Reporting like this is why politicians lie to the media. Moments of honesty are blown way out of proportion to the spirit of what was said. |

[raises hand]
I have a question.
Why do we care what he says? He's just a lousty vice-president.
Old joke:
There were 2 brothers. 1 traveled up the amazon, the other became Vice President.
Neither were ever heard from again. |

Yeah, I hate the guy and oppose the silly hysteria, but he did not contradict himself. "Diminish" is not "put an end to". |

@5Cats: I hope you're just trolling.. Either that, or you need English lessons. |

Wow.. That's really horrible journalism.. He didn't contradict himself at all.. Less than 100% success does not equal "not trying/not worth the effort"
Also the "maybe he didn't know the cameras were rolling" is complete bs. He was surrounded by reporters, and there were at least 3 cellphones in his face recording every word (as far as i could see from that video). They used a clip from the back to make it look like a plausible statement. That's plainly misleading.
They're going so far to get a "scoop", they've left reality. |

Even in the context they put it in which is clearly meant to make him look bad, the message is still clear and doesn't contradict what he said while the kids were there. He said they have to do what they can to try and prevent these types of shootings from happening but realistically there's no way anyone or any laws can can guarantee it won't happen again. |

Joe "Teh Sherrif" Biden is a walking gaff machine. He makes Dan Quail (remember him?) look like a genius.
The ONLY reason we don't see this sort of nonsense constantly (as we did with Quail) is because the MSM is 100% biased.
@FP: When a Democrat is quoted accurately? It's a "hatchet job"? Nice link, but it confirms that he said what he said, eh? |

This is pretty much a terrible hatchet job. What he said after this was that lawmakers can take steps "that have virtually zero impact on your Second Amendment right to own a weapon for both self-defense and recreation but can save some lives."

I don't see a contradiction there.. He said he has a moral obligation to do whatever he can to stop a mass shooting from happening, but that doesn't mean that he has the actual power to do so. It's impossible to stop eliminate the possibility of a mass shooting as long guns are around. To do that you would need to completely remove guns from civilians, not just try to restrict them. |
