I have no real interest in South Carolina, but if Biden and Dodd are for it, I'm against it.

Sen. Joseph Biden, a Democratic presidential hopeful joining fellow Sen. Christopher Dodd at Martin Luther King Jr. holiday events, said Monday he thinks the Confederate flag should be kept off South Carolina's Statehouse grounds.

Biden plagiarizing again!

Dim-witted feckless imbeciles - a good description of the Senate in general.

The Founders knew the danger of unrestrained "true" democracy, but I think they lacked foresight in awarding piddly staes like RE, DE and CT equal status in the senate. We are today saddled with the liberal idiots the voters in these states keep sending to Washington.

True, I curse the New Jersey Compromise that gave us a bicameral legislature every time idiots like Biden and Dodd and Chafee and such hit for a lot more than their electoral weight. But at least until the 1920s senators were elected by the respective state legislatures, not popular votes within their states.

When did it become Biden's business what SC does with its flags?

When he decided to run for president.

If memory serves, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union. I have sincere doubts they'll react more positively to outside interference now.

But hopefully they'll remember what happened when they did.

Hope Joe and Chris weren't counting on winning any Southern electoral votes.

Dodd, Biden, both can kiss my boots, and leave the south alone..I suspect others have stronger feelings than I
(and as I remember wasnt Biden the one whom recently claimed that Delaware was one of the northern 'slave' states he was trying to infer that he sympathises with the south??)?..Wot a Moron..!

When he decided to run for president.

So it's up to the President to lobby for design and placement of state flags?

And I would like it if Biden moved to some other country. We sure do not need him here. I can think of many places where he could go, and the sooner the better.

When he's busy pandering for votes, yes. All the while hoping that those he's pandering too don't realize that he has not authority over the design and placement of any flags in South Carolina.

To state the obvious, Biden or Dodd either one could not care less about the Confederate flag, just potential Black votes. Maybe Obama ought to go the other, and say that he supports the flag because he doesn't want to offend southern voters.
