in the labor market, to get our unemployed the education they need to be competitive in a new field, and to make war a last resort, whenever possible. President Obama wanted to dream of every one of these things, but hostility from Republicans in Congress stopped him from accomplishing any of it. It's time to finish the work.

Speech at Holman Stadium, Nashua, New Hampshire

I don't quite get why Republicans such as Governor Christie and Governor Fletcher are attacking Obamacare as hard as they do. Sure, it's not perfect, and single-payer probably is better, but have you tried getting single-payer health care through Congress? Obamacare is probably the best we'll be able to do for quite some time.

Speech at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, Manchester, New Hampshire
You know, I've been wondering this, and I'm sure Senator Clinton is too...why is General Clark running as an Independent? It's almost like his only purpose is to divide our party in November, which would be a disaster, especially if someone like Ron Paul, Walter Jones or Adam Carrolla, heaven forbid was elected.

Speech at Saint Anselm College, Goffstown, New Hampshire
You know, there's usually more than one race going on during an election year, and here in New Hampshire there's also a competitive Governor's race as well. I am honored tonight, to make not one but two endorsements, in Maggie Hassan and Jackie Cilley, both whom will carry on Governor Lynch's legacy for the people of New Hampshire, and defend this state's men, women and children.

Statement from the Biden campaign in response to Carolla on marijuana, from The Kohl, Center, Madison, Wisconsin

Mr Carolla, you are being disingenuous when you suggest I want marijuana banned. Legislation to criminalize possession of drugs such as marijuana is another tool for racists, and is used in a way that only affects minority groups, and I support decriminalizing marijuana.

[NewYorkExpress]

Joe Biden press release in response to Carolla

Clearly, I've had the courage to admit I am wrong, something my rivals in both parties are not doing. Mr. Carolla, pay attention to your own primary, before you attack us Democrats.

Republican Presidential Debate-From South Carolina


Good evening, I'm Elaine Quijano, and this is a Republican Presidential Debate. We will be holding this debate in a format which allows for candidates to respond to questions from me, as well as respond to each other. I ask that the audience here to be silent, except as the candidates walk onto the stage,
starting now.

To Christie: Some have called you "the most abrasive Governor in America". Do you believe this style will be effective to work with Congress?

To Christie: Do you believe a Northeastern Governor can win the nomination of a largely conservative, Southern party, especially after the failure of Mitt Romney to do so in 2008?

To Fletcher: Do you support repealing and replacing Obamacare, or just straight repealing Obamacare?

To Fletcher: What is your position on renewable energy?

To Jones: Why has your campaign caught fire here, while Congressman Paul's hasn't?

To Jones and Paul: If John Boehner announced he was stepping down as Speaker of the House today who would you vote for to replace him?

To Paul:As the most Libertarian candidate running, can you promise that if you do not do well in the Republican primary, you will not seek the Libertarian nomination? [/i]

To Carolla: Many establishment Republicans have suggested that you are the most unqualified candidate to run for the Presidency in the modern era. Do you believe that you are qualified to be President of the United States?

To All: What is your position on online gambling?

To All: Do you have a plan to end the war in Afghanistan?

[NewYorkExpress]

Biden debate answers (barring responses to Clinton, of course)

1. I will seek to keep the Bush tax cuts for the poor and middle class, but I will seek to raise taxes on the top 10% of wealthy individuals and corporations.

2. I have far fewer ethical problems than Senator Clinton does...and it's really that simple. We really don't need to go back to the scandal-stricken tawdriness of the Clinton White House of the 1990's, which led to Republicans taking over Congress in 1994, and two Government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996. A Clinton nomination will cost us more House seats, and will cost us the Senate.

3. The fact is, if you look at Nancy Pelosi's voting record, she's very progressive on a wide variety of issues. Could we do better? Sure, but Pelosi is hardly a bad choice to begin with.

4. I was wrong to not filibuster Clarence Thomas. I was wrong to allow Clarence Thomas a hearing on the Judiciary Committee. He does not deserve a place on the highest court on the land.

4. It's not my fault Republicans in Congress were more interested in denying President Obama any achievement whatsoever, in what was obviously blatant racism. Seriously, we haven't seen anything this bad since before the Civil War.

Joe Biden Schedule Summary

Vice President Biden spent the eleven days leading up the Nevada Caucuses in South Carolina, with the exception of the final three days before the caucuses, as he made a clear effort to win the South Carolina Primary.

His Election Night rally at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, was held with all surrogates (except for John Kerry and Jim Clyburn).

[NewYorkExpress]

Joe Biden in Carson City, Nevada



You know, it was very nice debating against myself yesterday...but seriously, what does Senator Clinton have to hide? She skipped a debate, which last time I checked was not how you win a Presidential nomination. Did she learn any lessons at all from her run in 2008? Either she's incompetent, she won't answer serious questions about herself and her past, or she has something she's hiding that she doesn't want to get out. Whatever it is, it's not a quality we need in our nominee.

Speech at Brooks Stadium, Conway, South Carolina

A couple of days ago, the Republicans had their primary here, and what happened confirmed what I've been saying from the moment I stepped into the race, that there are only two serious contenders for their nomination, in Governor Christie and Governor Fletcher. Both have enormous flaws. Governor Fletcher was forced to deny rumors that he was considering Congressman Upton as his running mate, and has several scandals from his days as Governor of Kentucky, some of which ended with him being indicted. Governor Christie on the other hand, seems to think that being the nation's most abrasive Governor is a "badge of honor", and he regularly insults the members of the New Jersey Legislature, and his constituents. That is not a man who should be trying to negotiate with Congress, or with foreign governments.

