Biden Says He Will Seek Democratic Presidential Nomination in '08

[Chauga]

Delaware Senator Joe Biden has his eye on the white house again. He told CBS' Face the Nation he will seek the democratic presidential nomination in three years.

It wasn't a formal announcement, but Biden made it pretty clear.

"My intention now is to seek the nomination."

The outspoken ranking democrat on the foreign relations committee says you can expect to see him on the road, putting his ideas out there and testing the water.

1. Dream on, Joe.

The people in Hell want ice water, too.

[Mr.Green93]

27. He won't have to hire speech writers

He copies his own....

[VegasWolf]

38. Hillary will eat Bidden alive. I've lost a ton of respect for this guy. n

[dissent1977]

87. Please not Hillary either

I want to see Biden lose, and lose bad, but Hillary would not make a good President. We need someone who opposes the war in Iraq. Of the possible candidates I have heard so far the only ones I could consider are Feingold, Kucinich, Conyers, or Boxer.

[Eloriel]

154. Amen, Amen, AMEN

He has SO blown any chance he ever had that it isn't even funny.

Edited: Actually, AFAIC, the Bankruptcy vote ALONE takes him right outta contention, but he's such a pathetic excuse for a Senator that that's just ONE of many.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. Won't happen

Biden's about as attractive and exciting as a box of Meuselix

[Imagevision]

101. Really! - Dream on Joey baby you self serving %$@##+$!....

[saigon68]

125. Joey baby = A turd floats to the top of the Bowl.

A nasty Turd at that!!!

[merh]

3. He won't get it, not if I can help it.

He is so friggin weak and has been kissing the collective asses of the BFEE for so long now, I forget he is a member of the democratic party.

He won't get the nomination, he would be wise to spend his energies and efforts in other ways. :argh:

[geek tragedy]

4. Can he carry his home state of MBNA? n/t

[catzies]

41. LOL! I can't wait to use that.

:thumbsup:

[PA Democrat]

110. I guess his vote on the bankruptcy bill was the 1st down payment

for MBNA's $$$$$$.

[Cha]

5. You're deluded, joe biden..we don't

want ya, again.

[FlemingsGhost]

6. Haaaaaawwww- hawwwww ....

Good one, Joe.

[natrat]

7. fuick you joe swine

[LeftCoast]

8. He's got Joementum and he's just started!

Lol

[Montauk6]

66. Joemental, more like

And will Jesse Jackson run again as well? How about Mike Dukakis for a REAL nostalgia tour; Mike and Joey B can even re-enact the plagiarism flap to bring down the house.

(sorry, I'm still traumatized by a show my wife and I stumbled upon while flipping channels, where Vanilla Ice won some American Idol-style competition featuring has-been pop acts)

[Johnny Noshoes]

104. Oh wow

Mike Dukakis Mr Excitement himself. Why not "Tanner" too :).

[Placebo]

88. One of my favourite words ever.

:rofl:

[not systems]

97. Joementum in 2008, it is never to late!

:rofl:

[oldtime dfl_er]

9. I saw that too

and he hedged as usual. He's such a schmoozing politician and that's exactly what we DON'T need this time around. Doesn't he have some "baggage" in his history, too?

http://www.cafepress.com/scarebaby/665903

[BayouBengal07]

10. Why all the hate?

From most of what I've seen from Biden, he's a fighter. Anyone remember when he chewed Wofowitz out for not abiding by the Geneva Conventions? He said we need to so that people like his son (he's the only congressman with a kid in the military), if captured, will be given the same respect America does.

[still_one]

16. yeah, and I remember when he chewed rice out to

and then voted for her

screw biden

just because he makes one or two good speeches does NOT mean he is a good candidate

One of the biggest gripes is the bribe, er, contributions he gets from MBNA, the largest repuke contributer, to vote for the bankrupcy legislation

no more excuse that they all do it. We had better stand for something more or we don't deserve to win

[CarbonDate]

35. Fighter? No.

He's all bark and no bite. Well, some bark. Mostly he barks at other Democrats.

