You can't honestly think that. What is the point of coming on here and lying? You look like a sheep and virtually everyone realizes you are full of BS whether or not they will admit it.

Look at the date of the Biden video.

Political season? -- The primaries have started.


Be an adult with a brain and admit the obvious: Obama, Biden, McConnell and most of Washington DC are hypocrites on this issue.

You can admit that they are all hypocrites and still argue for an Obama appointment.

Default "get a shotgun and fire it into the air"

The last bit of advice Biden gave would have you charged with aggravated assault and a felony in some states.


JB advice should be taken with a grain of salt.
to say he is a hypocrit is too much of a compliment, he's just wrong most of the time and lucky every once in a while.


Hypocracy only applies to repubs as dems have passed legislation making them immune to charges of hypocracy.


Befor Biden was VP he was the guy on televised hearings who would have a turn to ask a question and would drone on and on until his time ran out. That guy is kin to obama. they both carry mirrors in their back pocket and it is a mirro they look at and not an electronic communication device.

Twenty-four years ago when he said that the political season didn't last 3 years and 10 months long either.

He is clearly being a hypocrite. Why can't you just admit it? This sheepish loyalty to spin everything to make everyone in a chosen party look perfect is repulsive to thinking people.

How do you ignore and point fingers away from the fact that he clearly even says that Bush shouldn't even name a nominee? Which is even further than the senate should vote down any nominee, because it is the political season.

You can be a thinking adult and admit that Obama, Biden, and Harry Reid are hypocrites on this issue, but still point out that Republicans are hypocrites on this issue too and that Obama should be able to get a nominee in.

It will be "do as I say, not as I do" from the left.

Afterall SENATOR Obama was all for the Senate blocking presidential appointments and felt it was his duty as a senator to go along with a filibuster to stop them. Of course NOW he says he regrets that, especially since it's biting him in the butt now.

Yes based on his statement 24 years ago he is a hypocrite but he wasn't the senate majority leader, you need only go back 1 week to see the hypocrisy of the senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. There are plenty of examples on both sides as you stated, do we need to do a treasure hunt and keep score.


Mitch McConnell stated in 2009 that he would obstruct Obama every chance he could if he follows through on this threat as he had for the past 7 years it will take it to the next level.

He was the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. Which could obstruct a nominee from even getting to a vote in the senate. And, remember.. McConnell wasn't majority leader until 2015. 6 years Obama had a senate majority.. But, it's all the republicans' fault.

You're spinning.

But.. I will give this.. Joe Biden stuck his foot in his mouth? STOP THE PRESSES!

We're talking about someone who told a guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.

This is the guy you want to hold up as your Great White Hope? Draft Biden? Ummm.. Ok. Let's see how those big choppers do through several debates. This is a guy who it would not shock me if he started telling a story about his "Aunt Jemima". Chronic foot-in-mouth-itis.

The only saving grace to Biden is that I think he really does care about the country, same as Sanders, Cruz and Rubio.. unlike Trump and Clinton, who are in it just to feed their massive egos. Of course, Dan Quayle I think cared about the country, too.. Doesn't mean I would vote for him.
