Biden would be a HORRIBLE choice

[YEM]

The GOP has a stack of dumb quotes Biden has made over the years. He's way too much of an arrogant hot head. We will surely lose if he is the choice. What are people thinking??

[babylonsister]

1. Yawn. nt

[YEM]

6. Yawn all you want. Biden has made way too many dumb comments

[Debi]

2. That you are wrong...n/t

[democrat2thecore]

3. Everything he's ever said has been vetted - nothing that can't be overcome. GREAT choice! -nt

[LVjinx]

12. "Obama's pretty clean and articulate, for a black person."

Ok, he didn't say it exactly like that. But I've gotten used to the fake "let's make them sound racist" quotes throughout this election cycle and felt like playing.

[ingac70]

20. You are right, he didn't say it like that...

and it was filthy racists trying to make it sound worse than it was. People who utilize the "Southern strategy". If the "black guy" picks him as the running mate, he can't be all that bad.

[democrat2thecore]

25. You should edit your quote - that's NOT what Biden said

I know you pulled back in your message, but the subject line should be edited. Obama never was offended. Biden doesn't have a racist bone in his body. If he wants him as VEEP - doesn't THAT say enough right there?

[napi21]

4. You have a right to your opinion, as do I. I happen to thin you're NUTS! n/t

[anonymous171]

5. Not as bad as Bayh. Hillary is better than Bayh.

[DJ13]

7. But I bet you think Clinton would be?

[YEM]

9. His 20 year old plagerism charge won't help either

[Debi]

14. C'mon..you can do better than that

:rofl:

[Qutzupalotl]

19. Debunked smears won't help either.

[Doremus]

8. Not. nt

[ingac70]

10. I love Joe Biden....

"A noun, a verb, and 9-11".. lol.

That said I hope Obama does NOT pick a Senator 'cause we need every one we got!

[opihimoimoi]

11. Everyone has stacks of crap on everyone else....If its Biden, we will win.

If its Hillary, Clark, Webb, Dodd, etc...we will win....

[babylonsister]

16. Yep Regardless of who Obama chooses, the GOP will try to rip them

a new one. Biden can stand up for himself, and if we're going to talk about ancient history, we could start with the Keating 5.

[opihimoimoi]

33. Exactly....All are good to go....all are better than Pubs...who have been complicent to the ongoing

mess in our society....

The Pubs had their turn and Blew it...they just don't wanna give it up....like a losing coach refusing to leave..making excuses and blaming others...

McLoser will continue to lose what Bush has already lost and MORE...Can we take the Risk??? I think Not

Obama has better odds to fix this thing...not ole John

[Franks Wild Years]

13. "My McFriends..."

"I call on you all to denounce and castigate Obama for choosing a 'hot-head' as his running mate. We all know that you can't apply for the top job if you have a hot temper"

[Life Long Dem]

15. Yeah like this comment he made last November?

"Biden's warning to Bush: Bomb Iran and face impeachment".

[gateley]

17. Quick! Better let Obama know!

:eyes:

[bidenista]

18. bull

Biden will tear the RW sleazeartists' guts out and force them to eat them. He's the man.

[MattNC]

21. I agree

If I'm the RNC I run the debate clip of Biden questioning Obama's readiness to be president every day from now til Election Day.

[zulchzulu]

22. RIchardson is my first choice, but Biden certainly is better than Kaine or Bayh

There are no other serious choices... maybe Sebelius... um.... nah....

[kingpin8399]

23. yup, youre exactly right

obama shouldnt base his vp choice on who would be the best vp, but who has the least quotes available for the GOP to turn into commercials.....

[MattNC]

27. it's a legitimate concern n/t

[Orangepeel]

24. get used to it.

He can't have made as many dumb quotes as Mr. Seven Houses.

[YEM]

28. No way it's Biden

[Orangepeel]

32. If you're sure, why are you worried about it?

[JerseygirlCT]

26. Because he's incredibly smart, because that smart mouth

is loved by the media (think constant sound bites attacking McCain - most of them really, really funny), because almost no one has the depth of his experience in foreign policy.

Dumb quotes? If that's what it took to knock someone out of contention, we wouldn't be eagerly awaiting the end of the Bush regime. In fact, we wouldn't have had the 1st Bush regime. (And do you even want to talk about Quayle?)

[Fleshdancer]

29. but doesn't that open McCain up to the same type of treatment?

McCain has his fair share of gaffes too and he's not running for the VP position. :shrug:

[Davis_X_Machina]

30. It doesn't matter...

...nor has it mattered since 1960.

Not even the disaster over Eagleton in '72 made a difference. McGovern wasn't winning that one with the Holy Ghost to balance the ticket. Quayle didn't sink Bush père.

It's first and foremost insurance against a catastrophe. Biden's a long-service senator, and would do fine. Apart from that, it's a matter of a few news cycles worth of coverage.

[depakid]

31. You can throw the change matra right out the window it its Biden

No thinking person would EVER associate Biden with change in Washington. And it would be an outright lie to even say so, considering the long history of statements on the Sunday "news" shows and the voting record.

If its Biden, better find another theme.