And it was Ashcroft he berated, not Wolfowitz.

Biden on Alberto Gonzales: "I think he's a pretty solid guy." To Biden's credit, he did eventually vote against Gonzales in the full senate, but this was after he was called on the carpet for showboating in Rice's confirmation hearing even as he acknowledged that he was going to vote to confirm her.

I could think of numerous examples of this type of behavior, but I'll leave that to others.

[Walt Starr]

59. "I like you, you're the REAL DEAL"

Joe Biden to Alberto (torture 'em all let the electroshock sort 'em out) Gonzales.

[xxqqqzme]

63. sorry - I lost it 4

biden when he grilled Anita Hill during uncle clarence's hearings. He treated her w/ so much animosity and came damn close to calling her a liar. I started disliking him immediately.

[kath]

98. Yep, I will NEVER forgive him for giving us Clarence Thomas, and the

despicable way he treated Anita Hill.
What a jerk.

[DURHAM D]

114. I have hated him since those hearings - a first class self-serving

jerk.

[kurtyboy]

121. I remember the last time he sucked as a presidential candidate

Not ready for the rerun just yet.....

[Nightwing]

128. Biden is a * Appologist

Always has been and always will be. No way will I support a Dem that goes out of his way to kiss *'s ass at every opportunity. Biden isnt living in reality if he thinks he has even a remote chance at gaining the Dem nomination.

[GOPBasher]

129. I agree, I like him, but I'd really rather have a different candidate.

I just think we have much better potential candidates, that's all. I do like Biden, though.

[cyberpj]

130. Joe's son is an atty in Natl Guard - wkend warrior w/political ambitions

We Delawareans believe Joe may imply his son is in danger of Iraq but it's all a set-up for Beau's political future here. Seems the Biden's want to create their own little Delaware political father/son act.

I did find one online site stating Beau was in Iraq but that's incorrect. Here are some details:
=============================================
Upcoming 2006 Elections:

Feb. 09, 2005
Wilmington lawyer Joseph R. "Beau" Biden 3d said his father wasn't any different at home.

"I've grown up with it," the younger Biden said. "At the dinner table. Playing football with my friends. On C-Span. That's the way he is."

IT'S FATHER-AND-SON POLITICS FOR THE BIDENS
By Celia Cohen
Grapevine Political Writer

U.S. Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. is out there making the political headlines he always does in an election season, but this time his son Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III is turning up increasingly in the fine print.

Joe and Beau. Joe Biden is two years into his sixth term, a state record, and so much a part of the national Democratic constellation that he keeps getting mentioned for secretary of state if John F. Kerry can pull this election out. Beau Biden is a Wilmington lawyer, a former federal prosecutor almost universally regarded as being on the threshold of his own political career.

(snip)
Almost standard these days, Joe Biden invoked Beau Biden's name as a means of personalizing why foreign policy is so critical in the presidential election. Beau Biden is a lieutenant in the Delaware Army National Guard, and Joe Biden said the decisions the country makes will determine whether his son goes to Iraq and gets the support he needs if he does.

http://www.delawaregrapevine.com/10-04joe&beau.asp

? Early 2005 ?
Also, regardless of what you think of Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE), it's undeniable that he helped to pin the bars on his son, Beau Biden, who is a member of the Delaware Army National Guard (there's a picture of him being sworn in here). Although Beau isn't in the line of fire (he is currently practicing as a judge advocate), he is a military serviceman nonetheless.

? Late 2004 ?
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden's son Beau is on active duty; although Beau Biden has no control over he is deployed, he has not been sent to Iraq...

http://www.bowlingfortruth.com/fahrenheit911/warsignup.htm

[gort]

131. "I like you! you're the real deal"

That's what Joe said to the Torture Tsar during confirmation hearings. Some fighter.

Please Go, Joe.

[still_one]

11. he will never get my vote if the dems nominate him

he is one of the reasons we are in the situation we are in today

[saracat]

12. Whatever makes him think he is viable? Didn't he do any research?

Or can the banks really elect him?

