I would not be surprised if Joe the plumber was planted by McCain campaign in Toledo. They are desperate to win at any cost and would say anything. In 2 weeks all this non-sense will be over and will be glad not to see divisive Palin on the stump who says anything without knowing what it means.

Do I still count?

SHOULDN'T you include the facts regarding McCain's allegation?

FACT: Obama cuts taxes for 95% of Americans.

FACT: Obama restores the UPPER tax rate to 39% (instead of 36%), the rate they were before the Bush tax cuts. Tax payers who make less than $250,000 either pay the same or less with Obama's policy.

FACT: McCain called the Bush tax cuts 'unconsciousable' and 'unbalanced in favor of the wealthy' when he voted against them.

FACT: McCain voted to KEEP the 39% tax rate he now calls names.

FACT: FACT: FACT: Barack Obama cuts taxes for 95% of Americans, including virtually everyone making less than $150,000.

Just tell the facts. Don't let McCain or anyone else get away with talking points.

I am Joe the Dupe. I like that John McCain will tax me MORE than Obama, and because I hate socialism. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are SOCIALISM and must be DESTROYED. I do not want the 37% of corporations that paid no taxes last year to be taxed, because that would be WELFARE. Only hard-working Joes like me who make 40,000 a year should be taxed more.

QUESTION:

How many Americans make $250,000 a year or more?

QUESTION:

How many Americans would benefit from a middle class tax cut such as the one proposed by Barack Obama?

Can I get nit-picky here?

He's really "Samuel the unlicensed, back taxes owing plumber" people.

Talk about anyone but himself and his policies. I've nevber seen anything like it.

"Joe the Plumber"? Oh, pleeeez! Who doesn't see that "Joe" was nothing less than a McCain supporter "planted" in order to give McCain talking points in the debate! Duhhhhhh!

McCain:

“Joe’s the only person to get a real answer out of Senator Obama about his plans for our country. I think you all know very well that Joe didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. Joe certainly didn’t ask to be famous. He certainly didn’t ask for the political attacks on him from the Obama campaign.

Joe, if you’re watching, I’m sorry you’re being put through this. No American should be attacked for asking questions of a presidential candidate. No one.

We learned more about Senator Obama’s plans from Joe’s question than we’ve learned in months of speeches by Senator Obama. Joe has now reminded us all that we didn’t become the greatest nation on Earth by giving our money to the GOVERNMENT to “spread the wealth around”. In this country, we believe in spreading OPPORTUNITY for those who need jobs and those who create them.”

That is the formula that answers Obama, and McCain never really discovered it until Joe the Plumber made it obvious. The strength in the American economy comes from the private sector, not from welfare programs. While Joe Biden and Obama talk about reconstituting the Works Projects Administration, Joe and the rest of the taxpayers would like to hang onto the wealth they create and spread it around as they see fit, not as some bureaucrats in Washington would like — after taking a healthy share of it for themselves for massive bureaucracy and earmarks.

Government has a role in protecting opportunity, but not in dictating results. The former is wise governance of a free market, and the latter is socialism. Obama’s Socialism presumes that property belongs to the government first, not to those who own it, and that government has the right to transfer property to whomever they select as stewards of it.

Can I get nit-picky too?

Joe Not-really-a-plumber choose to misrepresented himself in several ways when he talked to Barack Obama.

He said he was about to purchase a business that made $250,000 a year (exactly?) and wanted to know if his taxes would go up.

Let us count the deceptions here:

1. Joe has since said (to UP) that he has no good plan to buy this business.

2. The business in question does less than $100,000 a year in sales.

3. Taxes on a small business apply to net profit, not income. A business with $100,000 in sales is going to make less than half that in profit.

Now I know this guy is just an ordinary citizen with an OPINION and a question, but that doesn't mean he has less responsibility to be truthful.

Truth counts.

How about Joe The Buttermilk Maker?

McChicken will be needing unlimited supplies starting November 5th.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLOWOUT!

Obama/Biden 08

On taxes, it seems that McCain is the only person who can claim that he cuts taxes on every individual, while Zero raises taxes on anyone/couple filing more than $110K gross income.

Why do you prefer for the government to tax more from most individuals (not the so-called top 5% that Zero has lied to you).

Maybe, for those of you making less, you got less tax cut in absolute dollar amount than the rich, but you still get a greater percentage of tax cut than the rich.

It just happens that 1% of $1 million ($10,000) is a lot more than 10% of $20K (2,000).

If Zero uses 1% of his Harvard smart to explain what profit margin and net profits are, you probably would have not so disappointed. But, it would have exposed his lies, wouldn't it?

Senator McCain - Meet JOE Biden, the next VP of the United States.

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Isn’t this an argument for electing someone with MORE EXPERIENCE!? Why should we elect a man who will EMBOLDEN OUR ENEMIES and push us to the brink of disaster? Biden seems convinced that electing John McCain will make our enemies abroad much less sanguine about provoking us — which is one of the best arguments yet heard for electing McCain.

Even worse, Biden admits that an Obama administration will likely FUMBLE THE BALL. “It’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.” Really? Why not? I’d say that Biden admits that Obama will deviate from long-held principles of American foreign policy and diplomacy, and expects to reap a whirlwind of disapproval because of that. Where will that be most likely to occur, given Obama’s previous political alliances with people like Rashid Khalidi?

Let’s not forget the example that Biden himself uses here. John Kennedy got tested because he met with Nikita Khrushchev with “no preconditions”. Kennedy acknowledged afterwards that it was an “unmitigated DISATER.”

What resulted? The Berlin Wall and the Cuban missile crisis. Kennedy wound up trading strategic intel and missile installations in western Asia in exchange for Soviet withdrawal of the nuclear missiles from Cuba. The entire Kennedy administration turned out to be a foreign-policy DISASTER that was only overlooked because of the tragic assassination of Kennedy in Dallas in 1963.

I Feel sorry for some Mccain Supporters they cant see they have been HAD by Mccain,Poor things! Everyone by now knows Joe the Plumber WAS A MCCAIN PLANT He was planted out of Mccain Desperation!

McCain already has "Joe Sixpack" the Socialist Governor of Alaska.

Alaskans receive approximately $3000 per year from the state of Alaska (paid for by Alaskan businesses). Based on Governor Palin's own words this past week, that's called Socialism.

Wow. They really think they have something here with "joe the plumber". Funny. I even heard a republican sya she was already sick of Joe the Plumber. Last throes of a sinking campaign...

Angie,

It is Zero who first walked into that Plumber's lawn and questioned his motives.

Too wound up in Troopergate, the Media ignores Speakergate.

Apparently, on Obama’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when you’re a legislator is AGAINST Illinois state law.

Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was PROHIBITED from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act.

But what about Barack Obama’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?

2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”

2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking).

2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”

These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.

That’s not change we can believe in.

Just to sum up, the media can find Joe the Plumber’s tax woes within 24 hours of his having dared to question The One’s narrative, but they can’t find a clear ethical violation in the released records of a man who has been campaigning for President for TWO YEARS now.

Another truth-telling moment brought to you by our fair and objective “tanning bed” news media.
