WARPH, what do you expect from Biden, the man barely got any votes for the Presidential primary. In fact he didn't get any  apprecable number of votes in his own state. He is a Master at being rude and a real smarta***. I think Obama picked Biden  because he is one of the few people that makes Obama look better.

What is really scary is that this man could become president!!!!!!!!!!

[jarhead]

Quit it Larry !! Just climbed out of my bunker and you sent me right back into it

[larryJ]

Considering who and/or what is running the show around this country, you are better off in your bunker.  Be sure to save room for me.  We'll need at least three years supply of necessities such as beer, chips, dips, etc. 

Larryj

[jarhead]

Damn Larry, how big a bunker you think I got ?? aint enough room for dip !!! You will just have to suffer.

[Diane Amberg]

I'll match Our Joe's foot in mouth problems against Bush's any day.   In fact I should look up some and post 'em on here. You mean people are really setting yourself up for a huge back lash when the next Rebumlican takes over.

[larryJ]

Okay, Okay, Okay--------------dang!  you would think a marine would have a big enough bunker for the dip.  So Okay, no dip.  I won't like it, but I can live with it. 

And Diane, it isn't a matter of comparison of Bush and Biden.  It's just all about Joe.  He just doesn't have it to be in the position he is in.  Bush may or may not have been any better or worse, but that is water under the bridge.  That was the past, this is looking at our future.

[Diane Amberg]

I'd rather he was still our Senator. He represented our little state well. Look more to what he does rather then how he says things.

[greatguns]

There will be room for a dip, Jarhead will be there.   Love ya cuz!