[Robeson]

14. "Whatever makes him think he is viable? Didn't he do any research?"...

...Those were my thoughts, exactly. Why would he think he could win it? Unless, of course, he is delusional...

[Jackpine Radical]

24. Why should he do research...

when he could just plagiarize it?

[Robeson]

46. And then sign his name to it....

...yep, that works pretty easy.

[graywarrior]

13. Hey Joe!

:rofl:

:thumbsdown:

:boring:

and finally

:hurts:

[lovuian]

15. The problem with Joe is going to be his voting record!!!

its got a lot of ugliness in there and he's just like John Kerry

same style and same kind attitude!!!

if the Democrats pick him

We are going to need a third party!!!Desperately!!!

[still_one]

17. and I will be there

[knoxvilleboy]

67. I also n/t

[Placebo]

90. What's the matter with John Kerry?

:shrug:

[AlGore-08.com]

147. F.Y.I. he said the same thing in 2004 cycle

And he chickened out then.

I'm just sayin'....

[karynnj]

118. If he were like Kerry, I'd like him better

Kerry is far more of a statesman and has more integrity. Also, he voted against the bankrupcy bill

[MarkTwain]

18. Coincidence that he and Lieberman and both named Joe?

... I think not.

Both of them can either go to hell or register Republican. Little difference between the two states of being.

[stepnw1f]

19. No Vote Here!

go pander corporate interests elsewhere.

[ryanmuegge]

20. Neo-Cons will win either way if Biden gets the nomination

This fucking thug seems to support the Bushie/Neo-con world view, in terms of foreign policy. The exact content escapes me at the moment, but I recall him making some rather hawkish remarks a couple months back that had this whole board angry.

Besides, this guy voted for the bankruptcy bill. No true Democrat (supposedly an opposition party that stands up for the working class) would have voted for that shit.

[lakeguy]

21. no vote for joe here, either one of them! nt

[Zomby Woof]

22. Plagiarist appeaser

No more Joe's should run for the Dem ticket - he or Lieberman.

[depakid]

119. LOL- those were my exact thoughts

My question is- just how does this fool think he's going to escape his past or energize a base for the primaries?

[Robeson]

23. No more Joementums, please.

[AlCzervik]

25. Bidens voting record here

http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=S0150103

he was one of the dems that voted yes on backruptcy reform, that i have a big issue with.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

26. As a Democrat?

Seriously. He's going to run as a Democrat?

[sleipnir]

28. I can't wait for more JOEMENTUM!

He'll do about as good as the last Joe who ran.

Fuck you Biden, you're more than happy to sell your country and your soul to the highest bidder.

[AlCzervik]

[AlCzervik]

65. ding ding ding!!!!

Delaware and South Dakaota had no usery laws and thats why so many CC cos. have their hq's there.

[Yavin4]

124. A Lousy $147,0000?!?! That's ALL?!?!?!

Joe, not only are you a whore, but you're a cheap whore. Damn. MBNA spends more on their corporate Christmas party than they gave you. For $147K, they're going to get back billions.

[Emillereid]

30. I'l go Green before I work for Biden -- he's a right wing collaborator!

[quiet.american]

32. Fuhgeddaboutit! n/t

[killbotfactory]

[AlCzervik]

50. i got that from Janene Garafolo, i thought it was hilarious.

[AngryAmish]

96. I've got a Joener!

[Moochy]

42. Not sure about flying on MBNA's aircraft right now

a Jet Or was it a chopper?

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-06-17-copter-nyc_x.htm



Aren't mobsters always threatening people in the movies with ending up in the East River?

[jean]

37. pfffffffff - the man is a legend in his own mind. what a waste of time

effort and money.

[havocmom]

39. Memo to Joe

PFLLLTTTTTTTTTTT!

[zara]

40. yawn....

