Fuck Joe Biden



Volume 4 of the FTR series in which he puts the word fuck in front of a presidential candidate’s name.

Someone, somewhere must have been happy when Joe Biden declared his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. There are not many who support Biden because he is a credit card company whore, a drug war fanatic and a man who has royally fucked over our soldiers. He is also a douchebag.

Most of those who are opposed to Joe Biden dislike him because of his love of credit card companies. In March, 2005, Joe Biden was one of the main supporters of the most destructive pieces of legislation ever passed: The Bankruptcy Bill.

The "Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection" in this bill was only for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies and completely left Chapter 11 alone. Why? Because Chapter 11 is mainly used by businesses and after Enron and WorldCom, Chapter 11 clearly does not need fixing. 7 and 13 are individual avenues of bankruptcy and the average Joe out there was getting away with murder. It had to be stopped. Here’s what I mean by murder:


96% of bankruptcies are the result of divorce, job loss, unforeseen medical bills or a combination.

The average income of people who file bankruptcy in the US is less than $30K.

A recent Harvard study found that half of Americans who declared bankruptcy did so because of illness or medical bills.

Two out of three have lost a job.

Fewer than 9% are the result of abusive spending, which was the catalyst for the bill.


Clearly those deadbeats needed to be dealt with. The bill rewrote bankruptcy laws to reduce protection for consumers, increased MBNA members predatory lending practices and made it easier for corporations to collect from families who, in the past, could declare bankruptcy.

Some Democrats wanted to place amendments in the bill to even things out a bit but every time they tried they ran into assholes like Biden. How about an amendment to not strip away existing protections for people who are “struggling to stay alive, housed, and fed while taking care of ill or disabled family members?” No way, said Biden! What about “consumer protection for individuals whose medical debts are the reason they're filing for bankruptcy?” Fuck no, said Joe! Okay, then lets “protect employees and retirees from corporate practices that deprive them of their earnings and retirement savings when a business files for bankruptcy.” Fuck off, bitch. What about “simply requiring credit card companies to give people more prominent warnings about what will happen if they only pay the minimum required payments on those cards.” Eat me - Senator Joe Biden. Um. Okay. At least let us write “a provision that would ensure that no elderly people in enough financial trouble to seek bankruptcy protection would lose their homes.” Suck it – Joe Biden.

Then there’s my personal favorite, the one that should have Joe Biden and his corporate loving friends strung up by their balls In Sadr City, so the locals can have their way with him:


To protect service members and veterans from means testing in bankruptcy, to disallow certain claims by lenders charging usurious interest rates to service members, and to allow service members to exempt property based on the law of the State of their pre-military residence.


Biden voted against this amendment. It was an amendment to protect soldiers fighting in Iraq from bankruptcies by predatory lenders charging usurious interest rates and to allow them the protections of their own state laws, which may have allowed them to keep their homes. While they were fucking fighting in Iraq. Cock of the century Joe Biden said “No.”

Not surprisingly, soldiers began to experience economic hardships. Then guess what? The Defense Department released a study that showed an inordinately high number of recruits were being disqualified from service because of debt problems. Holy shit, who could have seen that coming? Biden’s precious bankruptcy law protected predatory lenders who set up “paycheck loan” businesses outside of military bases, but not the men and women fighting. It doesn’t protect the soldier who comes back from Iraq with medical problems. He will lose his home. It won’t protect the reservist who couldn’t work at his small private business while fighting in the desert. He will lose his business. Joe Biden and others in Congress like him have, quite simply, done great damage to our military.

My favorite off all the corporate loving bullshit Biden was behind is the Universal Credit Act. It’s simple. If you are late or miss a payment on any of your bills, creditors can jack your interest rate on ALL of your bills (mortgage, car-payment, other credit cards.) And they can charge rates as high as they want because people like Biden voted against capping consumer interest rates at 30%. Sky’s the limit!

So, he’s a corporate whore. They all are, right? Well, how about a racist corporate whore? Surely everyone knows what he said about
Barack Obama the day after he declared for president:


"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," he said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."


Oops. He of course didn’t mean it like THAT. I mean, come on. I guess he also didn’t mean this:



Nor, I guess did he mean to brag about being from a “slave state.”



How, so very presidential. I’ve pretty much had enough of presidents who say retarded things. Vote for Biden and look forward to him traveling the world and infuriating foreign leaders.

Well, okay, he’s a racist, corporate whore. But they all are. Really? What about a racist, rave-hating, corporate whore? You read that right, he hates raves. And to prove it he created on of the stupidest pieces of legislation ever. First, you have to understand that Joe is a big leader in the war on drugs. He actually created the post of “Drug Czar,” which has been amazingly effective. When Joe heard about all the drugs being done at raves, he had to act.


