3. I did an actual happy dance......
..... when I heard that the spineless whiner who only palled around with Palin and the gang because they were paying his meal ticket decided to ditch them.

Guess the GOP no longer made him horny. :)

5. I forgot about that horney comment
They say so many outrageous things that you cannot keep up with them.. So the phony plumber is also a phony republican?

This borders on delicious.. :hi:

Edited on Fri May-08-09 09:18 AM by Clio the Leo
.... who I swear I CANNOT STAND about 10,000 times more than anyone in the GOP. The type who whine about "big government" and how they dont think they should have to pay taxes .... all while standing on a street that tax money paid for ....... a street that is relatively safe due to law enforcement that is also paid for with tax money ..... etc. etc.

Idiots.

9. Joe the plumber saw a handful of people's opinion
He's wounded.

I get a kick out of him but he did cross the line recently. It's sad and I'm in on giving him the boot so his next line would be that he has "left the building".

13. he's for fiscal responsibility and low taxes, but two-thirds of the current budget is off limits
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1896588,00.html

Big Government is never popular in theory, but the disaster aid, school lunches and prescription drugs that make up Big Government have become wildly popular in practice, especially now that so many people are hurting. Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, tells TIME he's so outraged by GOP overspending, he's quitting the party — and he's the bull's-eye of its target audience. But he also said he wouldn't support any cuts in defense, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid — which, along with debt payments, would put more than two-thirds of the budget off limits. It's no coincidence that many Republicans who voted against the stimulus have claimed credit for stimulus projects in their district — or that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal stopped ridiculing volcano-monitoring programs after a volcano erupted in Alaska. "We can't be the antigovernment party," Snowe says. "That's not what people want."