[kodi]

43. well, that certainly gives me motivation to vote Green Party in 2008

biden is an "inside the beltway" democrat. one who has absolutely no idea of what life iis like n the rest of the country.

it had better be Gore, or Clark (and I'll hold my nose if its Clinton), or this fella' is returning to the wilderness of 20 plus years in third party politics from whence i came back in 2000 to vote for Gore and in 2004 for kerry.

I am beginning to hate democratic leaders almost as much as the GOP.

these god-damned fat cat democrats, wearing $500 shoes, $3,000 suits and living in $million homes are the antithesis of what I believe the democratic party stands for.

[Robeson]

45. I think it would motivate a lot of voters to go Green....

And I'm with you on Gore.

[Journeyman]

44. Say it ain't so, Joe! . . .

Let's work on the problems of today, show you've got the gumption to actually lead rather than just campaign. . . We'll be happy to support any candidate who's earned our trust and respect, but so far, Joe, all you've done is diddle for the other side. Give leadership a shot, Joe. . . then we'll see. . .

[UpInArms]

47. his "I love you man" vote for Alberto Gonzalez

made me :puke:

Biden the Dem nominee for Prez?

:rofl:

[hyperium]

51. I think

he has a better chance of winning the repub nomination.

[UpInArms]

70. Welcome to DU hyperium!

:hi:

[MurrayDelph]

49. I've always thought of Biden as the JarJar Binks of the Democratic party

"Meesa wantsa be president."

"Meesa likes you, Missa Gonzalez; yousa real deal."

So, I think JoeJoe is a no-go.

[The Witch]

74. MWAHAHAHAH

thanks for the giggle!

[Renew Deal]

52. Joe Biden '08= Joe Lieberman '04

They will finish in exactly the same position. Bookmark this thread. Biden is DOA.

[Warren Stupidity]

93. Dreamteam: Joe + Joe!

Oops: that's a nightmare.

[Warren Stupidity]

94. Joe Biden: PNAC mouthpiece Corporate Whore. EOM.

[Teaser]

53. Teaser says

run all you want joe. We'll make sure you lose.

[manly]

54. biden

He doen't have a chance, nor does he deserve one. He's two-faced. Put on a big show interrogating Condoleeza, ripped her, and then voted for her. He's slimy.

[Robert Oak]

55. No More Corporate Party!

And that means Hillary too!

He's completely MBNA, corporate party agenda and Hillary helped
TATA, an outsourcing firm from India get established to suck
off high paying jobs out of the country. NY has lost hundreds of
thousands of high tech jobs. Hillary is chair of the India caucus...
you know the caucus that represents foreign interests in our lawmaking branch of our country?

The only problem we have is somehow counteracting the American people
buying into whatever big money propaganda campaign either of these
two launch.

That is the thing to tackle...how the American people will so easily
buy a lie as long as it's packaged up hollywood style and blasted
across their TV screens.

[Pastiche423]

56. Joe "PNAC" Biden?

http://www.newamericancentury.org/russia-20040928.htm

[whalerider55]

57. Well....

I wondered why Biden was dumping on Dean on the Imus morning squawk-a-thon the other day.

I admire the fact that his son, alone among what must hundreds of congressional sons and daughters, is serving in Iraq. BTW, did daddy vote for the war, and didn't I see him at the Conyers hearing rapping with the press about how he feels duped because the admin lied about the justification for the war and how silly he feels because the rest of the nation realized they were lying but he didn't figure it out until his son was over there, and how he's sponsoring legislation to end the war now and....

sorry. wrong Joe. Biden was busy lubing the collective consumer rectum for another pronging by corporate america.

pimp.

i might re-register as a dem just to vote against him in the primary.

whalerider

[Walt Starr]

58. Joe in '08 is no different from Joe in '04 in my mind

Unacceptable. HE can seek the nomination and the Democrats can gie him the nomination.

Ther are no conditions under which I would vote for Joe Biden, regardless of whom the Republicans nominate.

[TankLV]

61. Shut the fuck up and sit down, you vichy dem!

Or better yet, join the repukes whom you constantly give aid and comfort to, as opposed to other dems!

