"If I'm the nominee, Republicans will be sorry," said Biden, a Roman Catholic who ran for president in 1988. "The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."

Biden said that in most cases, Democrats have themselves to blame for losing in so-called red states such as Kentucky and Ohio.

"We have put up too many candidates who can't connect with middle-class Americans," he said. "In the last two (presidential elections), the Democratic Party has lost its base, the middle-class votes. ... And we have played into the hands of the Republicans. We've allowed so-called social issues to be so divisive."

State Sen. Julian Carroll, a Frankfort Democrat and former governor, agreed. He said the party has to seek out the voters it is losing to Republican candidates.

"If we define who we are, the middle class will vote Democratic again," Carroll said.

""If we define who we are, the middle class will vote Democratic again," Carroll said."

Hmm let me take a crack at it: more taxes, racism, hate, no school choice, abortion, weak defense,homsexual marriage, open borders.

I could go on but thats enough. Yeah thats the party I think that the middle class would go for (sarcasm).

I have moderate safe search on my computer, but even I know better than to google any phrase that contains the words "shove + throat."

"The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."

If you value your life, don’t call him “unclear on the concept.”

I found the Cardinal who wrote about denying communion to policitians that support abortion:

On the question of Communion for Catholic politicians, Cardinal Ratzinger outlined a process of pastoral guidance and correction for politicians who consistently promote legal abortion and euthanasia. That process could extend to a warning against taking Communion, and in the case of "obstinate persistence" by the politician, the minister "must refuse to distribute" Communion, he said.

Now I know this only a Cardinal, it's not like he's the Pope or anything...

Right Joe?

Wonder how many Hail Marys that would rack up?

Joe, have you forgotten about Hillary? She'll take your rosary beads and stick them up your rear end.

I'd return the favor and shove em up your arse Joe, but that would be sacrilegious.

[Gerish]

Oh Joe, we all know that you don't even own a pair of rosary beads........you discarded those a long time ago.

[demkicker]

I'll second that prediction!

[frogjerk]

A Catholic may have to tolerate abortion, but you cannot actively support it.

A Catholic cannot tolerate abortion either.

Caption time!

[tkathy]

Endless racial demagoguery doesn't help the dems either.

[capebuffalo]

Carrying rosary beads doesn't make him a practicing Catholic, let alone insure the likes of him getting into heaven

Catholics, like Biden , Kennedy, Kerry are a disgrace to their religion. They should all be excommunicated.

I'm thinking he didn't glance at his "What Would Jesus Do" bracelet before he said this.

"We have put up too many candidates who can't connect with middle-class Americans," he said.

This is true...they keep putting out democrat candidates.

[adgirl]

Perhaps if the Senator used his rosary beads to pray in front of abortion clinics like some of us other Catholics do, instead of shoving them down the throats of Republicans who dare to challenge his religiosity, his claims about being "religious" would be easier to swallow.
