And that is why I don’t vote for Democrats
Biden: Democrats have lost faith in the American people
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.
Once their party leader lied to my face, and they afterwards offered apologies to him and for him, I knew it was time to jump off the fence and become an adult.
In 2004 48% of American voters weren’t ready for a ball-check. Let’s hope 2008 goes better.
