The Issue: VP Biden’s comment to a racially mixed crowd that the GOP wants to “put y’all back in chains.”
***
There is one good reason to vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan — crazy Vice President Joe Biden (“What Biden Really Said,” Editorial, Aug. 16).
The fact that he is a heartbeat away from becoming the president is scary.
The way this man flies off the handle with his crude comments could be dangerous. He doesn’t even know where he is lately.
Forget President Obama’s college records and Romney’s tax records. I would like to see Biden’s medical records.

Biden continues his stupidity by saying the wrong thing, as always.
In his latest screw-up, however, he played the race card.
It is interesting to see that the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson didn’t open their mouths about it.
Doesn’t this moron know the old adage “think before you speak?”

Everyone makes a gaffe now and then, but Biden does it on a regular basis. He always puts his foot in his mouth with some real beauties.
In the past few days, he didn’t know what state he was in, what century it is and went over the top with the putting “y’all back in chains” comment.
I really hope he is OK, but I don’t think so. To think he is a heartbeat away from the presidency is frightening.

Biden is a buffoon, but a dangerous one, inasmuch as most of his remarks are not amusing.
They are uttered by a man whose position requires intelligence and diplomacy.
Instead, he promotes division among the American people for political purposes.
He’s of an age where wisdom should have been achieved by now.

Let’s all pray for Obama’s health at least until January 20.
Biden’s off-the-wall comments in the last four years and his bad foreign-policy record — including being against the Gulf War and the surge — make him a complete failure as a politician.
What a disgrace.

Biden got it half-right about the chains.
It is his administration that wants as many of us as possible in chains, or dependent on a very large and expensive federal government.
Sorry, Joe. Get it right the next time.
