Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged it wasn't a political event, but it still didn't prevent him from sending this warning to Teamsters union members during his address at their annual convention in Las Vegas this past Friday.

"And don't any of you, by the way, any of you guys vote Republican," Biden said. "I'm not supposed to say, this isn't political. ...don't come to me if you do! You're on your own, Jack!"

Biden provided the closing address at the 28th Annual International Brotherhood of Teamsters Convention at the Paris Hotel on Friday.

Well, now, that’s what I thought (slightly different wording). Why would any website discourage the posting of a link to their site? Now, no excerpting I can understand.

That seems odd.

Thanks, mark.

[You’re on your own, Jack!]

Hey, Joebedo, why don’t you walk into the nearest ‘social club’ and tell that face to face to the people who run the unions?

[LMAO]

What kind of nation have we become when we willingly elect people who think we should have to “go to them” for help?

[Westbrook]

> any of you guys vote Republican,” Biden said... “don’t
> come to me if you do! You’re on your own, Jack!”

This is America, “Jack”.

We LIKE being on our own, “Jack”.

It’s called, LIBERTY, “Jack”.

So take your smarmy, collectivist-statist-totalitarian threats and shove-off, JERK!

Biden tells Teamsters don't vote Pubbie or you're on your own. That's really smart to say to a mob-run union, considering that Hoffa was indirectly behind the assassination of JFK. Yeah, real smart.

This threat is probably related to the Teamsters wanting the ANWR drilling to commence, and they're also probably smarting about the other drilling restrictions imposed by dictator Zero.

Thanks NTHockey.

I’m with you on that Westbrook.

Well said.

We always knew he was a wind bag and prone to stupidity; but a direct threat crosses that imaginary line into criminal activity
..........................................................
The only thing criminal here is that this fool is Vice President of the United States,but that is trumped by us having a Muslim Racist president.

America is lost if these two return in 2012.

[Plutarch]

Imagine if this were a Republican, e.g. Cheney.

[abclily]

Biden is VP, because his son took care of Larry Sinclair for Obomba.

[Vaduz]

Joe Biden another one of D.C. finest.You get what you vote for.

[takenoprisoner]

...don't come to me if you do! You're on your own, Jack!"

Joe Biden definition:

1. elitist imbecile
2. manical lunatic
3. demonically dangerous

Biden made a direct threat: "And don't any of you guys vote Republican".....

ROTFLOL----reminds me when Obama told latinos not to vote for their enemies (Repubs) at Midterms.

How'd that turn out for 'em, eh? ROTFLOL.

[Theodore R.]

Imagine what the people of DE believe in.