It's nice to actually be in the lead somewhere for once...

Florida is a state that has been and will be one of the most vulnerable to climate change, surrounded on almost all sides by coastlines, and facing the battering of rising waters and more powerful hurricanes. But what do Republicans like Marco Rubio, Ernie Fletcher and Chris Christie want to do to combat this threat? Nothing, because they don't believe in the science, or they think that "God will take care of it'. Look, you can be as spiritual as you want, but God is giving, us, man the tools to save ourselves. We have to use them, rather than waiting for him to fix it for us. That's not how this works.

Republican Presidential Debate-Live from Florida


Good Evening, I'm Megyn Kelly, and I'm the moderator for tonight's Republican Debate. I ask that our audience here be silent except for polite applause as our candidates walk onto the stage, which should be happening any minute now. This debate will have questions from me, and will allow the candidates to respond to any other candidate.

To Christie: You've according to my good friend Karl Rove, become the "establishment candidate" in the Republican field, with party insiders preferring your nomination. What do you have to offer that past "establishment" nominees didn't?

To Christie: You've only been Governor of New Jersey for about two years now. Do you believe that is enough experience to mount a successful Presidential Campaign and, if you win, serve effectively as President?

[To Fletcher:/i] As you are a lay minister who tried to make your church more evangelical, I have to ask, do you believe in Dominion Theology?

To Fletcher: Kentucky has one of the highest percentages of coal miners out of work.
What is your plan to put them back to work?

To Jones and Paul: What do you believe is the best approach to rebuilding Iraq?

To Jones: You've sided with the Democrats on raising the minimum wage. Does that make you an atypical Republican?

To Paul: Which remaining state do you think is your best chance at a victory?

To Carolla: Should you not win the nomination, what other candidate, Republican, Democrat or Independent, would you endorse?

To All: Do you believe our climate is warming, and if so, do you believe that humans share at least some of the responsibility?

To All: What type of tax cuts would you pursue as President?

To All:How do you propose to fix our deteriorating relationship with Pakistan?

Biden Debate Answers (minus responses to Senator Clinton)

Let's get to the bare bones. I need the help to win the nomination, and our party needs a nominee who is not hated by every single Republican in the country, who has so-called scandals a mile high, and who can fight for progressive values without being demonized by the opposition. That would be me, not Senator Clinton.

1. Detroit's problem's are twofold. One is of course, the slump in auto sales, which I intend to fix by creating incentives for U.S Auto manufacturers to build here, and to improve their products, and the other is the city's declining population, inability of property owners to pay their tax bills, and the corruption of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, which led to a multiple count indictment, and Detroit being the laughingstock of Michigan for the past few years. To fix that, we need a strong Housing and Urban Development Department, and most importantly, a competent Mayor and City Council in Detroit. With those things, Detroit can begin to recover from the doldrums it is in.


2. Some of these trade deals have worked in some fashion, like NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO. However not everyone in all countries covered by these deals have benefited from these trade deals. As President, I will seek to renegotiate these deals to be more even for all parties involved.

3. Hopefully there won't be a Republican majority in either house...especially the Senate, where we have the majority, if I'm not mistaken. However, if there is one, I feel I am better suited to work with one, because I am not hated by almost every Republican like Senator Clinton is.

4. I have endorsements from Senator Feingold, Senator Brown, Governor Brown and Senator Sanders all of whom are progressive heroes, and people are saying I'm having trouble consolidating the progressive vote? I don't get it. Senator Clinton isn't progressive at all, she's a mistress of triangulation.

5. I'm definitely an admirer of President Obama's "hope and change" campaign in 2008, and his stimulus package when trying to save our economy back in 2009. However, I'm my own person, and that means as President, I'll be putting a slightly different spin on the job.

It's been honor to once again be on the debate stage, and I have to thank Senator Clinton for bothering to show up. It was soo lonely last time... Thanks as well to everyone who tuned in, and I hope to win in Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Michigan, and maybe even Arizona.

Meet Voters in Ladue, Missouri

Speech in Jennings, Missouri
Republicans are so eager to take on Hillary Clinton, that they've already started rehashing old conspiracy theories. I heard Rush Limbaugh was diving back into the whole Vince Foster imbroglio yesterday...Now I believe that Hillary is innocent of murder in this scenario, but the way Limbaugh was presenting it, he made it seem like Hillary was standing in the room and pulled the trigger, which is something she'd never do, at least not the Hillary Clinton I know. However, there was a coverup afterwards, and I have no doubt that one or both Clinton's were responsible for that.

Meet Voters in Pine Lawn, Missouri

Meet Voters in Woodson Terrace, Missouri

Speech in Ferguson, Missouri
You know, there's something fishy about Senator Clinton deciding to primary the first black President, after losing to him in 2008... it may just be sour grapes, but I sense something more sinister in her repeated challenge to President Obama, and ultimately driving him from the race.

So, Mr. Man-on-Dog entered the race this past week. Of course, I could only be talking about Senator Rick Santorum. By the way, did you see him at the Republican debate yesterday, calling for a ban on Muslim immigrants entering the country? That's an idea only a demented mind could dream up, Senator, and it makes think that you are planning to take us on a Crusade to conquer the Muslim world should you be elected. For your sake, I hope you don't succeed in securing the Republican nomination.

Meet Voters in Lone Jack, Missouri
