Bottom line: Joe the plumber makes well under $250,000--just like the vast majority of Americans. Under Obama, he'll get a tax cut. What's the problem?

McCain loves Joe, a registered Republican, who also happens to have a state tax lien filed against him for NOT paying his taxes.

Looks like they vetted Joe about as well as they did Palin.

They spent $700,000,000,000 to bail out the banks. The class war just went nuclear.

So if I read this correctly, our next VP is not concerned about Joe the Plumber who regardless of circumstances is still a tax paying citizen; and is polishing up his golf clubs...gee doesn't that give you confidence in the next administration's ability to handle the job...The way it sounds you would think that we were electing the next student body pres and vice pres...GET SERIOUS ALREADY..IT LOOKS AS IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS...

The right wing 'talking points' are ringing HOLLOW. . . . we've had 8 years of giving tax cuts, etc. .to the wealthy, and the results are obvious !!
And what the hell are they talking about 'spreading the wealth' ????
Typical. . .it's OK to bail-out wallstreet; but can't help main street !
Anytime you want to help the middle class, you run into a road block. Corporations; CEO's; Lobbyists; the wealthy. . .can be 'against' the government when convenient. . .but if you get into trouble. . .hey, government's just fine !!! The working man. . . you're on your own !!! It's a pathetic ideology, and the trickle down crap has NOT worked, nor will it. . .Bush; Chency; McCain. .all of them. . .are irresponsible and we have had ENOUGH !!!! Joe six pack may Vote against his economic interest, but there are millions of us who Won't !!!!

OK OK .. I am sick of hearing about "Joe the Plumber". Can we move no now?

Is Joe the Plumber like Floyd the Barber on the Andy Griffith show?

He's a distraction. He'll soon be a puppet for McCain since no one cares about his last puppet from Alaska. What was her name again?

Can someone set a timer and let me know when Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes of fame is done please? I'm tired of him already.

I second that beck.

$250,000??? is that even middle class according to John McCain?

Joe the Plumber doesn't even make $250k and he owes $1200 in back taxes...so whatever Biden said about is irrelevant..

socalvoter;

might want to read up on some more articles...This fella isn't a tax paying citizen, he owes back taxes. So he doesn't pay them now, and still doesn't want to pay them when he actually can...Which is irrelevant anyway since he was speaking in hypotheticals, since he doesnt make 250K. His 15 minutes of fame is done.

O and Joe '08, We're touching up our golf game right now!!!

I find it interesting that we should be concerned about a man who is in a position to consider buying his employer's business. A lot of Americans right now can't afford to even THINK about buying a business! They are only worried about losing their jobs!

So if I read this correctly, our next VP is not concerned about Joe the Plumber who regardless of circumstances is still a tax paying citizen;
-----------------------
Actually he's not a tax paying citizen.

He happens to have a state tax lien filed against him for NOT paying his taxes.

Hahahahahaa

well actually, no. he's a tax-evading citizen.

I don't care about the Plumber but Oh, Joe Biden, you should tell the american people that you took millons of dollars in earmarks for your family and their family business.

Joe Biden called Sarah Palin "dangerous." the media drove the story that McCain rallies were "racist" and "klan meetings." Even Sen. Obama whined about it in last night's debate. But the Secret Service just found the alleged story "unfounded." http://www.timesleader.com/news/breakingnews/Secret_Service_says_Kill_him_allegation_unfounded_.html the media wasted our time, this was clearly a set-up, a fabrication, to smear the McCain/Palin base.

We cannot count on the media to cover us or our opponents fairly and unbiasedly. They will drive whatever story, notwithstanding falsity, to make us look "desperate" and "erratic." We must count on ourselves. From today until election day, I call on us to proudly and boldly share our support for Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin in our daily lives. Tell your friends who you're voting for, and tell them why you're voting for them. Tell your co-workers you don't like the changes Sen. Obama brought to Chicago. Tell strangers when you go shopping or jogging, that Chicago is not a better place because Sen. Obama pushed Bill Ayers's education agenda, and the South Side of Chicago is not a better place because Sen. Obama swelled the ranks of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ with our next generation for 20 years. If we don't stand up for ourselves, no one will. God Bless You and may God continue to Bless America.

I laugh everytime I read some liberal trying to cover for Obama's socialism plan! He got caught with his pants around his ankles and now he is trying to cover himself!

What is it that you liberal's don't understand? First who cares if Joe is not making 250K profit, fact is Obama admitted he wants to redistribute the wealth? That is SOCIALISM!

Second it goes to show how sick you are when anybody says anything negative or does not agree with your stance you try to dig up DIRT! Joe does not deserve to have his private matters made public because he does not agree with Obama!

You liberals are just sick people who will do anything to win this election!

Now ABC is trying to dig up dirt on Joe Plumber. He gets the Palin treatment. Wow, he has tax problems. Guess what-that''s because of the socialist like Obama. Joe Plumber did not ask for a handout or complain.

ABC where is Obama's real birth certificate?

After Joe, what does McCain have left? Nothing.

But beck.. I thought the Obama supporters were caring and responsible people.. you know people who are concerned about the little guy..WHY SHOULD YOU BE SICK OF JOE...HE REPRESENTS WHAT YOU WANT FIXED RIGHT??? THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS ECONOMIC CONCERNS ABOUT HIS FUTURE..WHERE IS YOU COMPASSION..IS THAT NOT WHAT OBAMA IS ABOUT?? Or was it all just talk????? Just as I thought...the next four years will be like the last 2 years on steriods...
