Yeah and guess who's going to pick up that bill.
Hey 19 that's Brittney Spears
are beyond imagination. It's as if the greedy power mongers stole and maxed out the credit cards of every U.S. citizen and our children, grandchildren, and a few generations beyond that. They have sold our future to China.

Put this sh*t AWAY and LEARN SOMETHING
Soon or later all children have to give up their freaking toys.
I watched the interview with Diane Sawyer this morning, and Joe the plummer basically addmitted that the McCain campaign contacted him before he met with Obama.
The guys a plant and a mole. No question.

Here's an interesting fact. At most Joe the plumber would pay an extra $900 under Obama's plan. Not exactky what the media seems to be implying, is it?
is the cons are just going to bail out of the stock market between now and January 20 since it's obvious the parties over.
Spreading the Wealth!
I think it's time they pay for the sins.
BIGTIME~!
Whats Sarah going to do now being upstaged by Joe and his "instant overnight" celebrity?
Joe has now ascended from plumber to Media Personality and Hot Property.
Next he'll have his own TeeVeE show.
Extreme Home Plumbing Makeover
The skyrocketing/crashdiving career of Sarah Palin has now come to an end. She's been "upstaged" by Joe the Plumber. Now that's a hellova sad commentary for any woman who uses her kids to show that her plumbing's still working.
a bad hangover-headache from watching McCain last night?
I always have a bad hangover every morning.
The sound of a fly landing on the wall can be devastating.
)O(
LOL life in general these days gives me a hangover and I don't even need to drink.
... and I am paying for it dearly this morning.
Every "my friends" was a tequila sip.
Every "bold faced lie or attempt at being remotely populist" was a tequila shot.
(we did not have beer this time)
We were shitfaced by the 20th minute into the debate.

Bout time ya showed up.
I was getting lonely
Just went outside. Heard something that sounded like a gun battle in the distance.
Booshes Murica!
One thing we do know for sure now is that Joe, the Plumber, was asked to be a national "plant" and "mole" for the McCain Campaign. Joe, the Plumber, is not a plumber at all - he's a McCain Pimp. Disengenuous as the day is long and now a "known liar" about his position as "undecided".
The Say It Aint' So, Liar Joe Campaign has just begun. Joe Wurzelbacher is at least another McCain liar trying to "pimp america".
What amazed me is the sheer lightning speed of the video of Joe's exchange with Obama. Are each of Obama's contacts with americans on the streets of this country videotaped? Are they videotaped by his opponent? If so, they're paying someone big dinero to trail around videotaping Obama all day long.
What's smelling here reeks of "plant" and "set-up" when McCain's campaign surfaces just moments following the debate with "Joe, The Plumber Take One" ready to roll.
People aren't buying this Joe bullshit any more than they're buying ACORN or McCain riding into washington to fix this crisis.
No gives a rat's a$$ about Joe, the "Rich Plumber" because he's become now total fiction.
Hey Joes successful now.
He's achieved the "American Dream"
Introducing award winning mole Joe the Plumber!
That's the way they operate. From Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition right on up to the RNC. Lie, cheat, steal . . . live and breath dishonesty.
We are seeing a new phenomenon right now in american politics where the politics of yore no longer work with the majority of middle class america.
What we see is a total rejection of the stunts and tactics of Rove/Bush/McBush.
The people of this democracy are speaking out loudly and clearly; the people of this democracy are now "taking back" what rightfully belongs to them.
... and could care less about what Joe the plumber may end up losing, because they have already lost plenty with McCain's pal Bush.
What's delightful and celebratory for americans across this country right now is the foregone conclusion now that this incredible human being, who epitomizes everything that americans hope to be, will become the next President of the United States.
People in my community are waving Obama signs like crazy and dancin' in the streets with pure elation and the hope of improvement for this failing country.
Obama IS the peace; Obama IS the hope; Obama IS the calm in this nation's storm.
He's perfectly qualified, sharp, knowledgeable, well educated, both academically and street and has class and endurance but let's not go off the deep end with the messiah stuff. Thats not what America needs anymore.
We need a REALITY CHECK.
she'd be treated like dirt.
But hey she's successful because she has lots of money!
Who cares if she's a dirt bag!
Coultergiest, the Irrelevant, has now decended into the land of "cipherdom".
the McLame campaign either couldn't or wouldn't find an actual person that could benefit from his policies and instead rely on a slimy con job.
from their policies.
The problem is that rich bastard CEOs do not look so good on the TeeVee nowadays.
Joe the plumber, like Sarah the Secessionist, will go down in history as being just another american joke - the tactics of a party which no longer represents the american public and deserve to be relegated to the deceitful abyss from which they originate.
Sadly, Joe the Plumber, is just another typical RNC "stunt".

