Biden says Democratic victory in the midterm elections would 'stop the march of the tea party'

DAVENPORT,Iowa(AP) -- Campaigning in one of the nation's key U.S. Senate contests, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that keeping Democratic control of the chamber would "break the back of the hard right" and ease gridlock in Washington.

Biden said next week's choice between Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst for the open Senate seat in Iowa was critical to the outcome. If Braley wins and the Democrats maintain their majority, he said, the Republicans in Congress will be open to compromising with Democrats on issues such as raising the federal minimum wage.

"If that happens and it will, what's going to happen is it's going to break the back of the hard right," he said. "You are going to see many reasonable people in the Republican Party start to vote reasonably again. Not exactly like we do. But they are going to be open to the kind of compromise that's always allowed this nation to move forward."

Excellent! How do they respond when you tell them they did not build it? Or did they stop speaking to you?

Big Joe playing Davenport, IA and pontificating to a small crowd.

Sounds about right for his level of mentality.

They claim that Obama means the ability to collect revenue.

It becomes a stupid conversation in liberal circular logic.

I ask them of the gilded age. Blank stares

I go get another beer.

Turkey droppings have more to say. And at least they can fertilize your crops.
