Biden is an awful choice for Prez...
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 02:09 AM by BlooInBloo
Seems like there's been overmuch Biden-love lately...

1) A bad voting record in general. His voting record indicates pandering - once he started thinking about running for prez, his voting record improved dramatically.

2) He is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the financial industry. Including his vote FOR the bankruptcy bill.

3) He likes his own voice so much that he steals other people's speeches - indicating a fundamental dishonesty and willingness to do anything to be popular.

4) He carries republican water by criticizing good democrats:

That's enough for me, though there's more that could be brought up.


EDIT: Made 1st sentence make sense...

1. Plagiarism, signed a PNAC letter.....
And is basically beholden to the predatory lending banks of his state. He would be a horrible candidate for us.

he isn't it. I held my breath as he had the chance to do something to stop the stupid war.
He actually had some influence. But he blew it.
He caved. Lost my vote. Not interested.

5. No way. No how. Not even as VP.
The same goes for Hillary Clinton. I will not support her. If there is a Green or Progressive candidate, I'll vote for them; otherwise I'll stay home.

Let's get real for a moment... None of this matters as long as votes cannot be verified and recounted again based on voter intent and prior verification. Our votes should be cast and counted equally across the country with the same scrutiny, veracity and culpability.

8. Also,
5.) He cannot ask a question during Senate Judiciary hearings without giving a long, rambling campaign speech.
