Biden: Republican Party is leaderless
By Molly K. Hooper - 03/23/13 03:38 PM ET


Vice President Joe Biden attacked the GOP as a leaderless party on Saturday afternoon at the third-annual House Democratic Issues Conference in New York City.

“There is no leadership,” Biden told a roomful of donors, prospective candidates and fellow elected Democratic leaders at the St. Regis Hotel at the finale of the three-day conference hosted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC.)

“There is nobody you can sit across the table from and shake hands, make a deal with," Biden said, noting five occasions in which House leaders reneged on agreements hours after shaking hands, calling him to say "what we agreed to Joe, we can’t do.”

“The reason this is so dysfunctional now – with whom do you make a deal? With whom do you speak to get something done? The problem is we have the tail wagging the dog in the Republican Party," Biden contended.

The outspoken vice president broached other issues of the day with the engaged audience - which included House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) - including the state of the Republican Party, the Affordable Heath Care Act, gun control, immigration reform and the economy.

1. Wrong, Joe. They've got the Koch's and a few other bosses.

2. maybe.....

the democrats/we need to work every dam day to make sure that the party stands for the people against the money class. we just got by this last election because the republican`s fielded two losers. if they had went more moderate it would have been a toss up.

the next election is just around the corner.....we have to take the house and keep the senate!

4. Yet they can still yank the short leash they have tethered to the DC DEMs.

5. They seem to be more successful since they've become leaderless.

They got the insane sequester installed and they block every single thing the Dems want to do.
They've even got Obama agreeing to cut SS and Medicare for them.

They are much more successful in achieving their goals, which is destroying the US government, than they were when they had leaders.
