I agree with Cyber. Biden's remarks may have been controversial, but read what Romney has to say about Obama:
Quote:

The president's re-election effort, Romney said Wednesday, "is all about division and attack and hatred." Obama, Romney added later while campaigning in Charlotte, is an angry man who "will do or say anything to get elected."

Attack, anger, hatred from Obama? I think Romney is mixing up the president with Rush Limbaugh. IMO, the far right is hands down the winner of the Oscar for hatefulness. They hate single Mom's, no matter what the reason for their plight - they're all welfare queens.
They hate the deperate people who cross the border illegally looking for work. The right's claim is that they come here to jump on all those government "hand-outs" and live a life of ease, smoking pot and watching cable TV. The right forgets to mention that one of the first things most of these programs require is proof of citizenship. It's difficult for an American citizen to get any help from the so-called government "safety net" and next to impossible for an illegal to do so.
The tea party hates the elderly and the disabled and in their online forums they often post that such parasites on society should be left to die. Many states have ridiculous limits for annual income to be eligible for Medicaid. Texas puts the line at $5,000/year. Colorado sets it at $9,000 a year. What a joke! Someome who earns $5,000 a year can pay for medical expenses out of pocket? Yeah, right.
The reason the Romney campaign can offer only attacks and never a solution is that Romney's "solutions" would be rejected by most. Vouchers instead of Medicare? Cutting defense spending costs by going after the VA which is already wildly under funded? Doing away with HUD in an era of recession where more and more families are looking at life on the streets?
No, Romney won't discuss such things. Like the bully on the playground, he'd rather shout nasty names at his opponents then actually stand up for what he believes in. Because what he believes in is a government that benefits the few at the cost of the many.
