All Huffy, Joe Biden Stands By Rape Reference to GOP

Article here. I'm sending Matt articles about Biden to expose his misandry, not because I support either party. I mention this because this particular piece comes from a conservative publication. Excerpt:

'Vice President Joe Biden now says he didn’t make a reference to rape, and got testy with HUMAN EVENTS when we asked if he would like to retract his comments that the number of sexual assaults would increase if Republicans don’t sign on to Barack Obama’s latest “jobs” proposal.

“I didn’t use, no no no...Let’s get it straight, guy. Don’t screw around with me,” Biden lashed out at HUMAN EVENTS. Then Biden confirmed that he indeed did talk about rape in terms of the President’s spending measure. “Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise,” if the Democrats agenda isn’t passed, he added.

It was on Tuesday during a speech at the University of Pennsylvania where Biden initially argued that another round of government spending was needed to prevent sexual assaults. “It’s not temporary [administration’s proposed stimulus] when that 911 call comes in and a woman’s being raped, if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape. It’s not temporary to that woman.” Then in the same speech he wished Republicans were themselves rape victims. “I wish they had some notion of what it was like to be on the other side of a gun, or [to have] a 200-pound man standing over you, telling you to submit.”'

Honestly, his gender politics aside, I am just really scared this guy is a heartbeat away from the presidency. He just seems very ill-tempered and easily unhinged. He just can't seem to keep his composure. He doesn't seem to think before he speaks.

No one can get it right all the time. High-profile pols are in a very rough place, but when I mean high-profile, I mean the president, speaker of the house, chief justice of the SC. Of those three, the president is in the hardest spot because he gets the most attention and people really want to see him get off kilter to make some news. So anyone who holds that office needs to be even-tempered and not necessarily perfectly articulate, but he has to be not easily flustered. Even a small amount of flusteredness or signs of losing temper makes headlines. So anyone in that office or as close to it as the VP is has to have that quality (even if most VPs will never be in the president's position). If you get flustered by reporters or interviewers, what will happen when you get a 3:00 AM call telling you there is a crisis that you need to deal with immediately?

Mr. Biden does not fill me with confidence in the least. And I am not saying this for partisan political reasons or even because I can't stand his bigoted misandry. I am saying this because as the next person in line to the US presidency, he just doesn't seem like he has the temperament necessary to even come close to fulfilling the role.

Why is rape talked about like the most jaw dropping crime? I don't see murder rates being used to politically blackmail others? Rape is bad but its not murder, which is final. Do people just see rape victims as innocent but murder victims as partly to blame? If that's true that would be victim blaming.

So if biden cares about murder why isn't there funding going to the prevention of it like vawa?!?
