Biden: Pass the Jobs Bill or There’ll Be More Rapes and Murders

The vice president isn’t threatening to carry out these crimes himself if the Democrat-controlled Senate doesn’t pass the bill. Or at least, he doesn’t seem to be. Thank goodness, huh.

“In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city,” Biden said. “In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don’t rectify it.”

I wonder, is there a demonstrable correlation between economic plight and violent crime?

No, actually, there isn’t.

So is this one of those “pass the bill to find out what’s in it” things? Whatever is going on here, make sure your loins are duly girded.

    All this scare tactic crap and illogical logic is more than a little irritating. Do you think if we act like Detective Axel Foley in the movie Beverly Hills Cop, stick our fingers in our ears and say really loud “LaLaLaLa. I’m not listening to Joey but Joey is still talking to me! Stop talking!” that Biden will go away? No? Darn I just knew it was too much to hope for.

      Dude, it’s Joe Freaking Biden! Even libs don’t take him seriously.

    Joe Biden: My God how dumb can one be? I believed Obama chose good old Joe because good old Joe was not going to be an intellectual challenge to the president. As it turns out they are equally dumb. Love to know Obama’s grades.
    Joe’s comments are so stupid as to be beyond belief. The president’s mantra of tax and spend is equally idiotic. Look, anyone who holds that Marxism is the way to go is already a proven idiot and a fool. What is worse yet, a servant of Satan, the proof being the constant lies, the race baiting and fear mongering. I would love to say these men are idiot savants, you know generally stupid but really excellent at one thing but the problem is they are really good at just being stupid, a class all by itself.

      I don’t think Obama is so worried about his grades getting out as he is worried about the course titles. Communism 101; Practical Bombmaking 407R, with lab; Anarchist Chemistry 303, Sticking it to the ‘Man’ 505.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if he got all A’s. OK, I would be surprised.

      I once decided that if I ever formed a band, we’d call ourselves “The Slacking Bastards”. Who’da thunk that a President of the US would have stolen the name? Or, at least, the job description.

    Does this sound like the old protection racket to you, too? Pass this bill or we will withdraw police and fire protection from you. It would be a shame if your house burned down, now wouldn’t it?

    Gosh there Mr. Vice President, I thought that local police were the responsibility of the local government! What responsibility does the federal government have…NONE! My federal taxes should NOT be used to hire Flint, Michigan police!!

    This boob is a daily version, of screaming “fire’ in a movie theater. Since that action is not protected by the First Amendment, how does Biden get a pass?

    I wish top Democrats would stop exhibiting such confidence in the good judgement of Americans and sucking up to us with this kind of over-the-top flattering language. It get embarrassing after a while.
