It doesn’t matter which party a candidate is in, if that candidate refuses to tell their position on a relevant issue, they will not get my vote, nor do they deserve yours.
Biden says he will not tell his position on Supreme Court packing until after the election. That’s like Nancy Pelosi claiming that ObamaCare has to be passed before we can know what’s in the bill.
For any logical and critical thinker, that should be game, set and match. But the list of reasons NOT to vote for Joe Biden is much longer and are highlighted below.
Biden claims to be the candidate that best represents the issues women are concerned about. Yet, there is a long list of women standing up to be heard about the abuses they have endured at his hand. The list of those claiming to be wronged by Joe isn’t just one or two. It includes Tara Read, Lucy Flores, Ally Coll, Sofie Karasek, Amy Stokes Lappos, Caitlyn Caruso, DJ Hill and Vail Kohuert-Yount, to name a few.
We have seen racial tensions across the nation recently and Mr. Biden claims he knows how to remedy these issues as well. If that is true, then why is he making racially charged statements such as this statement from an on-the-record hearing on Capitol Hill “Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.” Or more recently when he told the host of a radio program, “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
I guess we really shouldn’t be too surprised by this, especially knowing that he did the eulogy at one of his close friend’s funeral, a former recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Bird. It is especially instructive when he said, while describing his former running mate President Obama, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Then you have to worry about his honesty. Biden ran for president in 1988 but had to leave the race after being caught stealing, word for word, a speech from British politician Neil Kinnock and using it at a debate at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 23, 1988.
Just recently Joe Biden claimed to have never said he was for banning the process for retrieving oil called fracking. But a CNN video from Jan. 25, 2020, shows him saying he is for banning it.
After 47 years in the political world, he still claims he has the answers. He doesn’t have any accomplishments to show he ever implemented any of those answers, even as vice president. But he does have a record of opposing the Second Amendment and blaming guns for crime, instead of criminals.
But worst of all, and the most egregious position he holds on any issue is his belief that abortion should not be limited or ended.
This has been an easy article to write because the reasons not to vote for Joe are so numerous. And I didn’t even mention Burisma or relationships with China. And this guy wants to be president?
