Biden: Agenda would come to 'screeching halt' under GOP By Michael O'Brien - 09/28/10 03:17 PM ET
Vice President Biden renewed his warning on Tuesday that the administration's agenda would come to a "screeching halt" if Republicans win control of Congress.
Biden said he was right to warn that the administration's work would be scuttled if the GOP manages to pick up enough seats in this fall's elections to win back the House, or possibly, the Senate.
"If these guys win, and I got in trouble for saying this early in the campaign," Biden explained at a rally at Penn State University, "if the Republicans take back the House and Senate, our entire agenda will come to a screeching halt."
"I was right then and I'm right now," the vice president added. "They're being straightforward about it; they're not hiding the ball."
The warning by Biden is meant to underscore the administration's efforts to turn out voters to protect the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate in November. He was in Happy Valley to urge the first-time and young voters who propelled President Obama into office in 2008 to turn out again for this fall's elections. Obama will make a similar argument later today at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Former President Bill Clinton made a similar warning to Democrats on Tuesday in a fundraising request for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Democrats' campaign arm.
"There's a simple reason why I am planning to spend the next five weeks crisscrossing the country, campaigning as hard as I can for House Democrats," wrote the former Democratic president. "Everything that you and I have fought for since 2006 is on the line."
You bet Joe and that is exactly what a majority of the voters are voting for.
If we can end the Marxist takeover of America, it’s good.
Stand up Joe, God love ya!
I sure hope it does!
Sure is nice of the vice resident to campaign on behalf of the GOP candidates.
Is that a promise, Joe?
DUH Joe, that’s the whole idea
A “screeching halt” isn’t what I want. We desperately need reverse and full throttle.
Who said Joe Biden wasn’t a rocket scientist? Shoosh, spot on Joe. I wonder if he will allow Republicans to use his quote?
Thanks for the free pro-Consitutionalist advertising, Joe!
That’s the whole point, ya moron.
From your lips to God’s ears, Plugs.
Memo to Joe:
We don’t want to stop it, we want to REVERSE it.
“If these guys win, and I got in trouble for saying this early in the campaign,” Biden explained at a rally at Penn State University, “if the Republicans take back the House and Senate, our entire agenda will come to a screeching halt.”
DUH....do ya think???????????????????????????
Dear Joe,
That’s exactly the plan you mouth breathing moron.
Nothing But Love,
L
You promise?!?
(Actually, it will get accelerated during the Lame Duck session. Don’t expect these idiots to go quietly.)
One can only hope Joe
Whoopie!!!
What’s your point “Plugs”?
