Joe Biden won last night's Democratic Debate
What?

He wasn't there?

He dropped-out?

Really?

Good riddance.

1. If he'd been there he probably would have won it.

6. Hey as a debater Joe holds his own and he knows his shit
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 09:58 AM by shadowknows69
I think he would have made a fine President. I've thought so in his past runs. Too bad the game is skewed past any point of good men like Joe Biden or Chris Dodd or Dennis Kucinich ever getting there. This country might not be in the shithole of a situation we're in if that wasn't the case.

4. Why do people do this?
What's the point in running down fellow Democrats? Biden wasn't my guy, but I respect him. He's not the progressive candidate I was looking for, but he is a good Democrat with a solid history of leadership.

I'd have voted for Biden before Hillary or Obama. He's no more progressive than they are, but he's more honest and experienced.

5. Biden dropping out of the race was a great loss to all of us.
He was one of if not the best qualified of the candidates. His qualificatons far exceed those of the current top three. We are none the better off for him being out of the race, far from it.

7. Aren't you just so utterly clever?
My question is as valid as yours is and I'll happily answer my own question.

No, you aren't.

10. I think he meant it sounded like your post was continuing a different
conversation.

15. I did, it seemed a little out of context.
I see it now though. Never Mind. Just making sure you weren't lost. :hi:

11. Biden is a good democrat. He wasn't my first choice, but applauding his
dropping out is very poor form.

For example, I don't like Clinton as a candidate, but I think she should stay in the race. Maybe not everyone in the party feels the same way. I also think Kucinich should be treated fairly.

12. You seriously must be bored
After watching last night's debate, all you can bother posting is something to piss off Biden supporters? He's out of it. It's old news, you got the three candidates you deserve. Move on to something else. Go kick your dog or something.

13. I didn't have internet access for a week.
This was my first chance to rub salt in the Bidenoids' wounds.

16. Oh well, we're tough
we can handle it. At least now we can sit back and watch the fireworks between the big three's supporters. Think I'll grab a beer and some munchies, could be a good show.

17. Well, you've done it
Happy now?

Reminds me of a bully stomping on a youngster's favorite toy, just for pure meanness.

18. I'm a Kucinich supporter. I'll get my turn to be stomped soon enough.
But I won't whine and cry about it like the grumpy ol' Bidenoids do.
