'SLOW JOE' BIDEN STEPS IN FOR OBAMA AT NAACP...


Playing to what was described as being a very nearly empty house, a fact that was apparently blamed on some inclement weather in the area, our stellar vice president, 'Slow Joe' Biden, in typical fashion, chose to use race as more of a way to divide, than to bring together, as he pushed NAACP convention attendees to contrast Barry "Almighty’s" Department of Justice with a potential Mitt Romney DOJ. "Imagine what the Romney Justice Department will look like," Biden told those few in the NAACP audience who had bothered to show up on Thursday to hear him speak. He went on, "Imagine when his senior advisor on constitutional issues is Robert Bork. Imagine those incredibly important positions of justice. Imagine, and I mean this, this to me is one of the most critical issues in this election, imagine what the Supreme Court will look like after four years of a Romney presidency." Is this guy a piece of work, or what? And yet, blacks continue to eat this stuff up. And I'm sure that comment of old 'Slow Joe's' most likely went over pretty well with the racist NAACP members gathered in attendance since it was on Tuesday that the NAACP 'unanimously' passed what was referred to as being an "emergency resolution" calling the bipartisan votes to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal and civil contempt of Congress a "travesty of justice." The resolution, I suppose, was intended to be a method by which the NAACP could "express their outrage at the treatment of the first African-American and one of the best attorney generals in history." As the resolution passed, Holder, who is most likely the worst Attorney General since Janet Reno, arrived to a rock-star greeting, walking around shaking the hands of many of those in attendance. During his speech at the NAACP on Wednesday, Romney avoided the topic of justice issues choosing, instead, to focus on the issues of the economy and education. Over the course of the campaign Romney hasn’t said much on what his DOJ would look like if he wins the November election, but he has criticized Barry’s DOJ, and especially Holder. "There’s not very much that Eric Holder does that I agree with," Romney said at a campaign event late in 2011 in New Hampshire. "I have to wonder how it is that the president continues to support him, and the answer must be the president agrees with him," he added. Romney has called for Holder's resignation over Operation Fast and Furious, too. And he joins 130 House members, eight U.S. senators and two sitting governors in demanding Holder’s resignation over the scandal. Maybe the NAACP folks might be a little less forgiving if it was a black border agent that had gotten killed courtesy of Fast and Furious. But then maybe not. After all 200 black men have thus far been murdered in Chicago just this year, and yet where's the outrage there? Not important enough of an issue for the DOJ? "Either Mr. Holder himself should resign or the president should ask for his resignation or remove him," Romney said in early December 2011. "It’s not acceptable for him to continue in that position given the fact that he has misled Congress and entirely botched the investigation of the Fast and Furious program." Romney also supports voter ID laws, something Holder and Barry’s administration vehemently oppose. Holder even went to far as to promise those at the NAACP gathering that he would prevent the Texas version of the law from going forward. The former Massachusetts governor has also made Barry’s decision to assert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents a bit of a campaign issue lately. On Sean Hannity’s radio program and on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News Channel show this week, Romney responded to Barry’s "transparency" attacks on him by pointing out how Barry is doing everything he can to keep concealed Fast and Furious documents. I still say that it's a very sad commentary on a group that was initially brought together for very honorable reasons, and based on such high ideals and sound principles to have, today, deteriorated into its present state and to the point where it is merely a shadow of it's former self. At some point there must have been a conscious decision made to abandon all those for whom it could provide some service or benefit, to instead, become, what essentially amounts to nothing more than an extension of the Democrat Party. If the members in attendance here were actually behaving true to the founding principles or their organization, Biden should have been the one on the receiving end of any boos, not Romney. Romney should have been the recipient of any number of standing ovations. If there is anything that was made abundantly clear, it's the fact that the priorities of this group have become skewed to where the possessing of at least some level of political power now far outweighs the needs of the black individual.