You had your 16 minutes of fame - 16 minutes too long.

[kath]

99. "Vichy Dem" - we need to use that term more often.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

62. No thanks. We've already had enough of the NeoCons.

[Atman]

64. If Biden wins the nomination, it will be PROOF to me that repubs fixed it

Some way, some how.

Just look at the responses on this thread, for starters. I don't know any democrat who likes this sell-out republican-lite. None. If he somehow wins the nomination, it will be an obvious "thank-you for your support" payback from the BFEE.

[Robeson]

72. It will be proof to me that Repubs and Dems fix it together and are in...

..cahoots with each other, and that our "two" party system is nothing but a chirade.

[kath]

100. At this point,I think that there's a pretty good chance it's all a charade

[GetTheRightVote]

68. He must think he is a Democrat, at least we can say that about Kerry

He is obviously a Democrat.

:kick:

[mzmolly]

69. ICK.

No !@$&* THANKS!

[Disturbed]

71. A waste of Tax Payer Money...

because he has about .01 % chance of gaining the nomination.

[cascadiance]

73. I guess he's got to start early...

Without help much help from Dean or the DNC. I guess he'll totally go to private corporate donors for his campaign!

[leftchick]

75. I hope he loses the comb-over....

blech...

[DURHAM D]

115. Remember what he looked like before the hair plugs?

Do you have a pic of that ?

[leftchick]

132. he is looking pretty thin here....

[BenDavid]

76. Yep! This is all the Dems need is

another pink tutu wearing kiss ass.

[bunny planet]

77. Nice Bankruptcy bill vote Joe.

Forget about it.

[cascadiance]

117. He's probably testing MBNA now for contributions...

for payback on that vote, since he knows that Dean probably won't help him out at all on this one. Joe, you're going to learn the hard way that the Dems don't want sellouts any more!

[digno dave]

78. Damn, ole Joe gets no love on this site

I afraid you guys still don't understand what kind of democrat it will take to get elected in these days and times. Anything else is fool's gold.

[meganmonkey]

80. What kind of democrat would it have to be?

The kind that acts like a republican? Then what's the point?

I seldom voted Democrat until last year. I have no problem going back to my old ways if someone like Biden were to get the nomination. Fortunately, watching the Dems in action lately makes me think that there is no way Biden would get through primaries.

[Horse with no Name]

81. Joe isn't what this party needs

He would serve his interests best if he crossed the aisle.
He is more appealling to them.
"No MOJOE"

[digno dave]

111. We need Joe in our party just like we need the Deans of the world

in our party. We wouldn't want to be monolithic, now, would we?

[Horse with no Name]

79. yech now I need a shower

Sorry Joe..I think I will "Just say NO".
:)

[Piperay]

82. Gee could that be the reason he

has been so down on Dean, who would've thought. :sarcasm:

[Solly Mack]

83. has someone been filling your head with ideas again, Joe?

[ooglymoogly]

84. fat fkn chance dino joe

i can see the ticket now...biden lieberman hahahahah

[Placebo]

85. How unusual is it for someone to declare this early?

Wouldn't the usual thing to do, would be to wait until around...oh...2006 or 2007?

oh and by the way,

:patriot: Hillary '08 :patriot:

[stevedeshazer]

86. Biden is the only Democrat with an inflated ego as big as that of *Bush

I'll support the Greens if he is the nominee.

I heard him declare his intention on Face The Nation while driving in my car, and I almost drove off the road laughing when he said would see if he could raise the money to run.

As if he couldn't.

Come on, Joe.

No one outside the Bush administration is more out of touch with the real world than Joe Biden.

I swear I will *permanently* leave the Democratic Party if he's the nominee in 2008.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

89. it is my intention to tell everyone you are NOT our man!

