Is Joe Bidens statement of?

not raising taxes on mid America.....and saying you can "take that to the bank" echos of gone by politicians saying

"read my lips".......no new taxes? I have watched politics for most of my 59 years and voted as soon as I was able....it sure sounds similar.

Update:

GH Bush said "read my lips"...no new taxes.

Update 2:

Exactly Kirby. So I guess party lines on these kind of issues are irrelevant.

Update 3:

sweetj.....lol.......you are really naive.

Joe Biden is not a saint. None of the politicians are.

Update 4:

rambo.......lol....I hope you don't get all your political information from the movies....LOL.

Update 5:

tric27.....I agree.

    Obama changed his tax policy 2 weeks before the election. He will likely change it back two weeks after he takes office.

    Actually that phrase came from a movie with Steven Segal. Vote McCain and you will see your money go to the rich. And your health care will be worth $5000. 00 for the year. Well your employer will get it not you.

    Unlike Bush, sr., Biden has been known to be extremely truthful to a fault. He absolutely hates to lie, hates to betray the public or his morals and values in any way. If Biden says it, you can 'take it to the bank'. Unlike McCain, who has frequently lied.

    Sounds similar, yet one essential difference- "Read my lips, no new taxes" came out of the mouth of a Republican.
