John McCain really did open up the ‘political Halloween costume’ field with this Joe the Plumber stuff, a smartass can dress as just about anything now and it’s “relevant” and “clever.” I am imagining running into a few “sexy Joe the Plumbers” tonight, and maybe Malkin will go as “sexy Jawad the suspected terrorist”!
Naw, actually I’m guessing she goes as an unironic Sarah Palin. I’m not sure she has a well-developed sense of irony.
AAAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!
How silly of us, I guess if he showed up with leather whips, handcuffs and chains – that would be right up your alley.
It’s funny because it’s true.
BOO!
Little crumbcrunchers are everywhere! I am dressing up as an Obamanite–I’ll just have my hand out for a free meal and whine about life and whitey.
Candy? I thought libs handed out tofu bars and wheat grass muffins.
Rush had a very funny skit the other day about redistributing candy. Wish I could find it now!
Speaking of “smartasses”
Okay, I’m officially adding Waterspout to the snobby elites list. Congratulations, Waterspout!
watershed, how many sour grapes did you eat?
I laughed out loud at the cartoon and then posted it on twitter. It’s funny because it’s oh so painfully true.
Sad, and true. Two things that make my head explode:
1. How can voters not notice the classic socialist shutdown of dissent? BO kicks dissenting reporters off his plane, individual citizens who question His Majesty are raked over the coals, television stations are denied access.
2. How can anyone with half a brain believe that 95% of workers will get an income tax cut when 40% of them pay no income tax? And if the refund is to offset social security taxes, how come they’ll still get to draw social security benefits??
Please, God, make all the idiot voters stay home!

Watershed will be dressed as a water closet
This is one of my favorite ‘spread the wealth stories, I apologise if you’ve seen it before, but it’s a good read for those who haven’t.
I was thinking about getting a big cardboard box and cutting it to look like a TV, then dressing as FDR and talk about the “crash of ’29″ from inside the TV.
I hate to mention it but I made a very similar comment as this cartoon after the last debate.
If this is from the AP…I want my check!
looks like the truth hurts, doesn’t it waterboy??

That would be really funny, but I doubt enough people would get the reference. You would constantly have to explain it.
“I won’t have to worry about puttin’ gas in my car.. I won’t have to worry about payin’ my mortgage. If I help him, he’ll help me.”
Get your ass to work lady and pay your own damn mortgage.
Is this the reason some blacks are voting for Obama? It seems to be why she is voting for him. How prevalent is this line of thinking among Obama supporters?
NJ – RACCISSSSTTTTT Alert!!!!!
It also needs to be given a big shout out that in the book Prairie Fire that Ayers was associated with from the Weatherman the dedication included Sirhan Sirhan who killed RFK.

Thanks, Abstract, I’m really enjoying the repartee. Many intelligent people, and the humor is great too.
You are very bitter. You may need counseling. You’re not some kind of stalker are you?
That’s the problem. He’s promising “free” money from those mean, nasty “rich” folks who work for a living. Just to even things out for everyone.
When I hear a liberal talk about “fairness” and “equality”, I run in the opposite direction. Those are buzzwords for spreading the wealth around.
This once great, hard working nation is headed for third world mentality. Not sure if we’ll ever be able to dig ourselves out of it.
Barry Goldwater ran on the platform of personal responsibility. How I wish someone would do that again. I own the book he wrote…Conscience of a Conservative. I think we need to bring that back into print.
hehe….
Waterbug, go back under your rock, we didnt miss you. as I recall you went wimpering off like some beaten dog. a$$ on a platter if memory serves me right.
flippin tool.
No. They are voting for him because he’s a Dem. Recall Michael Steele couldn’t get the black vote behind him because of the (r) that followed his name.
All of the welfare recipients and bleeding-heart libs who think supporting someone with that mentality is actually helping them… so, I’d say about 99.9% of his supporters think this way.
Your right chap…The polls show only one of two presidential tickets get it!

What does this dippy woman think Obama is going to give her? Thousands? Tens of thousands??
People in Pennsylvania should remember that Fast Eddie promised property tax relief. He delivered. One of my neighbors paid $6,000 in property taxes and got a whopping $139 in “relief”.
Obama doesn’t tell these people what their
winningstax rebate will be. If it turns out to be 8 bucks, will they still vote for him? I made less than $250,000 this year, I could use 5 bucks.Oh, any comments on taking her kids out of school for this?

