Schoolyard Bullies

If you watched any of the Republican convention this week, you probably noticed that they spent a lot of time attacking Barack and sneering at people who try to improve their communities.But they hardly spent any time at all telling us how they're going to help people across America who are hurting. That's because they knew they had adopted the most extreme, right-wing platform in their party's recent history. And they knew the American people don't want any more of the same. Yesterday in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden gave a blistering response at a rally in a high school gymnasium, and our team was there to capture it on video. With all the uncritical coverage the Republican speeches are getting this week, we need to make sure everyone who couldn't be at that high school in Pennsylvania gets to see Joe calling out the Republican bully tacticsWatch the video of Joe's response and make sure everyone you know sees it, too.

By the end of the week, Joe had had enough. And when he got going yesterday, it was really something to see.The issue isn't so much what we heard from the Republicans. The attacks the Republicans launched were the same tired, old lines we heard in 2000 and 2004. The issue is what we didn't hear.We didn't hear about the middle class, or housing, or a concrete plan to keep American jobs here. It can be tempting to listen to all the jeering and get sucked in, but it's no substitute for a plan. And Joe Biden saw right through it. Check out Joe tearing apart the Republican distraction tactics and share the video today:
