"My favorite description of Biden: "a man with doll hair" LOL"
LOL!
Looks like Plugs was speaking to a HUGH crowd of 100! He wants the Dims to let the people know that they can be great on security and to respect everyone's relgion (does the ACLU know he said that?? They may pull some of their funds from him). He said in speaking w the nation's wealthy, they'd be willing to forego their 'Bush tax cuts' for more money for Homeland Security. NO ONE is telling them they have to keep the extra money for the tax cuts - - if they want the government to have more, then why don't they just give more to the Gov? They could refuse their IRS tax refund if they get one or add more 00s to the check if they have to pay - - simple solution. There would also be more $$s for Homeland Security (if we in fact need it) if Biden and his buddies would quit spending money on pet pork projects. Oh, BTW, he also told them he was going to run for President (chuckle, chuckle). Maybe he and sKerry will team up in the next election - - though that's a lot of ego for one team!
Biden: 'Security and faith' keys to win presidency

DOVER, N.H. --Calling the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks a greater shock to the American psyche than Pearl Harbor, U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden said Saturday that Democrats must demonstrate they can provide for national security to win back the presidency.
The Delaware Democrat spoke to just over 100 people gathered at an event organized by Strafford County Democrats.
"I'm running for president -- flat out," he said, adding his party should learn to be more blunt.
"The next Democrat, whether it's me or Sen. Clinton or John Kerry, whomever -- the Democratic nominee -- they'd better be able to ante up right in front of the American people two things: security and faith," he said.
President Bush beat Kerry in 2004 because people wanted to believe he would keep them safe, Biden said. The mothers who voted for him still want one thing primarily: "Security for their families, physical security," he said.
Biden also criticized Democrats for their sometimes patronizing approach to religion, saying believers of different faiths don't expect everyone to join them.
"They just want to know we respect them," he said. "If we can't negotiate the faith issue, forget it, we won't win."
Biden argued in favor of more money for homeland security, saying in his conversations with the nation's wealthy, he found them willing to forgo their Bush tax cuts for the cause.

I see Biden really is as stupid as he sounds.
Since when was faith negotiable? Sorry Joe, you lose! If you are willing to negotiate your faith, you are a two bit pol unworthy of any American's vote. Like Gore, one day he was Christian and the next day Buddhist, just to raise money?
You are unfit for command Joe, because you as president will need every scrap of faith you can muster, faith in your God, yourself and faith in the American people.
Get outa here Joe!
