Let's Discuss Joe Biden

[Stevendsmith]

I saw this comment on Daily Kos yesterday, and it very nicely summed up my thoughts on Biden:

"Joe Biden's best service to the Democratic Party's base would be to sit down and shut up.

This guy Biden is another poster child for why we Democrats are now in permanent minority status. He's a useless corporate-military proponent, whose presence on these shows results in the dangerous illusion of "presenting both sides."

Hey, Joe Biden: you're a corporate lackey, and an Iraq War enabler. Take a long hike, before someone gets the very bad idea of you as a presidential candidate."

1. Couldn't agree more...

An almost total waste of air....

[KnowerOfLogic]

2. Correct. He's so smarmy, and he's on all the Sunday shows.

If he's think about running for president, he can forget about my vote.

3. also remember the RAVE Act...

:puke:

4. Heard him this morning...

... on NPR, dissing a Harvard economist who was testifying against the bankruptcy bill while it was in committee, definitely shilling for the credit card companies (many of whom are headquartered in Delaware).

I'm beginning to think that if the Rapture actually does occur, the only people left on earth will be politicians....

20. His words on the bankruptcy laws were unbelievable

I couldn't figure out if they were dictated by Master card or Visa! Someone wrote an article about a year ago describing Delaware as being nothing more than a corrupt address of convenience for robber baron corporations. After hearing Biden, I'd have to agree.

5. "Joe Biden's best service to the Democratic Party's base would be to ...."

A-f*cking-MEN!

:thumbsup:

6. Biden has that fake smile

he has a switch to turn it on & off,he probably does that fake laugh trick too.We learned about his crap during the Clarence Thomas hearings.
I agree,take a hike Joe and bring some of your buddys with you.

7. Two Joe's

Joe Lieberman and Joe Biden, birds of a feather. Wish they would
fly away.

18. The two biggest pussys in the party n/t

[Divernan]

8. His comments on Sen. Clinton designed to scare up donations to him!

His recent comments that Sen. Clinton presently would win the Dem primary for 2008 presidential election were self-serving. He's shouting 'Booga-booga" to all those who would oppose her, implying better give money to Biden if they want to stop her.
And the way it works in politics is that the big money lobbyists always cover all the bases, donation -wise. At this stage of the game, when no one knows who the Dem or the GOP candidate will be, the military-industrial interests, for example, will donate to all acceptable (to them)candidates - it's like ante-ing up in a poker hand. You've got to keep throwing chips in the pot if you want to be there when the final bets are made.

9. -my first impression of him was formed years ago and hasn't changed

He just doesn't know when to shut up

He's got diarrhia of the mouth; if one sentence could get his point across he'll give you ten

Evervy time I watch him I'm thinking end the sentence NOW, Joe

10. Anyone hear Biden on Morning Edition (NPR) this AM?

Check out Joe here, defending his big donors: credit card companies.

audio clip, Joe starts shooting off his big mouth at about 3:40
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4515876

They want to force consumers to carry credit card debt FOREVER, even if you go bankrupt. Listen here: Joe is totally on board with the bankers.

[Logansquare]

17. That was infuriating! He was so contemptuous to the woman

who pointed out the usurous interest levels being imposed by credit card companies.

[Pithy Cherub]

11. Please put some superglue on that chair!

And now the duct tape also has a purpose for Biden!

[Stevendsmith]

12. Let's not forget his words to Abu Gonzales

“I like you. I like you. You are real -- you're the real deal.”

That's when my distaste for Biden turned into open contempt.

[stevedeshazer]

15. Indeed

My contempt for Biden goes back to the Clarence Thomas hearings.

He was the Senate Judiciary chairman then, in 1991.

The Dems ran the Senate. He completely caved to the Republicans on the committee, smiling and grandstanding before the cameras all the while.

I think Joe Biden is a total scumbag.

[mwb970]

13. He seems smart, and I want to like him...

But he keeps voting the wrong way on things!

[Paul Dlugokencky]

14. Amen

Amen to all the above. Joe Biden is a polished politician who knows who pays his way.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Biden is a lizard... anybody got a photo?

:evilgrin:

[devilgrrl]

19. Joe "hairplugs" Biden is a GOP enabler...

how's that contempt of congress case against Ashcroft going Joe? Oh, you haven't gotten around to yet I see, no surprises here.
