We`ll have to refer this to the Why the GOP is unraveling. thread. Back on topic... It`s more like Joe the plumber was using McCain ,not the other was around.Joe errrr Sam, is a buffoon.The worst insult to intelligence was when "Joe`s" critics were called elitists for pointing out he was a fake.Joe was supposed to be "every man",joe-sixpack,the little guy,etc. News flash,the little guy doesn`t have a publicist!

Bullshit, Sheehan's beef was the product of the anti-war crowd, she had her meeting with Bush, and wasn't satisfied, and the anti's jumped on her bandwagon, until she became yesterday's news. Joe did the same damn thing Cindy did, got his 15 seconds, and decided it wasn't enough, and the anti Obama's jumped on his bandwagon, until he became yesterday's news.

quote: ORIGINAL: CruelNUnsual She lost her son to a just and necessary war No, see a just war would be one where we were actually provoked or attacked, not one where, under the "Bush doctrine", we attacked pre-emptively. And a necessary war would be one where there was an actual threat, where there were actual weapons, as opposed to "weapons programs" (George W. Bush, State of the Union Address). Nice try, but fortunately there are those of us that can read, and listen to sources other than FoxNews. It is indeed laughable that there are those still trying to defend Bush's unjust and unnecessary travesty.

If Sheehan was an example of anything, it was of the rights willingness to "swiftboat" anyone... other candidates, 12 year olds who were helped by S-Chip, or mothers who lost their sons to a war that never had any real reason to exist. Meanwhile, they continued to beat the drum and tell us all to "support the troops"... all while cutting their benefits, and to this day not pay for the body armor so desperately needed.

The left has been in charge of the checkbook for the last 2.5 years, yet it's still the right's fault....gotcha.

Who`s been in charge of procurement for the last 8 years? There was no lack of money to buy the armor sets. Just a complete lack of leadership to do so. I remember when this 1st came up,the republicans chimed back that John Kerry had voted against funding our troops.Saying that Kerry was the reason that our men and women didn`t have the proper armor.But that funding bill did pass and still there was no armor.There was always money available.The amount of lives and damage that could have been saved is incalculable.A true tragedy. That moms were doing bake sales to buy their sons body armor is beyond embarrassing.Heads should have rolled on that one but dick and donald have no shame,do they? Plenty of money for Blackwater and KBR though.No lack of money for Haliburton and friends. Another example of republicans abusing our soldiers and passing(trying to) the blame. Shameful. And you guys think you`ll win the next election?Like none of that happened? lol

Nah, ya see, 'turning on him' means someone supported him before, but now doesn't. ('turn', geddit?) Mars, on the other hand, is just speaking the truth most of us learned in the weeks right after McCain pimped out Sam the Plumber. Might want to brush up on colloquial phrases before trying to attack somebody with one of them.

For thishereboi,the subject isn`t relevant to the discussion. For him,we are the subject. Other than commenting on members,there`s not much else,there.

thishereboi -> RE: Joe the "plumber" leaving the GOP (5/11/2009 7:40:38 AM)
Well then I guess it's a good thing I have Owner on these threads. She always tries to keep me on topic. Good thing her posts are always spot on.

Will Joe go through the chute though, with this large bald head of his? Watch this space.

"And" is a conjunction that allows for more than one noun to be the subject, it does not necessarily put them "in the same bag". I have no clue what revisionism you may be talking about. You dont need me to post links to the numerous resolutions that were violated, google them yourself.

Yes, but we're still waiting for you find the link about us being attacked by Iraq.

You also don't seem to be able to find any links to back anything in your last post. Unless you found them and read them and just want everyone to take your word for it.

Uh, it wasn't Joe Wilson who discovered the falsified documents, it was our own CIA and the Italian Military Intelligence agency. The Bush administration later conceded (after Bush's fuckup in his State of the Union speech) that he never should have made that claim about uranium from Africa. You still wanna stick with that "moved the WMD's to Syria" stuff too? [8\|] quote: quote: Nice try, but fortunately there are those of us that can read, and listen to sources other than FoxNews.
