Biden: Democrats Have Lost Faith In THe American People
H/T to Bryan for the latest Biden gem:
Sen. Joe Biden said in an interview at the New Hampshire Union Leader this afternoon that too many Democrats, including the frontrunners for the presidential nomination, do not have faith in the American people.
“We’ve got to trust the American people more,” Biden said.
“I think they’ve really lost faith in the American people in terms of leveling with them,” he said of his leading rivals.
When he asks groups of Democrats if they think the American people are stupid because they elected George W. Bush twice, most respond that, yes, they do, he said. He said he thinks that attitude is a real problem for the Democrats, who fail to understand how smart and pragmatic the American people really are.
Biden was generally critical of the far left wing of his party and of the strategies the frontrunners are using to win the nomination.
Doesn’t it make perfect sense that Democrats would respond that way? They have Democratic leaders that think nothing of insulting the POTUS on the floor of the Senate or Congress…..The Democrats feel they can run their lives better than you.

Pam, uh, I think you should rewrite your last line. “The Democrats feel they can run their lives better than you. ” Should be “Democrats feel they can run your lives better than you.”

Yes, how irrational and disrespectful the American people have been! The Democrites clearly are smarter and know best how our lives should be run! It’s obvious isn’t it? Haven’t they made it very clear? Yet the people have not given them the absolute Totalitarian power the Democrites seek!!!
The Democrites have offered the American people complete comfort by inviting them onto the Democrite Virtual Plantation! Once open to only minorities and entitlement types, the Plantation has now been made available to all! Just demonstrate fealty to the Democrites, that’s all we have to do! Vote for them, turn over all of your Constitutional rights to them, let them make all decisions for you! Vote for Hitllary, etc. In return the Democrites will relieve you of the need to make any substantial decisions, to take any risks. You’ll never fail personally or professionally again because you will never have to take any risks! Everything will be determined for you! Then you can just spend your free hours, the hours not spent working in a Gov’t factory, watching propaganda and inane programs from the idiot popular culture on TV! Woo Hoo!!!

Kudos to Biden for recognizing and acknowledging this.

They have done nothing but trash Bush since the day he took office. All because they ?think? he stole the election. Worse. They have continued down this path of Bush lied without once letting up. For those that don’t know it’s all because the Republicans went after Clinton in the 90’s. Revenge. Nothing more than revenge.
I hope that with the next election Americans finally understand how cruel and dishonest the democratic party is.

My only question is: “Which Republican did Biden plagiarize this speech from?”
The Democrats absolutely think the American people are too stupid to manage our own lives. The sad part is that as long as they are right about 51% of the populace, the rest of us will have to put up with them in office. Then again, popular wisdom at the time said that a small band of patriots representing less than 20% of the population would never be able to throw off the yoke of oppression of the mightiest empire on the planet.
