In reply to the discussion: If Hillary doesn't run, is Biden the default? (I hope so) [View all]nationalize the fed
(2,169 posts)9. Actually,
It''s Mr. New World Order/MBNA/BofA/Bomb Assad Biden.
(I know, it's not polite to bring up the New World Order, because only "Conspiracy Theorists" use that phrase. Except when Very Powerful People like Joe Biden also use that phrase. They are NOT "Conspiracy Theorists", because, well, they're the opposite. Or something.)
Oh yeah, there's Mr. Creator of the Drug Czar too. A man of many talents.
Joe Biden's Awful Record on Drug Policy
...from a policy perspective, its a disaster. Biden has sponsored more damaging drug war legislation than any Democrat in Congress. Hate the way federal prosecutors use RICO laws to take aim at drug offenders? Thank Biden. How about the abomination that is federal asset forfeiture laws? Thank Biden. Think federal prosecutors have too much power in drug cases? Thank Biden. Think the title of a Drug Czar is sanctimonious and silly? Thank Biden, who helped create the position (and still considers it an accomplishment worth boasting about).
Tired of the ridiculous steroids hearings in Congress? thank Biden, who led the effort to make steroids a Schedule 3 drug, and has been among the blowhardiest of the blowhards when it comes to sports and performance enhancing drugs. Biden voted in favor of using international development aid for drug control (think plan Columbia, plan Afghanistan, and other meddling anti-drug efforts that have only fostered loathing of America, backlash, and unintended consequences). Oh, and he was also the chief sponsor of 2004s horrendous RAVE Act...

His kid, after getting thrown out of the Navy for drugs, is sitting on the Board of Directors for Ukraine's largest fracking company. I'll bet Joey is proud of that!
Swell guy, no?
