| A few interesting linky's that are related to Biden:
First one from a lefty: Pacific Free Press - Hard Truths for Hard Times Quote: |
I assumed that Obama was just using Biden to build up some foreign policy cred with the media-thing tank crowd -- the only people stupid enough to believe that Joe Bigen is some kind of foreign policy expert.
| Quote: |
Biden poured the filth on them (common people), he joined his campaign paymasters -- the hoggish credit-card conglomerates -- and his ideological soul-mates on the Republican side to drop this bomb (the Bankruptcy Bill) on the hard-pressed working folk he was now claiming to roll up his shirt sleeves and go to work for.
| Quote: |
And now it turns out that Biden's son was on the payroll of credit-card behemoth MBNA... for years, as an employee, then as a "consultant," until the bill oozed its way onto Bush's desk to be singed into law. (MBNA is not only one of Biden's biggest campaign supporters; it was also the largest single corporate giver to George W. Bush back in 2000....
| Quote: |
Joe Biden voted to give George W. Bush a blank check to wage a war of aggression against Iraq...
| Quote: |
Joe Biden eagerly voted for the liberty-stripping Patriot Act; indeed, he claims to be its guiding inspiration.
| Quote: |
No one forcede Obama to choose such a running mate. No one forced Obama to make the statement of his own values that such a choice proclaims. It is glaringly, painfully apparent that he has no genuine values, beyond a keen ambition for power. Last week he was denouncing the Bankruptcy Bill. This week he's defending Biden's role in putting together a satisfactory "compromise" on the atrocity, while excusing the flagrant conflict-of-interest in the employment of Biden's son at MBNA.
| Quote: |
Whatever happens, whoever wins, there will be more war, more needless death, more mass murder in the name of America. Whoever wins, there will be more state-assisted assaults on working people and the poor. There will be more coddling of the rich, more servicing of the powerful, more injustice, more inequality.
| Quote: |
And the choice of Joe Biden as a running mate only confirms this grim fate, which, it is now clear, we must bear out even to the edge of doom -- it not beyond.
