Sarah Palin is stumping in Leesburg with Woodbridge’s very own Tito the Builder on her right. Is this the Republicans’ new ‘right hand man?’
They are up chanting ‘Use your brain, Vote McCain.’
Now they are chanting ‘I am Joe, I am Joe!’ Don’t they know their man Tito is right there?
Ahhh!
Tito has been recognized and introduced. He is now the the topic of conversation. Sarah Palin tells his story. Tito Tito Tito! Tito says he was born in Colombia but made in the USA. He owns a small construction company. Tito really lives in Woodbridge so he is our own homegrown icon.
He is truly the Republican icon now. He remained on the stage with Sarah Palin throughout the speech.
Live from Leesburg….
2 PM
Addendum…make that A-ddendum. Tito also warmed up the crowd at the Leesburg rally this morning. He introduced Sarah Palin and First Dude to the enthusiastic crowd of cheering supporters.
Tito the Builder has risen in the ranks from outside the McCoart Building to introducing the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States. Si se puedo! Amazing that Tito was chosen for this honor rather than the BOCS chair who purportedly
brought the McCain/Palin Campaign to Prince William County.
You betcha!
Check out the job done by Tito!
I can’t wait for Tito the Builder bobble-head dolls to hit Ebay. Maybe I can get a collector set, Palin, McCain and Tito.
Look out Tito, Obama and his buddies are now going to do a full investigation on you just like they did on Joe the Plumber. Question Obama… get investigated. I would hate to see what a President Obama does when someone questions him. Now you also have the Obama/Biden campaign boycotting an Orlando news station because they asked some tough questions. Scary…
Ivan, maybe we can start a Tito franchise?
Hello, Maybe Corey will get him first. I am sure he will want to check to make sure he isn’t an ‘illegal.’
The difference is Moon-howler that Corey has never done a full investigation of someone at a BOCS meeting for questioning him, Obama has.
Are you sure Obama did that investigation or did the press do it? It is my understanding that the press did that….and the press is the press. They are brutal and unrelenting, regardless of who you are. I would have to see some proof that all the hype about Joe was Obama driven rather than press driven.
I do know that Corey has certain called in the cops on people who have questioned him. Perhaps that is the Prince William County version of unleashing the hounds.
Corey doesn’t even investigate his own appointees!!!
Nah, Corey doesn’t investigate. He just tries to throw citizens he doesn’t like out of public meetings.
Moon-howler, if it was only the press that did it then why did his running mate Joe Biden talk about Joe and about all of the things found in the investigation at a rally and in other interviews? Hmmm, maybe because the Obama/Biden campaign wanted to discredit a guy who asked an honest question?
If this is what they do when their campaigning I hate to think of what they might do in office, it’s not a good sign.
Hello, Joe the Plumber inserted himself into Obama’s campaign; John McCain picked up on Joe’s tax question and beat it to death during the debate; and McCain and Palin have beaten Joe’s presumed tax status to death on the campaign trail. As soon as McCain used Joe as an example of tax reform during the debate, it was obvious fodder for the press. Would Joe be better off with Obama’s or McCain’s plan? The next step, of course, would be a look at Joe’s finances. Why aren’t Republicans blaming McCain for highlighting, spotlighting, and using Joe’s tax status for their advantage? Couldn’t they find an average working class American man or woman whose taxes or finances could bear scrutiny? Maybe Tito’s finances are in better shape.
Hello, I am assuming you are a McCain/Palin supporter? I am assuming Joe Biden talked about Joe the Plumber because he( Joe B) can read. The Republicans made Joe the icon for a while as the ‘average Joe.’ He was a instant household word. Why not talk about him.
As for honest questions, that Orlando reporter was not asking an honest question. It was incendiary and stupid, in my opinion. I would have handled it as Joe Biden did. Interview over.
Maybe we should do a little retro and go back to all the snooping around that was done on Bill Clinton. Now I wonder who did all that? Democrats? Noooooooo.
Hi Censored, McCain using Joe in his campaign and talking about what he might pay in taxes under Obama does not compare to Joe being investigated. I do agree with you that the Joe reference was used way to much in the debate, I even told my wife that while we were watching. However, does that give the green light for him to be investigated and for the Obama/Biden ticket to use the information in an attempt to discredit the man?
Moon-howler, yes, I’m a McCain/Palin supporter. I’m not following your explanation of Joe B’s attempt to discredit Joe P as because Joe B can read. As for the interview, so you don’t see anything wrong with boycotting reporters or news organizations because they asked you what you perceived to be “incendiary or stupid” questions. If so then what’s next, ban any and all who dare question you? No wonder the only interview that Obama has done in over a month was with A.C. Slater on Extra. Yeah, some tough questions coming from there all right.
Moon-howler said “Maybe we should do a little retro and go back to all the snooping around that was done on Bill Clinton. Now I wonder who did all that? Democrats? Noooooooo”
Your joking right, how does an investigation into Clinton who lied about having sex in the White House with and intern equate to an investigation of an average citizen who just happen to ask Obama a question? I can see presidents being investigated when there is wrong doing, but investigating everyday citizens for questioning authority?
http://www.gainesville-times.com/news/2008/oct/21/stewart-disappointed-mccain-illegal-immigration/
I know this is off topic, but did anyone see this article in last Tuesday’s Gainesville Times? Could Corey be more of an ego maniac? It is clear that he was pissed that no one from the McCain camp came to kiss his ring so he is basically telling them to kiss something else of his.
