Biden: Agenda would come to 'screeching halt' under GOP By Michael O'Brien - 09/28/10 03:17 PM ET
Vice President Biden renewed his warning on Tuesday that the administration's agenda would come to a "screeching halt" if Republicans win control of Congress.
Biden said he was right to warn that the administration's work would be scuttled if the GOP manages to pick up enough seats in this fall's elections to win back the House, or possibly, the Senate.
"If these guys win, and I got in trouble for saying this early in the campaign," Biden explained at a rally at Penn State University, "if the Republicans take back the House and Senate, our entire agenda will come to a screeching halt."
"I was right then and I'm right now," the vice president added. "They're being straightforward about it; they're not hiding the ball."
The warning by Biden is meant to underscore the administration's efforts to turn out voters to protect the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate in November. He was in Happy Valley to urge the first-time and young voters who propelled President Obama into office in 2008 to turn out again for this fall's elections. Obama will make a similar argument later today at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Former President Bill Clinton made a similar warning to Democrats on Tuesday in a fundraising request for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Democrats' campaign arm.
"There's a simple reason why I am planning to spend the next five weeks crisscrossing the country, campaigning as hard as I can for House Democrats," wrote the former Democratic president. "Everything that you and I have fought for since 2006 is on the line."
One of these days Joe Biden’s autobiography will be published.
Betting the title is: “I Told You “
Subtitle: “I Did Too”
Hey hey. Maybe “Bite Me” isn’t so clueless after all.
Vice President Biden renewed his warning on Tuesday that the administration’s agenda would come to a “screeching halt” if Republicans win control of Congress.
Exactly what does Biden think goal #1 of the tea party movement is?
Works for me!

This is a good thing, Joe Bite-me.
It’s like he’s the gift that keeps on giving.
"I was right then and I'm right now," the vice president added.
Hmmmmm...he isn't still talking about the past recovery summer??? :)
That’s the PLAN, Joe.
Man, that Joe Bite-me is swift! You can’t get one past him, no sir-eee.................
WOW! Joe finally got what it is we are GOING to do!
Good on ya Joe! I knew you would eventually figure it out!

Best news I've heard all day!!!
There have been multiple studys that show that young people, when it comes to voting, are most influenced by...their parents.
It’s really true. They get all this indoctrination at colleges; they flirt with many different ideas, but when the rubber hits the road they give more weight to their parents’ opinions than anything else.
Last election cycle their parents said “there really isn’t that much difference between the two parties.”
And what do you think their parents are telling them this election cycle? Maybe something like “I’m worried about my job and about loading you down with a pile of debt. We’ve got to do something to stop the Democrats.”
Hey Joe, BUCK UP! :-)
Why, yes, it certainly would, Joe.
We'd like our country back.
Deal with it, darlin.'
And have a lovely day.
