Joe Biden: No friend of the working man

Michelle,

About 11 or 12 years ago, I was the foreman for a small blacktop company in Delaware. ( I still live in Delaware today) We paved good ole’ Joe the Senator’s driveway. At the time Joe explained he couldn’t afford it, so we worked out a payment plan. He was supposed to pay us 6k down then 1k a month for the next six months.

He paid the down payment (cost of materials) but Joe never made a single payment. After about 6 or 7 months, we finally got a lawyer and threatened to take him to court. He finally got his brother to pay us the money he owed. I don’t believe we ever got the interest we asked for.

Because of size of the company (about 5 of us) I never got my vacation pay that summer!

True story!

I ended my blacktop career in 99, but I’ll never forget this.

Joe Biden: He’s just like you and me…except he’s not.

Ha! Good one, PA! But does that mean Pelosi is “Smirkette?”

Actually, I was just quoting an earlier post and giving an answer to that.

How low MM has fallen to by hyperventilating about a possible unpaid bill from ten years ago.

Perhaps you should not have skipped those
English classes to go to Math Club. Is that even English?

And, as TooMuchTime said above, it is perfectly alright for the liberal media to go after Joe and give him and Obama Body Cavity Search (OBCS) for daring to ask “the one” a question that made the “messiah” reveal his true intent.

How low have YOU sunk?

Klingons have always been cheap and untrustworthy.

I’m joining late, but I couldn’t help but think about Hillary’s own practice of stiffing the help.

I wonder if Joe ever paid his brother back?

It’s fun to note that in that picture, Joe “Hairplugs” Biden has a Chia Pets sign over his shoulder.

Coincidence?

Heh. Probably part of the photoshop. I doubt Biden has ever been inside a Home Depot.
