haha... at least someone isn't suffering from "political correctness". and a democrat no less! makes republicans look like a bunch of wimps.

He could be brain dead but he knows how to profit from the war. MBA from Harvard....duh.

Go Joe! Its nice to see a politician actually speak their mind for a change. He may have been harsh which dosen't bring about real debate but at least he was honest. Maybe I will take a second look at Joe this year.

Biden....what a character. He can definitely tell it like it is.

So a senator calls a sitting Commander in Chief during a time of war "brain dead" and you think he's "speaking his mind"? Obviously he's been a democrat insider too long and his little "mind" has been twisted. George W Bush is an excellent President following the mandate of the American voters who put him there for EIGHT YEARS. It's called "leadership", the opposite of the hat racks "leading" the houses with the party of no ideas, offering to help the enemy and gridlock our President. GWB confuses them because HE places integrity above politics and the whims of opinions modeled by the democrat media. Neither you nor the "presidential hopeful senator" can remember why we went to war in Iraq a unified nation, that Clinton wanted to go but was too cowardly, the nuclear weapons programs UN weapon's inspectors did find before they were first restricted then thrown out of Iraq (several times), that North Korea would have shared the missile and nuclear weapons technology with Saddam by now (see Iran and Syria)? These are issues biden doesn't worry about because national defense is now "someone else's problem". He doesn't have to wonder what Saddam would do when North Korea handed them a nuclear ballistic program. Interesting that when the United States military or law enforcement enjoy their well earned victories, the democrat party views them as a threat.....the cost of aligning their agenda with the enemy. ...but like edwards, biden believes the war on terror is a political gimmick on a bumper sticker even as terrorists planning to blow up fuel pipelines at Kennedy car bombs in UK are arrested. ....that's what a democrat president has to offer.....and when national defense is stripped to fund welfare programs and something does get through, go boom and arms/legs are flying around, you'll be the first ones cowering in your basements in the fetal position with 5 gallons of drinking water wondering when someone will come save you..... VOTE DEMOCRAT! ...I'll be watching and laughing the whole time.

Well done. A person in power that says things they way they see them. I also agree with the man. Bush is clearly out of touch not just with the hight of public feeling but with the false wars that he has started. How this man is still in power is amazing. If this was any other country other than America, he would be long gone by now because of public protesting. I guess American public procrastination is clearly evident again!

Joe Biden's the perfect spokesman for the Democratic Party: high visibility, great insight/verbal abilities, can speak the unvarnished truth because his candidacy is going nowhere, yet has a safe Senate seat for as long as he wants it. To connect with the American people and accentuate the fact that the Democrats really do "get it", at least one of their candidates needs to speak in the same manner that regular people are, both substantively and stylistically

Popular vote? Who cares? Both Al gore and kerry had the privilege of being crushed by George W. Bush! The Bush family is the greatest force in American politics in history! Let me educate you: Presidents are not elected by popular vote, they are elected by the electoral college (by the way, Gore did not win the popular vote in his own state in 2000!) But if he did win as you wished, he would have been the least educated president in modern history with his 4 year degree in "Government" finishing in the bottom fifth of his class. Your President won the popular election in 2004 by well over a million votes so I'm sure you were relieved! We love you George Bush! Keep on doing what we elected you to do!! USA! USA! USA!

Joe biden knows about as much about the truth as any democrat. Lucky for him, the standards were set by William Jefferson, another sitting member of the house. Try to forget that biden VOTED FOR WAR WITH IRAQ and VOTED TO CONTINUE TO FUND THE WAR. Doesn't that bother you hippies? Wow, if I was supporting someone like that, I sure would try to forget those facts. Didn't he betray you and the failed "moveon org" that helped keep President Bush in the Whitehouse for a second term? It must be tough....ouch.

I cannot beleive the hate filled comments from both sides on this discussion. No wonder politicians don't care about the voters all they have to do is push hot button issues, make some nonsense statements, and away we go. Blind support of anybody or party is just unamerican. I wish the voters of this country would learn to form there own informed opinions and not just those of pundints and whack jobs. Unfortunately most people smart enough to do this are so disgusted by the rest they just sitback and watch it happen. Grow up America!

Joe Biden tell it like it is... at last a Democrat, other than Hillary. He is correct on all counts.

What do you mean who cares about popular vote? More Americans wanted Gore than Bush. Period. Anyway, you're only one person and most Americans now believe he is the Worst President Ever, and he will go down in history as that. I'm curious, cheese, will you support any military actions by a Dem presidnet the same as you do Bush? When Clinton put troops in the Middle East, did you chant USA! USA! USA! USA! back then as well? Or do you only support America when a republican is in office?

We must give the Bush administration credit for one really important thing. Bush, Cheney, Rummy, and Rove opened up the opportunity for us sane people to find out how many nuts are actually out there that agree with the Bush administrtion. Boy, do we have our work cut out for us! There are more crazies on the outside then locked up! Anyone that thinks the Bush administrtion has done a good job in any sector has to be as goofy as Georgie is.

Two former Democrat presidents had some of the lowest numbers in the polls too:

Truman, who now is considered to be one of one of the greatest in USA history - but the 50's Democrats had no relation to the today democrats.

jimmy carter was the other one - what a Disaster!

Why are you not honest joe and give up your senatorship while you are campaining for a presidential position?
... and then, just go away!

PS (non)capitalization was intended.

Nuts we were atack on George Bush watch!!TOTALLY NUTS.....

I thought that the republican party was the one of protection of civil liberties. This administration has dismantled more of our civil liberties than any in history and still the parry apologizers are in lock step with this tyrant. Be proud republicans, you did get your man boy in for eight years but thank god this country has come to its senses (finally). I don't know if any one in the current field is the answer, but I think a sock puppet could lead this country better than Bush and his cabal of war profiteers.

Right on the mark Debi!

As I read most of these posts, I am more convinced than ever that there is no hope for our democracy. If it's not the rabid rantings of the crazy Bushies, it's the "reasoned" deliberations (or so they think) of Democrats trying to convince me which one of their plastic, self-serving candidates is the person I should support.
JWF got it right--"Grow up America! Quit acting like moronic sports fans and start acting like responsible, informed citizens who value country over party. What the hell is wrong with you people??

I hope he is as understanding if he is elected that I will speak so highly of him. This is just another reason why I would not vote for this putz, he doesn't have to respect the man, but he must as a citizen respect the office.

Biden is completely rude and provocative. Let's make him President shall we?
