JOE BIDEN LACK of CHARITABLE GIVING!

Quote from bigdavediode:

I'm kind of hoping he's cheap, though, as I want someone who's cheap in office.

Cheap? LOL. This guy is hardly cheap. He's spending his and his wife's entire salary, every year. I can't call spending $300K a year, cheap.

Warren Buffett should be president based on the idiot logic of this thread, and Bill Gates VP...

They have given more money to charity than likely all of the extremist self absorbed right wing republicans combined...

Let's see, Biden could be making more money as a corrupt lobbyist with all of his political contacts, he could make a ton if he decided to do so, but he decides instead to be a public servant and live on that income?

Oh, the horror...

Damn, he could have married a rich bitch or been the spoiled kid of a former president, but no such luck...

Oh, and I get a kick out of the republicunts who attacked Kerry for marrying a rich woman, but they applaud McBush for living off of the wealth of an heiress...

His son made 1.6 million as a lobbyist for banking concerns who Biden supported. Biden has already covered the "corrupt lobbyist" base.

Wade also suggests that Biden, who is famous for being the least wealthy member of the U.S. Senate, simply doesn’t have piles of money to give. “Like a lot of families that put three kids through college and have an aging parent move in with them, the Bidens aren’t divorced from the realities of everyday life,” Wade says.

Poor Biden. Living paycheck to paycheck on a third of a million a year. Not to mention paying the fee to get his money from the check cashing place since he can't afford a savings account. Times are hard for the Bidens. Guess it's Ramon Noodles for dinner most nights, huh?

Is there anybody even slightly surprised at the left's hypocrisy anymore? Anyone? Bueller?

Cite, please. I am aware that the son worked for a law firm that also does lobbying, but I'm especially interested in the 1.6 million figure that you've posted, unattributed.

(Using this logic, that everybody is guilty because they're related, McCain has the drug addict thief base covered as he's married to one.)

Biden can't win against McCain competing for "corrupt lobbyist" votes. Biden only has one lobbyist son. How many lobbyist girlfriends does McCain have?

McCain's Lobbyist Friends Rally 'Round Their Man

McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates, according to the latest finding from government watchdog group Public Citizen.

".....the son worked for a law firm that also does lobbying"

You're kidding right? If this discussion was about Michael Dell would you say "he works for a computer company...."

It's clear that I far UNDERSTATED Hunter Biden's lobbying fortune.

A firm getting paid is different from personal payments.
"On Biden’s nine accounts, the firm took in $470,000 in that period, according to the reports."
In any case Hunter Biden has quit the lobbyist part of his firm.
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/09/12/bidens-son-quits-lobbying-business/
Hunter Biden was a partner with Oldaker, Biden and Belair where he was registered to lobby for nine clients. Six of his clients were universities, including the University of Scranton and Xavier University. His firm billed a total of $1.7 million in the first six months of 2008, according to disclosure reports that must be filed with Congress each quarter. On Biden’s nine accounts, the firm took in $470,000 in that period, according to the reports.

The decision was a response to Obama’s desire to distance itself from Washington’s influence business. Obama has banned lobbyists from advising his campaign and he doesn’t accept political donations from lobbyists or political action committees.
