The Pay Off ; New Book about Biden

edited November 2012 in A Moving Train
Imagine a scathing look at a vice presidential candidate. Put a “R” after that candidate’s name, like Sarah Palin, and you get big-name books, a controversial film and lots of news coverage.

Put a “D” after that candidate’s name, even when he’s still the sitting vice president, and it gets almost no attention. That’s the case with Jeff Connaughton, “a Biden Senate staffer turned lobbyist” who just published a book called “The Payoff” that Politico says “lacerates” the vice president.

    Oh god, are u fucken serious? Dude, gf I give to both the reds and blues. I'm no fan of either party and thought its pretty obvious from my posts. But whatever's clever buddy. I just think its pretty sad that a party fucked up the WORLD for 8 years and then once someone new is "elected" ( :roll: ), they give him shit for basically having the SAME fucken agenda! Wake the fuck up, your country's being ripped right out from under you. Wether you're red, blue, green, etc, same agenda and shit being played for all of us to drink. :corn:

    SERIOUSLY, why is it soooo fucken hard for you people to see??? You know who you are.

    perhaps if you would have put your own thoughts into the OP and given the thread some sort of direction then more people would have contributed.

    i read that and it was just like reading a newspaper article. bland. i read it and my first thoughts were like "ok, what point are you trying to make??" and rather than take over your thread by responding i let it go to see what people would say to further discussion. hasn't happened yet, so i didn't post here until now to explain my lack of action/interest and probably the same for a lot of the people who read the thread and did not respond. based on reading your OP it seems as if you want to turn it into this big "i support biden" vs "i hate biden" pissing match, or compare treatment of palin vs treatment of biden, and i'm not going to do that again...

    Im not in Obama's camp. This book is about corruption on Wall Street and DC. Written by someone that worked for Biden? Biden is a dick? Big surprise! Where have you been? He's been like this his ENTIRE career. Everyone already know this about Biden, its a NON story. If you want to make it partisan and try to get dems pissed go right ahead. It accomplishes nothing but show you dont really care about any issues but instead like to throw mud on the other party's face. They are both guilty, that's why I feel sorry for you. You have no idea what is going on, especially if you think Mitt Romney has good ideas for this country. The guy wears magic underpants! Seriously though... a guy who made his fortune on taking government loans and sticking other people with the bill is who you want "in charge" (har har)? Again... I feel sorry for you.

    Yeah.. there have been no disparaging movies, books or news stories about Democrats.

    None.

    And yet... there was that.. uh... what was that movie "Dreams about my Real Father" that told the story of Sarah Palin and how her mother was a porn star?

    Oh wait...

    Seriously... THINK about it...
    Who wants to read a book about Joe Biden? Really... who? WHO is THAT fucking bored... that they will buy and read a book about Joe Biden? I think the book about drying paint would rank higher than a Joe Biden book... leastwise, on my list it would.
