Does Biden Think Republicans Are Not To Be Regarded?

I am more than a little confused.  Barack Obama and Joe Biden are running against John McCain and Sarah Palin for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, right?  Shouldn’t those positions guarantee representation of ALL the citizens of this country?  Isn’t the reason we are a republic instead of a true democracy because all interests are to be regarded in the processes of government?  If I am correct, then why did Joe Biden respond as if Republicans are not entitled to consideration?

 Watch this video of an interview of Biden by Barbara West, of WFTV, a Florida TV station.  Pay close attention to the last twenty seconds or so of the clip.

The very last thing Barbara asks Biden is what does he have to say to people who think Barack Obama will want to turn America into a socialist country much like Sweden.  Biden says he doesn’t know anybody who thinks that except the far right wing and the Republicans.  That’s it.  He acts as if Right Wing America and Republicans are an insignificant minority, not deserving of having their worst fears quelled by the men who claim to be the Saviors we have been waiting for.  He refused to answer our concerns, and frankly I am even more scared for our future than I was before.  Even if we were a minority, we are still to be considered.

So, be prepared America.  We are so close to witnessing the fall of the Republic for which we have stood these two hundred plus years.  I wonder how long it will take to change our name to the United Socialist States of America?
