Why would the scenario have to be that he is "shot by racists?" Just as McCain doesn't necessarily have to die of "natural" causes...
There ARE other factors that can cause the death of a President.
And as in the other thread - I'd probably like to see Biden as the one over the chosen head of the ticket.

If you re-read my OP, it says "may" and "might"...

Biden of course is a notably, regularly, and verifiably dishonest person, who while having held many positions in his lengthy tenure as a politician, has few actual accomplishments.
None the less, were he to become President, I would support him as the executive representative of the United States.

Mmm, why would Obama choose him if he has few accomplishments? I thought foreign policy and helping the poor were his strengths, no?....And why is he a liar?

No!! Joe Biden and the whole Dem party, more so of late, are socialists and I can never be comfortable, much less respect anyone who supports socialism.

I respect the Presidential office, but how can you respect someone who admits he is the wrong guy for the job?
quote:
"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. She’s a truly close personal friend, she is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she’s easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me. But she’s first rate, I mean that sincerely, she’s first rate, so let’s get that straight."

I think he would be lousy and that is the start of it. He's another Al Gore/Dan Quayle/John Edwards nobody who was brought to the ticket for no real reason than I can think of other than no one could possibly want them as successor to the president so if elected Obama need not worry that people would want his VP to take over.

And I thought he was chosen to be there in case of impeachment...

Actually, Al Gore got to vote a couple of times. As close as the Senate is should it stay that way I wouldn't be surprised if the next VP got to vote.

What's wrong with Gore, Quayle and Edwards?

Why hasn't the media reported that Biden is a liar more aggressively? They played it as though Biden crushed that debate....

No, because I don't respect socialists. And Biden would probably be the world's second most boring socialist if he were president.

Actually most pundits either thought it was a draw or a Palin win, because she aced the expectations. But all the snap polls the networks took after the debate showed a Biden win by a large margin. I also heard there was a WSJ poll out today saying the same thing. So, if you have a beef it's with the voters. They obviously liked what they saw in Biden compared with what they saw in Palin.

To answer the original question, no. Yet, as a soldier I've learned to respect the office.

If Obama/Biden are fairly elected and he eventually becomes President, I would accept him as my country's elected President. However, I can't respect a far-left pro-choice stand like his so I wouldn't 'respect' him.

Biden talks a good game. The problem is that after you've had time to think about what he said, you realize that he can make it up as fast as he says it.
And like his running mate, he's incredibly stingy. His record on charitable giving is awful. He's Ebenezer Scrooge and BHO is Jacob Marley. Or maybe it's the other way around.
On the other hand, that may be awfully mean to say about Ebenezer. He had a sister named Fan who he loved. BHO has a brother who lives in a shack in a disease and crime infested slum.

Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, and her husband, Todd, gave 1.5 percent of their income to charity last year and 3.3 percent in 2006, according to tax returns she released on Friday, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports.
Not exactly tithing either, eh? But I guess, since they're Republicans, then it's not hypocritical not to give much to charity because they don't really care about the poor anyway...
BTW: Obama donated over $240,000 to charity (nearly 6% of his income -- mostly through book sales) last year -- four times what the Palins did in percentage terms. How convenient that you left that little fact out. What's Sarah Palin's excuse? They're millionaires themselves.
To be honest, what other people give to charity is none my business -- and really is none of yours too. These ridiculous rants reflect badly on one person only -- you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_biden
With a net worth between $59,000 and $366,000, and almost no outside income or investment income, he is consistently ranked as one of the least wealthy members of the Senate.[61][62][63] Biden states that he has been listed as the second poorest member in Congress, a distinction that he is not proud of, but attributes it to being elected early in his career.[64]
I think Biden may not have given that much to charity (which is not for us to judge though), because he himself never had much. He became a lawyer in 1969 and then elected to county council in 1970 and Senate in 1972....
He never had the time/opportunity to make millions in private sector law practice or business like others. So this I just don't hold against him in regards to his character or qualifications for V.P./Pres.

Stop with the ridiculous argument. Biden earned $319,853 last year and gave whopping $995 to charity, a miniscule 0.3% of his income.
