Biden became a widower with 2 small children, shouldn't the Dem's argument apply 2 HIM about staying home?

Question

He had plenty of money and did not NEED to work in politics. So how to they explain the double standard? He didn't even have a spouse or older kids as backup.

Answer 1

Another example of the "do as I say, not as I do" liberal/Democrat mentality.  Like every other Democrat that is caught in hypocrisy, he will get a pass.

Answer 2

He stayed at home in Delaware to take care of them rather than moving to D.C.

Answer 3

Biden isn't rich.  Never been rich.  And he did stay home - in case you haven't heard, he takes the train back home to his family in Delaware every day.

And Biden's wife died decades ago, when he was a new Senator and during a time that the Senate didn't do nearly as much as the modern Senate does.  I agree with you that it's absurd to attack a professional woman for having a family, but your comparison doesn't hold water.

Answer 4

Yeah, you got THAT right Janet!!!  DOUBLE STANDARD HYPOCRISY, your name is Campbell Brown!!!

Answer 5

He was an elected Senator.

If Palin had a similar situation, I would expect her to put her service first too...

Palin is choosing to accept the nom... Biden already had.

Bidens kids were older and did not have mental disorders too...

Sorry, but this just isn't working for me as a comparison.

Answer 6

At least Biden didn't divorce his wife to marry a wealthy woman.

McCain can't even keep track of the houses that his wife's money has purchased.     He selects a VP candidate with absolutely no experience whatsoever in federal government, after criticising Obama for a lack of experience.

He's vowed to continue Bush's war and Bush's policies of making Haliburton and the oil companies ever richer and the American people ever poorer.

Maybe Cindy McCain can afford John McCain,  America can't.

Answer 7

Nope, because he has to make the world safe from you BUSH lovers. See, its not only about the money for the left (unlike you guys). Palin can stay at home.... Obama will make sure that her kids have a good future.
