He's definitely been around a long time. And he has his good moments, like at the Bolton hearing.

But, man, when he bagged on Dean, I don't think he understood what he was doing. Things have been evolving in our party very quickly over the past couple of years, and it doesn't seem like he's kept up. Democrats want principled leadership and opposition to the Republicans. He's getting outdated.

Yeah, I think he's just too old. Maybe he should think about retiring.

1. Same could be said about Feingold too....

edit: he 'bagged' on Dean as well.

Frankly, I'm more disgusted with DU'ers perpetuating the non-story of Senatorial Democrats not being thrilled with Dean's comments.

2. Well, you'd think he'd know.
But apparently he doesn't.

3. His credit card/bankruptcy bill vote did it for me
Great moments but not what I would call a progressive.

7. Uh, you're never too old to have common sense.
Age has nothing to do with ignorance.

Biden has been around a long time and he's always been an asshole. I remember the Clarence Thomas hearings and how he helped beat up Anita Hill and voted to confirm Thomas.

I have a long memory and age has nothing to do with that either.

8. Yeah..."Old" like "Old Fox/SlyFox" and his two sons have political
ambitions...Beau Biden (what a name) and the other son...

If you Google "Joe Biden's Sons" you will understand he sees himself as the new Democratic Legacy competing with the Bushes and Kennedy's.

I have to respect him wanting to "pave the way" for his kids..but OMG at WHAT PRICE to the loss of our Constitution. Maybe he thinks his kids will do what he couldn't ...but how do we know they won't end up beholden to the K-Streeters like Biden did ...selling his soul to the Devil? :shrug:
