Poor Joe the Plumber

[Bann]

I'm sure the leftards will start with the t-shirts and websites, making Joe the Plumber wish he was dead.

But hey, let's don't talk about that. Did you hear that someone called Barack Obama a poopyhead?

 

[Baja28]

I suck at life

Almost 40 and still renting.

Joe feels sorry for you too.

Joe the plumber says..............


"To be honest with you, that infuriates me," plumber Joe Wurzelbacher told "Nightline's" Terry Moran. "It's not right for someone to decide you made too much -- that you've done too good and now we're going to take some of it back."

"That's just completely wrong," he added.


"I don't like it," said Wurzelbacher. "You know, me or -- you know, Bill Gates, I don't care who you are. If you worked for it, if it was your idea, and you implemented it, it's not right for someone to decide you made too much."

[Nonno]

Quick! Make a t-shirt!!!

Too late.......

Did anyone see Obama talking about this today? He had a sneer on his face when he was speaking about it. He said something like does anyone believe McCain is out there to help people like Joe The Plumber. (I'm looking for the quote or clip)

The Dems & the media are frantic - just as frantic as they were/are over Palin. They insult "Joe the Plumber" at their peril. There are 1000's of Joe the Plumbers all over this country and they're insulting every one of them.

The only reason they are scrambling like rats to destroy him is because he is standing in their way of victory. (Same for Palin)

so you are saying that rotorooter is a small buisiness?


as i said before, i beleive the 250K is adjusted gross. if he is making 250K adjusted and pays a higher tax on that 250K under Obama, he is still better off than he is today. makin gmuch more than he did as an employee o fthat buiiness. Infact, Obama indicated that his plan would actually help the guy in "joe the plumber"'s situation, trying to start a small buisiness.

You don't have a clue how much Joe's company makes, the AGI, how much the owner makes. You are wasting electrons with your wild ass speculation.

Since you are so warm and fuzzy about wealth distribution I bet you make more money than some of the people here and it is too much, you don't need all of it, you probably don't deserve it. Tomorrow you need to email me your tax return from last year and I want you to give a certified check for 5% of your AGI to the SOMD.COM fund for the poor. The committe will hand it out just in time for Christmas.

I'm renting by choice. Seeing as how I don't want or need to buy a house right now, I'm doing just fine, thanks. I don't need a mortgage to validate my life.


You see, I can always buy a home. You're always stuck being you. So it looks like you lose.


Also, I always pay my taxes, so I've got Joe the Plumber beat there, as well.


You two are 0-2.

Yes. Obama's growing lead has us all askeered.

And John the Angry Candidate's flailing and desperate grasping for a branch is of big concern, as well.


It's all falling apart at the seams!!

Obama is probably going to win. When he does I hope the GOP gives him a dose of what the DNC has perpetuated on this country for the last 8 years. It is jerk offs like you that have made me loathe liberals.

Still not sure who originally found out about his license but I did find the attached article. It appears that "real" plumbers are a little irritable about him not getting apprenticed and doing plumbing work.

toledoblade.com -- 'Joe the plumber' isn’t licensed

Well they're certainly parsing the words in that article. Color me surprised.


Lawriter - ORC - 4740.07 Licenses issued to individuals.

Huh.

It seems that Joe the Plumber was hitting the morning talk show circuit this morning with an obvious pro-McCain lean.

Hmmm....Joe the McCain Media Puppet, maybe? :shrug:

Oh, right. Obamalamadingdong decides to free lance it by going door-to-door in a neighborhood. Whenever Mr. DingDong does this, he messes up because he's unscripted. That's how Joe the Plumber saw him. McCain didn't plant him, nor did Joe the Plumber plot & connive to meet with Mr. DingDong and set him up.

 

[Kerad]

Obama is probably going to win. When he does I hope the GOP gives him a dose of what the DNC has perpetuated on this country for the last 8 years. It is jerk offs like you that have made me loathe liberals.

You called me a name!


If Obama wins, hopefully he will surprise you and prove you wrong. That's what my mindset was after Bush got "elected" the first time: Prove me wrong, and earn my respect.

Hell, I really wanted to be wrong about Bush. America would have been much better off if I was.

 

[Kerad]

Who accused him of being a plant? Not I.

I was referring to Joe the Plumber's instant embrace of his new found celebrity. More than happy to hit the talk shows in support of his candidate.

Good for him.

I'm sure the entire media & Democratic machine was thrown at little old Joe The Plumber because they were comfortable in their growing lead.

A few days ago I relented that Obama was going to win. Not a huge deal because McCain wasn't my 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice. In my mind I wish him luck and hope he surprises me like Clinton did the first term. Despite that whole lying straight into the camera thing he did I never had much against Clinton because he was a centrist and if I had to deal with a democrat a centrist is better than a kick in the balls.

Thanks to you, forestal, Nono, and the other vapid SOB's who relentlessly ......R.E.L.E.N.T.L.E.S.S.L.Y spread your nasty, antagonistic, diversionary and outright false bullchit I hope Obama is the biggest failure EVER and EVERY democrat from Jimmy Dognuts Democrat dog catcher in Cleveland to Nancy Pelosi is run out of every branch and level of government by angry mobs with torches and pitchforks and I am not alone.

Your boy (oh god please don't call the USSS because I called him "boy") has written a crap load of checks he cannot possibly cash and they are going to stuff it down his throat. It will be fun to watch.

I know you are proud of yourself.

Nothing like trashing an average Joe for political reasons when you have a 10 point lead.

 

[ohstate]

Didn't go through the entire thread - have you seen this video of BO mocking Joe the Plumber?

[Kerad]

Oh please.

Any reporter worth anything would've have looked into who Joe the Plumber is after John the Angry Candidate used him over and over and over again, last night.

John the Angry Candidate is the one who planned on exploiting Poor Joe the Plumber. Too bad Joe the Plumber had no idea what was coming as a result.

I guess John the Angry Candidate vetted Joe the Plumber as thoroughly as he vetted Sarah the Hockey Mom before he chose to use him as his next campaign gimmick.

Ooops.


Wonder what he's got planned in two weeks.


Veterans with puppies? :shrug:

You just keep spinning it. Obama and his minions stomped on him for no reason at all. When it is your turn I hope you take it as cheerfully.

Yeah. And you Righties have been a glowing example of rational debate.


And I am proud of myself. I know I'm not hoping for the next President to fail his country, as you apparently are. We've already had 8 years of that...we ceratinly don't need any more.



You must be so proud.