[Placebo]

91. He sure has a spiffy website.

http://biden.senate.gov

[stevedeshazer]

92. Good news for Greens. n/t

[salin]

95. 20 years ago, I briefly supported you

even looked the other way at the initial plagerism items. Then Bork happened (and you were good) - and then due to the backlash - you eased up during Thomas... and turned into someone who sometimes gives really tough rhetoric - but in the end plays the political safe calculus - at times at the expense of both the party, and of the American public. Sorry Joe - you had your time in the sun, your opportunity - and even then your judgement was... oh come on - taking the words of a not so strong labor leader - not King, not Kennedy, not someone who stirred great movements... should have known then... geez the guy doesn't even reach high on whose words to copy and use as one's own.

All this aside, if it were between Biden and Bayh, as one of Bayh's constituents - I would chose Biden, in a minute. Biden is better, wiser, even if he isn't too good at the real politik thing.

[kath]

103. Thanks for confirming this on Bayh - I haven't thought much of him either.

[DURHAM D]

116. He eased up on Clarence Thomas for sure and treated Anita

Hill like a villian. I have despised him since those hearings - hearings he ran. What a first class pc. of work.

[G_j]

137. wasn't very courageous at the Iran/Contra hearings

throwing soft balls and all..

Many think that if Iran/Contra had not been whitewashed, the BFEE wouldn't be where it is today.

[salin]

153. if nothing else... some of the personalities

wouldn't have returned to government (still in prison, and all of that).

[Imagevision]

102. Joe, stay in Delaware and count your blessings!!

[LynneSin]

105. Joe, I'll be happy to vote for you for senator but....

....don't even go down that path.

Hey, we're Delaware and let's face it - Delaware IS the credit card industry (hell, at least we're not Chemopetrochemical state of New Jersey - :eyes: ).

I'll vote for Joe for senator any day of the week because he's a decent guy, he's pro-choice, most of the time he doesn't thoroughly piss me off (stressiing 'most of the time') and finally because in the state of Delaware he'll pretty much have that seat until he retires and his son Beau takes over. To be honest, the democratic party is pretty lame in Delaware which is why I end up campaigning in neighboring states.

Anyhow, let's imagine I'm NOT from Delaware AND that Joe Biden hasn't pissed off 99% of DUers. I still wouldn't vote for the guy for president because like Gore and Kerry before him - he's a stiffass boring drone. He'll whiz you with all the technical jargons and statistics - but he'll bore the hell out of the rest of the country that just wants to drive their kids to soccer practice and watch NASCAR racing.

So Joe, good luck with your bid for re-election in 2008 for SENATOR, but seriously - please give it up. I have limits to how much I will support you!

[progressivebydesign]

106. Thank you Joe. You just proved my point of last week..

.. when you were spouting off some horrid GOP line. I mentioned that YOU and Edwards were both doing it because you wanted to be president. Didn't take you long? Did it. Sheesh.

[Patty Diana]

107. He voted for the grand inquisitor Gonzales, and he condemned Dean

this guys just a repuke in a donkey costume

[BooScout]

108. When hell freezes over...

...is when Biden will get my vote.

Someone send him a link to this thread so he will understand how seriously stupid he is. :eyes:

[mountainvue]

109. No thank you. n/t

[MadisonProgressive]

112. Candy-assed, pretty-boy, delusional corporate whore!

Time for another round of botox and hair plugs!

[wisteria]

113. I'm not happy about this since I would like Kerry to run again,

however, if it came down to Biden or Hillary, I would take Biden over her. I just hope it doesn't come down to this.

[Endangered Specie]

120. The 2008 DU Primary wars... COMMENCE!

[ngGale]

122. In his dreams, Biden is as disconnected...

with his party as the Repubs are with theirs. :nopity:

[Algomas]

123. I hope the voters fillibuster his ass!

[pokercat999]

126. Wrong party. repug lites should line up on the RIGHT side of

the room please. That's correct Joe, right over there next to Ms Clinton.

[llmart]

127. You won't be getting my vote, Biden.......

you're a corporate whore and a Dem-lite. I want someone with backbone not a sell-out.

Go away.

