There are two possible explanations of Joe Biden’s inability to tell the truth about things: One is that his mind is failing him, the other is that his honor is. In neither case is Biden fit to hold the office of president of the United States of America, and Democrats would discredit themselves and endanger the nation to nominate him.
Yes, yes, go ahead — “But, Trump!” etc. — and continue when you’ve completed the ritual of equivocation, and don’t think too hard about how far and in what direction that line of moral self-justification has carried the Republican party.
Joe Biden is a plagiarist and a liar, among other things.

Joe Biden was a liar before his brain aneurysms. Some people are lowlife scum. He’s the quintessential democrat. Sleazy, sneaky, dishonest, ad Infinitum.

Only the LORD can clean up our ugly, selfish hearts...
There is none righteous, no not one.
~ Romans 3:10
Some men are more honorable though... Dr. Ben Carson, for example.

NR can't even write an article criticizing Joe Biden without taking an obligatory side swipe at our President. Yet over the past four years, President Trump has lied to conservatives less than National Review has.
An angry reader once wrote to William F. Buckley, "You are too arrogant to know your own sins. You are beneath contempt." To his credit, Buckley published the letter. I wonder if anyone at NR even reads their mail anymore.

As I said many times on this site, Joe Biden is not fit to command. I really think he has some very serious mental issues. He is also a liar, he's dirty, he's a pervert and totally incompetent.

Joe Biden is not the one to watch. It is whoever is run in under the tent as his Vice President. Good Ol' Electable Joe is not going to make it through his first term; he knows it and they know it. It is a bait and switch. They will pull in as VP someone who would never on his own have been elected. And ensconce as Speaker someone additionally abhorrent. Eureka! You have the true new faces of the Dem party. And Good Ol' Benign Electable Joe made it all happen.
Or that was how it was supposed to have worked until Joe began flailing about, trying to show to himself that He Still Had It. His own hubris is mucking the works.

They keep talking about Biden's mind and general incompetence but the only difference between Old Joe and Hillary Clinton is about fifty pounds.

The left doesn't care if he is a liar. They ran Ms. Squarepants, and who has lied more than she, from sniper fire to Whitewater papers suddenly appearing on a table in the white House? Lying is an enhancement to the left's resume, so why care about that aspect of the Creepy One?

It must be that his mind is failing him. He failed on the honor front decades ago.

#7 sums it up perfectly.
The leftists, socialists, commies, and good old demonrats want a liar. Their cause can only be advanced by someone who is so shameless, so conscienceless that he/she can lie with a face straight enough that their delusional, brain-dead masses will believe them.
Can you say "Master B. Clinton" and "Little 0bie" - - the master liars? Or "Jigolo Jawn" and "The Beast" - - the less skillful liars?

“The last thing this country needs is another pathological liar in its highest office.”
Is Williamson talking about Clinton or 0bama here? He doesn’t say, but given his record he’s probably talking about PDT.
Note to self: skip articles by Williamson.

I don't think anyone would or should vote for Biden.
So, I hope he is the Democrat candidate.

Joe Biden is the same as he was thirty odd years ago when he openly plagiarized Neil Kinnock's speech and had to drop out of his first run for the Presidency. He is just glossier now: what with the glow in the dark teeth, the taut botoxed face and the plugs. He has always been a liar, and it is a shame people think it is cute. Plus, there is something ultra creepy about a man forcing his female FBI protection watch him swim in the nude every day. It is a cliche to say that, were this Trump or any other Republican........... (And what about DR. Jill Biden, with a doctorate in EDUCATION?)

And as to the comment on the article's author, the days when I loved National Review and Bill Crystal and company are long long gone. Just too deranged to deal with. A shame.

30% Joe seems stuck. He can not stop lying, he can not stop pandering, he can not move ahead of his 30% or fall below it. He is there and soon he will be the Democratic party laughing stock of a candidate running against a man who just might go down in history as the greatest
American President in our history!

It's simple - Joe becomes the candidate and installs PIAPS as his #2. They win, Joe becomes "incapacitated" and unable to do his duties, is removed or steps down and Satans' Prom Queen its the job she was so unfairly denied years earlier.

Idiot Joe has always been meaner than a snake, a vicious backstabber, and a plagiarist, and a facile liar.
His dementia has not improved his ethics, morals or his truthfulness.

#5 Watch old creepy Joe, if he gets the nomination, pick Hillary to be his VP. By hook or crook Felonious von Pantsuit is going to find away to rule over us.

Thank you #2 for reference to Dr. Ben Carson. Every time I see him on TV I am reminded what a neat man he is. Truth to tell about NR, I have absolutely forgotten just who they would have rather had as president. Can't remember and now I truly do not care. It is them versus me. So be it.

As much as I dislike and distrust Biden, I dislike NR even more. They do not have one writer in the stable that I can stomach. Not even one.
