I am incredibly disappointed that Barack Obama would choose Biden for VP, an old party hack who has spent the last 35 years with his nose solidly up DuPont's arse. Talk about "change." This narcissistic, teeth-capped, hair-implanted apparatchik is the emissary of the DLC who wanted to make sure the Democrat power structure got its due.
The weaselly Biden has been angling for the presidency for years; apparently he deems being a senator insufficient for a man of his stellar talents. But, in fact, Biden's most notable accomplishment as senator was in his personal crusade to shut down raves. He sponsored the so-called RAVE Act, which was passed without a single hearing. Biden had snuck it into the popular Amber Alert bill, having earlier been rejected on its own merits. Biden has been one of the most aggressive supporters of the war on drugs, which has brought endless misery to America and propelled it to become the world's No. 1 incarcerator. So what does Biden bring to the Obama campaign? How many voters will he bring in? Counting myself, he has brought in one fewer.
