A Conversation with Glenn, Pete, and John
It all started here.
I apologize for the time, some time from now, that this link expires. Mr. Beck is as technologically backward as he is politically retarded.
Glenn:
We've had two years to vett Obama, if there was anything of substance, anything real, conservative outlets like the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and Fox News would have found it. Look at how they stuck with John Edwards until he came clean. "conservatives" like Beck don't have the intellectual discipline to compare programs and argue on the merits. It's all character assasination and it's one of the reasons that the best the Repubican Party has to offer is John McCain.
I'm happy to tell you that your boy is going down on November 4th.

And another thing: Joe the Plumber is another ill-considered, spur-of-the-moment choice like Palin. Chosen not for what value she might add to a McCain Administration, but for how she can be used to attack Obama. Joe is not a licensed plumber, owes the state of Ohio $1200 in back taxes, and, I guarantee, does not make more than $250,000 a year. Again, act, then think, that's McCain. If this is the way that McCain makes decisions, he is not the right man for the job.
Your Loving Brother,
Pete:
Again, the righteously impartial mainstream media (who have already elected Obama for us unwashed masses) spent more time finding dirt on Joe The Plumber than they ever spent investigating Bill Ayers. Maybe you can help understand how my life will be better in a socialist state. I apologize for being so unenlightened.
Pete
Glenn:
1) It's not the media that selected Joe, it was McCain. Anything you bring up in open court is fair game for either side. The media found both Wright and Ayers; Obama had never mentioned either of them in his campaign until he was confronted with a question.
2) It's hard to believe that the party of Karl Rove does not have a staff of researchers working on Obama and his friends and media-savvy professionals ready to get the best press for the worst dirt. Again, if it were there, we'd have heard it by now.
3) a-Bush used his eight years, six of which were with a Republican majority in the Congress, to create the largest government, and concommitant deficit, in U. S. History; b-is government ownership of financial assets Socialism? Ask Hank Paulson. It's not Obama's nor Pelosi's nor Reid's plan to own the means of production. Your life will be better when we are not the largest debtor nation on the planet and when we are making investments in education, infrastructure, and health care.
4) I heard a conservative talk show host declare yesterday that Obama's father was 47% Arab, in response to a caller's compaint that the crowd at a McCain rally called Obama an Arab. How do you determine someone's ethnicity to a precise percentage? This is Third Reich stuff. These are the same people that beat Sikhs(a Hindu sect) in the streets after 9/11 because they were wearing turbans. McCain calls on Obama to repudiate Lewis? He needs to clean his own house!
A CFP question: as the value of a 401K declines, at what point does it make sense to stop contributing? Take into account the tax benefit of investing pre-tax dollars and reducing taxable income versus investing in financial assets that continue to lose value. 10 Points.
Again, you got the brains, but Mom taught me how to argue...
Pete:
Put another way................in 24 hours our media can give Joe the Plumber a full rectal exam but after 2 years they still can't tell us who Barak Obama is. Hey, lets share some of the wealth around!
OK Senator Government, I guess a little extra redistribution at the hands of a liberal supermajority is long overdue. While we're at it lets implement more windfall profits tax for "Big Oil & Big Drug," require carbon credits for every fart and register a few more felons to vote and seal the deal. I guess next up will be the Fairness Doctrine to quell any dissention.
So much of what the government does it does so well.....we want the government even more involved in our lives!
Free healthcare for everyone!
Hell-of-a-job, Brownie!
Glenn:
The government is already involved in your life. Don't you manage Defense contracts?
I think you'd better call Tom Davis(your congressman) and make sure that he's got all the money and help he needs to fight off his Democratic challenger. Many "Conservatives" think that the political process ends with a rant to a talk show host; it ends in the polling booth.
P.S. you need better sound bites. Try reading.
Pete:
That's right, it all ends in the polling booth. And just think................when you're pulling your lever........................
Glenn:
Think about it: do you really want nothing to happen in the next four years? Imagine a Congress controlled by Democrats and a Republican in the White House...Can we afford to waste four years? And McCain isn't exactly Reagan. Don't mistake McCain's anger for a compelling personality.
Don't give up yet, we still have time for an "October Surprise."

John:
Dear Pete and Glenn, I think John McCain was brilliant when he brought up Joe the Plumber. First of all, much of the focus is on Joe the Plumber now, not Mr. Obama. Second, this story illustrates the Republican charge that Democrats Tax and Spend. In this case it draws attention to the Tax part and shows a real danger for middle class Americans in having their taxes raised. Democrats claim to represent middle America and here is a real life example of taxes being raised on a middle American. People are afraid now of losing their money and this story of Joe the Plumber also having his taxes raised represents a real fear for many people. More taxes = less money in hand. This is a significant concern for many people.
Also, as far as research on Mr. Obama, I don't think the Republicans have used all the tools that they have. Do you think they might have saved the best for last? I do. A lot of the people that have made up their mind have all ready voted. The undecided people are listening to and watching what happens as we close on election day. The big guns will come out soon in the last flourish of spending campaign funds.
By the way, Mr. Obama is very liberal, way more liberal than Hillary Clinton. I am still glad that he is running instead of her and if he wins; our country will have matured into electing a President who is "black" and whos' middle name is Hussein and that would be amazing.
Oh, I found a scorpion in the shower the other day as I was getting ready to turn the water on. Unsettling but not as unsettling as looking down and having a scorpion resting on a bare part of your foot.
John
Pete:
John, in case you didn't know, Glenn was dropped on his head as a child. He wears a helmet now whenever he goes outside....and a drool bib. I'm sorry I had to tell you at a time like this but its best you know. It helps to better understand him when he goes off in liberal la la land. I know you join me in wishing him all the best.
There you have it.

Glenn:
I guess your next move is a gated compound in Idaho. Be sure to stockpile plenty of butts, booze, and coffee, but no gold: it will absorb the radiation! You and Maggie will look cute in matching camo...
The government is already involved in your life. Don't you manage Defense contracts?
Healthcare is only for those who can pay cash out of pocket? Only for those in an employer-paid program? What about Joe The Plumber? Who pays the hospital bills for independent contractors? For small businesses? Who's going to pay Kathy's salary? You should be the Cindy Sheehan of government-supported health care.

Glenn:
Maybe...Have you converted as many people as I have? How many "Dear Neighbor" cards did you send out? Are you driving voters to the polls? Did you give your candidate any money? I can pull a hundred levers to your one. Kathy, Andrew and Robin are all registered, right? How are they voting?
