1. Something is making Americans dumb and cowardly.

I don't know what it is.

3. How about if we save ourselves?

We can start by refusing to place a political party in the role of "savior." We can, instead, be accountable for our votes. For voting for candidates who will actually do what we want them to do: represent us and our best interests in Congress. Not patronize us, telling us that they know better than we do what's best for us. Not cave on the issues we elect them to work on. Represent us. Not the corporate sponsors.

How about if we quit voting for the status quo, the "mainstream," the "top tier" people who are screwing us, and replace them with people who will actually do what we want them to?

4. Check out Biden

Why not check out Joe Biden for President.com.

He has a great website full of information about his positions and videos of his campaign speeches.
He has a feature called "Head to Head" featuring videos of his positions as well as the other candidates side by side for comparison.

He is the most experienced candidate in foreign affairs,serving as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has a plan for getting us out of Iraq responsibly and addressing the problem -- What next, after we leave.

Check him out,What have you got to loose.

5. welcome to DU, murbley40. I like Biden and would gladly vote for him... but...

...I just have to say this is the first post I have ever seen that really looks like an ad for a candidate.

6. BIDEN 08

Is that bad? Glad to hear that you like Biden.

7. Having our board used..

so blantently by a campaign is kind of gross. If you wanna push Biden, pay for a banner ad, not for free by posing as a regular poster. It's tacky.

11. Yeah! I'm shocked that anyone would openly advocate for a candidate

At least without slandering at least one other candidate!
:nuke:

12. "Tacky"and "Gross"

First of all,I am sorry that I offended all of you, and secondly, I did not and am not posing as anything. I am also not officially with the Biden campaign. I am just like the rest of you except I support Biden. I am a member,a new one but a member just the same,although I have forgotten why I joined. If I did something "TACKY" you might have told me in a less vicious way.I just want you to know that if you are representative of most on this board, I"m not sure I want to be a member.
