Any information on why he lost his previous job? or left it?

Anyone who didn't vote for President Obama deserves to be unemployed.

C'mon Rick. You're smarter than that.

We all take advantage of things that are against our political views especially when we have little other choice.

He's a douchebag for other reasons but I can't fault a guy for taking a job.

Ok. I will take the bait.

I'm not d-bagging him for taking a job. Gotta feed the kids, Chicago. This guy went on a media tour to trash President Obama, because his policies kept ol' Joe from following his dream, starting up his plumbing company. He even wrote a book about it. If this guy was such a skilled plumber, why isn't he plumbing? Why isn't he sticking to his values? He is a big phony douchebag, hence the nomination.

The fact that Mr. anti-union, anti-Obama took a union job with a company saved by Obama's horrible policies, is a huge plate of irony, that I find to be delicious.

You seem to be nominating him for joining a union even though he was anti-union. I'm sure if he had other options he would. However, he clearly doesn't.

I'm sure you benefited from some Republican policies in the last 10 years too.

Forgot about that. Now that was a stimulus after 9/11. Give everyone $300 a couple times and watch them go spend and stimulate. It worked.

You're way smarter than this.

Cutting taxes and dramatically increasing spending is the right way to go?

Where did I say the above?

Maybe you aren't smarter than that.

Bush's policies had no effect on the economy that tanked on his watch?

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue?

That makes two of us.

Yeah.

I think we're on the same page, or in the same chapter.

No.

Or blow millions on green battery companies, solar panels and bankers that all fuck you.

I see a difference.

Tax policy was peripheral, deficit spending is what is always was.

The reasons for the collapse go far deeper than "Bush cut taxes and spent a lot!"