All he got was introduced to the crowd. Wow! Cry me a river! Hey Corey, the rally wasn’t about you. And McCain didn’t talk about immigration because it isn’t a central campaign issue anymore. Everyone gets that but you.
Oh AnoniMom, you have made my day. Ho ho ho.
Not only did McCain not talk about immigration, he chose an Hispanic Republican out of the crowd for his icon. Tito the Builder. I bet they didn’t even ask Tito if he was an ‘illegal,’
The bottom line is Senator McCain is sharper than Corey and realizes that the illegal immigration issue is not a winning topic. Plus, Senator McCain didn’t have Greg as his handler.
Now picture this: Greg up on stage with McCain or Palin? Tito up on stage with McCain or Palin?
Which scene do YOU think is going to win more votes?
Bwwwwaaaahahahahaha
Moon-howler- glad to have brought a little sunshine in to your life on this gloomy day.
Hello, Actually I wasn’t referring to Clinton’s sex life in the White House but prior to that. But since you brought it up…..why is it anyone else’s business other than Hillary’s? If I asked you if you cheat on your wife, I would hope you would tell me you weren’t going to answer me and to mind my own blankety-blank business regardless of what the answer is. Furthermore, I bet if I went and asked 100 random people if they cheated on their spouse, they would either tell me to mind my own business or some variation of No.
I just don’t think other people’s sex lives are any of my business. Am I unusually NON-nosey here?
And on to the question banning. Both candidates have refused interviews with reporters and commentators that displeased them. I have no problem with either campaign doing this. And for the record, I recently saw Obama doing an interview with Bill O’Reilly. Did I just imagine that?
Hello, I really do try to be fair to both ‘sides’ and to base my voting decisions on the facts and positions, not that old ‘someone done someone wrong’ type of politics. I have heard more moaning, pissing, bitching and groaning out of Republicans this go-round. If the Obama folks are doing it, it just isn’t reaching my ears and thank goodness for that.
MH,
Or better yet, if Tito was once an “illegal” but was able to adjust his status as used to happen, but now is simply labeled “amnesty”.
Thanks AnoniMom,
Thanks! It worked. And I thought your comment was very much ON topic. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Twinad, oh yes, good old ‘amnesty.’ I bet that word didn’t pass the McCain/Palin campaign’s lips! Sweet irony!
I am certainly glad that of all the self-hypnotized fanatics who appear in these Palin/McCain rally videos, the one person of color is the least embarrassingly insane. Sure, he thinks Obama is a “socialist” but otherwise he seems to have a grasp on reality despite the bubble of denial he is living in. Go Tito!
AnoniMom, just saw your article, and thanks. Corey Stewart, is the great uniter of Prince William County: Everyone with any amount of political and social awareness agrees the man is a idiot, a carpetbagger, a hate-monger, and a liar. Corey Stewart couldn’t hold John McCain’s jock strap. For him to criticize McCain for passing the bigotry test is just flat wrong. Bigotry is not the future of the Republican party; it’s the past.
Hello, Joe would have had no problems had he not gone over to meet Obama. His problems came from McCain keeping the focus on him. Naturally the press will follow up – particularly on the question of whose plan would benefit Joe the most.
Tito better have his papers in order!!! I smell a Gospel Greg mission to make sure he’s here legally. You know that GG would call in the hounds if Tito had endorsed Obama.
Odd, the only people I’ve ever heard question Tito’s status is people here.
Hello, I question it in fun knowing that the darkside would question it in reality.
Has “the darkside” questioned it?
Tito is welcome to express for McCain or Obama or any candidate he wishes to, REGARDLESS of his immigration status. There are polls asking the opinions of people all over the world. No one has any objection to people voicing their opinion.
It’s just that in PWC, we are still scarred and divided from a period of insanity when everything was a witch hunt to find “aliens” and “illegals” and “aiders and abettors,” where the status and even the thoughts of any person could be attacked.
In case you haven’t caught the drift, Hello, we weren’t too happy about that kind of hysteria taking over our county. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make a joke at your expense! (=
@ hello
Don’t you love the irony?
But if you think they’ll ever see their own hypocrisy, forget it. Your keystrokes are wasted here.
Hello, did you have razor oatmeal this morning? You are certainly fractious.
No one here has questioned his status. Stop making things up. I mentioned I was surprised others have not. But then again, I haven’t seen anyone else in Prince William County focus on Tito the Builder. In fact, I have not even seen him mentioned in any blog or in any newspaper.
Is John McCain’s brother named Joe also?
Joe the 9/11 Caller To Complain About Traffic Law Breaker
http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/1008/563913_video.html?ref=newsstory
When the operator asked him, “Are you calling 9-11 to complain about traffic?”
Joe McCain said “f*uck you” and hung up.
Later, he called back to swear at our emergency responders some more.
