Biden on the campaign trail, warning that Republicans will end Medicare.

He's telling it like it is and saying lots of no-holds-barred Biden stuff. : "Amen corner"

Biden in Florida: Republicans will end Medicare

"Make no mistake: If Republicans in Congress and their amen corner of Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich get their hands on the White House, they will end Medicare as we know it," Biden will say, in prepared remarks released by the campaign. /snip

Mitt Romney also supports something the Republican leaders in Congress call “cut, cap, and balance.”

Of course, nobody knows what it means… and that’s exactly what they intend. Because like so many of the most damaging things, it looks and sounds innocuous.

So, let’s cut through it and say it in plain English.

The “cut” is cutting Social Security.

The “cap” is putting a cap on what we ask the wealthiest Americans to pay in taxes.

And the “balance” is balancing the budget on the backs of seniors and middle class Americans.

I'd love to seem him as POTUS, and he hasn't ruled it out, but I'm only concerned about his age. Not that it stopped McCain.

at the nomination in '16. If nothing else, for the fun of it. He loves retail campaigning.
