Biden: Freshman Sens. Cruz, Paul in control of Republican Party
The Hill ^ | June 15, 2013 | Ben Goad

EXCERPT

Biden called Cruz (R-Texas) and Paul (R-Ky.) “bright new guys,” but said they had views he had never before seen in Congress.

"They are the ones that control the Republican party right now, literally," he said. "I've never seen a time in all the years I was in the Senate that two freshmen have so much impact on the entirety of the Republican party."

"This is not your father's Republican party, it's fundamentally different," Biden told the crowd. "There's no one with whom to deal with and there's no one in charge anymore."

 He expressed optimism that Democrats could hold onto the Senate next year and pick up the 17 seats needed to wrest control of the House away from Republicans, whose conservative views, he said, are out of touch with the country.

"America has moved on, well beyond where these guys are," Biden said about the GOP. "If we keep the Senate and change 17 votes in the House, it'll be fundamentally different."

Until they side up with the gang of eight on illegal immigration, in which case it would be “inevitable” that they sell out, or are intimidated into compliance by their gop party masters.

We’re only 17 House Seats away from becoming the new Soviet Union. It’s a wonder I can sleep at night.

JoJo didn’t make a similar crack when the commies took control of the Democratic Party, I’ll wager.
