Biden: Opposing senators ‘have seen the Lord’ on gun control
Washington Times ^ | May 10, 2013 | By Dave Boyer

Posted on 05/12/2013 9:18:22 PM PDT by Jet Jaguar

Vice President Joseph R. Biden said in a wide-ranging magazine interview that gun-control legislation will pass eventually because several senators who voted against it are experiencing a public backlash.

“To use the vernacular, there’s suddenly a lot of senators out there who have seen the Lord,” Mr. Biden told Rolling Stone magazine. “You find out that the senator from New Hampshire [Republican Kelly Ayotte] is in trouble; she voted no. I can name you four senators who called me and said, “Jesus, I guess you were right — maybe we can find some other way of doing this. Can we bring this back up?”

He said four senators who voted against expanded background checks of gun purchases in April have since approached him to say they’ve changed their minds.

In the hour-long interview, Mr. Biden also sounded like a candidate for the presidency in 2016, explaining at great length how much time he spends with President Obama on major decisions. He said he spends four or five hours each day with the president.

“It’s been a really good relationship, and everybody knows that — around here and around the world,” Mr. Biden said. “I speak for the president because of the relationship. And the only way that works is if you’re around all the time. Literally, every meeting he has, I’m in.”

God complex now Joe?

I'm trying hard to visualize this:

...gun-control legislation will pass eventually because several senators who voted against it are experiencing a public backlash.

Is it like this?:

Joe Q. Public: "How DARE you not vote to take our rights away! I'm going to campaign against you for someone who WILL take our rights away!"

Yes, they’ve seen the Lord, and he’s seen the Devil.

Big surprise...

I used to think he got hair plugs to resolve baldness.

Now I realize they were just put there to hold his withering brain in place.

He’s wishing this were the case. Several state senators from Colorado are about to GO DOWN in a recall, due to their gun-grabbing vote.

...and Dem that no switches to gun-grabbing side is ABSOLUTE TOAST, just due to being a wimp. The only thing worse than being on the wrong side of gun control is being on both sides (unless you move to side with more freedom).

Biden knows all this - it’s game over for him.

I doubt it's the Lord they're seeing. More likely it's you Joe peddling airports and bridges to senators and a whole alotta arm twisting.

Somehow with Benghazi warming up on deck, your "pitching" doesn't have the "heat" it used to have.

The only thing keeping Zer0 from impeachment is this idiot Biden. And with reelection, you would hear his idiot remarks for ten years. You know his fellow idiots, the trough jockeys would reelect him.

This is why Benghazi and the IRS fiasco are OK. Don’t watch the hand that’s moving.

This and the immigration bill. Yep.

Are their really Senators out there who don’t recognize Astro-turfing when they see it? He’s sending out his foot soldiers to harass them then playing the innocent. After the number of times these clowns have pulled the same stunt, it’s hard to believe pubbies aren’t on to it.

How on God’s green Earth did this drooling fool ever become Vice President? I mean, seriously, is there anyone on either side of the aisle who hears this blather and doesn’t wish that Slow Joe had a minder with a ball gag? If Mel Brooks were playing the part it wouldn’t be this bizarre because nobody would believe a court jester in motley with bells dangling from his cap, tittering about his direct line to God and simpering that the backsliders in the Senate can’t wait to board his little hand cart to political hell. Joe, some bad news - even Patty Murray is smarter than that, and they set her on the porch every night to get watered.

Then you have senators like Max Baucus of Montana and James Webb of Virginia choosing to drop out of politics because of their vote for ObamaCare.

When Biden speaks, I’m reminded of “Cactus” Jack Garner’s remarks about the VP slot and “a bucket of warm piss.”

The only thing keeping Zer0 from impeachment is this idiot Biden.

The presence of idiot Biden won't stop the House from filing Articles of Impeachment against Zero. If anything does it will be the lack of courage from Boehner that will stop impeachment. He's already hesitating and dithering on convening a select committee in the House with subpoena powers, which could be a first step toward filing.

What will keep Obama in Office is the Senate not voting to convict and remove, probably because 67 Senators would have to vote him guilty. Never happen with this Senate.

Still, it would be interesting to see how the vote would go with the Senate staring down the barrel at the 2014 election. The popcorn is standing by.
