As a democrat, there are a few people I am kinda embarrassed by. He is close to the top of the list.

Biden puts his foot in his mouth, but he is not stupid. Palin, and Quayle, were just plain dumb.

Stupid compared to who? Compared to a certain somebody saying that there are 57 states? How 'bout telling a wheelchair bound man to stand up and be recognized?

With predetermination like that, all decisions in life must be easy...

I know its false, we went over this here on DP several months ago.

Post and link to her support of alaskan succession. Not some liberal yahoo speculating and prevaricating nonsensically about the evil Palin girl.

If Palin is just plain dumb, then Biden is extraordinarily dumb. If we're using your barometer of dumbness.

You do not get where he is by being stupid. He just looks stupid. Kinda like Quayle.

Edited to add: none of the people you mentioned are dumb. They all three succeeded in the very cutthroat arena of politics.

I don't think that Sarah Palin is an idiot. I do, however, think that she wasn't fully prepared for the scrutiny and insanity that a Presidential campaign had to offer. I think she was a bit out of her league, which isn't an insult. I think only a certain type of person is able to handle a Presidential campaign. It's obvious that she was a bit of a fish out of water, which is why I think some people mistake her for being stupid. I personally don't think she should have resigned so early if she was looking toward a having a serious 2012 run as she will be criticized by people both on the left and right for being a quitter. She is already getting some flack from people on the right about this. I honestly think that she resigned early because she wanted to get out of politics and got sick of her family being a constant go to for punchlines by late night comedians.

Quote and link her supporting sucession of Alaska and support for the successionist group.

This is why I didn't post any one link, I knew nothing I posted would be sufficient to penetrate the wall of predetermination you have built between reality and your opinions, so I offered you a buffet selection of news articles, reports, etc etc... you just go through there and find one you cannot dismiss immediately out of hand...

Oh thats right, there isn't one... even if someone scanned in a roster of the successionist part she was part of where she signed her name you sould refute it as forgery... so really, what am I benefiting from posting links?

There are PAGES of links for you, I THOUGHT that would be more credible than any one link, but I underestimated the power of denial.

The "LALALALA-I-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU" effect...

Again.

I don't think you are at all knowledgeable of Biden's accomplishments. Here is just one paragraph describing his initiatives in foreign policy. Dumb people don't do things like this:

Quote:

In response to the refusal of the U.S. Congress to ratify the SALT II Treaty signed in 1979 by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and President Jimmy Carter, Biden took the initiative to meet the Soviet Foreign Minister Andrey Gromyko, educated him about American concerns and interests, and secured several changes to address objections of the Foreign Relations Committee.[66] Biden's efforts to combat hostilities in the Balkans in the 1990s brought national attention and influenced presidential policy: traveling repeatedly to the region, he made one meeting famous by calling Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic a "war criminal". He consistently argued for lifting the arms embargo, training Bosnian Muslims, investigating war crimes and administering NATO air strikes. Biden's subsequent "lift and strike" resolution was instrumental in convincing President Bill Clinton to use military force in the face of systemic human rights violations.[67] Biden has called his role in affecting Balkans policy his "proudest moment in public life" that related to foreign policy.[65] Biden also called on Libya to release political prisoner Fathi Eljahmi.[68] In 1998, Congressional Quarterly named Biden one of "Twelve Who Made a Difference" for playing a lead role in several foreign policy matters, including NATO enlargement and the successful passage of bills to streamline foreign affairs agencies and punish religious persecution overseas

He's not just extraordinarily crazy, he's a caricature of a dumb politician who speaks before he thinks...

How do people like that KEEP getting elected?

/looks at the electorate

Oh, thats how...
