Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 05:01 PM by CatWoman
If it should bite him in the ass, the way Republican corporate ties are biting the Republicans in the ass, I'm all for it.

This isn't a "party" issue.

Republicans fall over themselves trying to defend their crimes.

I say let any and EVERY Democrat pay for theirs.

6. If it'll spare us
the sight of his smug mug (you just know his bathroom mirror is covered in smoochmarks) in the 2008 primaries, I'm definitely good with that.

10. Gag... I think Biden is my least favorite Democrat
I prefer Lieberman even to him. Not only does Biden vote for bad shit on a routine basis, he's got a thoroughly repulsive personality, too. Smug bastard.

15. Heh
I don't know which is more annoying... Biden frequently pausing to dazzle with those Hollywood choppers... or the "just happy to be here" face Lieberman wears when he's in Bush's Rose Garden.

11. I've despised him since the Bankruptcy Bill
He'll never get my vote, I don't give a shit what his reasons were for voting on it.

13. Delaware, home of Paramount Pictures
What?

Hey, what's a tiny little state to do if it doesn't become a tax haven?

Somehow even smaller Rhode Island manages to get by...

18. Most big corporations incorporate there
due to the tax laws.

I'm sure someone who knows more about it will post soon but I think something like 80% of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated there.

21. It IS Delaware, after all. The Credit Card state
Biden and the other one...what is his name...both lunged to vote in favor of the Draconian bankruptcy reform bill for their credit card pals.

23. Say Joe! How's that contempt of congress charge against Ashcroft going?
Oh, you blew it off? Gee, I was under the impression that you cared that US troops were being treated the same way prisoners at Abu Gharib were? My mistake. :sarcasm:
