He said "erstwhile" which means that Mexico used to be a democracy but no longer is.

Is he saying that Mexico was more of a democracy when it was dominated by one party, the PRI?

More likely, Biden meant to say "ersatz", meaning a phony democracy.

The guy is a mental midget who believes himself a sage.

If only Nixon could go to China, perhaps only a liberal Dem will be able to pull off a tough new immigration policy.

"The clip begins right after he left the rostrum and waded into the crowd to answer a one-word question: "Immigration?" Note the passion, the waving arms, the populist posturing, the peripatetic delivery. Joe Biden has always loved to talk, but this Elmer Gantryesque performance went far beyond his routine style."

I welcome Biden's remarks. It can't do the enforcement-firsters any harm--and may do consdierable good. If it gives Biden momentum, that's great. Compared with Hillary, Hairplugs doesn't look too bad. Is Biden worse than mcCain, or better?

Joe Biden is saying what the GOP should've said all along (besides Tom Tancredo). Where's Bush on this issue?

On the loosing side, that is why we lost both houses, and probably will lose the Whitehouse in 08, unless the country club republicans can be pushed aside by Joe six pack.

I can't stand the sight of any of those,Mamzelle. I would be miserable and depressed for the next two years, if I believed our only choice had to be one of that group.

It may come down to that, but in the meantime I am praying that God will send us a Moses, to lead us out of this wilderness.

Biden, who favors tightening the U.S.-Mexico border with fences, said immigration is driven by money in low-wage Mexico.

Here's your next president...
