I was just on the phone with Rhett a few minutes ago to iron out the details of the Shcaitberger/Biden visit. Rhett had just received word from the IAFF that the event is now CANCELLED due to unforseen circumstances. Rhett wanted me to post this comment to inform members about the event cancellation.
I'd still love to have one of those shirts....
FOR ME TO POOP ON!
Don't you mean IAFF General President Harold Shcaitberger?
Can we get some firefighters for McCain shirts.
"Can we get some firefighters for McCain shirts."
Please!?
It is because no intelligent firefighter would vote for John McCain.
Obama is associated with known terrorists, plans to raise your taxes to fund social programs like welfare, and plans to cut the military. Biden has admitted that he wants to take your income that he determines that you do not need and give it to those who make less money.
They both say it is not fair for you to have more money than others. Go ahead and vote for them, but do not cry when your taxes go up and income goes down.
Let's see here, democratic governor, democratic senate, democratic house of representatives = Still no collective bargaining!
Thank you!Don't forget the fact that Obama stated that he would have Biden sit in on all matters while he's can get on the job training. Like Biden stated "he's not ready for the job of President".If he gets elected I'll be clinging to my guns and religion!
You guys complain all the time about your admin. and how stations are closing, positions being lost but yet you still want someone like Bush in the White House. While your insurance keep going up and it cost more and more to fill your gas tank and your fat stomachs, remember that you wanted Bush in the White House and now you wish for someone just like him to replace him. Next time you post you should say how stupid you are for your vote.
As for Obama raising your taxes, I didn't know that the city paid you so much since under Obama's plan taxes will only go up for people making more than $250,000.
But you will just vote for Mccain and watch the ecomony get worst and jobs get lost and then you will get on here and complain that they are closing stations, and shutting down engines. In fact it is your vote that is doing this.
So don't blame Hoback or anyone else, look in the mirror and blame yourself
you guys are exactly right. Look at welfare and guns. Dont even think about firefighter issues. Lord only knows everything is just peachy. I agree, what we need is a few more years in the direction we've been heading...Hell, Im rolling in it
You're right lets look at the fine Demacratic Congress we got and all they have done. Hopefully I can get one of those Palestinian t-shirts to make it all better.
Lets not forget that the economy was doing pretty good until two years ago.... I wonder what could have happened two years ago that would have changed everything?
THATS RIGHT! "We" elected a Democratic Congress.....
As far as the previous democratic budget surplus goes, do not forget that in Sept 2001 two airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center Towers. A huge amount of tax money is being spent to fight terrorists overseas so we don't have to fight them in the U.S. It cost big bucks to keep our country safe. This is something we never had to worry about in the past. Yea we have a budget deficit, but the United States is a little bit safer than it used to be and that costs big money!
Gas prices have been going up since 04, when the republicans had control. Bush has this thing called veto power that he is not scared to use. But this is not about republican vs democratic its bout who has the better vision for the country. If you think that Mccain is better thats your right just stop all the crying about your station closing and losing engines because the economy will continue going down and your department heads will continue to make cuts.
Mccain is not going to make you more safe than any other person as President.
That's right, I think we should all vote for Obama, we will get new engines and increase manpower. Of course they will be replacing the ones that get blown up by the terrorists. They will have free rein if we tuck tail and run in Iraq.
McCain isn't going to make you any more safer than any other president? Are you kidding? Have you forgot he was a POW and all the years of service he has given to his country? How much military time has Obama served? Uh, Yeah.. none. And helping out his terriorist neighbor doesn't count as military service time. That's right.. he's been in the Senate for four years.. how many pieces of legislation has he past? You need to check your facts. I haven't heard Obama come up with one plan to really do anything. He is either agreeing with McCain, consulting with his 300 advisors plus his Vice President that is sitting right beside him holding his hand with every decision because Biden even said he was inexperienced. SO.. how am I suppose to feel safer? How is he cutting oil/gas prices? Oh, that's right.. no one really knows because he doesn't either. Here is some good reading for you: The Obama Nation. Get to know your so called "beloved president who is going to save all firemen and the world" That is if his "peeps" don't bomb us again first.