I have a feeling this plumber guy is going to soon rue the day he agreed to go along with this charade. He's been used, and made to look like a fool. I hope he was paid well for his act.
He'll probably be on the "shows" circuit Good Morning America and all the other msm bullshit being fed to the American Public and spun as a victim.
The Media is the next Monopoly that needs to be split up and regulated so we don't have 4 Super Billionaires owning all the media under their parent umbrella sitting on super yachts off the coast of France or Italy dictating whats going to be broadcast to the public.
I wonder if a court will have to issue a writ of mandamus to get the sheriff to do his job now.
I used to work in the collection business and every constable and sheriff I knew were so disgusted with having to drag the poorest of the poor into court every week over debts given to them by predatory lenders. I was sick, but I'm feeling a sense of schadenfreude now that the credit companies that did this shit in the first place are all dying one by one.
(Of course the bailout pisses me off to no end, but that's a topic for another day...)
Amazing! I sure hope that AT&T and Verizon are planning to move those towers as soon as McGoo is soundly trounced on Nov 4th. I hope WaPo keeps track of that.
Cindy will probably be moving to one of the condos in a more populated area anyway, after she finds out she won't be living at the White House.
REHAB!! AGAIN!!
Experts...REAL EXPERTS...not the GOP shills trying to underplay the mess and piss off "the base"...estimate the total cost of the Wall Street meltdown at $2 - $5 TRILLION, so...I would count on it costing roughly $4 - $5 TRILLION.
that would be the Wall Street meltdown enabled by the maverick deregulator, Senator McCain?
Say it ain't so, Joe.
to take up studying Mandarin . . again.
Peel and eat and mandarin than study it.
)O(
Since John McCain's record as a deregulator over the past 3 decades is beginning to thrust him personally into our current economic mess, there's no doubt that he'd like people to forget what he's done to us.
John McCain and Phil Gramm of the GRAMM/BLILEY ACT to deregulate Wall Street will be found "culpable and criminal" when we get to the bottom of our current mess. They're hoping to project their blame onto others; however, without the deregulation of this market accomplished wholly by them and their 'free market meme', none of this greed would have been possible.
John McCain, as in the Keating Five Scandal, will be part of this investigation and will share major responsibility for enabling this current mess by his own actions.

I think a better idea is give tax breaks to companies who want to become Private Security Firms only instead of blackwater these guys will hunt down and bring in all the CONS who got us into this mess and protect the security of the People of The United States and integrity of the Constitution.
Head Hunters Inc.
This guy to head it:

I believe we'll find this out when we get to the disgusting bottom of the McCain Deregulation cesspool. I think he'd better lawyer up soon.
I welcome our Chinese overlords.
We stop buying their inferior crap and the concept of China owning us and being our overlord will be laughable.
I'm not too worried about who the overlord du jour will be but anytime the economy goes into the can, the environment takes a back seat. Mother Earth will be taking a major hit in the coming years.
If we can get over our addiction and rush to maintain our status as the biggest gluttons on earth there is hope.
If China's economy goes into the crapper and people go nuts the Chinese Authorities will have their hands full at home.
1.3 billion upset and angry people is a handful.
They can call Joe the plumber.
That was how many McDonald's served.
)O(
joe the plumber is our next willy horton, time after time after time he will be shown ass crack and all bending over the toilet while mccain sticks out his tounge wanting to lick the rim of joes crack! blessed be the crack!
It crushes me every time I hear an American talk about things like having to make choices between food and medicine. That guy at Crackpot Press ... my heart goes out to him.
Listen, Dick Cheney is ill again, and despite everything, I hope he gets better. Hell, I think the guy is evil, but he's got a family and a brand-spanking new grandkid. There are people who love him. I remember seeing my dad in hospital after he had a heart attack, and I wish nobody had to go through that.
But as he's being attended by the best physicians your country has to offer, I pray that he suddenly sees the light, and realizes for many people less fortunate than him, this would be the end. And there are just as many people who love and care about them.
I'm sure Joe the Plumber can bail us out of this financial mess!
