Joe Biden on Family

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent … I'm not joking."

"I, too, believe there are natural rights that predate any written political or legal documents; we have these rights merely because we're children of God."

"Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

"No Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. No, we do not support that. Vice President Joe Biden in 2008 during VP debate is asked “if he and Barack Obama support Gay marriage.” Biden-Palin Vice Presidential debates, October 2, 2008"

"I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won't like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence,… And the reason why I add that parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed does not have anything to do with immigration as much as drugs. And let me tell you something folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico."

"I resent when they talk about families like mine that I grew up in. I resent the fact that they think we're talking about envy: it's job envy, it's wealthy envy; that we don't dream. My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, that I could be, I could be vice president! My mother and father believed that if my brother or sister wanted to be a millionaire, they could be a millionaire! My mother and father dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams! They don't get us! They don't get who we are!"