Please do, spread it far and wide, especially if you know any high-schooler or college students who intend to vote for The One.
ha! i like the 4.0 version the ones that were banned, they at least had a half a brain.
I’ll be dressing up as a
welfare recipientObama voter tonight.Wonder why – you don’t suppose media bias would have anything to do with it?
Oh, and bias, in this case, does equate to the media thinking it imperative for them to protect and defend Obama – explicitly because they have so little confidence in his ability to put himself forth as a candidate – that they felt if they didn’t cheat for him, he wouldn’t have a chance.
I didn’t watch the infomercial. But, I heard that he made the scariest comment yet. So scary, that if he actually made it, that is all that should be on the news from now until election day.
Paraphrasing:
I know there are German speakers on this forum, so am I spelling Gestapo correctly?
More like the fact that most people of either political persuasion do not live and breath this election like your average poster here does.
Very scary indeed – and if orders for brown shirts start coming from an “O” White House, time to head for the hills!
So, Toolshed, you are obviously going to dress up as something ‘relevant’ and ‘clever.’ Please send a picture of yourself in costume as it will be interesting to see how a liberal interprets something as clever and relevant when they support such clever and relevant people as Peolsi, Reid et al.
You can disagree about whether or not Pelosi and Reid are clever, but I think everyone would agree they are relevant.
I think most people would get it, but Dems would ignore it, or think I was Chris Mathews. The clueless will always be clueless.
Excellent!
Klaatu, this is what Obama proposed earlier this year.
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” Obama said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”
Let’s take a look at the proposal. This is in addition to the military and all of the county, state, local, and Federal security organizations already in place. Its structure has three significant facets.
First it is National so it can cross state boundries. It can thus CONCENTRATE anywhere. Second, it is civilian. What do civilian security agencies have that the military does not? The power to arrest. Third, it is “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded” as the military.
Obama’s proposed size of this force is 250,000. Since this force would be within the US its logistical needs would be minimal. therefore they could have more “trigger pullers” than a compable military group, because there is no need to deploy to an overseas area with no logistical services. Also the need for heavy armor and artillery is minimal, so you can have more aviation assets.
The 9/11 terrorsts totalled 19. So what is the purpose of a paramilitary organization of 250,000 given the agencies already in place? Disbursing them makes no sense, because if totally disbursed they would duplicate most any town/city’s SWAT team. A company sized unit (150) would be the minimum size to be effective
I commanded both an infantry company and a light infantry battalion. I could secure a city of 50,000 with my one 600 man battalion. One 5,000 man brigade of the 82nd Airborne secured Detroit during their riots.
Obama’s national security force could easily equip and deploy 30, 5,000 man brigades. The entire US Army Reserve is currently 220,000. At its peak the US had 165,000 personnel in Iraq.
Historically, the last time the Western World saw a paramilitary organization of this size with the amount of combat power at its disposal was …. the Waffen SS.
So Watershed, LGM, nyk, et. all, you tell us what a national force of this size with the power of arrest is supposed to exist for? Do you think it’s a good idea? What threat does it protect the country from? Are we suppposed to “save 10 billion dollars a month” and withdraw from Iraq to pay for this force? I cannot wait for the rationalization.
Ja.
I see that really, and not surprisingly, you didn’t learn anything from our exchange yesterday…you know, the one about “personal attacks are ALL YOU HAVE.”
Kettle, I want to introduce you to your neighbor….
*sigh* Weak.
Yes, they are relevant to this country going down the drain. Problem is, will they ever be held accountable for it? Answer, NO! They are Dems so they get a free pass.
If you doubt that, then why has Sen Stevens already been to trial and Jefferson (D, LA) still in office? Why was Lott driven out of office and Byrd (D, WV) still in with his track record of KKK support.
Need I go on?
How long before we see Obama handing out 40 acres and a mule?
Just sent it to my nephew. A very bright engineering student who doesn’t get it yet.
We have to be the watchdogs for the clueless masses and misguided youth.
I dressed up as a Democrat/pirate. I am going to take your money and ….keep it!
BOO!
I’ve brought this up a few times…is this 600 billion dollars included in his 1 trillion dollars worth of new programs?
At least you are being honest about it!
Check out the hysteria on MM:
Only you people could come up with something this ridiculous – But let’s look at what you pay for right now.
You pay for the Iraqis mortgages and gas, you pay for Wall St. gas and mortgage. You pay for gas and mortgages of US automakers.
And you’re paying for all of these things during a republican administration – you folks should get back to drinking moonshine and sniffing glue.
My first thought was, ‘is that woman for real?’. The ‘One’ has really convinced some people that they will be on Easy Street if he gets elected. Why would anyone want to work really hard to be successful when the fruits of their efforts will go to someone like this? But they keep saying that this election and his platform isn’t about race….yeah, right!