[confludemocrat]

133. Testing the waters? Hope you choke on them, Joe. n/t

[LibDemAlways]

134. I think anyone thinking of testing the

Dem Presidential campaign waters ought to let his/her intentions be known in a DU post first and take a good, hard look at the responses before going to the time and trouble of making public declarations. I'm serious about this. I think DUers can sort the wheat from the chaff better than any party "insider."

I hope someone sends this thread to Biden so he'll quit wasting his time and making a fool of himself.

[UT troll]

135. Condemned Dean? He's got MY vote!

Someone who can actually win an election.

[Chico Man]

149. He is a sell out

Controlled by the corporations. Look at his funding. Good luck!

[cthrumatrix]

150. MBNA Joe..... that's his slogan....wanting to bankrupt America

[Lost4words]

152. Yea right, put on those rosy glasses, no MBNA whore gets my vote

[ecoalex]

136. Go Home DLC Boy

[DemBeans]

138. Not a chance

This guy is a bought-and-paid-for whore of special interest money, and a Bush shill to boot. I'd walk over ground glass before he'd get my vote.

[Dr Fate]

139. I hope moderates & swing-voters make hard campaign workers.

Good luck, Joe.

140. Biden wants to seek Democratic nomination for president

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/06/20/biden.2008.ap/">http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/06/20/biden.2008.ap/

"Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, said Sunday he intends to run for president in 2008.

But Biden, who also sought the nomination in 1988, said he would give himself until the end of this year to determine if he really can raise enough money and attract enough support.

Going after the nomination "is a real possibility," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"My intention, as I sit here now, is, as I've proceeded since last November as if I were going to run. I'm quite frankly going out, seeing whether I can gather the kind of support," Biden said..."

[Larkspur]

141. Biden will provide us some laughes. He'll be Joemomentum 2008

Maybe he is behind the credit card info thefts. This way he can charge his campaign bills to these stolent credit cards. First a plagerizer, not an identity thief/Prez candidate. Who'd a thought.

[whalerider55]

142. Biden also added...

"I believe in the tooth fairy. I believe my nose is a weapon of mass destruction. I believe that you spell G-d 'MBNA'. I believe that after having a president with no original ideas for eight years, this country is finally ready for a president who can recognize a good idea and steal it."

Reporters, so taken aback by Biden's apparent honesty, left the room shaking their heads.

dream on little dreamer, dream on.

whalerider
liking the Gneral a lil more every day.

[Benhurst]

143. ...

:rofl:

Last time he "borrowed" another man's speech. Maybe this time around he can "borrow" another senator's voting record.

[UCLA Dem]

144. nah...as much as I like him...we need a southerner...sorry joe.

[Benhurst]

145. We won in 2000 and 2004 without the South. Maybe honest

electons are what we really need.

[ticapnews]

146. In a related story, Hell froze over today...

They installed a condom dispenser at the Vatican
Yasser Arafat said he'd never wear that hat again
The Germans gave every holocaust survivor a Mercedes-Benz
And the Tutsis and the Hutus made amends

Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They discovered Jimmy Hoffa in a houseboat on Lake Erie
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong

Woody Allen walked hand in hand with Louis Farrakhan
"Face The Nation" had Cindy Crawford and Bo Derek on
The earth fell out of its orbit and careened into the sun
And Bob Dole ran for President and won

Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor to Timothy Leary
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong

Uncle Sam made reparations for repressions great and small
By creating a society with liberty and dignity and equal opportunity and justice for all

Well, that "Earth Goddess" program on Channel 3 went national 2
Iran and Iraq became one country called Irrational
Every commuter in greater Los Angeles learned how to ride the bus
And the rich folks said, "Please tax the shit out of us."

Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
They served something tasty and nutritious in a high school cafeteria
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory
Yeah, someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory... was wrong.

They are really Republicans in disguise.

Biden? hohoho!

Hillary? bye, bye!

[stickdog]

157. They are setting Biden up to be 2008's Lieberman.

Lieberman was supposed to scare us into Kerry's arms.

Biden is supposed to scare us into Hillary's.
