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

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.”

Senators are asking the VP if they can bring legislation back up? As if they don't know the Senate rules? Yup, Biden is lying.

I think this is what crazy Joe was thinking worked. Meeting with the faith leaders last week.

In his little pea brain, we cling to our guns and our bibles. Get the Preacher to speak against guns and they win.

Not so Joe.

Did they REALLY call Biden "Jesus"?
Really, Joe - you are just so pathetic. And you've never been right on ANYTHING.

They are desperate for it to pass the Senate and get to the house where it will die. All this was about 2014.

They don’t care if the bill becomes law, they want to be able to say the “evil Republicans” blocked the bill and hope that more dead children happen.

Joe is communicating to the world that elites are scared sh*tless. Visions of their NWO buddies hanging from lampposts in Libya during the civil war gives them nightmares. Even their elite mercenary forces paid to protect the elites in Libya were either killed or never heard from again.

Tell your elite buddies to sleep fitfully and with an eye open, Joe.

Sounds like those Senators dialed the wrong number. That’s what happen when you have both Wayne LaPierre and Biden on your speed dial.

Look for any new gun control law to be struck down in the courts.

What’d they do, make them an offer they couldn’t refuse?

Go HERE and print out page 1 of the 4473 form (2005 version).

Send it to your pol if you think he's squishy and ask him why he wants you to fill out this intrusive form in order to sell to a neighbor or friend (as if you would). He probably won't see it but his staff will, and perhaps open up a few eyes.

Carry a copy with you and ask the next pro-check guy you talk to to fill it out and see if the scales from his eyes.
