    Senator Joe Biden for Vice-President?

    Senator Joe Biden for Vice-President? How is it that the could be President is LESS politically qualified that his VP? Even though by most accounts, Senator Biden is no stellar Senator, he is in political experience light years ahead of Senator Obama. That does not say much for that team, and even less for the United States of America if this team takes control.

    There are some questions to be raised about Senator Biden. Two questions need to be explored. They are:

    • Senator Bidens military experience. He was of age during the draft, the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Since Dan Quayle, the question of a candidate’s military or lack of military experience is now questioned. Or is that only reserved for Republican candidates?

    • Senator Biden is on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs. Now that is bizarre to say the least since Senator Biden is a staunch gun control advocate. We are not talking “sensible” gun control; he is out to disarm law abiding citizens. Truth is the majority of gun violence in America is related to those involved with the sale and use of illegal drugs. So why does not Senator Biden understand that fact? One can only surmise that all the politicians in Washington are given jobs on committees that they have no knowledge, skill and experience in; and worse yet continue to fail to learn the truth.

    God bless and God help America if this Democrat circus act enters the Oval Office.
