On Nov. 4, Joe Biden Could Become the Most Powerful Man in the World
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | October 6, 2014 | Joel B. Pollak

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Vice President Joe Biden is a complete idiot. That truth, reinforced by a string of recent foreign policy gaffes, is supported by evidence too great to summarize in one article. Suffice it to say that Uncle Joe's incompetence is stipulated by all political parties. He apparently believes he still has a shot to be President. There is no chance of that--but on Nov. 4, Biden could suddenly become the most powerful man in the U.S., and therefore the world.

That is because the fight for control of the U.S. Senate is shaping up to be far closer than it ought to be, in a year when President Barack Obama's approval rating hovers in the 30s and Democrats must defend several Senate seats in states won by Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Weak incumbent Kay Hagan is hanging on in North Carolina; in Kansas, of all places, a Democrat-leaning independent may unseat the GOP's Pat Roberts.

If Democrats can hang onto four toss-up seats, but no more than that, the Senate that emerges on Election Day will be deadlocked in a 50-50 split between Republicans and Democrats (including three independents that caucus with Democrats). According to the U.S. Constitution (Article 1, Section 3), the Vice President "shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided"--i.e. if there is a tie....

Is there a Jumpin Jim Jeffords type ready to restore a majority?

For Biden to make a difference, we have to have conservatives in the Senate. Since it seems like there's just a handful there, doesn't seem like Biden will make much difference. McCain will be eager to rush across the aisle and embrace the liberal agenda, as he always is.

So, I'll call this story what it is.. Putting lipstick on a pig. Might impress some, but Biden means absolutely nothing, like normal.

With this voter Id law in place why not fingerprinting voters like they do in Iraq?

I thought the one guy/weightlifter who can bench 1000 pounds was the most powerful man in the world. How much can Bin Biden bench?

Obama’s regime will be pulling all of the strings that control the puppet Joe Biden. Biden will have no say about anything.

Notice I said the Obama regime and not Obama himself. Because I believe Obama is also a puppet and is not calling any shots.

Really?

Right now there are 45 Republican Senators. Here is your job: Find me one Democrat who is more "conservative" than even the most liberal of those 45 Republicans.

You will find that you cannot do that. There is not even a single Democrat that we would like to trade for the worst of those 45 GOP Senators. Not one. Not even Mark Kirk who is as liberal as they come in the GOP. He is still better than anything the Dems have to offer.

Not voting for any Republican in this next election is a vote in favor of adding to the number of liberal, Democrat, Marxist scums in the U.S. Senate.

This may seem like a dumb question, but if it’s 50/50, who gets majority leader? And would’nt it actually be 50/47, Republican, considering the independents? So wouldn’t they get majority leader?

His name is Greg Orman from Kansas, and do not doubt for a moment he is already targeted and contacted by his fellow democrats and the folks at the NY Times.

In Minnesota, abandoned cars with premarked ballots in the trunk have already been pre positioned in strategic northwoods towns. Secretary of State Mark Ritchie just doing the bidding of Georgy Schwartz.

Gee, that sounds like trying to choose the least rotten apple in the barrel and still eating it.

Every dead Republican too, my dear mother, a life-long republican, rose from the dead to vote for Harry Reid.

Right you are! However, too many conservatives have a deal-breaker list. If a GOP candidate doesn't meet each and every criteria on the list, the GOP candidate is rejected and the conservative voter stays home.

Liberals have no such list. Talk to them...they really don't. They just vote for the most liberal candidate on the ballot, period. And that's how liberals win elections.
