Joe Biden?

He is the only democrat running for the presidency that seems to be moderate, genuine, competent, and not completely consumed by the Dark Side, a.k.a. the hard left. I try to watch the demcoratic debates in their entirety, but find myself changing the channel at least a dozen times. Because their rhetoric is so phony and rehearsed. None of them offer "ideal" change for this country. Oh sure, they'll change it. They'll change it into a powerful centralized government, European modeled socialist nation. What have the republicans offered? Health Care: A much better solution to our health care crisis, like HSA's, potable insurance between states, individuals getting tax free money to go toward private insurance. Capping frivolous lawsuits that drive up the cost. More individual involvement in shopping for better prices, thus helping to create competition and lower costs. Education: Vouchers for school choice. Our schools are complete failures, especially when compared to other industrialized nations. Taxes: Simple. We don't need any new taxes. Possible flat tax or fair tax and the abolition of the IRS. Illegal Immigration: Secure the border with a wall and more border security. Fine employers hiring illegals. Allow for better detection if an illegal doesn't match up with their SS#. English as our official language. And on and on and on. I don't feel like typing all night.

1. What exactly are your Republican's offering? Edit: Because all I ever hear them debate about is war.
2. B.S.!
3. "European modeled socialist nation" You Republicans love using phrases like that , but few of you even know what the hell you are talking about. The Republicans only look after the interests of the rich, guess what ? I have not been trickled upon, and neither have over 250,000,000 other Americans, we are sick of your materialistic politics of divide and conquer. Take for example a typical US family with a medical crisis – a chronically ill child. The father may have a great healthplan as a benefit of his employment. The family has a mortgage, car loans, school loans, etc. The mother has to work. This "middle class" family is doing fine, making ends meet. The father's freedom to change jobs, move or start a business are severely curtailed for fear of losing his family's medical insurance coverage. He is trapped in the system. What is worse is that it will be almost impossible or highly unlikely that the child will grow up with any insurance company giving him medical coverage when he's an independeny adult. What form of freedom has its citizens, on a daily basis, worrying about losing their jobs, their incomes or their homes? What we look forward to in our old age is having our life's savings (if there are any) taken away by the medical establishment by the ever-increasing privatization of the nursing and medical industry. We will work till a ripe old age (if we can find jobs for old folks) and have our bodies warehoused by corporations until they or our spirits give out.
4. I am getting more into Biden.
5. As a Republican, i actually think Joe Biden is the best candidate for the democrats.
6. I agree with you! The only reason everyone is bashing your question/statement is because they're insecure in their beliefs. Dems know that they'll lose in 2008 by alienating the majority of the population. I'm to the right when it comes to politics, however, Joe Biden is the only democratic candidate that I respect and the only one that I could stomach being President.
7. Sorry to say that Joe talks out both sides of his face, practically at the same time. I don't trust him for a second.
8. Your exactly right. I also feel that the most important issue is securing our borders and doing something about the 38 million illegal aliens in this country after cutting off the handouts. Open borders are a serious national security risk As for Biden, he is just another left wing nut job.
