Giuliani Responds to Biden‘s ’Chains’ Flap: I’ve Never Seen a VP Make as Many Mistakes, Say as Many Stupid Things

Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday told a group of voters in Virginia that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was “gonna’” put them all back in chains.
Unsurprisingly, the VP‘s hyperbolic rhetoric hasn’t gone over too well with the right-leaning community. Indeed, during a Tuesday broadcast of The Kudlow Report, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had nothing but scorn for the “chains” remark.
“You know, what did he say? ‘Y’all going to be put back in chains’? That almost has racial overtones, Rudy Giuliani. What’s your take on that?” CNBC’s Larry Kudlow asked the former mayor.
“Well, I think if it came from somebody serious maybe we’d get all excited about it. But the — I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean, he — I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things,” Giuliani responded.
“I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it. I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually he’s not very smart,” he added.

Posted on August 15, 2012 at 8:21amIt’s a God thing, Mitt choosing Paul Ryan. The Left were all “yeah, goody, oh goody, he picked Ryan, we’re gonna have a field day with that one”. Ha! Well since I first heard about it and thought about it and more and more good reasons for it came to my mind, I think it was a God thing. Divinely inspired as to who of God’s children could fill that vital role in the fight for the soul America. We still have to all do our part, but every where I look, I see people getting busy and doing all that they can. And one bonus: If this choice of Paul Ryan snatches Wisconsin from the jaws of Obama, it’s just like Mitt saying “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah! to Obama! Bwaaahaahhaaaahaaahaaa!

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 11:13pmGeorge Washington (a Federalist) was a very wealthy man. He was officially the First President. So money is not the going to hurt having it and being President. At least he should not feel compelled to steal. It is what is in the hearts of individuals that makes them evil. Abraham Lincoln, the first real Republican, was a poor man, he was one of the greatest Presidents as well. The heart is what determines how they will act and react, not their pocketbooks.

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 9:59pmDo any of you Blazers remember a short time back when Biden said he didn’t want a job so he went into politics? Well he is right about one thing, it is not a JOB, it is an elected office. So once you are voted out, there should be NO entitlements. No elite health care, no pay after leaving office with raises, etc. Maybe then we might get some true politicians who really want to do what is right for the country.

Pot would be legalized, the National Anthem would be changed to The Grateful Deads “Going to Hell in a Handbasket, but at least I’m Enjoying the ride”, Woodstock anniversary would replace the 4th of July, and Hairplugs would be covered by Obamacare. Air Force one would be repainted to dayglo tie-dyed colors and the facist right wing extremists, like the boy scouts, and VFW would be banned.
And of course the biggest change Biden would make, he would abolish the DoD, because, we should all make love, not war, MAN.

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 9:21pmAmerica, let’s restore economic sanity, limited government and adherence to our Constitution.
1. Register to Vote!
2. Demand Congress depose and prosecute Obama, along with his co-conspirators! Any politician or judge refusing this duty in violation of their oath of office, should also be regarded as a co-conspirator and similarly deposed or voted out of office!
3. Boycott mainstream media advertisers for enabling the worst cover-up in American history. Money talks, tell them why you’re buying from the competition!
Obama loathes our Constitutional republic and individual rights.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, … that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, … Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Declaration of Independence
Obama routinely omits ‘Creator’ when speaking of unalienable rights.
No ‘Creator’ = no unalienable rights!
Conservatives must stop omitting Art 2, Sec 1, of the Constitution when speaking of Obama!
“The usurper Obama is not eligible for multiple reasons:
1. Failure to be a “natural born citizen” as required by Article 2, Section 1.
2. Being born a British citizen pursuant to British Nationality Act of 1948.
3. Law enforcement investigators have concluded his birth certificate is fraudulent.”[1]

That’s an argument you can win no doubt. Trying to debunk something dumb like this birther issue let’s Obama get away and escape! He’s done it for the past three and a half years now!

You say “You are part of our team and quite frankly are making us look bad” and “Now I know you‘ll try to throw me under the bus saying I hate or disregard the Constitution … but I’m here to tell you your claims are false.”
Buchanan your reply is interesting in that it mirrors Glenn’s sentiments. The source of the “claims” was properly referenced so that all may see the truth for themselves. Had you availed yourself of these irrefutable facts, perhaps you would not hastily dismiss Obama’s Constitutional ineligibility in favor of focusing on “Obama’s track record on the economy.”
The issues are not mutually exclusive. Obviously Obama is vulnerable for creating insurmountable debt and massive unemployment. This is however a symptom of disregarding the Constitution.
Obama usurped the presidency by means of political, judicial and journalistic malfeasance. Ultimately, if self governance is to work, the citizens must ensure the Constitution is obeyed. It is the right, responsibility and civic duty of each citizen to safeguard their unalienable rights and precious individual liberty by being informed, vigilant and voting for proper political representation.
You disregard your duty to support and defend the Constitution at your own peril.

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 9:21pmNothing that Biden says is a mistake or a gaffe – every single word that Biden utters is carefully scripted and choreographed by ‘team obama’. All along, the plan has been to eliminate Biden before the election – and probably before the single VP debate on 10/11; the more stupid things he says, the more it becomes necessary to remove him from the equation. It is unlikely that Biden is smart enough to know what is coming, but, there is simply no way that he will be obama’s VP heading into November.
