“One can only hope the perpetual motion machine that is Biden's mouth will, like a million monkeys banging on typewriters, eventually stumble on a plausible explanation for why Obama picked Biden, of all people.”That’s an easy one, if you take “4” years and add that to 36 years, the you divide by 2 you get an average of 20 years in the senate and you’ve given BO the experience he would really need to be beyond the “On The Job Training” phase in actually is in. a bit deceptive, but that’s what his entire campaign has been based on, from the speeches to the verbiage to the poll driven positions. You can extend that to positions, BO wants to “bomb Pakistan”, Biden knows better so if we would, at least we may know when it would cause the least problems. BO wants us out of Iraq NOW, Biden wants us out when we can safely get out, as does the majority of the voters. Of course this has limited extensions, Biden is the 3rd liberal Senator in congress for a reason. But as Biden once said, “"I admire Senator McCain greatly, he's one of the people we modeled our campaign over because he is very direct, very blunt, and nobody has to guess at what he's thinking." Who knows, maybe he will vote for the president who actually has some experience?

We need a cartoon for the Most Liberal Senator Olympics. A podium with Sheldon Whitehouse on one side and Biden on the other. Chop chop, I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet.

Good LifeA pittance is off set by a gob, I didn’t take your dime as literal, unless I thought you simply another “loon beam.” The Biden statement was not made as a comment sarcastic or other wise, but as a real consideration of a potential policy and you should know that, at least that was how his staffers explained it, they could be wrong. Tahoe Editor BO would prefer himself and blabbermouth, splitting rails like the first president from Illinois, who wrote the "emancipation proclamation", lost is the fact that he was a republican.

In 1860 the Republican party was the "liberal" party.

Good LifeLiberial or not it was formed to "free the slaves", the Democrat party was for keeping them as slaves, that is not a socially conservative position.

Jack--In 1860 slavery was the conservative position.
Jack--Now that I think about minimum wage, slavery is still the conservative position.

Good Life Have you been breaking your mercury-operated bulbs in a closed room? 1.4 % of America owned slaves, that was 4.6% of the southern population, that was hardly a socially conservative position. I would call having illegals working for less than they need and unable until now to complain, as more than slavery, the 1860's mirrored much of what is here today, religious leaders were also involved in women’s suffrage and alcohol control.As I recall the present slavery, the Dem's want the illegals here, not the "racist" "conservatives" who want them sent back home.
