Last Presidential debate

[infrogmation]

Okay a year ago, who would have believed that the Republicans would socialize the banks, and the Republican candidate would accuse the Democrat of being like Herbert Hoover. What?

Also, if John McCain wins, he will appoint Joe the Plumber to the Supreme Court and give him a gold plated Cadillac.


[edit]

"The real winner last night was Joe the Plumber!” -- John McCain

So, then: McCain managed to come in third in a 2 person debate.

So he really said "gold-plated Cadillac".

Are you sure he didn't mean "G. the Plumber"? Isn't Liddy the only living Nixon-era associate who doesn't have a government job?

Yep. You're not the only one who was reminded of another type of Republican "plumber":

John Dean was a Nixon associate, and as far as I know, he doesn't have a government job.

He's the exception that proves the rule! What with Nixon firing him for not playing along...

Somebody need to make a sticker "What would Joe the Plumber do?"

Too bad there isn't a fourth debate, 'coz now I wanna play McCain Bingo (I didn't get Bingo with Palin unfortunately).

If you were a drinking person, you could have played the Maverick drinking game and been passed out by the end of the VP debate :p

Yeah, I saw that whole debacle, too. What would Joe the Plumber do?

We report. You decide.

McCain said the group is "now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country." He also alluded to the fact that Obama's campaign had paid a firm affiliated with ACORN $800,000 earlier this year for get-out-the-vote efforts.

And also from the San Francisco Chronicle:

But election experts say the chances for significant voter fraud in November are slim. Most of the false or duplicate names - such as "Mickey Mouse" and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys - are already being struck from voter rolls by election boards. Election experts say that while there have been isolated cases of voter fraud in recent history, it's virtually impossible to pull off large-scale voter fraud without being discovered.

"Is it going to cause headaches for election officials? Yes," said Richard L. Hasen, a professor at Loyola Law School and a specialist in election law. "Are they going to have duplicate or false names in their registration databases? Yes. Is it going to change the election outcome? No. ... Duplicate registrations don't lead to fraudulent votes being cast. You don't get Joe Montana voting 400 times even if he's registered 400 times in San Francisco."

But hey, what the fuck does that guy know? All he is is some kind of pointy-headed perfesser and 'specialist' in election law. Obviously an 'elititist.'

If Johnny Wetstart says the coloreds are stealing the election by registering Mickey Mouse to vote, that's good enough for me.
