Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[MDS]

When you're Wilmington trash, you can't understand that.

[rjs246]

Jesus please shut the farg up.

Eat me, boston fag.

Your eloquence is breathtaking, smart stuff.

As is your various array of "die" and "stfu" comments. IT NEVER GETS OLD!

Actually, you're the only one I say either of those things to any more.

The attack is two-pronged, you see:
- On the one hand, I am actually hoping that you die. Or, at the very least, shut the farg up.
- On the other hand, I'm hoping that the repetition will bore you into going away. Or, at the very least, dying.

Either way, I win.

When you're Wilmington trash, you can't understand that.

This is true.  I did play rugby once in Wilmington and proceeded to get so shtein faced I had to stay overnight in my car to sleep it off.  The same cannot be said for North Philly.

Just when you didn't think things could get worse for John McCain -- they go in the toilet.

Literally.

So, you remember Joe the Plumber, who John McCain kept relentlessly bringing up. And up. The apparently undecided plumber who had complained to Barack Obama that he couldn't buy his own plumbing company because he'd have to pay 3% more in taxes. The plumber who John McCain lauded as an Everyman while oddly proclaiming "Congratulations! You're rich!" in the midst of a disastrous recession. The fellow who said that Barack Obama "tap dances better than Sammy Davis Jr."

That guy.

Well, it turns out he's the one gliding around the dance floor so much, you should expect to see him soon on "Dancing with the Stars."

You see, Joe Wurzelbacher is apparently related to Robert Wurzelbacher. Who is the son-in-law of (are you ready...?) Charles Keating!

Yes, that Charles Keating. The Charles Keating of the Keating 5 Scandal. For which John McCain was reprimanded by the United States Senate, for his involvement in attempting to illegally influence government regulators. The Charles Keating who John McCain has been trying to avoid have mentioned. So, he basically mentioned it 24 times.

(By the way, lost in all the attention paid to John McCain not getting the same career-ending censure by the Senate, as did the other four defendants - the reason for that is because he'd been in the House of Representatives at the time of his transgression. The Senate decided that they didn't have jurisdiction over him to give the same penalty. So, his career was saved.)

Anyway, back to Robert Wurzelbacher, Joe the Plumber's father. You see, Robert Wurzelbacher was an executive of American Continental Corporation, the parent company of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings. That's the bank which caused citizens to lose their life savings and cost U.S. taxpayers $3.4 billion. As part of that scandal, Robert Wurzelbacher pleaded guilty to three counts of misapplying $14 million and served 40 months in prison.

And now, Lincoln Savings, Robert Wurzelbacher and Joe the Plumber are back with John McCain.

"Congratulations! You're rich!," indeed.

Never mind that Joe the Plumber has state tax liens files against him. As the court representative says, Joe the Plumber might not even be aware of the lien.

Never mind that Joe the Plumber says he wasn't convinced by Sen. Obama's argument. Given his background, why should he be?

Never mind that Joe the Plumber is concerned about a tax increase if his business makes over $250,000. After all, since any business has an estimated value of five times its annual profit - that means Joe's hoped-for business is valued at $1.25 million. So, either he has that in the bank or can get a loan for its value. (Assuming he can get a loan today, of course...). Though, now you see why John McCain gave Joe the Plumber a shout out, "Congratulations! You're rich!"

But then, maybe John McCain gave Joe the Plumber a shout-out because he wanted to give a boost to a friend's relative. Nice touch.

So, apparently these are the people who John McCain seems to keep palling around with.

Mind you, I thought it odd when John McCain first brought up Joe Wurzelbacher's but then never referred to his last name again. I thought perhaps he'd forgotten it. Or it was too hard to pronounce. Apparently though there was a better reason for him to quit saying the name "Wurzelbacher" 24 times. If only Sen. McCain (R-AZ) had remembered the pesky Tivo, where you can rewind.

Now, in fairness, John McCain might not have known than Joe Wurzelbacher was from that same Wurzelbacher family. He might have thought it was just some regular Wurzelbacher. And who knows, maybe they're not even related?

But never mind all of that. This is an election, and what matters is the votes. And in the end, if John McCain wants the vote of Joe the Plumber, then he'll likely get it. That was his point all night, after all. Of course, he might not getting the votes of many other plumbers.

The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters has endorsed Barack Obama.

"Obama will help us keep existing jobs and work to develop new, higher paying jobs here in America, reform our health care system, fix our ailing schools and make sure that the pensions of our retirees are safe," the UAPP said.

By the way, as long as we're on the matter of John McCain forgetting the name of Joe Wurzelbacher and who he's related to. There's one other name he forgot at the debate.

Barack Obama.

At the end of the evening, Mr. Obama began his final statement by thanking Sen. McCain and "Bob for moderating." When it was John McCain's time, he too thanked Bob Schieffer by name, then turned to Sen. Obama, looked at him, hesitated briefly, and then sayd, "And you."

At least he didn't say "Joe Wurzelbacher."

For the 25th time.

It's refreshing to see them take a break from the attacks on each other for one night

Said Obama: "Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the planet Earth," a reference to Superman.

[Magical_Retard]

i watched that live and was like wow they come off as real ppl. a lot more like able than they do when they are actually campaigning.

but then i just finished watching mccain on letterman where the issue of ayers was raised again and again mccain said "We need to know the truth behind their relationship" even after obama did just that yesterday.

they go into idiot mode when talking to Americans but can actually be nice, polite, funny, and HUMAN to each other and a crowd full of their own kind.

bizzare.

McCain was great at the roast and great on Letterman. That version of him is what was needed to win the election, not the angry, finger pointing politician full of accusations. Being likeable is just as important as your issues.

Delaware is a school that people would go to if Temple turned them down.

Actually Temple is a school people from DelTech would go to if they wanted the same education with more danger of being shot


Rusty old boy, I'll never grow bored of it. In fact I'll just take extreme joy in reading your whining about my posts. Boston has made you a giant wet flappy vagina and I hope your period comes soon so I can throw a tampax up there and stop the flow of tears.

[Rome]

Please stop.

[ice grillin you]

temple is not the greatest academic school in the world but its as good as delaware and it actually serves its purpose as a cheap inner city commuter school that reaches out to kids who may not otherwise be able to go to college...

delaware is essentially a community college that shouldnt even exist in a state that shouldnt even exist

Sean Taylor:  Still dead.

ha

were you ever not over it?

[Seabiscuit36]

Why so much hate for Delaware, did Munson really create all of it?  As far as UD, I'll venture to guess you have no clue about them.  The School is going the Ivy league route currently, along with the Football program making steps to become D-1A.
