“Biden cannot actually mean what he says — because the implications of his statement contradicts his (and Barack Obama’s) asserted position opposing marriage for same-sex couples.”
Of course he means what he says. Since when have Obama/Biden honored their prior commitments?
We have TWO “professors” on the Democrat ticket this year.
For obscure reasons, these professorial types tend to think they have enough expertise in the nuances of government, that they should be beyond any question of their authority.
The attitude was demonstrated most amply in the first “modern” Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson. He was an autocratic despot, insisting on imposing his will on the majority, badgering the country into a war which he had declared the United States would never be involved in, then the principles of popular elections of Senators (rather than the previous Constitutional method of being selected by the state legislatures), the Federal income tax, and finally the worst experiment of all, Prohibition.
Now THERE was a man that brought “change” to America. Compare that with FDR (whose popularity was as much for bringing beer back to the public, as it was for all the other “reforms” put together), the Kennedy-Johnson years, the Carter years, and the regime of the “Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001”, who NEVER fulfilled the duties of the Presidential office. Not once. Most of them could not make a rational decision on the economy if they had to, unless there was overwhelming demand from the legislative branch and from the people for that change.
One exception, perhaps, was Harry S Truman, who was much more at the mercy of circumstances, and responded to them in a somewhat common sense manner, than most of his Democrat predecessors or successors. And he did it with the simple statement, “The buck stops here.”
The rest of them were past masters at prevarication, fabrication, deceit, and “misstatements”.
Expect a reprise of all the worst of the past hundred years if Obama-Biden DO become President and Vice President.
Count on it, John McCain is deliberately pulling his punches and NOT campaigning to be President of the United States.
America is SO screwed.
