Too many persons base their choice on gender or race.
Dr M.L.King said it best "When people are judged by Content of Character, Not the color of their skin"

Biden could be Green and he would be the best choice for America.
Watch these then sign the petition to bring a political solution to Iraq.

Joe Biden is simply the most Intelligent, bold, forthright, most experienced, thoughtful, decisive and honest. Simply the best Candidate for the job of president. he has real solutions and he isn't bought.

1. I don't like Biden, but I agree that people should be judged on the content of their characters.

3. I Think That's A Non Sequitur
Hoe do you make the logical leap that decisions should solely be made on merit to the argument that Joe Biden is the best equipped person to be president.

4. Nope...after what I discovered last night
I'd vote for my dog before I'd vote for Biden.

The Rave bill was a piece of legislative shit and it was HIS baby.

7. The rave bill places the responsibility for ANY drug use
at an event (like a concert) on the head of the promoter... It made it so such a person could be criminally prosecuted for it.

I loathe drug warriors as a general rule--one of the reasons I've never jumped on the "we love Spectre" crap that pops up from time to time here--and the fact that he sponsored this bill, which does NOTHING to address the real problem of drug abuse in this country (a medical problem rather than a legal one) and, instead, can be used to target people for things totally out of their control, does not sit well with me.

10. I Would Need To See The Facts
As long as drugs are illegal (which I don't think should be) thr proprietor of a business is responsible if he knowingly allows drug use on his premises and I have no doubt if somebody gets hurt on his premises because of his negligence he's liable...

6. He's against Raves
I have never been to a Rave but isn't that a party where you take X and get thrown into mosh pits... I am not a big fan ox X... I read it messes with your spinal fluid...Don't know much about that fluid but it seems important...

8. It had nothing to do with raves, as such...
It's about holding a promoter criminally liable for drug use at ANY event, including a concert. It was pure drug-warrior strong-arm tactics taken too far.

9. seems like a trade off
I know Biden is for medicinal marijuana. Wouldn't you agree mythsaje, that X or coke is far worse than the occasional joint?

11. I've judged Joe Biden on his merit and found him wanting
I won't vote for him in the primary. I'll vote for him in the general, if he should be on the ticket, but I think that's a long shot.

I don't agree with the implication that other candidates support comes down to their gender or race ... sorry, but being a white male isn't holding Biden back.
