There’s not much time left, but Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Watertown, N.Y., to try to build support for Democrat Bill Owens in the roller-coaster congressional contest in upstate New York.

“We’re not asking you to switch your party,” Biden said in an appeal to centrist Republicans who supported Dede Scozzafava, the GOP candidate who withdrew from the race on Saturday amid flagging poll numbers and criticism from prominent conservatives for being too liberal. “We’re just saying, join us in teaching a lesson to absolutists who come and tell us that no dissent is permitted within their own party.”

Mr. V.P., say that to the “Kos” dude.

[MamaLucci]

Oh, somebody's gonna get taught a lesson Joe.........

[Zeppo]

Um, didn’t we already do that by re-electing Joe Lieberman instead of electing Ned Lamont?

Could Joe Biden be any more clueless?

[SERKIT]

Sounds like old Slow Joe is getting wee-weed up, acting stupidly, demonstrating his jack-ass-ed-ness.

[muawiyah]

When I hear Joe Biden mouth off it sounds like another fascist rant.

Please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump. If you haven’t donated yet, please give it some thought.

Thank you!

Hey, Joey, how about we teach you democrats a lesson about health care and how we don't want it? Mmm, mmm, mmm. Yeah, I think we may just do that.

[Ronin]

I can just imagine the GOP voters in upstate NY falling all over themselves to do Biden’s bidding... NOT!!!

[BuckeyeTexan]

Biden castigates absolutists for not permitting dissent? Oh, Really?! Is he serious?

I don't think Joe knows the definition of "absolutist".

Quite true, but he does have organic brain damage.

I don’t know what excuse the other Bolsheviks have.

[Uncle Miltie]

Thank you, Dear Lord, for Joe Biden.

No matter what Biden has to say, we are going to teach these Lib RINOs and the GOP establishment that keeps picking these Lib RINOs a lesson.

Power does strange things to humans! Another reason that term limits are so important in this country...

[festusbanjo]

Freepers call on voters to bitchslap Biden.

When Biden and Gingrich and Steele sound alike, it is definitely third party time.

I did the old google trick.

Pro-life democrat = 23,500 hits

Pro-choice republican = 841,000 hits

Which is the party of “absolutists”?
