Biden

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Biden’s speech last night was not perfect - it was however, moving, honest, heartfelt and hit all the right notes. His son’s introduction brought tears to a lot of eyes, including Michelle Obama’s.
Then Biden arrived, did the thank yous, launched the attacks and laid out the economic argument.

Joe Biden Will Bring Change to Status Quo Politics

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I’ve been watching Joe Biden work and speak for many years. C-Span is on 24/7 in my world.
More important than the promise he will crush his republican counter-part in debates, Obama and Biden will govern really well.

‘Democrats have a history of just giving in’

Friday, June 20th, 2008

This morning, 105 Democrats voted for the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, including our own Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT) (R-UT).

There are many opinions, but one suggestion by one reader of my earlier post said, I assume humorously, [...]

Senator Joe Biden and Governor Richardson…It’s About Time…..

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

The United States of America has not selected or elected a senator to be president, in three decades. Now is the time. With the advent of Pakistan, a REAL threat: with hundreds of nuclear weapons and no real democratic tradition or, for that matter, democratic government, however onion-skin the garments of government, into [...]

Why Democrats Are in Power

Real Courage - Straight Talk
“Mr. President, you have not only put us in harms way, you have harmed us.”
The president is leading us off a cliff. Everyone knows it.
Republicans, but for a few “real men”, are running for cover.
Biden demonstrates why Democrats should be in power and will remain in [...]
