Political Punch

Awesome. Keep attacking Joe the Plumber, MSM. The same elitist arrogance towards pistol-packin' mama Palin gave McCain one of his few sustained bounces this campaign.

There are a LOT of Joe the Plumbers out there. Keep mocking them.

Btw...news flash...Joe IS short for Joseph.

Fire Palin and get Joe as VP that will be a smart choice. lol

MCCAIN AND 'JOE THE PLUMBER' NEED TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER...BECAUSE NEITHER ONE OF THEM DEAL WITH ABSOLUTES IN TRUTH.
WITH ALL OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY...I FEEL LIKE I AM BACK IN GRADE SCHOOL WITH A BUNCH OF SO-CALLED AMERICANS WHO CAN DO NOTHING BUT CONCENTRATE ON PETTY AND DISTRACTIVE POLITICAL TRICKS. WHILE YOU ARE ALL DISTRACTED, YOUR COUNTRY IS FALLING INTO THE PITS OF EXTREMISM. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...PLAY THOSE SOAP OPERAS! WHEN REAL LIFE HITS YOU BETWEEN THE EYES..YOU WILL WONDER WHERE YOU YOURSELF HAVE BEEN..WHEN YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE NOW LIVING IN A THIRD WORLD ESTATE BECAUSE ALL YOU CARED ABOUT WAS YOUR OWN BACKYARD...PUT UP THAT FOR SALE SIGN...BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY..THE MONEY IS GONE..AND BACKING MORTGAGES WILL NOT WORK IF THERE ARE NO JOBS!

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to RIGHT THEMSELVES BY ABOLISHING THE FORMS to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of ABUSES AND USURPATIONS, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, AND TO PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURITY." -The Declaration of Independence

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -Thomas Jefferson, 1816

Remember Liberty?

I don't get it.

Obama lied about being involved with the ACORN frauds.

His website had to be changed once the truth got out.

Obam lied about paying ACORN and lied about what he paid them for.

(He said "stage and lighting")

But that's alright.

Democrats need to destroy Joe.

Joe must frighten you do death. More than Obama lying.

"why was the media At his house?"

I am trying to understand what's wrong with you people.

Obama found Joe.

BEFORE the debate.

Joe said something to question THE ONE.

Now Joe pays with his life.

Of course he was going to come up in the debate. Obama mentioned Joe several times.

Something's obviously fishy there.

Why was the Media at Joes house the night of the Debates? As if they Knew Joe was gonna be brought up, and Mccain Brought his name up first and keep harping about him all throughout the debate, SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY why was the media At his house?

We know more about Joe then we do Palin WHO IS THE REAL SARA PALIN? Joe has done more talking with the press then Palin sad sad

This is why public records are public. Slaying the dragon of lies with the sword of truth.

Joe the Plumber misrepresented himself, plain and simple. It obvious that he was hired to try and trip up Obama, and Obama didn't take the bait. Instead he gave him a long detailed and informational explanation of his tax plan, not that Joe was even listening.

"On the day after Mr Wurzelbacher's name came up in the debate, the US media dug into his background and discovered that he is a registered Republican, and that in 2007 the state of Ohio was forced to claim $1,182.98 in unpaid taxes from him.

A search of the register of plumbers in Ohio also revealed that Mr Wurzelbacher does not have a state plumber's licence."

Wow.

Congratulations!

Obama found Joe, NOT the other way around.

And now the long knives are out for Joe because he DARED question the Obamessiah.

This is a snapshot of what could be expected from an Obama Kingdom.

All dissent will be dealt with promptly.

Did you know Obama's treasurer has outstanding tax liens?

Did you know his campaign Finance chairman was instrumental in the financial crisis?

Do you know Obama hasn't released his medical records or his school transcripts?

But you have to destroy Joe!

We know more about Joe than we do Obama. But heck, Obama just wants to be President. It's not as important as Joe.

Keep it up, kids.

This is the real Obama.

