(Reuters) - Vice President Joseph Biden assured Democratic Party leaders on Friday they would retain control of Congress in November elections with the unwitting help of Republicans, who he said had lost touch with Americans.

At a meeting of the Democratic National Committee, Biden said voters would begin to focus on the election in the next few weeks and would not like the rehash of failed Bush administration policies pushed by Republicans.

Obiden was listed as the dumbest man in the Senate for a good reason.

If that is what the Republicans end up doing then Biden is absolutely correct:

the rehash of failed Bush administration policies pushed by Republicans.

Long-term, if the new batch of Congressional Republicans become just like leftist Democrats, then Joe Biden will be correct!

You know, I wonder just how it is that each and every RAT that occupies our White House is always proclaimed as “The Smartest Man to ever walk the Earth”.

Just watch....if Stroker leaves office for any reason.... and Obiden takes over, he will become smarter than Einstein in a New York minute.

“It’s going to be a battle,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said of the elections. “We’re going to win it on the streets like we won it in 2008 on the streets.”

Of course, if that doesn’t work, we can always find a few thousand dead voters.

Yessir Joe, Americans don’t want 5% unemployment, a strong military, international respect, fewer regulations, more energy, and sleeping well at night.

There’s no way anyone would want to go back to that.

I can only laugh at these same comments coming out of Democrats of recent..however, both parties lost touch with American taxpayers. The democrats just happen to be in the party in power..so they get voted out first.

Difficult to believe what comes out of the mouths of any politician these days...who IS for real?

It’s pretty obvious that the first string QB didn’t want a capable backup on the bench. If the backup were capable, then it would be too tempting to bench the starter.

That is the rub. When I listen for the so called GOP leadership to speak out on cutting federal programs and spending to balance the budget, I hear only crickets. So I guess the option of a slower death is preferable to the head long plunge.

Biden seems to think of himself as a rock star. I caught the cell phone pics being taken in the limo with the White House Photographer and sent to the photographer's wife and friends present...Biden had a day of photo shoots, wearing shades, lolled back as "The Man"...and the caption was Biden- The Rock Star.

Out of touch with reality? much?

Unfortunately for America,he is probably correct. Those depending on the government for their support now outnumber those that don’t. By 2012 the ratio will be worse.

“who he said had lost touch with Americans.”

I almost literally laughed out loud at that one!

Yeah, right. It's just like when the Democrats had the phones ringing off the hooks with citizens saying that we DON”T WANT YOUR FECAL HEALTHCARE BILL and you Dems went ahead and shoved it down our throats....that kind of ‘out of touch?’.....is it kind of like that Joe? Joey? Bubala?

He'll become even smarter than Bill Maher thinks he is. And that's quite a stretch!

Maher’s IQ according to Maher’s inner voices…at least 9500-10,000

Maher’s actual IQ: 43-62
