SlowJoe is actually raising money to run in 2016. I figure he’ll last to the Iowa caucus, LOL.

I understand that Biden is dumb enough to think he might win the nomination and the general election.

But are there really people dumb enough to contribute money in support of that benighted mission?

He is just running to make cash. And keep the campaign donations after he is out of office.

Really they should pass a law that the money goes to the General Fund and not be allowed to keep it.

I’d donate to a Biteme run just for the sheer entertainment value.

Gates said that Biden was a person of integrity - but was wrong on every single issue.

Gates was sort of right. By integrity, he meant that Biden actually had positions and stuck to them, not necessarily because he felt that it was to his benefit (unlike Obama, whose positions changed with every poll). Of course, Biden was among the most left-leaning members and was picked basically because the Dems wanted an older white guy who was solid in his left-wing political positions, already elected to office and serving with no major mishaps, and could cover for the lunatic they were presenting as their candidate. So Biden may have had some integrity, but as Gates said, he was completely wrong on every issue.

But like it or not, this was a brilliant political play, and Biden was one of the things that got Obama elected. The older white male voter felt that there would be somebody to bail him out if Obama turned out to be as crazy as he looked. The problem with this dream is that Biden was very leftwing and pretty useless to begin with, and now he’s practically invisible because Obama obviously felt that Biden was either causing him problems or distracting too much from His Holiness Obama.

It is often said that anything is possible but I believe one thing may actually be IMpossible and that would be to UNDERestimate the intelligence of the dumbest twenty percent of Americans and it has almost nothing to do with IQ.
