Good ol' lib tolerance from EC. Nope, sounds like his business is booming thanks to denying our mental midget VP. Good for him for exercising his right as a business owner.

I wonder which part of this whole thing bugs you? His success, his telling Biden to push off, or his denial of your messiah, The One?

Good for him. I think it's fantastic that ignorant people that don't get the context of quotes can still have success in life. It's just a shame for them that the policymakers they don't like will be reelected.

The Vice President is a public servant.

We pay his generous salary and benefits.

In other words, he works for us...not the other way around.

If he feels offended, he can always resign.

I would encourage him and our Communist community agitator president to do so.

In order to get respect, you need to give respect. Biden and his boss have not earned the respect of many in this country. How hard is that to see? In fact, many of us are tired of the smug, condescending attitude of these guys who prey on the weak minded people who buy into their nonsense and sing their praises. Sorry, but the time for respect for these two passed a long, long time ago.

Really?

Try filing a complaint.

I think it's clear that what was most annoying about this particular business owner was his desire for bragging rights because he refused the Vice President's offer. You really think he didn't want publicity? LOL Nothing "pure" about that particular business owner. the Btw, when did business owners in this country become such gods to so many people? Does you adoration for business owners extend to those business owners in the porn industry, for example?

After making a post like you made above, you certainly shouldn't be touting conservative tolerance anywhere any time soon, WinterNight.

Obviously respect is something you know nothing about....do you think if you tried just a little bit harder you could be more patronizing and insulting to the majority of people in this country who voted for and support Obama? "Weak minded people"....I'd suggest it is you who is weak minded since you've bought into the repeated right-wing fringe BS about Obama.

How about you try calling his office and giving him some "supervisory" direction. See how far that gets you, since you're so confident he works for "you."

Which makes the story that much more endearing ..
