Sen. Biden stumps in Kentucky (Biden:"I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throats")

"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.

As a great freeper says "Abortion is to family planning as bankruptcy is to financial planning"

What idiot said that?

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

They are all excommunicated ipso facto by the very fact they support abortion through their very actions as representatives.

Biden, the most crass, rude, disgusting, loud mouthed, "thinks he's a tough guy" pompous ass out there.
Hey Biden...we don't shove rosaries down someones throat. We pray with them. I as a Catholic take offense at that and as a TRUE Catholic you should be ashamed of what you just said. You are a true disgrace and how religious CAN you be to say something so sacriligeous? But..don't worry. you won't be a nomineee. You don't have the brains nor the polish. You are crude,rude, tasteless and lac kmanners. Besides, I am sick and tired of your cursing when sitting on a panel during hearings. Stop with the mouth. If you can't get attention any other way then leave the committee but stop grandstanding with the tough guy cursing pompous ass attitude.

Dear Joe,

I think you're very religious, however, there is no correspondence between being 'Religious' and being a 'spiritually regenerated Christian'. You're not a Christian, Joe, you're a spiritual degenerate.

Anybody that is pro-choice in regards to baby shredding is not spiritually regenerated. Baby shredding is of Satan.

Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots like Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, Howard Dean et al!

Gay marriage divisive? Now, that was a shocker.

Liberal Catholics are in the same mold as Liberal Protestants & Jews. Somewhere along the line, their wires got twisted. As for Biden, if he has to try to convince the elecorate he is a good practicing Catholic, then I would question that.

Not very Catholic of you Joe, but then again you support baby murder and the virulently anti-Chrisian ACLU.

You're not "religious", Joe. You're simply crazy!

If the Dems could ever find a non-insane person for their national leader, they might do a little better. Dean, Gore, Biden, Kennedy, Pelosi...

The problem is, their base on the left will not accept a sane person as their leader. That's a big problem lol.

. He said the party has to seek out the voters it is losing to Republican candidates

The problem is, to do that, they will have to disavow their association with much of their radical rabid, nutball base. Middle Class, Middle American Voters are not going to embrace gay marriage, transgender rights, NAMBLA in the Boy Scouts... The dems are in a NO WIN situation.

They have allowed their party to be taken over by small, loud rabid groups that don't represent what the vast majority believe in. To try to attract middle america they have to cut off large portions of what is now their "base"... and to do that would require the Dems to accept large defeats for several cycles while they purge their party... unfortunately though, they won't do that.... so they will continue to embrace the absurd, while trying to play the middle... and they will fail and alienate generations of voters as well.

The dems want to win elections again at the national level they MUST purge their party of the socialist/communist nutballs that make up their rabid base. However to do that, they will have to endure short term pain, perhaps a decade.. where they will lose elections no doubt as they attempt to reestablish the party with folks from the more main stream ideas.... However they don't want that.. so they continue on this rabid track, and they are alienating entire generations of Voters in the process.
