Biden on Romney: He offers "nothing"

Vice President Joe Biden told CBS News' "Face the Nation" that Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has no plans to strengthen the middle class.

"This is about the middle class," Biden told anchor Bob Schieffer. "And none of what he's offering does anything."

"All they argue is cut. Get rid of that," Biden said referring to Republican economic policies. "What is the Romney answer? There's nothing."

Schieffer told CBS Evening News host Scott Pelley that the White House has determined Romney will be the nominee and the president and vice president have started "turning up the heat" against the former governor.

Tune in Sunday for the full interview during the first hour-long episode of "Face the Nation." Also appearing on the show are Republican Presidential Candidates Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. (Read more about Sunday's show)

Sharyl Attkisson is the bomb and a breath of fresh air at CBS. Watching a recent Bob Schieffer "interview" of Joe Biden, all I saw was a "has-been" who was either unprepared or just a schill for the Obama administration, refusing to question Biden's talking points, content to let him spew so many inaccuracies. I see why Joe Biden won't appear on the O'Reilly Factor or Sean Hannity show or interview with Chris Wallace. He would be taken to task and embarrassed with the truth.

The thing that Romney offers, Joe, is hope and change. Heard that one before, have you?

I've watched Biden in action at a congressional hearing. If there is any personality that was ever a nothing, it was Biden. He was rude, ignorant, pompous and downright disgusting as a human being in his treatment of others at the hearing. On the contrary, Romney is far, far and away the best presidential candidate I've seen in my lifetime and back at least a hundred years. Romney is a saint and genius compared to bumptious Biden. If anyone delivers nothing but grief and communism to America, it would definitely be Biden and "O-blah-blah".

Don't know what country some of you folks have been living in for the last 11 years or so, but after Bush took 8 years of failed policy and lack of oversight to ruin the economy and almost ruin our country, the current administration has, in 3 short years, got us back on track. Unemployment is down,most industries are on the upswing, America is on the way back from a dark period. Please let's not go back to "trickle down" economics. It doesn't work. Romney(mr flip flop) wants to cut taxes on business and cut taxes on the rich, so they will "re-invest", but guess what, they don't re-invest, the just hoarde, and build another mansion, and the middle class continues to shrink. Romney will say absolutley anything to get elected, just ask anyone from Mass. When running for govenor he was "pro-choice", because he knew that was the only way he would ever get elected. Once elected , he had "an epiphany" and discovered he was "pro-life". Makes you wonder when, if ever, he tells the truth. Not sure he knows remembers how too, it's
been so long.

well put Wayno561.
i would add that the trickle down failure had one more feature....the rich who had the advantage of the tax cuts also moved their tax breaks OFF SHORE where the money does no good as investments in the US of A. If Romney is the candidate, will he bring all his Cayman Islands investments back home? Needs a decisive decision so maybe?
I still shudder at the thought of a President Palin....McCain would have croaked under the pressure within a few months. But then, Palin would have resigned mid term.
No thanks, I'll take a man like Obama over the tallest GOP miget anyday.

You call Obama A "Man". Someone who has not visited our troops in Afghanistan or Iraq, our southern border? I call him a COWARD. It is a term that
Eric Holder (one of Obama's top Lieutenants) uses freely.

Biden is an idiot, he offers nothing!

President Obama is a fake. There is nothing free from the Insurance Companies. They pursue profits. The "free" premiums of "free" contraceptives and other contraception's methods will be postponed until the next annual premium calculation, with the reality of the claims paid. Obama is establishing a new 'private company for the ObamaCare with 12 Board of Directors and Executives very HIGHLY paid.
It is a tragedy that Obama conveniently forgets to honor his word. Obama deceived over and over in his Rallies and in his conferences in TV, by saying that the abortion on demand was not covered in ObamaCare. Obama has a compulsion for abortion, to improve the economy, aiming to reduce the population of Latinos and Blacks. Obama lied to the Congress and the US People that the abortion would not be included in the Affordable Care Act. Obama, flat lied to Stupak and 24 DEM about promising an Executive Order eliminating the abortion from the Bill.
Obama flat lied in National Television to the People, to the Congress and to the Catholic Church about the Affordable Care Act, not covering abortion on demand. The Catholic Church is pro National Insurance without abortion, not coercion. After the Act passed, Obama cancelled his executive order, void his commitment, confirming lacking honor and integrity. Republicans and Democrats voted trusting Obama. His deception would be in his history for ever.

I agree with Biden; and what Romney does offer would be adopting Paul Ryan's plans, which are very unpopular; and not beneficial to the average American.

the saddest part is that there are millions of people in our country who will vote for ROBME.. just out of sheer hatred for our President..(southern rednecks basically)

[raymailhot]

Why are you voting the way you do?

That is the only question you have authority or knowledge to answer!

Every time I see Biden I think of the old saying "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". George Eliot