My question is, What was Joe McCain doing driving in Communist Country?
Hi NGL, I agree 100% with what you said about everyone being welcome to express their opinion but I’m not quite sure what you meant by “make a joke at your expense!”? At my expense? I don’t get it…
Moon-howler, I don’t think I’m being particularly fractious today, however, I suppose if having a differing opinion than you is being fractious than I suppose I may be.
So, Mando, if Tito had endorsed Obama instead of McCain, what would your fingers be typing on the darkside?
A better question would be why the brother of Barrack Obama is living in a shack on $2/month.
I guess only some of us are our brothers keepers.
Socialists want more of my money to help the poor but can’t even fork over a couple of bucks of their mega-millions to help their own brother living in total poverty… Go figure.
NGL, I heard on tv that poor old Joe McCain said he was quitting the campaign after that. He did apologize. I can almost sympathize with the poor old guy…I mean after all, it was traffic. And yes, that is John’s brother. He is the guy with Gilmore in a picture on here posted about 3 weeks ago.
Mando, I don’t know why your feel your keystrokes are wasted. I have already said this is a bi-partisan blog. The owner is a Republican. I am an independent. Censored is an independent. WHWN is a Republican. AnoniMom appears to be a Republican. NGL is a Democrat. Some folks who post here are still undecided. I am trying to give both campaigns recognition. I am highlighting Tito the PWC Builder. And no one is blaming anyone specific for the vandalism. Nothing in life is really fair and balanced but we are attempting to be. Does that count for something?
We don’t do the amen chorus like on the darkside mainly because we all are coming from different political points of view, and yes, different neighborhoods.
Non-union workers don’t endorse Obama.
“We don’t do the amen chorus”
I’d say both blogs are about equal as far as the amen chorus.
“have already said this is a bi-partisan blog.”
This blog has a VERY liberal slant. Take a poll on whom each of your regulars are voting for.
That seems to be a touchy subject Mando, I said in another thread that there doesn’t seem to be as many Republicans on this site as portrayed and got pounced on insinuating that I was somehow calling everyone a liar. However, I will say that Alanna agreed with me in a previous thread when I wrote about why I’m voting for McCain. Thanks Alanna 🙂
I believe I said I hope it can be shown that Tito was once an “illegal” but now is here with legal status. I don’t see anything hypocritical about that at all! It would prove the point that an “illegal” can become a productive member of society and are not criminals. I guess you mean that if an “illegal” has adjusted their status and now votes as a Democrat that they are not welcome, but if they vote Repub, all is well? No hard feelings?
Given that everyone not in a union is a non-union worker, does that mean that no non-union workers endorse Obama? Are you going to qualify your statement? Workers in particular trades? Otherwise, I wouldn’t let my fingers type such a broad statement.
Biden at it again… has now ban 2 stations from any further interviews (this one in Philly) because he was asked about the 2 million campaign dollars he has given to companies owned or run by his family members. 🙁 won’t anyone give old Biden a break, pretty soon he is going to run out of news stations to ban.
This just goes to show that if you dare question Obama or Biden on something that they don’t want to talk about (or something that they themselves have said) your either going to be banned or investigated. What’s next?
sorry, here is the link… http://www.breitbart.tv/html/206633.html
@hello
The machine is fully funded and well oiled. The pills have been swallowed. The hangover won’t begin until 2009.
Reality can wait until it’s too late to do anything about it. Obama is as left as they come. Figuring out why people haven’t looked under that rock is beyond me.
Mando, if you “take a poll and see who our regulars are voting for,” it would probably match up with the rest of the county, the rest of the Commonwealth and the rest of the nation.
That’s what happens when you allow free speech. The better ideas rise to the surface. If you only wish to be confronted with Freedom Fry Voters (with all others censored by the King Freedom Fry Voter) I recommend the other blog.
Mando,
Regarding the amen chorus–some of us might agree with each other…like Hello and I both told Ivan he had made a very funny comment, but we don’t actually say ‘Amen.’ (unless someone was mimicking)
As for a disavowed brother of Obama, I don’t know what you are talking about. I had heard his father practiced polygamy. (parallel, not sequential) However, how about Cindy McCain’s 2 half sisters that were not in the multimillionaire will and who are not acknowledged? And they aren’t even in Washingon.
Has it been confirmed that Tito really is from Woodbridge? I’m just wondering how a random guy suddenly gets on stage with the Presidential candidate and gets to introduce the Vice President candidate. These things are carefully scripted.
I just saw Tito interviewed on Univision in Spanish. They said nothing about who he really is or anything personal. I was watching to see if I could detect a fake, but that wasn’t obvious. He said that he favors McCain because McCain supports the free trade agreements that benefit Colombia, Mexico and other countries, which could be legitimate. The newsperson said Tito also favors comprehensive immigration reform, and expects McCain to come through on that.
However, pending confirmation from a known source that Tito is who he says he is, I still feel suspicious.
My goodness, all the dirt is coming up now. I think David Letterman should do a “Top ten irrelevant things brought up by the McCain campaign to avoid offering a sound solution to update our approach the 21st century global economy” list.
