Fred Thompson on his latest visit to Florida Saturday October 18th, 2008
“A Barack Obama presidency would “change the face of this country” with higher taxes and liberal judicial picks. “There will be no stop-gap. Any amount of spending they want, any amount of taxes they want to pass,” he said. “Do you really think if they have the ability and power when they go to Washington they’re going to only raise taxes on 5 percent of the American people?”
And from John McCain:
“The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn’t recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
Any American who gets within close proximity to Obama should ask a tough question. How many ordinary Americans can Obama’s Goon Squad smear and still smell like roses to the majority of voters?
But Joe is right! Obamanation is a child, a tantrum throwing child who reminds me of Commodus from Gladiator. Spoiled to the core.
I saw Huckabee last night and Joe was such a normal guy. He brought his dad and his teen age son whom he just got custody of and they seem like such a nice, welcoming, American family. Anyone would be proud to have Joe as a neighbor.
Joe is quite right. He has a dream of working for himself. The media calls it, ‘Joes fantasy’, to mock his dream of owning his own business. We know more about ‘Joe the Plumber’ in two weeks than we know about B.Hussein Obama. For someone who the obama thugs wanted him to ask their messiah a question they obama thugs and the media have worked overtime digging up Joe’s past and trying to berate, trash and demean the guy. The whole problem is Joe wants to do it his way. Not the way “he should” by going through the Union, or by begging obama for a chance.
And to pile on the Stupid Plumbers Union and their thugs are jumping on his case, about not being licensed. As I said before you can be a Journeyman plumber without being State Certified or licensed. That is the way it used to be. There are alot of the good ole boys from the Unions who came up the same way and were grandfathered into the State Certification program all because they belonged to the Union for the past 20 years and paid their dues on time. Doesn’t mean they know anything, just they were given a free pass, typical Union, trying to get a freebie.
Sounds a bit like Cronyism desn’t it.
But in Ohio at least, there is a move on to get rid of all the NON-Union contractors from all the trades. The apprentice they bring in are all brainwashed into Unionism, or better called Socialism, if they can not be molded into the stooges they want they are told they are not qualified and will not make it through their program. This is what the unions have turned into.
During Election time, I would get letters from the IBEW, telling every body who to vote for. At this one partifcular time James Traficant was our congressman, they didn’t say anything bad about him because, everytime they needed him he got thme what they needed, so go ahead and vote for ‘Jimmy’. This is why the unions want to get rid of the secret ballot on Union elections, so they can intimidate company employees into joining the Union, so they can get to the wayward employee and threaten them and their families. The unions have turned into a bunch of Stalinist thugs. In Youngstown, Ohio this has happened more than once.
But Joe the Plumber, just by being on Television is risking alot. The Union will surely be trying to destroy this guy. Because he is painting them in a bad light, that is by telling the truth.
So what do you expect from a low-life communist rabble-rouser who has never gotten his hands dirty actually doing something called work. The only dirt obammy has ever had is Rezko, Ayers and the like. We must not forget his heroes, Marx, Lenin and Engels. I bet a sawbuck that he can’t even chage a tire or check his oil.
When Joe asked Obama the question, he was very respectful and didn’t get in his face. He treated Obama with the respect and decency someone should treat a presidential candidate. Even watching Joe on Huckabee last night, he wasn’t disrespectful when he spoke of Obama and was very poised and reserved.
The way the Obama and his minions have treated Joe is shameful and disgraceful. All the man did was ask a question. Joe had no way of knowing his question was going to be on the news or even if anybody cared. He had a question and he asked it. Unfortunately for Obama, his truthful answer of Joe’s question exposed his intent on what he wants to impose on America.
What this episode with Joe has showed us is that anybody that questions Obama is going to be put through the ringer by his followers and the MSM. It’s a warning to the American People that things are definitely changing and the days of questioning our leaders intentions is now going to be answered by “goon” squad investigations and harassment. The Constitution as we know it is going to become old history if Obama gets his way.
Obama elitism shows all too frequently. His vanity and arrogance is there for all to see. Whether it is mocking a plumber, mocking Bible and gun owners or having styrofoam Greek columns as a backdrop, this man is out of control.
Obama would try to make the Presidency a dictatorship. I can see why he says he would meet with the world’s dictators without conditions. He thinks like they do and identifies with them.
First I believe we have to know the enemy, Obama is the prodigy of one Saul Alinski amongst many others. Certain themes in this campaign sound familiar?
