Conservatives need to realize we are nothing more than charlie brown and the GOP’s leadership is Lucy holding the football.
AAUGH! You're right.

I have the same sense. Graciousness in politics is a rare thing these days, so I can understand your reaction.
I agree.
You can suggest anything you want (yes it is allowed) but you should be open to have it challenged. I just broke down your post into simple pieces and explained how your comment was flawed at best.
His profession requires an internship and it seems he was following that protocol. The legitimacy of his company's operation has been discussed at length and I am satisfied that they were in compliance with the regulations (just my opinion).
He did lose business due to the fuss and it adversely affected his livelihood. He now has the challenge of rebuilding his life (all for asking a question).
If he has success with the fame that was thrust upon him, more power to him. If he is a flash in the pan, then he will not sell many books. If he can sing well, write well, and politic well (and I like the product) then I will buy his records, books and vote for him.
It is the free market, tune him out if you don't like him.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
I voted for Duncan Hunter.
I wasn’t a McCain supporter. I was a Palin supporter.
Mean-spirited? This is the future of the country, not a baseball game.
Maybe that's why he tried to hide her...
I was for Hunter until Thompson entered. Realized that Hunter wasn’t gaining traction and then really was hoping for a Thompson/Hunter ticket. Just didn’t work out.:(
I still voted for Hunter in the CT primary.
The new Dodge Challenger is going for a little over $40,000.
Why is somebody going to pay the price of a lower-end luxury car, when they can get a Honda or Toyota for less than that?
Of course people saw through Obama's claim he would cut taxes for 95% of Americans. Even Democrats subconsciously knew it was bogus, I'm sure.
But the thrust of McCain's argument still damaged the GOP because it made Obama look like he was fighting for those making under $250,000, while McCain was fighting for the "possibility" that someday you might make that much.
Heck, most people instinctively know they will never make $250,000 a year, and if they did probably wouldn't mind paying an extra 3% in taxes because they would be so deliriously happy to be making $250,000 a year in the first place
The whole argument simply fed in to the false media-created perception that the GOP is the party of those making "over $250,000" and the Democrats are the party of those making "under $250,000."
Actually, I was more happy that Joe-the-Plumber was able to cut through and penetrate the "no hard questions for Obama" barrier set up by the national media than I was at the content of Joe's question.
Fred barely supported himself. He didn't seem real excited about the job.
I was all psyched up. He actually went after obama in the debate. Then he punted.

McCain totally sucked as a candidate.
You may consider that statement to be a matter of one having no class, but it is still true.
This Joe the Plumber character was seriously brought into the campaign by McCain. Great political move. Joe the plumber saw it, and so did many. Likely McCain's best ploy of the entire campaign. "Joe" likely saw it in the same fashion.
John McCain has never had the decency to take a firm stand as a "conservative." He played both sides of every fence, and in the end, he was humiliated by an upstart rookie of spurious origin. A man who is likely a product of a combined islamic/socialist alliance whose principle aim in common is to undermine this nation.
Sure and a 500+ lose in the EC
