Biden Time
Posted on August 28, 2008 at 6:20 amBiden? Home f***ing run, I think. I still wouldn’t pick him first for president, but his tenacity and spirit speak to why he really is a pretty good choice for number two. And, well, this is going to get all hokey, but you wanna know why I really feel okay about Joe Biden for veep? Jill Biden’s eyes. I saw in her eyes a pride — not a pride rooted in enjoying her rise to a superficial power, like that which I saw in Laura Bush’s eyes eight years ago — but the genuine pride one must feel when seeing a loved one succeeding at doing the good they’ve always hoped to do. I saw a woman who would not marry anyone but a good man, and must assume by extension that Joe is exactly what he seems.
We as an American people have had our noses bloodied over the last 8 years under the Bush/Cheney administration. Now it’s time to hit the streets and in November, hit the voting booth and like any good Southern Appalachian Democrat would do, bloody their noses by sending the Republicans packing.
Are you insulted yet? Biden recounted that when he was a kid Americans learned to get back up when they were knocked down. But today it is different. Today’s Americans can’t succeed unless the government “helps” them. We are all children who need the benevolent protection and guidance of the nanny state.
Kerry gave the most stirring call to arms of the convention. VP candidate Joe Biden, who just finished, was good but his speech was not nearly as impressive as Kerry’s, in my opinion.
What you’re saying is NOT change, it’s more of the same. There’s too much here to go through it all tonight. However, for one thing, when you criticize John McCain for voting against raising the minimum wage, you simply are being a demogogue.
