Joe Biden

John McCain's answers for the economy -- and we're in such desperate shape -- is the ultimate Bridge to Nowhere. It's nowhere, it takes you nowhere.

I've got also a bridge I've got to sell you. And guess what? It's in Alaska, and it goes to nowhere.

That's what I call a Bridge to Nowhere, an absolute Bridge to Nowhere. That is a bridge too far.

Everyone's seen them. We have no Walter -- you know, we have no Lawrence Welk Museums. We have no bridges to nowhere in Delaware; it's all straight up.

I got all also a bridge I got to sell you here. Guess what, it is in Alaska and it goes to nowhere.

John McCain's answers for the economy and we're in such desperate shape is the ultimate bridge to nowhere. It is nowhere. It takes you nowhere.

That's what I call a 'bridge to nowhere;' an absolute 'bridge to nowhere.' That is a 'bridge too far.'

I'm here as a United States Senator who has traveled to conflict zones all around the world. When I got elected as a 29-year-old kid, I committed that wherever we had soldiers at war, I would be there. I've been into Bosnia and Kosovo…

It's time to be patriotic.

He's the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man.

Hold on, just -- I want to ask you one question about your democracy. Can the people get rid of you?

There is simply no daylight between John McCain and George Bush, at least none that I've been able to discern. On every major challenge we face, from the economy to health care, to education and the war in Iraq, you can barely tell the…

But that is my judgment. For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe more devout than I am, seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.

If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research? Why are not comparing about how you're going to do this stuff?

You never could accuse us of not leading with our hearts, but, in this case, our hearts are in sync with our heads.

I think the issue is, what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe? I assume she thinks and agrees with the same policies that George -- that George Bush and John McCain think. And that's, obviously, a backwards step for women.

Find a happy place, Joe, a place where Sarah Palin is still a small-town mayor and she can't hurt me.

What she says would appear to be some fairly extreme views.

I believe that we need to work towards a more peaceful and stable future for the people of the world, and that means addressing the root causes of terrorism and extremism and working towards a more just and equitable global order.

I wasn't around when Harry Truman was around. But I remember my grandfather saying, when they yelled to Harry Truman, 'Give them hell, Harry,' he yelled back: 'I'm not going to give them hell. I'm going to tell them the truth, and they're…

An uncle of mine, who was a great guy, used to say to me when I was a kid: 'Joey, remember, you're defined by your courage, and you're redeemed by your loyalty.'

We don't have to accept the situation we cannot bear. We have the power to change it.
