Ah, yes, Joe the Plumber. The "real" American.

What constitutes him as a "real" American? According to the McCain/Palin ticket he was. Was he born in the US? Probably so but that campaign was all about who was the "real" American and no regard to millions of others in this country that they deemed insignificant. Sound familiar? That clearly doesn't work.

Does something disqualify him?
Why does his status as a "real" American come into question?

No, I just hated the way the campaign was disingenuous by parading him around to pander to their base like this is their vision of a real American. It was almost like the insulting "last ditch" effort Paul Ryan made at the soup kitchen. I know you can't please everyone but it was such a bogus attempt in my opinion. It didn't seem genuine.

"Annoying" because I happen to be right and you happen to be wrong.

The truth and REALITY is a thorn in the neck of Regressives as President Obama's beatdown of Romney shows.

A 45 year old man who is a Republican has just wasted 45 years of his life.

Wrong...and wrong with remarkable consistency.

Annoying because literally every post you put on this forum is so aggressive and hyperpartisan that it is almost nauseating to read. You clearly have some sort of compensation issue going on. But then again that is fairly typical of internet tough guy types which I presume you are.

People like you are the reason this country is quickly turning into a sh*t hole. You are no better than Mitch McConnell or John Boehner but I'd wager you feel so enlightened and advanced that you'll lack the ability to comprehend that criticism. All you, and those like you, do is spew your god-awful vitriol everywhere you go. People in the middle are the ones that have opinions worth listening to. You and every politician that thinks like you, whether they be on the right or the left, are the real reason this country is collapsing into itself from ineptitude and gridlock. The shame is that you people are burning the rope at both ends and are too goddamn stupid to know that YOU ARE the problem.