The only thing that matters about firfighter issues is your local and state government elections. The president hasn't vetoed anything about collective bargaining, it hasn't made it that far. It doesn't matter who you want as president, the state government is what makes those decisions. And currently there is a majority democratic legislation and the collective bargaining bill still hasn't passed. So sit back and continue to complain anonymously because nothings going to change because neither the local or the state unions have any strength. Until the bickering stops and you come together as a "brotherhood" .... excuse me while I laugh...... go ahead and get you a shirt that says welcome, because your going to continue to get walked on.
Hey guns and religion,
Go ahead and vote for McCain, and your guns and religion. McCain will continue Bush's stupid plan and tanks the economy. After you lose your job, then you can pray that someone will buy your guns so you can put some food on the table.
Idiot!
OK, for arguments sake, can you explain to us "idiots" what Hussein Obama plans to do that is so great?
Well, seeing that you called him Hussein Obama, it automatically makes you a bigot, and too ignorant to respond to. I abhor trying to explain things to people too ignorant and backward to understand it.
But, to put in words that your feeble mind might understand; explaining things to you is like trying to teach a pig to sing. It would just be a waste of my time.
Just like your great canidate you can't explain anything! The comment made about begin a "bigot"... isn't that his name or are saying if you use a persons middle name your a "bigot"? Give me a break and grow up!Why do we always have to go there? If thats your rebuttal,it explains why you're voting for him.You're as politically ignorant as he is!Obviously you don't know anything about politics and you need get your headout your ass! I'll pray for you while cleaning my guns! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
The reason that I believe most normal, sensible, and intelligent people will vote McCain is not because he is going to save us all. I really think that most of us are aware of the fact that not much will change drastically for the better, anytime soon. However, voting for the lesser of the two evils will definately keep things from deteriorating more and soon go to hell in a handbasket. Let's face it: McCain voted for the refined bailout bill as well. He's a liar and contradicts himself just like all other politicians. BUT-if Barak HUSSEIN Obama gets into office, it certainly opens a hell of a lot of DANGEROUS windows. If he is elected-mark my words- we WILL fight terrorism on our OWN soil. Who knows, he may even invite all the terrorists that he went to school with and who bought his house for him over for a cute little campout and roast some marshmellows, while singing Kumbiya and talking things out.
Next, How can Obama honestly believe that we, as a nation, are so stupid to believe that while he's not raising any of our taxes, medical care will be provided to those who cannot afford it (ie. the deadbeats that you all sit here and complain about day in and day out, and the ILLEGALS coming in across our boarders). Don't get me wrong, my bills suck too-I have bills that I cannot afford to pay. But, do you know what will happen? Look at it locally. If you go to Carilion and don't have insurance, Carilion writes your bill off on their taxes. However those of us that do have insurance, however shitty it is, gets to pay 3x the cost of what the bill should be, because they have to make up the difference somehow. Now, while I have no problem assisting those who cannot work due to TRUE dissability, or those who have immigrated here and have gone through the proper red tape to become a citizen, or those who need welfare because they are single moms and the dads have left her to raise her kids alone while working and going to school to better her career, etc... I do have problem paying for those who don't do their part to take care of themselves. I can't even pay for my own kids to go to college, yet I'm expected to help others go. Aside from all of the Firefighter Issues (because even if Obama gets in Office-HE doesn't have the power to change them..and even if he did, do you honestly believe that with all of the other things going on, he's going to say "Oh...I almost forgot...I promised those firefighter guysand girls that I'd make their life a little easier just so I could get their vote. Guess I'd better stick to my word..") What it boils down to are:
1.) Are you going to vote for someone who believes that what little pay check you get should be given to others so that they can have free medical care, insurance, housing while they're here selling the drugs and guns brought from their country to our children, then taking the money back to their country and giving it to the druglords who are hanging out with the terrorists and getting high and teaching thier children to hate us
or 2.) are you going to vote for the other guy?
And to add insult to injury, Hussien Obama has stated numerous times that he will give a tax cut to over 94% of all Americans. News flash....! Only about 62% of Americans pay taxes. Check it out for yourself.

Barry Hussien Obama plans to simply give our hard earned tax dollars away to those that do not even pay taxes. Just to get their vote. Just another scum bag politician! SO, yea I can see why some folks would vote for him. Free money! Give me my free money and I will vote for you Hussien Obama.
The difference between McCain and Obama is like the difference between Peanuts and Walnuts, they look differant, taste differant, but they are still NUTS!
Wow. You all need to get a life. Doesnt matter who you vote for things will stay the same. To get into a political argument is for buffoons.
