Why Some People Approve of Joe Biden
Biden is liked by people that want to be tough on crime, if they know that he wrote the Violent Crime control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The bill enlarged the span of crimes that are punishable by the death penalty. Though they would like him even more if he hadn’t voted contrary to limiting appeals for capitol cases. People that agree that Drug offenders shouldn’t be put in prison find his stance appealing. These are usually people that think marijuana smokers shouldn’t be put in jail.
Other people will approve of his belief that voluntary prayer in schools should be allowed and those that support abstinence-only Sex educations naturally find him likeable, if they believe he really means it. The National Education Association definitely likes Biden. Some of the reasons for their support are he wants smaller class rooms, he wants a program that appeals to the smartest students to get them in Education, and he voted for Educational Savings Accounts. The American Education Association supported him in votes by 91%.
Environmentalists like his politics concerning global warming. He would like a treaty focused on developing countries so that their emission would be reduced. He is on board for technologies that would create new eco-friendly fuels such as bio-diesel-fuels. And he believes in generating technologies that would reduce greenhouse emissions. He is also against drilling in the Artic Wildlife Refuge.
Those people against guns like Biden because he wants a law to stop people from having a way to buy a gun easier at gun shows than at gun stores or pawn shops.
The American Health Association is on his bandwagon by 100% because he wants some form of nationalized health insurance. He supports ways to make health care accessible to everyone.
Illegal immigrants that have knowledge of his stance on their being in the country naturally like Biden. He believes in guest worker visa and supplying Social Security illegal aliens. He also is in favor of making a way for them to become citizens.
Farmers probably favor him to some degree because he voted for the Farm Bill. This bill is a continuation of farm subsidy and it has provisions to develop rural areas, conservation, nutrition, and energy. It is also called the Food Conservation Act of 2008. Some of the things that it focuses on are ways to reduce pests and diseases.
Folks that think personal bankruptcy should be limited will like that he voted in favor of that. That seems to be congenial to debt collectors and businesses.
Those that think that corporations shouldn’t outsource jobs found his vote on repealing tax subsidies for such companies approvable. They believe those corporations shouldn’t have outsourced in the first place.
In a nutshell people with strict conservative ideals and those with a liberal bent can find things to like about Vice President Joe Biden. Many will appreciate his nature of thinking out issues individually instead of voting party line every time.
