And the fact that he's for Biden? The guy who wants to crack into 3 chunks? F**kin' insanity! That should make the Iraqis--no wait--the Likuds very happy.

Thinking that maybe I was mistaken, I checked his voting record on the odious Patriot Act. Joe "Constitution" Biden voted yea: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=1&vote=00313 That egregious piece of legislation is all one needs to know. Heck, maybe the guy regrets his vote. The way it was shoved through Congress without a moment's consideration (no one had a chance to even read the damn thing!) cannot be ignored. Has he made any attempt to repeal it? I seriously doubt it. To be fair, he did vote nay on the MCA and the awful Lieberman-Kyl amendment. Now if he could only apply the same kind of Constitutional thinking to domestic matters rather than treating the U.S. Treasury like a slush fund for his cronies....
