(37 posts)the article speaks for itself. Biden's entire political world view is there in his own quotes and he hasn't changed one bit.

He defines politics as power. And, whether you like it or not, young lady, he says, leaning over his desk to shake a finger at me, us cruddy politicians can take away that First Amendment of yours if we want to.
Maybe this gives some a tingle. It doesn't do much for anyone fighting back against this system that destroys millions. He's right of course about power but that's not the point. There's an arrogance there that says he doesn't believe power belongs to the little people.
And this...
"Biden resents being called the bright young liberal of the New Left. I hate that picture, he says, and I dont care how that damn Americans for Democratic Action rates me. Those ADA ratings get us into so much trouble that a lot of us sit around thinking up ways to vote conservative just so we dont come out with a liberal rating. When it comes to civil rights and civil liberties, Im a liberal but thats it. Im really quite conservative on most other issues. My wife said I was the most socially conservative man she had ever known. Im a screaming liberal when it comes to senior citizens because I really think they are getting screwed. Im a liberal on health care because I believe it is a birth right of every human beingnot just some damn privilege to be meted out to a few people. But when it comes to issues like abortion, amnesty, and acid, Im about as liberal as your grandmother. I dont like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I think it went too far. I dont think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body. I support a limited amnesty, and I dont think marijuana should be legalized. Now, if you still think Im a liberal, let me tell you that I support the draft. Im scared to death of a professional army. I vote my own way and it is not always with the Democrats."
That sits well with you ancianita then more power to you. It doesn't with anyone who actually identifies with the left.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
