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.

LOL!!!

Unlike you, I was a Delawarean by choice and now a Virginian by choice. But yes this is just another reason I'm glad he is no longer the Senator from my place of residence - he WAS never MY Senator :)

HA!

It would look more natural if he would drill his holes in a random fashion and use a smaller drill bit.

My second thought was isn't threatening someone with rosary beads hate speach? But then I decided no not for a lib, using them for their intended purpose for prayer, especially outside an abortion clinic is hate speech.

>> "I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."

A true, practicing, believing Catholic -- who faithfully prays the Rosary and believes in its promises -- would choose to be forever silent rather than ever uttering a horrendous, disrespectful sentence like that.

But Joe, Joe, Joe . . . you're pro-abortion. Ernest prayer and even sacraments while mindful of ongoing mortal sin is a grave error. You are mocking God, and He will NOT be mocked.

Big talk with a straw man at it's center. I'd bet that no Republican ever said Biden wasn't religious.

Joining you Petronski:

Joe your Christian faith is a farce. The Bible says will shall know a tree by its fruits and your fruit looks like rotten decaying apples to me. It also says not everyone who says Lord, Lord shall enter My kingdom but those who obey my father in heaven. Joe no one can lie and slander people like you do and be pro abortion like you are and be in obedience to the commands of God. You are a leftist Pharisee Joe and mock God.

You can't be a Christian period and be pro abortion.

We've allowed so-called social issues to be so divisive."

You've allowed them to be so divisive? Like you had any power over it? Hell, the issues ARE divisive.

Stay off the wrong side of divisive issues, or quit bitching.

"If I'm the nominee, Republicans will be sorry."

Wrong again, Joe. LOL

My employer, the Grand Knight of the local K of C is from a proud Polish family with roots in KY. Biden's managed to offend even the most liberal of Catholics in KY.

I beleive his next campaign stop will be a "Bald is Beautiful" convention where he will threaten to ram his hair plugs down the throat of anyone who says he isn't bald enough...
