New DCCC ad says Plummer “never had to work for anything”

Posted in:

* Have a look

* Script…

You don’t create jobs in Illinois by helping send jobs overseas.

But Jason Plummer signed a pledge that protected tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs

Plummer supports a plan to eliminate corporate taxes….

…and give another tax cut to millionaires like himself.

All while making the middle-class pay even more.

Jason Plummer’s never had to work for anything. What makes you think he’d work for you?

* Meanwhile, Plummer Tweeted this over the weekend

Our Fairview Heights Center is packed with volunteers on #SuperSaturday! Thanks for your support!

Maybe so, but he probably could’ve Tweeted a pic showing lots of volunteers

    With kindest personal regards,

    I remain,

    Oswego Willy”

  2. I like the guy in the front row talking on two phones at the same time. That takes talent.

  3. “OK, show of hands, who does NOT work for my Dad? Anyone?”

  4. ==Jason Plummer’s never had to work for anything==
    Ouch, that line has to hurt! I can just imagine daddy’s lil’ deduction crying and asking Papa Plummer to make the mean General stop.
    3-1 Odds that if those “volunteers” didn’t show up to the “victory” center on Saturday, they shouldn’t bother showing up to the lumbar yard on Monday.

  5. @FakeJasonPlummer - 2 is company, 3 is a crowd, and 8 is alot of Frosties I need to get for the volunteers. I like Ice Cream #YeahTreats!

    “I worked alot for everything I got. I worked at my High Scores on Original Pac Man, I worked at 1000 piece puzzles in my office-room thing at Dad’s work, heck I even worked on the railroad … all the live long day!”

    “I am a miilionaire, that is true, but that’s becuase my Dad is a multi-millionaire, got it?”

    “Again, someone explain this, I have all these Media Buys, and Media Buys … when can I buy enough Media so I don’t get my feelings hurt no more?”

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Wait, these volunteers are gonna get a big surprise, Dad is getting the Power Rangers to make calls for my Telethon next hour. Can u say ‘Awe-sum’ #BeingRichRocks

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Just missed Batman making calls from the back row. Camera Shy, Caped Crusader. #Halloweeeniscoming!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 4:21 pm

  6. @FakeJasonPlummer - Dissapointed in my Telethon; no Big Board to show all my money, no jugglers, no St. Louis Cardinal players bringing me checks. #Dadisnotbeingtookooltoday

    @FakeJasonPlummer - got yelled at during my Telethon. Was roasting marshmellows inside. Firepits must stay outside #smoresarehardtomake

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Last day for me here at my Telethon, gotta go walk … to the Pumpkin Patch! #ItsTheGreatPumpkinJasonPlummer!

    Good one Hail 4B

  8. Since he doesn’t release his taxes, are we sure he’s reducing taxes on himself? He could only make what Brad Schneider makes a year.

    Is the guy in the back helping the other one with how to dial the phone?

    Comment by OurMagician Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 4:39 pm

  9. @FakeJasonPlummer - Dad let me make a few calls. The voter asked if it was really me and if my fridge was running, and then I should catch it. Voters make no sense #Iamoverchasingmyfridge

    @FakeJasonPlummer - during my Telethon, I made some calls & got some good questions asked. Maybe I should find those people some answers! #Telethoningishard

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Voters are dumb. They keep asking Federal questions and I tell them its a National job in the Congress. Why do they mess that up all the time. #ReadtheDeclarationofConfederation!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - this is a picture of the last time I am allowed at my Telethon. #DadHatesWhenAllIDoIsOrderPizzas

    @FakeJasonPlummer - took this picture for my Dad. He said to get everyone in it for him #AttendanceIsMandatoryLikeInKollege

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 4:40 pm

  10. @FakeJasonPlummer - All the Telethon phones were being used when Dad and I went in. Funny, some rang while people were talking? #CallWaitingIsConfusing

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Took this picture with my SmartPhone. My Telethon has dumb phones. Gotta go the Apple Store with my gift cards and get some iPhones! #MyTelethonNeedsToBeSmart

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Look at the volunteers reading from the script I wrote. I added a few things, like Prizes! This is going to be the best Telethon ever #EveryoneGetsAPrize

    @FakeJasonPlummer - HEY! Mr. David Delaney @1224 Main St. Godfrey, IL. How do you like the 20 Pizzas I sent you? Next time take a yard sign when I ask! #TelethonPranksAreKool!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 4:51 pm

  11. @FakeJasonPLummer - I took a poll, 60% of the people calling from my Telethon are voting for me! ChaChing! #RackingUpTheVotes!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - These aren’t all the volunteers here. My Cub Scout Pack was getting juice and cookies. #KidsNeedTheirJuice

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Bummer. Guy in last row, 2 seats to the right was calling into Oswego. Getting closer, Willy! #IKnowYouLikeMeO.W.!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - I called my ole Uncle Bill Brady. Wished me luck on my Telethon and told me not to call back again. He wants me to keep my nose to the grindstone! #NotAHangupJustAFastClick

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 4:58 pm

  12. @FakeJasonPlummer - I want to thank all my friends for coming to my Telethon and calling. With every call, I get closer to my goal! #MovingOutForGoodWontBe ScaryThisTime

    @FakeJasonPlummer - I personally called Gen. Enyart’s House. I gave them a Prize anyway. #TelethonsShouldGiveTrophiesToEveryone

    @FakeJasonPlummer - I got yelled at again by Dad. #StopPrankCallingDadsHouse!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Telethons can lead to Love! #YouKnowIAmRich&RunningForCongressRight?

