Is Joe Biden a Fool?

[roberthall10]

He says Bush's deceit does not change his views on the worthiness of the Iraq war.

But we now know that the whole rationale for the war was a lie, that Iraq in fact posed no threat to us. We have half our combat force tied down pacifying (at great expense) a nation that was no threat and does not want us.

In Joe Biden's eyes, the maneuvering of the nation into war based on misleading the American people is no problem. No wonder we Democrats are in such a perilous state, with leaders like Biden.

[jos]

1. Yes!

:dunce:

[IndianaGreen]

35. Ditto here!

and he is also a plagiarizer!

[onecitizen]

2. Is Joe Biden a fool?

I think so. He's also arrogant. And clueless. I think he really thinks that the job (as President) is his if he wants it. Poor, sad man.

[OneBlueSky]

3. it's the hair plugs . . .

they're too tight and constricting his brain . . .

[smiths_fan_21384]

4. An emphatic yes.

He should just go ahead and change the D to an R.

[ibegurpard]

5. He is if he thinks he has anything to offer to the current field

of Democratic presidential candidates.

[Cocoa]

6. no, just a hawk

I don't see it as a conflict for him to say this.

Whatever deceptions Bush used to sell the war doesn't necessarily say anything about the justification for the war.

Just like I think it's valid for pro-war dems, if they choose, to criticize other issues surrounding the war, such as the failed diplomacy and the poor planning, while still maintaining their basic support for the cause.

I would disagree with them, but I don't think it's a contradiction for them to say this.

7. If he hadn't thrown soft balls

during the Iran-Contra hearings, we might not be in the mess we are in today!

I for one haven't forgotten.

[tnlefty]

26. nor have I

And he really helped Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings.

[Allah Akbar]

29. AMEN and hallelujah!

We wouldn't even be talking aobut Smirk today if the democrats had done their job in the 1980's, when I'd like to point out, they controlled BOTH houses of Congress.

Now, some lame ass will come along and make some whiny claim that "the Dems didn't have the numbers or support to...." . Funny, the Repukes sure managed to impeach Clinton over NOTHING with even less.

The Democratic party has been repukes enablers for far too long now.

[Pepperbelly]

8. Bidin has pissed me off with great regularity since the mid-80s ...

and now, he has only my contempt, disdain, and derision rather than the nascent respect I once held for him.

[charlie]

11. Great smile, though

And he's generous enough to stop everything and let us enjoy it every few seconds.

[baffie]

31. LOL! You've exposed my secret shame

I know you're probably being facetious, but ... I hate that I can't like him because I actually think he's kind of attractive. And conversely, I'm embarrassed to think he's attractive when I know he's such a ... whatever.

[lumpy]

9. Resounding YES

That was easy !

[DemLikr]

10. I think he's been in D.C. too long, and he has lost his soul

or sold it, rather, to the status quo, in whatever form it currently presents itself.

[FightinNewDem]

34. "in DC too long"???

FYI, Biden has never owned a home or rented an apartment in Washington, DC. He has commuted between DC and Wilmington via Amtrak for the last 30 years, so he is far less "Washingtonized" than most members of Congress. When Senate duties kept him in DC, he would stay with one of his brothers who lives in the DC area, or with one of his Senate friends, probably someone like Bill Bradley or Dan Inouye.

One of the big inside-the-beltway raps against Biden was his failure to play the DC game for all these years.

[Davis_X_Machina]

12. Biden's whole strategy....

...is to follow the same steps that once brought Senator Henry 'Scoop' Jackson (D-WA) to the White House.

Oops. He didn't even get the nomination....

Should we tell Joe?

Nah.

[DUreader]

13. Backdoor-Rave-act, Plagiarist Joe? Who lets him get away with shit?

If he's a fool what about all those he has fooled?

[Sophree]

16. Thank you for mentioning the RAVE Act

No AMERICAN, much less TRUE Democratic Senator would put forth such legislation.

Biden is NOT on our side and, IMO, is a TRAITOR to the Constitution.

[GreenArrow]

20. NWO

Biden's the kind of guy that gives credence to theories about the "New World Order". He isn't on our side.

[Sophree]

32. I think so, too

That he's NWO.

:tinfoilhat:

[GreenArrow]

14. not a fool, but...

"McMurphy: Well, that f--kin' Nurse, man...She, uh, she ain't honest.
Dr. Spivey: Aw now, look. Miss Ratched's one of the finest nurses we've got in this institution.
McMurphy: Ha! Well I don't wanna break up the meeting or nothin', but she's somethin' of a c--t, ain't she, Doc?
Dr. Spivey: How do you mean that?
McMurphy: She likes a rigged game, you know what I mean?"

[Kahuna]

15. What's worse than a fool? Whatever it is...

that's what biden is. He's even more clueless than Lieberman. And that's saying a lot.

[Sophree]

17. I don't buy that he's clueless

Sorry. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. He wants our civil liberties curtailed and dissent eliminated.

[Kahuna]

19. I mean't clueless about his potential to be

broadly accepted by the voting public. I don't know how you misread me. :eyes:

[Sophree]

33. Gotcha

Sorry, it's just that even hearing/reading the name Biden makes my blood boil.

My apologies.

[Oracle]

18. Biden's up for re-election...Give him a break...

One can forgive his (let's be polite here) spineless republican ass kissing.) Biden, as all democrats know...the republicans have at their disposal, huge amount of corporte money, corporate media and incredible power of lies, distortion and advance smear tactics, so don't fuck with them.

If Biden doesn't play ball with the Bush team, how's he goona pay his mortgage and bills, how's he going to live without the prestige on not being a Senator?

Think about it from Biden’s point of view…if he just plays ball a little longer he can have a lifetime job in the Senate. And what Bush is doing, is really not all that bad…it’ll pass in a few years and we’ll forget all about it.

[jos]

27. He was just re-elected

Last year.

[meg]

21. Yes, Biden is a fool

Anyone who saw the Judiciary hearing with Anita Hill could tell you that!

[baffie]

25. That's EXACTLY when I became a Biden nonfan

Pretending to talk tough even as he was letting Specter and Hatch walk all over him - and Anita Hill. It was very unpleasant to watch.

[thermodynamic]

22. No, but he's a bidet

Bidet, er Biden, is such a puke in Dem clothing, it's beyond belief that he hasn't "pulled a Coleman" yet.

He's disgusting and is a waste of resources. Much like a bidet is. :evilgrin:

What is a bidet?

Biden is up there with that Berman critter and that Miller creature...

[JustJoe]

23. just a self-deluded bloviator n/t

.

[aquaman]

24. Never have liked him or

trusted him. Yes he is foolish.

[Uzybone]

28. Yes he is....a big one at that

the Joe Biden incident that sticks out in my memory was when he was asked by Tim Russert about the Department of Wiretaps and Muslim Activities (Tom Ridges dept) being used to purse those Texas Dems. This was at least a week after the story broke, he said he knew nothing about it and couldnt comment on what he didnt know and the topic turned into a joke. I couldnt believe my ears.

[anamandujano]

30. another good case for term limits

I loathe the guy.
