Joe Biden takes on Republicans Cruz and Paul

We now have a Congress that is good at DOING NOTHING and Cruz and Paul along with other new Teaparty members of Congress are the reason.  I am glad Biden called them out.

Biden said the "last thing" the country needs is a new senator who will back Cruz and Paul. 

“Think about this,” he said. “Have you ever seen a time when two freshman senators are able to cower the bulk of the Republican Party in the Senate? That is not hyperbole.” 

The vice president pointed specifically to the Senate's rejection of expanded background checks earlier this year. Biden said he reached out to 17 senators, including nine Republicans, ahead of the vote to urge them to support the measure. 

"Not one of offered an explanation on the merits of why they couldn’t vote for the background check," Biden said. "But almost to a person, they said, ‘I don’t want to take on Ted Cruz. I don’t want to take on Rand Paul. They’ll be in my district.’"