    @FakeJasonPlummer - To Mrs. Deavers, I am sorry I pranked you. Your cat is not my oven. #ThereAltonPoliceHappy?

    @FakeJasonPlummer - I did the math, & with 10 people calling, 12 calls an hour from the 10, my Telethon talks to a Bazillion voters an hour. #MathRulz

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:13 pm

  13. @FakeJasonPlummer - I got so confused, thought I heard a loud dial tone, turned out to be crickets. #ThePlaceIsPacked!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - My Telethon is hopping, only one person fell asleep between calls. #TheBackRow NeedsCaffene

    @FakeJasonPlummer - These people need to finsh this Telethon tonight. I got things to do! #SuperfriendsMarathonBaby!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - I left a voicemail for Gen. Enyart. #GoNavyBeatArmy

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:22 pm

  14. @FakeJasonPlummer - My new Vegas Friend asked when can he use the Phones from my Telethon for his work? #DontForgetTheVig!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Putting the phone number on each phone is fun. #CallingEachOtherIsNotChildish

    @FakeJasonPlummer - The script has the polling place on it to remind people. If I feel silly, I give them the address to Wrigley Field. #BluesBrothersMissionFromGod!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Tweeting this picture of my Hoppin’ Telethon. I want to say I am sorry I got everyone’s cars towed. #RedOnCurbIsNoParkingJason!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:36 pm

  15. @FakeJasonPlummer - Why do voters keep asking what I am wearing and if I like leather? Telethoning makes no sense sometimes. #900numbers

    @FakeJasonPlummer - hey @CapFax, I tried to call you, but got a series of beeps and tones and then paper came out of my printer! What is that all about? #DunnoWhereTheWordFaxCameFrom

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Dunno how these dumb phones work, but I think I just ordered 5 copies of P90X?! #PaulRyanWouldBeProud

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Got real mad at a voter, so I sang “I’m a Little Tea Pot” till they laughed. Telethoning shouldn’t be this hard #IAmNotAMonkey!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:44 pm

  16. Let’s just leave it at Jason Plummer never.

    Comment by Excessively Rabid Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:47 pm

    Comment by The General Sez Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 5:53 pm

  18. @FakeJasonPlummer - called @FakeOberwiesForSenate. Jim told me not to get to excited about winning. #BeenWhereYouAreNow

    @FakeJasonPlummer - Helping my Telethon! Just gave everyone pages from the St. Louis Mo. phonebook. Haven’t called MO yet! #AheadOfTheGame!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - When I get finished at my Telethon, I am changing my voicemail to make it seem like I can’t hear the caller & fool them to yell in the phone! #PhonesCanMakeYouSneaky!

    @FakeJasonPlummer - The Telethon was so huge, I could only get about 10 people in my picture. #PicturesNeverTellTheWholeStory

  19. 3-1 those “volunteers” were really at the lumber yard on Saturday. Daddy just hung a few Jason Romney-Plummer signs
    Love the troll with the MPB and two handed phone bankin’
    We know everyone alreeady know Jason ROmney-Plummer never worked. Daddy just gave him an allowance hence no tax returns to release
    Fire, Aim, Ready!

  21. Two Handed Phone Guy put his 1-900 Adult Love Line call on hold so he could order some hot wings delivered to the Telethon.

    I call plagiarism. I know I’ve seen that on AP Government & Politics exams. Wait, when did Plummer take the test….

    My snark tries not to be plagarized …

  24. I was mocking the whole idea that Jason wouldn’t even understand the DISCUSSION of this …but … here it is

  25. Somebody save this stuff as “willys best”. Rich already has the copyright I would guess but this stuff is priceless….and we may not have a candidate as provoking as lumber boy again anytime soon if Brady does not run again. Now…Monica Lewinski may be available…But…

  26. Gotta see his best hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PlGWb4UHYc

  27. - Madison -

    thanks for the compliment! If Rich or others think the Dopey things are worht saving, I hope they do save them! I, myself, would be interested in some of the goofy things like this and reading them later.

    Thanks again, - Madison -, and if you are down yonder and have Plummer and Enyart as your choices, I wish you well!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 9:42 pm

  28. I love that Plummer ad. Great message. Put Plummer on the defense make him say “yes, I did too have to work”

    Comment by Siriusly Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 9:56 pm

  29. Yuck it up now, while you can. How funny will it be when our Congressional delegation includes Joe Walsh & Jason Plummer. Never overestimate the voters. The fact that those two are even on the ballot makes me depressed…

    Comment by Pot calling kettle Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 10:20 pm

  30. - Pot calling kettle -,

    I don’t worry too much about Plummer. If Plummer goes to Congress, I see a “Hanson Brothers” situation, with Jason bringing 1 suit and a suitcase full of toys. “I’m on the road”

    I give Jason Plummer 8 minutes before Jason gets buried in sub-committees and away from real power.

    I feel bad for the District, but I don’t live there, and Durbin and Roskam will keep an eye out for Illinois on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers.

    Jason becomes a ‘novelty’ and Jason is OUT of Illinois.

    I can live with that!

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Oct 9, 12 @ 10:29 pm

  31. Pot I think you can stick a fork in that hard working lumberjack lol. He and a bunch of other 2010 wannabes are going to revisit the demographics in southern Illinois.Costello was carrying this district with 65% not long ago. Enyart is no Costello, but the lumber pup is headed back to the yard.