I’m not substantive enough on the “Halloween” thread? That’s what you go for? C’mon, abstract. You can do better. Good fun is good fun. I think discussing say, taxes, and giving a “you’re stoopit” response is slightly different that giving costume suggestions. Take say, literally anything that comes out of Bud Fox’s corner, for example.
But go for that “gotcha”! It’s cool.
Ilovemycountry, and just what country IS that? If things do melt down perhaps we shall meet. One can always hope, Yes We Can as the Obaminations say.

Hey Chap, need a client? I don’t know why McCain doesn’t use this in the last hour. Sure, it says he’s a Republican Power Broker, but he plays both sides. For people that don’t know Illinois Politics, Meet THE POPE! The Republican responsible for keeping Durbin in office. He even supports Obama.
Just like a liberal, always changing the subject. This IS a halloween thread, if you want to discuss something
else find another thread.
You pay for the Iraqis mortgages and gas, you pay for Wall St. gas and mortgage. You pay for gas and mortgages of US automakers.
Anti-troop, anti-capitalist, socialist!
(Just guessing what kind of responses you might receive.)

I discussed costumes. That’s pretty Halloweeny.
My nephew is a great kid…just very young. He will come around. He has had a job since he was 12 doing yard work and has a part time job on top of carying a full load at LSU. He just feels that Obama’s law degree makes him more qualified. He will come around. I am just happy that he is not registered to vote yet.
How is China today?
Ilovemycountry:
Without debating the merits of such policies (I personally don’t like subsidies to the auto industry, for example), the difference between paying for ‘gas and mortgages’ for this woman and the examples you gave is the concept of externalities.
A policy decision is made that the benefits to third parties by assisting car companies, for example, outweight the drawbacks of subsidizing them. Subsidies help the companies provide American jobs, for example, or provide cheaper automobiles for consumers. Likewise, a policy decision was made that the benefits in terms of foreign policy and stability in Iraq is worth the payment.
On the other hand, paying for this woman’s ‘gas and mortgage’ provides no apparent benefits to third parties. Subsidizing someone who doesn’t want to have to work to make her payments doesn’t benefit anyone else other than her (or her immediate family, friends, etc.)
This is the very reason my four children have been raised to work for those nice things they wanted, right back to their formative years and even when I can well afford to give it to them. They’re not perfect , but at least they are Conservatives.
Flyoverman, thank you for scaring me on Halloween.

Sorry, spent too much time needing to analyze the capabilities of the other side in a prior life. We have to differentiate probability from potential. The potential is there. Potential always sounds worse than probability.
The rhetorical question is how can anyone read tings like this ad still support Obama? We know the answer to that.
Let’s hope there are enough sane members of Congress to never fund this.
Typical Obama supporter, all about a fancy speech about “hope” and “change”, not about the policies he supports. I bet that speech made he leg tingle.

I’m dressing as an Obama voter tonight: glazed eyes, slack jaw, walk like a zombie intoning “Hope and change… hope and change…”
Hope I don’t scare the kids too much.
Careful; don’t give watersHed another literary insult–he’ll race to google it. Like he tried w/Ayn Rand yesterday.
If you do, make it something equally great, like Victor Hugo. Some gigantic tome.
Then wait for the comedy.
You have been spending way too much time with MistressJustice…Mistress Cheryl!
