The McMahon's are why I remain pro-choice.

[Pirate Smile]

1. Tough luck, Vince. Deal with it.

[SargeUNN]

2. Vince is a crook

He is a symbol for everything that is bad about our nation and his WWE is part of the cancer that has made our nation to embrace hate.

[Dawson Leery]

3. +1,000,000,000

[Sta au]

5. What's he done?

I don't keep up with the news on anything with WWE.

[Dawson Leery]

6. Gives his performers steroids,

and let's them die afterwards.

[Kurska]

9. The WWE has a stringent drug testing policy. n/t

[unblock]

12. what's that, only those who test positive for steroids can participate?

:rofl:

[LLStarks]

15. In 2007, at least 10 superstars, including Mr. Kennedy, were suspended for steroid use.

Stop being a smartass.

[Hawkeye-X]

19. For show

There has been several deaths related to drug use since 2007.

Chris Benoit comes to mind.
Test (Andrew Martin) is another.

[unblock]

25. wwe has a HUGE economic interest in the display of bulked up masculinity

as do the "stars" themselves. of course they're going to have a policy and occassional enforcement of it. but they're certainly not going to squelch it entirely, far from it.

how eager was professional baseball to squelch steroid use? they tolerated it for a long time and only when the scandal and outrage became too much did they, maybe, appear to start to sort of take it seriously.

wwe on the other hand thrives on scandal and outrage and controversy, so i don't see any kind of reform coming soon.

so, please, stop being a naif.

[Hawkeye-X]

18. Their testing policy is self-regulated

It's a joke.

If WWE is serious about their steroid policy (which they aren't) - they would have kicked out 90% of their wrestlers already.

[Dawson Leery]

32. Vince has refused to disclose exactly

how they go about 'testing' their performers for enhancement drugs. At the same time, the WWE's performers are still physically massive, suggesting that the usage of steroids is still rampant.

4. where does he "demand" anything

I couldn't get the last article to load

[Bitwit1234]

7. That's what I got to say

so the republicans can lambaste President Obama for no good reason. Print horrendous signs and pictures about him and Pelosi and Reid, have his picture smeared in cartoon all over a carnival with people throwing darts at it, but they are not to speak ill of his piece of crap wife and his business. Gee again....the definition of a CONservative says they think they have the divine right.

[davidinalameda]

8. so all that makes it okay to use misleading and untruthful language

against our opponents?

so that makes us no better that the republicans

[SmileyRose]

10. Actually I'd think the hyjinks of the WWE would work in her favor.

Everything about the WWE is about making a fast buck TODAY. Long term consequences have never been considered. Clearly NO ONE in the organization was adult enough to think twice about having "a monster" simulate sex with a dead teenager. These people will fit right in with the Republican hoard when they get to Washington DC.

[LLStarks]

14. The Katie Vick skit is unanimously known as the worst skit in WWE history. Don't harp on it. nt

[SpiralHawk]

11. A whiner. Gotta be a Republicon chickenhawk

The type is all too well known by Americans.

[LLStarks]

13. The WWE, past or present, is a non-issue. Stick to the real issues in the election. nt

[Metric System]

17. The treatment of their employees is highly irrelevant. Do the people of Connecticut want someone

representing them who has had a history of looking out for herself and her family first?

[LLStarks]

20. Do not confuse the stupidity of select wrestlers with how she ran the company. nt

Most deaths have been due to drug or alcohol overdoses, not head trauma.

[The Magistrate]

23. Honestly, Sir: She Kills Men For Profit And Pleasure! Is This What Voters Want In Our Senate?

[PM Martin]

24. +1,000,000,000

[LLStarks]

26. Suggesting that she enjoys having employees die is a gross, unnecessary projection. nt

[The Magistrate]

30. She Kills Men For Profit And Pleasure, Sir, and Uses the Proceeds To Run For The Senate

Voters in Connecticut will understand even if you seem not to....

[Metric System]

31. The WWE created an environment that encouraged steroid abuse. Only those with large builds and huge

muscles were pushed to the top. Things may have changed in recent years, but the bulk of the McMahons' fortune was amassed during the period when drug testing was nonexistent in the company. Frankly, I've heard their current drug testing program leaves a lot to be desired, with the bigger stars given more leniency.

[gratuitous]

21. She's spent several million dollars of her own money

A self-financed campaign invites scrutiny on just how that money was "earned." I'd call that an issue, because without a vast personal fortune, Ms. McMahon would never have been a serious candidate.

[Iggo]

16. The WWE is a death machine.

:P

[PM Martin]

22. The McMahon's treatment of their workers is very relevant.

The McMahon's abused their workers, then threw them to the curb when they needed healthcare.
In a similar respect, Ms. McMahon wants to repeal the new health care reform law that was passed in the spring, denying
health coverage to working class people and children.

[era veteran]

27. Vince's own use of steroids fucked up his mind

some more. Killing employees for profit.

[annabanana]

28. Does that mean we can't use the footage of her kicking some guy

in the 'nads?

Stop whining Vnce.

[Phil The Cat]

29. WWE = Straight people cheering live Gay Porn

The irony is delicious! People who are otherwise homophobes getting excited when barely clothed hunks grab and hold each other!
