...and more about what Biden actually does. What sort of "moral backbone" is it that prevents him from voting to cap credit card rates at 30 percent interest because 30 percent is too low? (Too low?!) What sort of moral backbone is it that leads Biden to lead the charge (again and again and again) to push through an odious bankruptcy bill that reads more like a credit card company welfare act? What is it about Joe Biden's moral backbone that leads him to be among the leading advocates of DRM (so called digital rights management which is really digital restriction management) that so effectively kills the very idea of "fair use" under our system of copyright?
I am sure that Joe Biden is a wonderful family man. I am sure that his personal moral backbone is strong. It's his public moral backbone, the one that would be needed to actually stick up for the public, that I am worried about.
Biden's attempts to run for president were derailed swiftly in 1988 and 2008. Perhaps his utter lack of support was for good reason.
