He considers himself an Irish Catholic but supports abortion, his grandmother died around 1866 but was counted in the 1900 census ? He will be fit to run for President in 2016? I thought things were mixed up now. I guess I don't know when I am well off. Stupid for sure

Do any of you below ever, ever say anything good about anyone? What the heck did Joe Biden ever do to cause these nasty attacks. Whatever your politics are ,Joe Biden has worked most of his adult life in the service of his country. What have any of you done for anyone in your miserable lives?

Bythebay, lighten up would you please? If you lived in Ireland you would know that birth, baptismal and marriage documents are not that easy to obtain. Particularly in Mayo. Can't speak for Louth. Mayo, Armagh, Down, Leitrim and Sligo all have issues when it comes to proper record keeping. Church and State are very spotty particularly before 1850. It is totally hit or miss. No science involved. Some churches have records for every other decade. "Oh, those were destroyed in a fire" seems to be the most popular response. Often times the place of birth is from the British census and that document is not very helpful if you want to go beyond county.

Great example of voter fraud. Says Catherine Roche died in 1886 but was in the 1900 census. No wonder his ancestor was elected.

Finnegan and Roche "probably" born in Louth?? Come'on, Biden staffers, that's the best you can do?? Research is obviously not their forte which isn't surprising. No wonder he's such a dimwit.

The lineage may be accurate, but please President Obama keep that blithering moron away from Ireland. We have too many of the "home-grown" variety here already!
