Whom to despise most? Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, the talking heads, or the whimpering audience of welfare-warfare half-wits? My mind changes as each opens his or her mouth.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Holy sh*t, Joe Biden just uttered a non-appalling sentiment! When asked how he’d deal with Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, Biden said (paraphrasing), The first thing I’d do is end this policy of regime-change. We’re saying to Iran: get rid of the only thing that keeps us from attacking you, then we’ll attack you.<\/em><\/p>\n He then followed up by grunting that he’d “take out” any weapon Iran may build. Ho-hum. Status quo ante.<\/p>\n UPDATE 2: Biden has since taken credit for the U.S. intervention in the Balkans and sworn to bomb Sudan real good.<\/p>\n FINAL: It’s too dispiriting to list and rebut every wrongheaded policy on sale tonight, so I won’t. Suffice to say that, despite the frequent references by CNN’s John King to the strength of the antiwar movement among Democratic voters, each of the candidates with a shot at becoming president or vice president is a committed imperialist. If this is how they play to their supposedly antiwar base, imagine what they’ll be saying when they turn right after the primaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whom to despise most?
