Joe the Plumber: "McCain appalled me"

Are you sure about this?
I'm dead certain. It was during an Obama photo-op(and that isn't an attack BTW) where the then candidate was touring around and asking the folks their opinions, Joe was playing football, the only thing I don't remember about the story was whether it was his children or neighbors involved, but he was asked if he wanted to ask Mr. Obama a question so he ponied up.
 
I think Joe the so-called plumber is just saying stupid **** because of his little book that's coming out.




:roll: Because it's only after the election and when his book is coming out, that McCain appalls him. But if you really want the details of how and why he appalled him, you have to wait until it comes out this month.
To be fair though, I endorsed McCain as well, but I don't exactly think he was the preferable republican candidate, some of his past votes in the senate definitely raised my ire, however I thought he was the best realistic choice in the race, this is probably the same sentiment that Joe the Plumber had as well.
 
Because this guy is probably just trying to sell his books and throwing McCain under the bus to do so. I just think it's bull**** considering he was going along with the ride while the ride was going, but only now when his book is coming out, is criticizing McCain. It's not that I care, I just find Joe appalling. Now, why do you care?

I'm more interested in Ashley Todd's book, Words that Start with "B." It comes with a set of dull cutting knives. :2razz:
 
Sarah Palin is the real deal. Such a real deal you guys went into rabid overdrive smearing her before she ever got out the starting gate.

Yes, "real" deal because she was "real"-ly stupid.
 
She gave more media interviews than any of the other candidates. Try again.
Huh? She still has never been on the Sunday morning shows because she's incapable of answering direct questions on the issues of the day without being prepped for a week in advance and even then it's obvious she's only repeating bull**** that she had to memorize.

How anyone could seriously believe that Palin is bright is beyond reason.

I too would welcome her on the GOP ticket in '12, PLEASE!
 
They hate Rummy, Cheney, and maybe even Bush. I don't go to DU. Maybe they do hate her. I don't see why. I can see being astonished that people support her, but not hate. You may be right.

Some abortion activists on both sides are nuts. She gave the perception that she is a dummy. She recited slogans and attacks and even acknowledged that she was refusing to answer questions.

I wouldn't fault someone for making that personal decision. I wouldn't tell them they should do that though.

The extremes can be disgusting.

Thank you, independent_thinker2002.

i think our extremists have completely lost it. You have to have a certain set of beliefs and nothing else is tolerated. And they believe everything they read that makes them feel good about being liberal or being conservative.

Amercanwoman My first impression of Palin's accent was Cameron Diaz. And I had no idea who Tina Fey was that everybody was comparing her to.
 
BTW - I see our ever-gracious liberal friends still are smearing Joe the Plunber, huh? Amazing.

I wonder if they stopped to think for a moment about the FACT that Joe the Plumber was unfairly targeted for political retribution when his privacy was invaded to protect Obama's campaign. Aren't these the sorts of tactics that our liberal friends normally attibute to Republicans being uniquely guilty of?

Yeah, no comment on this, huh?

Political cowards. They'll smear a women candidate as having faked the birth of her child, they'll silently accept the invasion of a private citizen's privacy so long as he ain't killing an unborn baby, but, my goodness, when you accurately cite an assocaition between their Messiah and a former terrorist, look out...we've committed the gravest political sin of all.

Pathetic.

Pathetic. Say, isn't it amazing how a non-American Muslim terrorist sympathizer was elected president?
 
Indeed they did
Palin: Is SA a country?: World: US Elections: News24


And had mcain died or resigned this women could have been the most powerful person in the world:doh

You need to get your news from more credible sources; the claim has long been debunked:

Palin Didn't Know Africa Was a Continent Source a Hoaxster

Turns out the most ridiculous and generic "dumb polack joke"-style accusation about the dimness of Sarah Palin's bulb--that she thought Africa was a country, not a continent--was probably from an interesting and amusing hoax advisor to the McCain campaign--from the nonexistent "Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy"--going by the phony name (which is also the real name of another minor D.C. policy dude, unrelated to the hoax nope, there is a minor policy dude named "Michael Eisenstadt") of "Martin Eisenstadt."

The New York Times has the details, including some earlier lies he had told (and been caught up on).

The front "Harding Institute" site, with the brilliantly conceived line: "Welcome to the homepage of The Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy. A Washington-area think-tank in the truest sense of the words...."

"Eisenstadt" on YouTube.

Just saw Joe the Plumber at the bank.

He says "Hi."
 
5/3 bank, here in Holland.

Oh, so you actually saw him. I thought you were saying it to make a statement like, "He's laughing all the way to the bank! Cha-Ching!!"

Yes -- in person, at the bank.

Though, he did seem to be in a good mood, so... :2razz:
