The real story of Joe Biden's sell-out on bankruptcy

2. Well, we all know what that means.....
Time to work on a primary opponent for ole Joe. We MUST get rid of these people, they are only there because we allow them to be.

10. Since Biden may run for president in 2008
we can just refuse to support him the primaries.

Has a nice ring to it, eh?

7. Nah, he just believes in fair reform, I'm certain of it
After all, it is called the Consumer Protection Act of 2005. :eyes:

11. OK, time to start working on getting this son of a bitch
out of Congress. Even if a fucking Repug takes his place, it can't be much worse.

While I don't think party orthodoxy standards need necessarily be applied to anyone but party leadership, the obviously corrupt have got to go.

13. So for a few hundred thousand dollars in campaign money
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 02:57 PM by Tactical Progressive
Biden sells out millions of Americans into billions of dollars in vicious bankruptcy proceedings.

Joe Biden always looks out for Joe Biden.

15. I repeat from yesterday - if anyone on DU starts the drumbeat for Biden
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 04:45 PM by higher class
as a Presidential candidate - I will post many booo's and nay's.

Noooooway!

I think Delaware might as well be an island in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, or South Pacific for all the conniving against this country that is allowed to emanate from that state.

Biden is despicable. He is as blatantly transparent as his right wing cabal cronies.

Every once in awhile he sends a little token vote to perpetuate the myth about his allegiance.

He is the CPN (Corporate Propaganda Networks) favorite for a word of support for the right wing. He seems to appear about twice as often as all the other Senators combined - and it's not because he lives nearby the studio.

Delaware - get him and Carper out of there.

19. They're all eventually bought and paid for.
What can one do? One meaning us.
