Biden claims Al Gore won in 2000;admires Gore for nothing

Vice President Joe Biden

Vice President Joe Biden knows how to work a room.

In remarks made on Tuesday night at a fundraiser for Massachusetts Senate candidate Ed Markey in front of an audience of donating (doting?) Democrats, Biden went for the jugular.

In a reference to Al Gore, who introduced Biden at the Washington, D.C., event, Biden said, "This man was elected president of the United States of America," according to the pool report.

"But for the good of the nation, when the bad decision, in my view, was made, he did the right thing for the nation," Biden continued.

The Supreme Court decided the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush, a decision accepted by former Vice President Gore. But the election left a deep wound in the Democratic Party, one that Biden was happy to pour salt in Tuesday as he sought to drum up cash as well as energy for Markey.

"I’ve served longer than all but 13 members of the United States Senate. I can’t think of very many who would put his country first like that at a really, really, really difficult time. There’s an awful lot of folks Al and I both know who have run for president and still haven’t gotten over it," Biden said.

“Al, you set an example for this country that is going to live as long as recorded history, about the man who won by a decision that I think constitutional scholars now and in the future will conclude was an ill-fated decision,” Biden said. “The way you stepped up, it was amazing.”

Democrats are eager to elect Markey later this month to succeed John Kerry, who was appointed secretary of state, and avoid a repeat of 2010. That year, Republican Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate special election, embarrassing Democrats with a stunning upset in the traditionally Democratic-leaning state.

Biden played on those feelings on Tuesday night by attacking well-known outspoken freshman Republicans in the senate—the ones that really get Democrats' hackles up.

“It’s a pretty simple proposition: The United States of America, and the state of Massachusetts, does not need another Republican in the Senate,” Biden said, also according to the pool report. “I’m being straight about this. This is not your father’s Republican Party. It really is a fundamentally different party. There’s never been as much distance, at least since I’ve been alive, distance between where the mainstream of the Republican congressional party is and the Democratic Party is. It’s a chasm. It’s a gigantic chasm.

“I’m not talking about the character or even the quality of the minds of the people I’m going to mention. But the last thing in the world we need now is someone who will go down to the United States Senate and support [Texas freshman Sen.] Ted Cruz, support the new senator from Kentucky—or the old senator from Kentucky," Biden said, referring to freshman Sen. Rand Paul and veteran Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“Think about this,” he said. “Have you ever seen a time when two freshman senators are able to cower the bulk of the Republican Party in the Senate? That is not hyperbole.”

President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak on Wednesday at an event for Markey in Roxbury Crossing, Mass.

I think I just ejaculated. It is pure bliss knowing Biden hates us,that this accursed administration hates us. I understand his hatred of Senator Rand Paul considering Senator Paul's lawsuit may end up with criminal charges being filed that may land Biden's ass in prison. If that happens I hope a lot of guys who were fucked over by VAWA have a "discussion" with Biden on their stance on the issue. If this happens he will have no choice but to listen to men's side of the arguement. )-)

Most important thank you to Senator Paul,Senator Cruz and Senator Lee in helping to restore the American people's trust in their government. The only way We The People will see any justice is if these three men (there may be more libertarians elected in 2014 thus increasing the numbers)keep up the pressure on the rats that subverted and perverted the Constitution. Thank you also to Senator Mitch McConnell for voting against unconstitutional laws such as VAWA and working closely with Senator Paul as he gives this nation back to the people.

Tell your Senators to defend the filibuster by opposing Harry Reid

From Campaign For Liberty:

When the Senate reconvenes on January 22, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to launch an all-out war on the Senate filibuster.

And he's willing to flat-out break Senate rules and longstanding traditions to achieve his goal.

If the statists in Washington, D.C. get their way, they'll be able to ram their entire Big Government agenda through the Senate.

That's why it's vital you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form to your U.S. Senators demanding they vote against Harry Reid's attempt to destroy the Senate filibuster.

Of course, as with virtually all parliamentary bodies, the Senate's rules can be changed or amended.

But changing the rules requires 67 votes - or a two-thirds majority of the Senate.

Unfortunately, Harry Reid doesn't care about the rules, and he's scheming to abolish the Senate filibuster with just 51 votes - or a simple majority.

Should he succeed, the statists in Washington will have the unchecked ability to push through their entire Big Government agenda.

And the really bad news is, according to inside sources, Senator Reid believes he has 51 Senators willing to break the rules with him to destroy the filibuster.

That's why it's critical you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY.

You see, the Senate filibuster has been an indispensable tool in stopping some of the worst of the statists' Big Government power grabs over the years.

When Al Gore's radical environmentalist pals in Congress attempted to ram through "Cap and Tax," it was the Senate filibuster that stopped them - preventing this disastrous scheme from destroying our economy.

When Big Labor's allies tried to ram through the union bosses' Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, it was the Senate filibuster that stopped them - saving secret-ballot elections for union organizing.

When the anti-gun crowd attempted to renew the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" back in 2005, it was the Senate filibuster that prevented its renewal.

And when the statists wanted to make sure they could get easy access to the names and addresses of those who opposed their schemes, the Senate filibuster allowed us to beat the so-called "Disclose" Act.

Without the ability to filibuster, the statists will be able to ram through gun control, tax hikes, massive spending increases, and virtually anything else they can dream up.

That's why it's vital you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY!

Together, you and I can stop Harry Reid from destroying the Senate filibuster.

Sounds good. I'm not a big fan of runaway government so if this makes it more accountable then I'm in. I don't like the idea of my rights being stampeded by statists. If you feel the same way then sign the authorization form.
