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.

Sounds pretty Christian to me.

Hey Joe, Catholics aren't allowed to be pro-abortion. I didn't know followers of Moloch said the rosary...

Maybe Joe can borrow his beads from Uncle Ted,,might be a bit dusty...

I have it on good authority that Ted last saw his rosarys in July of 1969.I heard that the divers looked for them for hours but found nothing worth noting.

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

OK.

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

Now that Bill Bradley is no longer in the Senate, Joe Biden has inhereted his cloak as the dumbest man in the U.S. Senate.

About the only people Biden could connect with are morons like him, and those voters in Delaware who have sold their senses and votes for Senatorial favors from this nebish.

And therein lies your problem Senator. Your base is now the moonbat left, and the gag reflex following your shoving your rosary beads down their throats is going to be a mess.

That leads to the question...has anyone made inquiries to his priest or bishop about his "status" according to the statement made by "Il Pappa du Roma?"

Does that include a couple of Cardinals in the church that support making politicians responsible to their faith...if they choose to claim it?

Anyone know the names of the Cardinals, I'm not up on Catholic politics?

Rush had the soundbite yesterday. IT SHOULD BE HEARD BY ALL!

In fact, I think the bite should be posted on blogs far and wide---on lefty ones to show how ashamed the Rats are of their agenda and on righty ones to show how ashamed the Rats are of their agenda.
