Vice President
Joe Biden spent
36 years as a U.S. Senator
before becoming the Vice President. Joe Biden
's Senate career included
chairmanships of the Judiciary and the Foreign Relations committees, as well as
failed Presidential runs in 1988 and 2008.
Joe Biden is well-spoken and
had extensive exposure to
foreign policy issues, which is one of the reasons why
Barack Obama chose him as his
running mate in 2008. But foreign policy exposure is different from foreign policy judgment,
and J
oe Bid
en isn't known for providing intellectual leadership on foreign
policy matters.
On the social front, Jo
e Bid
en is a
self-professed Roman Catholic but opposes
Catholic social values.
He is pro-embryonic stem cell research, pro-
abortion,
anti-Constitutional ban on
homosexual marriage,
and even admits that
his beliefs are not
Biblical.
If Jo
e Bide
n runs for the Presidency again in 2016, he will be 74 years
and most likely will
be deemed too old.
Should he defy his age and run, our rating of his Presidential candidacy will
remain a
D+, principally for his anti-life positions and lackluster
intellectual leadership on foreign policy matters.
