Would you take a serious look at Joe Biden as a presidential candidate if his senate committee began hearings

Question

on Bush, Cheney and company and their illegal war activities.
I know I would seriously consider him an American hero if he would take action.

Joseph M- I agree with you, I'm just saying would this HELP him more for people who don't really know what a great man he is?

Lettie D-
That's exactly what I think too.

Answer 1

I have taken a serious look at Joe Biden and find that he is a good man who has served his country well. I like all his stands on most of the issues. He just never seems to break out of the pack and I think it is backing and financial issues. But he has been a wonderful Senator. But, Jackie, if his Senate committee would begin hearings on Bush, Cheney and Halliburton and get Bush impeached, I wouldn't be able to get to the polls fast enough to vote for him.

Answer 2

He is definately running he has stated that more than once and is already taking doantions to his campaign. Do I think he is a good candidate? NO!!!!!!! Will he win the democratic nomination? Only if he kills half his opponents and Iwould not put that past him. If he somehow wins the nomination will he win the general election? Hello President McCain or President Rice, or President Republican somebody. If the Democrats want to stand a chance Senators Biden, Clinton, and Kerry need to forget about running. Otherwise say to another 4 and possibly 8 years of Republicans in the white house. Those of you that want to vote according to what he says on television talk shows or radio talk shows for that matter are what is wrong with this country sit down and do your homework find out who he is as with almost every politician tose interviews are filled with lies. These people will say anything to get into office and then when they get in it will be business as usual. Why do you think John Kerry lost. He said what he thought people wanted to hear and that changed from day to day and all of his two faced lies were exposed as well as a lot of people did there homework and found out who he really is.

Answer 3

Joe Biden would be the best pick from the democrats for me. I'm not sure how much of a chance he has though. If I remember right, Kerry came from way behind to win the nomination so maybe after the dust settles, he'll come out ahead. He works well with both parties and has a lot of experience in government. I hope CSPAN shows reruns of these hearings on the weekend. Hearings are boring but very informative.

Answer 4

Joe Biden has been in politics for a long time. Senate committee hearings on Bush, Cheney and "company" at this stage is irrelevant. He may be saying this things now that he is running for president, because he definitely was not saying this one year ago.

I like Biden but honestly not as president. Maybe a presidential cabinet position, say Secretary of State would better suit his talents. He has been involved in politics for a long time, which is a turn off for me. You can't make effective change in Washington if you have been apart of it for the last 30+ years.

Answer 5

Without question, Biden is the best informed candidate. Except for the unrealistic idea that Iraq can be split into three distinct nation-states, he has been spot-on about the lunacy and disaster of Bush’s Iraq invasion and War on Terror.

The thing blocking his path (and this is not his first Presidential chase) is his inexplicable (for someone usually very articulate) foot-in-mouth disease that inevitably causes him to say something so pathetically stupid that it chases away everyone not informed enough to see the whole picture (e.g., his observation on the “cleanliness” of Barack Obama).

Answer 6

I really like Biden. Don't know why he isn't doing better in the polls. He is presidential and he speaks well on the issues. I would vote for him if I thought he had a chance.

Answer 7

No. I would be LESS likely to vote for him.

Out of the few Democrats I would be willing to vote for, he actually is one of them. And I am a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. Like, was a Republican before I even knew what one was Republican. Not one of these "Neo-Cons" as I have ALWAYS been a classic conservative, and so by definition, there is nothing Neo about me.

Actually, most thinking Republicans do have a few Democrats that we would vote for. I don't know many moderate to liberal Republicans who wouldn't vote for Leiberman, for example, and many conservatives would vote for him, too. Most of us think it was too bad the Democrats kicked him out of the party.

Unfortunately, I don't think Sen. Biden will be on the ticket in the fall of 2008. Then again, neither will the candidate I am going to caucus for in less than a month here in Iowa, Duncan Hunter.

I gained a lot of respect for Sen. Biden when he held Senate hearings on NCAA Division I football. I know, you are saying, "What? You respect him for something as trivial as THAT?!?!?!" Well, I would like to remind you of one small fact.
There are more nations who are members of FIFA than there are members of the UN. You tell me what's more important.

Answer 8

How could you not already take Joe Biden seriously?

-He is the person who got mine resistant vehicles out to our troops to help save lives
-He said that if Bush decides to invade Iran, it is enough to get Bush impeached.
-He passed the Violence against Women Act
-He has the Biden-Gelb Plan to get us out of Iraq.


He is an American hero already, but if he got Bush, Cheney and Haliburton under review, he would be even more of one.

Answer 9

Not for president, but maybe for a presidential cabinet position. Honestly I am skeptical of any person in office that is a member of the Council On Foreign Relations.

Answer 10

He is terrific and would make a great Pres. Unfortunately, he's from a small state and is too intellectual for many people who can't understand the issues.