Maybe McCain can collect the back taxes Joe owes the government !!!

Joe did not seek out Obama.

Obama sought out Joe.

And now the press is trying to destroy Joe. That's fabulous.

We know more about Joe than we do about Obama.

We find out about Joe's tax liens here, but not that Obama's treasurer has tax liens, or that Obama's Finance Chariman is the Queen of the SubPrime mortgages, which brought to the precipice of calamity.

We know all about Joe, but we still don't know how Obama got into Columbia or Harvard, or his grades, or even his medical record.

But by golly, Obama's press is going to destroy a guy who makes $30k a year.

McCain did as much background checking on Joe as he did on his vice presidential running mate Palin. McCain is an idiot who continuously tries to mislead voters. Vote from the most honest candidate whoever you think that is. Control your government or it will control you.

McCain's "Joe the plumber" is fitting. Liddy, the Watergate burglar/murder plotter, was also a plumber?

"Joe the plumber" makes $40K and would get a $500 tax break under Obama's plan. Did McCain vet this story the same way he didn't vet Palin?

Obama/Biden 08!

According to this business listing, "Joe the Plumbers" company has only $100,000 in annual SALES (not profits) so looks like Joe may have a ways to go...

McCain War Profiteering

The Democratic chairman of a House investigative committee presented documents to the Pentagon on Thursday alleging that a top Republican fund-raiser, Harry Sargeant III, has made tens of millions of dollars in profits over the last four years because his contracting company vastly overcharged for deliveries of fuel to American air bases in Iraq.

Mr. Sargeant, who is the finance chairman of the Florida Republican Party and a major fund-raiser for Senator John McCain, did not immediately return several messages left for him on Thursday, but in the past he has denied any improprieties on the part of the the company, International Oil Trading Company, known as I.O.T.C. [...]

Mr. Sargeant is one of several dozen people who are listed on Senator McCain’s web site as raising $500,000 or more for him. He was the host of a fundraiser for Mr. McCain at his mansion in Delray Beach, Fla., this year.

Sargeant, you may remember, is the McCain bundler who managed to get donations for McCain from some very unlikely sources:

The bundle of $2,300 and $4,600 checks that poured into Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign on March 12 came from an unlikely group of California donors: a mechanic from D&D Auto Repair in Whittier, the manager of Rite Aid Pharmacy No. 5727, the 30-something owners of the Twilight Hookah Lounge in Fullerton....

Some of the most prolific givers in Sargeant's network live in modest homes in Southern California's Inland Empire. Most had never given a political contribution before being contacted by Sargeant or his associates. Most said they have never voiced much interest in politics. And in several instances, they had never registered to vote. And yet, records show, some families have ponied up as much as $18,400 for various candidates between December and March.....

Well, this appears to be just another example of McCain jumping in without thinking. First it was the Sarah Palin pick, then it was "suspending" his campaign, now it's glorifying this guy Joe, who's not really a plumber, earns about $40,000 a year, and as it happens will be BETTER off under Obama's tax plan.

McCain is running an abysmal campaign. I wouldn't trust him to run a bath, let alone a country.

On the day after Mr Wurzelbacher's name came up in the debate, the US media dug into his background and discovered that he is a registered Republican, and that in 2007 the state of Ohio was forced to claim $1,182.98 in unpaid taxes from him.

A search of the register of plumbers in Ohio also revealed that Mr Wurzelbacher does not have a state plumber's licence.

Joe the Plumber is a victim of McCain's desperation in the road to the White House. At least, he can be paid by a talk show or McCain's campaign that is using his likeness in ads. This will make him afford to pay for his apprenticeship, plumber license, liens etc. He just struggles like any other American under Bush. McCain should face reality that NOT all Republicans make over $250,000 as Joe the Plumber demonstrates. Will fees for plumbing licenses or contractor licenses be lowered under McCain, or he wants them to create wealth without caring how much they got there. VOTE WISELY.
