[txprog]

Check this out:

And this:



Try and explain that to your African American "brothers."

How about Joe Paterno - "George W Bush is the greatest President ever" - for VP?

Good luck sucker....

1. I am getting ill...........brb

[OhioChick]

2. ...........And to think that I used to really

like him when he played for the Steelers back in the day.

[papercut]

4. Clearly he took a few too many hits

to his head.

[Sewsojm]

5. I was steeler fan too,

but now I wish they had lost every game he ever played in, the amount of sorrow * has brought to America just knows no bounds!!

[meegbear]

3. Um .... no

The son of Democrats is an African-American Republican

[napi21]

6. Yea, and I'm an old Steeler Dynasty fan!!!

I know Swanie was one of my favorites back then. I really wish he never would have tried to get into politics!

[gauguin57]

7. First, he's challenging Ed Rendell for Gov. of PA.

Fast Eddie has had his problems in my state, but let's not go off the deep end and elect a freaking Republican football player governor of a major blue state!

[napi21]

11. I thought Rendell was a pretty popular Governer.

Is it even possible that Swanie could come close?

BTW, I lived in PGH for 46 years, and still miss my Steelers! I always watch them (the very few times they're broadcast in the South!) or listen to their game on Fieldpass via the net.

[OneGrassRoot]

13. Another Steel Curtain fan here......those were the days n/t

[marmar]

8. He took too many hits in his wide receiver days, methinks...

I can barely watch pro football these days because the broadcasts just ooze pro-Republicanism.

[qanda]

9. He's disgusting!!!!

Born and raised a Pittsburgher and am ashamed to say that I ever liked him.

[Double T]

10. NAUSEATING!!!!!!

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

12. Joe Paterno is an asswipe.

Another reason for me to hate Penn State.:evilgrin:

As for Swann, he is trailing 2 other Repubs in the polls...won't get through the primary. Stick to football commentary, dude.

[mzteris]

14. aww cr@p.........

I always liked him, too.

He's a republican? Say it ain't so!

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. When did JoePa say "George W Bush is the greatest President ever?"

Or are you just putting words in his mouth?

[txprog]

17. During the campaign last year

at a rally for the murder monkey he absolutely spoke those words. Disappointing. I have always been a Penn State football fan but I will root for them no more until Paterno retires.

[Freddie Stubbs]

21. Do you have a link to back that up?

:shrug:

[kittenpants]

22. here's a link... the quote is a tiny bit different

This is the exact quote--
Joe Paterno himself introduced Bush at an evening rally at the York Expo Center, calling him "one of the great presidents of our time."

Joe Pa also greated Bush at the airport and rode in the limosuine with his hero.

16. Who needs Swann

I'd rather remember Franco Harris!

[theHandpuppet]

18. Read it and weep, sports fans

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2004-10-27-campaign-players_x.htm

Once players start making the big money they suddenly become Republicans. I have no other explanation for it.

[KamaAina]

19. Swann campaign platform: "The Immaculate Deception"

apologies to Franco Harris who is a good Dem.

[spuddonna]

20. Maybe we could get Franco Harris to run against him?

Franco came out in Pgh to support Kerry. I have no idea if he has any political ambitions, but I know he's a supporter! :)
