Obama Selects Senator Joe Biden as Running Mate

I've heard that Obama actually had chosen Kathleen Sebelius but then abandoned the idea.

As for my comment on Republicans, I stand by it. I'm sorry but the Republican as I see it is guns, gays, greed and god. That is to say, I whole heartedly believe it to be complete trash. A used tampon is less odious.

we'll at least you're honest about being close minded, ignorant, and extremely biased.

we really shouldn't treat politics like religion or be so emotionally attached to parties that it becomes good vs evil no matter who's standing on either side....

I agree. That depth of feeling should be reserved for The Redskins.

For the Democratic caucus and the state of Delaware he's a powerhouse senator. A 30 Year senator who voted against the war is irreplaceable. You can toss in Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd in that category too. These are folks that don't have to cover their own asses like most senators for political gains (i.e. Hillary).

Edit: I stand corrected, Biden voted for the war.

Robert Byrd really is irreplaceable. Where are you going to find an ex-klansman to run for The Senate these days?

Totally agree.

The dispassionate mind is pretty rare. Your party affiliation should not be some badge of honor that you wear on your shirt sleeve to defend with all of your passion.

People get sucked in because they're too lazy to educate themselves... so they in turn look up to their political leaders to make their minds up for them.

I mean it makes sense the most basic level. A "Follow the leader" mindset makes sense to a voter that has to lead his or her own life, but doesn't have the time or the interest to invest in the affairs of our government. We're all guilty to some extent... just some (and I'm not pointing anyone out) are more obvious than others.

Plus... from a politicians standpoint... that's exactly what they want you to do. They want to activate the emotional circuits of your brain that inspire you to go out and vote. They want to give you an emotional attachment that drives you to the polls, which isn't necessarily a bad thing all the time.

If we lived in a world that was fully rational, we would be completely passive and inactive. No-one would react to any kind of crisis or alarm. It would just be a totally non-responsive or inclusive. It's a citizens duty to involve emotion into politics... but it's equally his or her duty to not get carried away with all the rhetorical bullshit that's out there.

we'll at least you're honest about being close minded [anti-gay], ignorant [intelligent design], and extremely biased [anti-immigration].

Are you referring to me or the Republican party? Don't serve me sugar coated shit and tell me it's caviar bro.

We do agree on one thing, good and evil are a prospective.

thanks for proving my point. apparently every single republican (and nto a single democrat) hate gays, believe in intelligent design, are xenophobic, like in caves, smash rocks, beat children, rape goats, and love racism...

get real and put down the crack pipe. i mean, trying to prove you're non-ignorance with a post like that is actually pretty cool... i needed a laugh.

I call it like I see it, Republican platform stinks and the party's base leaves much to be desired. If you disagree, that's your prerogative but don't go and call me ignorant because I find your party to be repulsive. That's my prerogative.

Ok, please explain what the party platform is.
