CHILDREN, CHILDREN PLEASE, QUIET DOWN!


Let me blow the dust off this tired old wrinkled page from the Republican playbook. Once again, because THEY HAVE NOTHING! The Neo Cons have once again taken to attacking the President on flying AIR FORCE ONE. No, not the movie with Harrison Ford, but the actual BLACK PRESIDENT who uses it now to KICK MUCH REPUBLICAN BUMBLING ASSES! First they reached around and pulled made up figures to show how much TAX PAYER MONEY former Speaker, Nancy Pelousi was wasting flying back home to San Francisco, on her government provided plane. Then they attacked the first lady for doing FIRST LADY business, and basically claimed she should be flying coach as she wasted BILLIONS OF TAX PAYER BUCKS. Then, they hit the floors of hell, buy attacking President Obama for actually having the nerve to use the 747 AIR FORCE ONE, the plane RONALD REAGAN bought at tax payer expense, to do that very wasteful, PRESIDENTIAL BUSINESS across the globe and nation. They brought back, the out of the ass, made up price tag for that one too. But now that the PRESIDENT is kicking USELESS REPUBLICAN TAIL, to educate the public on how pathetic the neo cons are, they CAN'T STAND IT! Karl Rove said "this President has crossed the line using this plane to campaign at the tax payers expense"! OH MY GOD, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!!!!! Of course!!!!!!!!!!! And of course no president has ever taken that plane to oh let's say CRAWFORD TEXAS, or for a photo opt in New Orleans to tell Brownie how great he was doing. Yes folks, what President 44 is doing, is totally against the morals of the Republicans . OPPS I FORGOT, THEY HAVE NO MORALS OR SOULS!

Now there is six months to go before the election, and now that the dusty old sheet has been blown off, I'm pretty sure we'll see that play run again along with the Birther thing, the terrorist knuckle touch, THAT GHETTO BLACK thing he does, and whatever petty, racist, stupid thing they can rip from their cheeks. GOD, THEY SUCK! But I just wanna know, how many times can you beat this dead air force one plane gag, to death, Neo Cons? Republicans, the Ass Cracks of America, because man can they dig crap up!

Hey, he's using it for secret meetings with all 4 Black Panthers, IN KENYA, Fixed News!

After burning through 7 trillion and not getting a T shirt, these asshats want to bitch about spending money.....OMFG please go to the nearest cesspool and start eating. Im wating for Fux Newz to get an award for the best fiction series.

If he is using it for official WH business I have no problem, but if it is for re-election purposes then that is where they get the rub.

Horse crap. Airforce One is how the President gets around--for security reason, we don't want the POTUS taking a greyhound, and like every President before him, he has a right to campaign for his own office.

And the Republicans are campaigning for office with taxpayer dollars. Why should anyone be especially upset at the president for also doing so?

They know the president has no choice about the way he goes his security is paramont he is not even permited to drive a car The Republican don't want President to go far and tell the Citizens Who Republicans really Are since there candidate is so sub par And President Barack Obama is a Super Star.

He is the wrong color, I keep telling you guys, it makes their heads explode that a Black man is riding in Air Force One...

President Bush leaving a Las Vegas campaign event on Air Force One: August 2004.



EVERY President Has Campaigned Using Air Force One

I think it is the amount of times he is taking it out compared to other presidents. So far twice as much as Bush.

If the RNC knew of one single trip taken on Air Force One that was not for official purposes we'd all be hearing about it. But all they manage in that article is Rancid Penis whining about one flight to Florida where the official speech offered was "suspect".

And post-Citizen's United a doubling of fundraisers at this point in the game does not surprise me. Especially not if you are also going to toss in the last half of the Bush Admin and go that far back. The influence of money in our politics has risen greatly since then.

But what Plebian appears to be doing is conflating those two very different issues into one invalid smear. One which I again point out he is unable to substantiate or we'd be hearing all about it.

just once

On the day this thread went up I didn't understand the title. Today I don't understand the title.

I get the issue - hard to miss. Just more of the same hypocrisy and bullshit from Republicans understandably frustrated that they don't have nearly enough legitimate complaints. But WTF is the "DEAD AIR FORCE ONE GAG?"

And if anyone here CAN explain to this thick-headed idiot WTF the "DEAD AIR FORCE ONE GAG" is, perhaps you could then indicate for me where in the OP it is referenced, and where I should have recognized it as the "DEAD AIR FORCE ONE GAG."

Ha! I think the word "gag" may be a malapropism as it was used, but I kind of get it.

I think GAB means the gag is dead.

Okay, I'll put that hat on for this one

You have to break it up into 3 parts. DEAD/AIR FORCE ONE/GAG.

Starting with the 3rd part you can substitute GAG for 'talking point'. DEAD means tired or overused in this context. So DEAD AIR FORCE ONE GAG = tired, overused Air Force One talking point.