Under Biden's RAVE Act, anyone who organizes an event or owns a venue where someone uses an illegal drug can be held liable for that drug use.


Besides being just plain idiotic, the bill is too broad. It can be used against rock concert promoters and even professional sports franchises if fans are smoking pot in the stands.

Okay, so he’s a racist, rave-hating, drug freak, corporate whore. But they all are. Really? Well what about the fact that he wants to kill independent music?

In 2002 there was a bill heading to the Senate floor for a vote called the "Anti-counterfeiting Amendments of 2002." It was originally intended to make it illegal to traffic counterfeit movies, music, etc. But then Joe got his dirty little hands on it. He added an amendment that would have made it a felony to trick devices into playing your music or running your computer program. It would have made it illegal for you to record music of your own band and share it with friends, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $25,000 fine. There is no greater threat to the music industry than bands selling music on their own and Biden was trying to stop it before it started. Way to look out for the common man, Joe!

Okay, so he’s a racist, rave-hating, anti-drug freak, independent music murderer and a corporate whore. All politicians are. Um, okay, uh. What about the fact that he loved the war before he hated the war?


October 10, 2002 press release from Joseph Biden: “On the eve of a momentous Senate vote on a resolution authorizing the use of military force against Iraq, Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr. said he would support the measure in order to further U.S. and international goals in Iraq.” Biden praised George W. Bush as coming to a reasonable decision of starting a war in Iraq, saying, “the combination of this resolution, and the President’s own words in his recent speeches give me confidence that most of our core concerns have been addressed.”

“I commend President Bush and Secretary Powell for their skill and perseverance”.


I'm surprised he didn't get on his knees and blow them. I can honestly say that few of my concerns were addressed about the war and since I am a guy who just sits around reading the internet, the fact that I knew more than a potential presidential candidate is frightening. But now, of course, Joe is ready to end the war. He wants to carve Iraq up into Sunni, Shiite and Kurd pieces, which will be really easy.

All you have to do is ask all the Shiites to move out of the Sunni area and the Sunnis to move out of the Shiite area, and hope they have an equal number of houses so the switch will go smoothly. And the Sunnis will have to move out of Kirkuk. And the Kurds can’t kill the Turkmen. Tell the Assyrians to go back to Assyria. Armenians? Why are they there? I don’t know what to do with the fucking Christians! Just kill them. What do you mean the Druze? Who the fuck are they? God damn it, this isn’t working!

Anyway, Joe Biden is a fucking joke. He’s a racist, rave-hating, anti-drug freak, independent music murdering, war waffling, corporate whore. Sure, he’s kind of funny when he’s on the Daily Show and his hair looks like pubes, but that’s not enough to elect a president.

This makes me sad. I was sad when Bush won against Kerry and was actually depressed for weeks, not wanting to live in this country. (Stupid, I know.) But if this guy EVER, EVER somehow got into office I'd have jump ship for real. Oh well, at least I can hate him and have a good time with that.

This guy sounds pretty fucked up.

Why can't we escape from this two party bullshit and set up a system where people who are smart and level-headed can actually run for the presidency?

The plagiarism was proven to be a false allegation. He quoted the man who he supposedly plagiarized during every speech but one. It was a mistake. The Dukakis aid who pointed it out was fired.

I think he might have a better chance at being elected if he got rid of the Steven Seagal look-alike hairdoo.

Sadly we already have that, problem is that money = stronger campaign and therefore higher name value and as we all know, money seems to travel in the same circles it was already in. Which basically means the hundreds of other (probably often more qualified) get ignored by the mass's unless they have one of the 2 bigger parties endorsement which of course would mean that they have to represent the party and the party's interests. You also have the problem of having a decently known 3rd party representative who Conservatives wont vote for because they generally have strong party loyalty and the so called "Liberals" who might actually prefer this candidate to the Democrat in question are often to scared of voting for him because of the fear that the division of votes would lead to a Conservative win.
The answer to the problem is more active supporters of the 3rd party and to reduce the loyalty to which many Liberal minded people have for the corrupt misleading Democratic Party. ... Basically one of the 2 existing parties will have to suffer a loss and being that there tends to be more diversity and varying extremes in the liberal mindset it would likely have to be the Democrats
Then you would have to deal with our voting system which is a huge problem in itself
and the sad fact is most Americans would rather go the easy route and choose from the "lesser of the 2 evils" they are presented with

Maybe part of the problem is that people like you appear to be hearing about "this guy" for the first time? It's not like Biden hasn't been a national figure for over a decade or anything...

Fortunately I don't think he has a serious chance in making it past (or even to) the primaries
