Members Wales2004 Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 When I see things like that I'm not quite sure what to think. On a much lighter note, I forgot to acknowledge that Manny Ramirez couldn't single handeldy bring those Dodgers out of the NLCS but he was at least consistent. I guess the bright side for me is that I don't have to hear Tim McCarver and Joe Buck go on and on about how Ramirez ended up on the Dodgers. McCarver kept insisting the public has a right to know. It seems to me that anyone familiar with the game and the player who was that interested would already know how he ended up on the Dodgers and the whole story about how he wronged the Red Sox has been run into the ground. The Red Sox aren't innocent bystanders since they basically enabled him as long as he was doing what they wanted. I have no sympathy for either and I don't need to hear about it over and over again. I'm glad there won't be a Dodgers vs Red Sox series and I hope the Rays ultimately beat the Red Sox so I can stop hearing about how they came back and beat the Yankees and last year the Indidans. Be gone already!!! At least in LA, Ramirez won't have to deal with as many OTT fans as there seem to be in Boston. I know there are some very special fans out here but for the most part, sports isn't the end all in LA (see we are still without the NFL and making it), and this is such a celebrity filled city that he shouldn't be as harassed as he probably was in Boston.

Members bandbfan Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 Saw something on "Joe" the plumber. One thing I found ironic was him saying that he didn't like that social security is forced on people, yet he thinks that we should be spreading democracy throughout the world.

Members David_Vickers Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 I noticed I had a typo here. According to CNN's poll, Barack Obama won the debate by 58% not 68%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UCLAN Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 I know Manny left because he felt he was criticised, but not caring about Red Sox baseball, i can't say for sure. I have heard that he feels very comfortable here. He raised the level of competitiveness on the Dodgers and I am grateful for that. Tim McCarver is an a**. I don't listen to his "background noise" when watching the game. Yeah I hope the Rays win tonight. Someone new in the series. Well Bruin basketball starts Nov 3rd, so I'm happy. Lots of interesting info coming out on Joe Plumber. Some stuff about him being related to Charles Keating(on Drudge and Daily Kos) and not being who he says he is. I'm not sure if it's believeable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 The McCain campaign is making Robocalls saying that Obama worked closely with a domestic terrorist etc. I guess the plan is to call people and scare them in order to get votes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/16/m...y_n_135348.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 That is exactly what I was thinking. The View is about to come on here in just over an hour from now and I wouldn't be surprised if their mouth piece will be at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UCLAN Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 And so it continues. This party is in full deperation mode. So I called the number at the end of the robocall, to let them know how I felt about this, but you can't even leave a message. The mailbox is full and when you press"0" to get further assistance, it's an invalid extension. (of course you were promted to dial 0 for additonal help. This is ludicrous. How low will they go?

Members UCLAN Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 It seems like many have forgotten that the middle class truly drives our economy. Middle class workers are the ones who spend the money and keep our economy moving. Sam is so right. I hope people really look and realize this.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 You are so right there. It is the average person that will be the ones that will help the economy. Some how Govt needs to give them money so that they can spend it. If you look back a page or two for a post that I made about our Prime Minister giving money to people that always find it difficult to make ends meet. This is going to help them buy Christmas gifts for the grand kids and spend a bit on themselves instead of paying money that they get via what every other means on bills.

Members Jess Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm tired of Joe the Plumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm getting very tired of him very quickly. He's a diversion. A way to talk about the "issues" disguised as (more) attacks on Obama. Look at the way this man talks about taxes. McCain's plan is the right way to go, while Obama's is socialist, unfair, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 The bullshit continues. Here's an article from a "all local news" station in Central FL: GOP group depicts Obama with watermelon and ribs This is just pathetic. There was a feature on this station of a local "Joe the Plumber" in Daytona Beach. He said that if the "Joe the Plumber" in Ohio is making over $250K, then he's doing very well cuz he's never seen a plumber make that kind of money. He went on to say that he wouldn't mind paying a little more in taxes if he made that much money and that he was going to vote for Obama. I'll try to find the story and post it here later.
