Vice President Biden said Thursday the conservative Tea Party movement might be "the best thing to happen" to Democrats with the midterm elections approaching.
Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Chevy Chase, Md., for Sen. Barbara Mikulski, said that the energy of the Tea Party might inspire a lethargic Democratic base to turn out and vote in November.
“May be the best thing to happen to us lately is the Tea Party wins," Biden said. "Maybe it’ll shake some of our constituency out of their lethargy.”
The vice president also offered a "guarantee" that Democrats will defy predictions and maintain control of the House.
“I guarantee you we’re going to have a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate. I absolutely believe that,” Biden said.
The vice president conceded that voters are "angry against whoever is in power," but he said that Democrats “have a heck of a record, a heck of a positive record to run on."

Well..it could. So far though it hasn't. There is no sign it will. Besides the "Dem base" is not what got Obama elected. The Dem base votes for whoever the nominee is. It's the moderates and independents that got Obama elected and they have learned the error of their ways.
There is a pony in there somewhere.
Drink it up Biden and keep talking. You’re stiring up more Conservatives to go vote than you know
That guarantee’s worth about as much as any other statement that has ever come out of Lyin’ Biden’s mouth.
Yep! Should motivate the RATs to jump off the nearest cliff.
Yeah, the TEA Party has motivated them. I betcha.
The Main Moocher base of the Democrats is not buying it. They see trillions of Obama Bucks going to the rich bankers and unions. No scraps for the Moochers. The poor Moocher base of the Crats is not motivated and are laying down on their job. Their job is just to vote Democrat every two years for more Freebies. What have they done to help out the lazy moochers? They wanted to have a million moocher march but found out nobody could afford to come.
....once again Crash Biden inserts foot and chews vigorously.
he he he
It looks like it, the Rats will have to change snake oil salesmen for the next election, but they got plenty of 'em.
Gee thanks for bringing this to our attention! Maybe we all just better shut up and stay home on election day.
What a dumb ass!
Hey, do I get sent out of the country forever for calling the V.P. (third in line to the presidency) a prick?
but he said that Democrats “have a heck of a record, a heck of a positive record to run on."
Hmmmmmmmm......
Yet...not one Dem is running on their vote for Obamacare,
Yet...not one Dem is running on their support for the Stimulous Bill
Yet...not one Dem is running for the passage of Cap & Trade
Yet...not one Dem is gloating about their action in the GM/Chrysler takeover
Yet...not one Dem is actively campaigning WITH Obama
Yet...not one Dem is calling attention to the UN Global Tax
Yet...not one DEM is calling for real unemployment figures vs the present scam 9.6%
Yet ...not one Dem is citing their control of the House/Senate since Jan 2007
Just how deep do those plugs go into your head, Joe?
Those hair plugs are really impacting his cognitive functions.
The creative Democrats have gone beyond tea bagging these days.
I wonder when the Democrat/commie spin machine will say that the tea party people called themselves a swear word as these spin artists claim the term tea bagging originated with the tea partiers (it actually originated with CNN).
Hey, Joe, are you second in line for something?
What a maroon.
All evidence to the contrary.
