Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) issued an apology for remarks demeaning one of the Party’s key constituencies.
“In an interview with the editorial board of the Washington Post I inadvertently wandered into forbidden territory,” Biden said. “While it is true that the District of Columbia schools are among the worst in the nation—inundated with the underperforming children of welfare mothers, infested with rampant drug abuse and terrorized by adolescent gang violence—my remarks implied that some of the fault might lie with the kids themselves or government programs that discourage responsible behaviors. This is not our Party’s position. It is not my position. I am deeply sorry and would like to apologize for my ill-considered statements.”
Biden said that numerous death threats left on his home answering machine helped persuade him of the seriousness of his error and he vowed to make amends by supporting legislation to increase federal benefits for unwed mothers, supply clean needles for drug addicts, and strengthen gun controls.

The truth stretched ever so slightly.
In this case, the satire is easy to spot. Biden is a functional mental midget and incapable of any statement as eloquent as that foisted in this satire.
Keeping a majority of Demokrat voters down on the plantation has done nothing to really improve their lives.
Yet we conservatives have many fraudulent RINO leaders in our own party.
Leaders that are more than willing to join together in keeping many of the Christian right on an equal footing with the poor plantation dwellers of the Demokrats.
Sometimes the truth hurts but telling it like it is and not like what some would want it to be is not racism.
We are fast losing our free speech rights to those who want to classify the truth as hate speech.
Just the lowly opinion of a Red State wannabe.
LOL. Thank you for bringing some humor to my day. Your satire is great!!
