Biden Fails in Effort to Pander to Gun Owners
September 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
Using a tone MSNBC described as “folksy,” Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden tried to convince rural Virginians the other day that he’s a devoted gun owner who will not allow presidential nominee Barack Obama to “fool with my Beretta.” He failed. “Senator Biden must think America’s gun owners are dumber than rocks,” said Alan [...]
