[edit] July 2007
I think if a single vote on the budget in 2005 is included, then information on other votes regarding the budget should be included as well. I find it is often misleading to identify a single vote without explanation, as there may be components of the bill which outweigh the main benefit of it. Please note I am not implying this was Mr. Biden's reasoning in this case, but merely that more information, or perhaps more general information, might be more useful.
Also, I am placing a {{refimprove}} tag on the article since the only secondary source seems to be ontheissues.org. --Evil1987 13:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ARA?
What is the ARA mentioned in the Social security section? None of the articles linked on the disambiguation page pop out at me as making sense, and I can't find an answer on ontheissues.org. --Evil1987 13:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Some of the things written here are not from a neutral point of view (that Biden's rating by the CoC indicates an "anti-business voting record" - that depends on your point of view) or are phrased incorrectly (I doubt Biden "supports nuclear proliferation," which would indicate he wants more countries to have nuclear weapons).
[edit] Reflecting a ____ voting record on _____
Several of the entries for Mr. Biden's voting record end with an approval rating from some organization and the comment of it revealing a trend about his voting. The ARA, ACLU, etc., are simply organizations with their own opinions. Mr. Biden's deviations from the "approved" votes of those organizations simply shows a difference of opinion, not that he is for or against some group of people.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jersey72 (talk • contribs) 2007-08-07T18:14:37 (UCT).