“Thus, the Communists have on their hands the odd double task of seeming to be allied with reformers and yet seeking both to discredit them and to prevent their getting problems well enough solved to lower “class tensions. For this task, the united front affords an ideal maneuvering ground. It makes “legitimate” the presence of Communists at problem points in our society where reformers are at work. Being on hand, they can make the most of every chance to assume “vanguard” role: to grab the spotlight by first inducing strife and then being more “brave” than reformers in fighting the “forces of reaction.” Also, they can do what Marx recommended in his Address to the Communist League: namely, outbid the reformers by being less “timid” and more “generous” in the demands they make in behalf of the needy and discontented. “
The sad truth is that most of those who visit here have pissed away more brain cells than the average Obama sycophant. If you recognise the Communist tactics it’s very clear that Bernie Sanders followers established a majority in the House and Senate, Pelosi is their leader in the Senate, Sanders is essentially silent but he set the whole thing up, they are in place waiting for the Annointed One to rubber stamp every one of their agenda objectives. FDR did this but he didn’t have all the minions in place and he did it under similar circumstances. This bailout was unconstitutional, both Congressional houses and the president knew it, they slipped it in under a legitimate appropriations bill along with the earmarks. In business that’s padding the books, or better known as embezzling, in congress it’s known as a rescue plan, in our view it’s Socialism and a take over, a political coup. Palin see it and calls it out, McCain isn’t convincing and Obama is blatant. Poor Joe the plumber is the messenger and they want him dead. Pick any union and you’ll find the same fundamental ideology, of monopolizing the workplace with restrictions and legislated lockouts that cost the consumer $60 -$100 /hr for their labor.
I wish somebody would explain to me what “friend” means to a politician. McCain said about both Joe Biden and Colin Powell that they had been friends for 25 years. I’ve had some friends that long and longer. It is inconceivable that they would stick knives in my back but McCain’s back is like a porcupine’s with his “friends'” knives. Et tu, Brute, indeed. Old Vietnam war buddies like Powell doing it to him. Give me some hope for this degraded country, please. Winston Churchill said, “If you want to lose faith in Democracy, just talk to an average voter for five minutes.” Hell, it’s the celebrities who are selling their souls to the devil, not the Sixpack Plumber Joes. I’m mad as hell, and I wish John McCain was.
I guess Powell was p.o.’d for not being chosen for VP. Well, now we see why he wasn’t.
I won’t be around in 2012 but if there is a Presidential election I hope Palin can run.
And what’s more, Jack is dead right on in his post above. There’s a big closed-shop/right-to-work fight in Colorado going on now that the Democrats totally control the state. With Obama as President, America will become a closed Union shop. You won’t believe how far down the chain the unions will organize.
To say nothing of losing all our Second Amendment rights. I’ll bet Colin Powell has armed bodyguards, what do you want to bet? He and Rosie O’Donnell make a good pair now. Where the hell is Tom Selleck hiding? Let’s get him on camera. With Charlton Heston gone we need a tall rifleman as a role model. I’m available (Hee Hee) but I’m too old for the job.
Lynn, yes Obama is like Commodus from Gladiator, hyour right.
Mark, thank you so much for the information. I agree so much and I sure hope the Unions never get rid of the the secret ballot on Union elections. You are so right about that too.
I have been wondering if when Joe does try to get his license they stop him and don’t even give him a chance. I hope that does not happen,but I wouldn’t put anything past those not liking what Joe did.
I am proud of him I sure hope he will be ok.
GM Cassel AMH1(AW) USN RETIRED, I bet your right,LOL, I bet Obama has never changed a tire and would probably sit on there crying and complaining to anyone that would listen how it was how someone did something mean to him.
BobF, yes Joe had not bad attitude when he asked the question. Your right he showed respect and only wanted to ask his question.
Times sure have changed especually when dealing with people on the left. They really won’t allow free speech.
Tom, I agree so much, he really is out of control.
Jack, yes and thanks for the link and the quote too. All the calls we made to not vote for the bailout did’t matter, it was a set deal.
All of this is really getting to me. The moments of being strong sometimes are less and less, I just hope we can all hang in there. I have always been a warrior, military minded person from my upbrining, but sometimes I feel like we are all voices that are so little instead of big booming across our nation voices.
See then I write this and I get a surge of no way will they win, no way will we let them be given the keys to our country without a fight.
Horace, I could be wrong but I think McCain’s use of ‘my friend’ has something to do with how he has handled his POW time when he got back home. And I have no idea how it works for him but it isi just a feeling I have. Maybe they are key words he uses when he feels like blowing up and they help him stay cool. I say this because he seems to use them when the timing is what should be a time to blow his stack and tell the person off he will reply first with…. My Friend, you are wrong etc.
Powell is an ass, he has been one for years now. When Bush was running opposite Gore. Powell made a statement he would be glad to work for either the dem Pres. or the Rep. President. That was the first time I remember being ticked off at him and he has gone down hill since then.
I hope you are around in 2012. We can celecbrate Palin as President. Think positive, I am, it is hard sometimes I know. I would miss you Horace.
It is so sad to hear that about Colorado, I love that State. Like you said it is going to be everywhere.
