As a registered republican, I received a request from Sarah Palin for a donation to the campaign (maybe she needs a new dress), I sent it back empty because I need the money more than the RNC. I have early voted Obama and would like to have the RNC call me when McCain, Palin, Guiliani are gone.

OUR ECONOMY IS, AS MCSAME PUT IT, IN THE CRATER

& HE IS RUNNING HIS CAMPAIGN ON JOE THE PLUMBER.

BOY, HE IS MAKING BUSH LOOK INTELLIGENT & HONORABLE.

Did anyone see the full unedited exchange between this "joe" guy and Senator Obama? If you did, this joe the plummer thing would go away. Obama was clear, articulate, and fully explained his plan. Although I think this guy was a republican plant, the look on his face said a mouth full; he agrees with Obama's plan but can't come out publically and say it.

Each time Obama has something unique to say or has someone say something unique – McCain adopts it – first it was "change" and now it's Joe the Plumber.

Who is the leader? Who is the follower?

Here's a little quiz for you. Who said it was a good idea to increase the Earned Income Tax Credit, a credit for low-income workers that reduces the impact of payroll taxes in order to boost take-home pay above poverty levels? That is, When the credit is more than the amount of federal income taxes owed by an individual, that person receives a tax "refund."

Give up? It was Ronald Reagan himself who praised the earned income tax credit as the best "anti-poverty" and "pro-family" legislation ever enacted by Congress. So, are you now saying Regan is a socialist?

And how about this one?
While thinking that repairing the Bush tax cuts, in essence restoring the tax rates back to the levels of the good ole Clinton days, is a bad idea by Obama, it is PRECISELY the same position McCain himself argued when they were first enacted. Is his memory so poor that he cannot remember saying the Bush tax plan was "skewed" to benefit the rich in 2001 and 2003?

Hey Joe in Ohio, what you say about these facts?

joe the plumber , this is the same joe, who is not joe it's sam , it should be the sam tour., well lets see , sam, allis joe. he is not a plumber , in ohio you have to have a licence to be a plumber ,joe does not have one , joe is related to mc cains co chairman charles keating , yes that is the same keating tjat almost cost mc cain his senate seat, as one of the keating five fame, they thyed to keep keating from being investigated , but he was and found guilty of fraud and several other felonys, from staeling millions from old poeple, just like today. but sam is related to him . , thats very odd , yet the biggest thing is that joe or sam gave the obama campain a $100.00 donation, how much did he give you john, also he should of used the money to pay his back taxes, thats what i would run on , is it to hard to find a honest man . ken

Palin = President of Small Towns, Carabou shooters, Pro-lifes
McCain = President of Marvericks, Retirees, POWs

OBAMA = President Of The United States of America.

Let's call it what it is Obama is giving 55% of people a tax break and and 40% of people an increase in the welfare they already receive it is not a tax cut if you don't pay taxes and 40% receive more back than they pay. Welfare not tax cuts tired of % manipulation by people who follow tag lines only.

I'm so tired of this Joe Plumber crap. Question is, when was he tested? He says he was and says they don't want to test him, sounds to me like he wants to start another war. this guy is sick in the head, put him and his puddy shape wife in an old folks home

Uhh ... Umm ... No, Joe the plumber obviously has very limited appeal and credibility and represents eveything wrong with the McCain't/ Failin' Palin campaign. If it were otherwise, John McCain would be ahead in the polls and NOT defending red state territory.

Does anyone out there see the total insanity behind this gimmick of gimmicks? That's the kind of utter disillusionment and disconnection John and Sarah would bring to the White House. Sorry, I want someone "like me" but smarter than me running my country and leading this nation.

"Spreading the wealth around" is something we call taxes...just about all of us have to pay them. If we didn't (like Joe the Plumber), we wouldn't have schools, fire departments, police or military. Joe the Plumber certainly doesn't represent my husband or myself. We pay our taxes on time and out the ying yang
Obama/Biden

Does this guy not get it? The only crowd liking his Joe crap are the people already voting for him. It's turning off the people he needs to help him. Unfortunately the combination of this mantra and Palin have alienated far too many. Maybe running for President for far too long has damaged McCain beyond repair.

How about Tito the Builder? Is the MSM not attacking him because of his race??

My husband is Art the water treatment guy. We are voting for Obama because we are able to understand OBAMA'S PLAN IS BETTER FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER!

lol@more jobs in Florida. So McCain is trying to tell us that his plans will create more jobs in a state that traditionally doesnt't have any. Riiiiight

ONE NATION

Why is it that McCain continues to use experience references from 50 years ago? I mean, I think it is great what he did back then but what experience has he had being "Tested" as a leader in International affairs in the 21st century?

Since every American who was around during the Cuban Missile crisis was also "tested" having faced the possibility of nuclear war, wouldn't that make all of them "Tested" as well which means no one woud dare try to do anything to them?

For McCain to have been a prisoner of war and claim to put country first, I would have to say no because what I have seen is the other side of McCAin. He's a racist a bigot,and he's irractic. I thougth he was more intelligent than he has showned. He is ignorant, crazy , and out of lies to tell on Obama. He has thrown in the kitchen sink, now he's throwing all Americans in the his hell hole with him. What a shame to go down disgraceful.

Linda in Georgia

MAN, IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY CALL HIM THAT,

THINKS WE ALL ARE CERTIFIABLE IDIOTS.

MAYBE HE HAS A POINT. WE ELECTED

BUSH & NOW WHY NOT HIS GRANDFATHER.

McCain has dishonored himself even more than anyone thought possible.

He's angry and bitter and very divisive of our United States.

Obama/Biden '08

Where do you McCain backers get this idea that people who don't pay taxes will get a refund?? I can't find this to be true anywhere. Oh I forgot...you heard it somewhere so it must be true

How can joe the plumber keep his job when republicans outsource our jobs? Joe the plumber does not have to worry about keeping his wealth because he does not have any.

After reading a good deal of these comments, it makes me understand to a greater degree why this country is in such trouble!

if you tax only the rich THEN they will CUT you out when it comes TIME FOR YOU TO LOK FOR A JOB////....OBAMA IS BAD FOR AMERICA HE BEHOLDS TO THE WRONG IDEALS AS TO WHAT AMERICA SHOULD BE,,... nothing is free in this WORLD ..........JUST FALSE PROMISES

God......will they end the Sam the Plumber thing already?

For all of you that think that Obama's tax plan is better, have you every heard of in-flaishun? That's what happens when you jack taxes on businesses.

For further explanation, look up the Jimmy Carter administration.

MCTURNCOAT HAS NO IDEA WHO JOE THE PLUMBER IS !!

MCTURNCOAT HAS BEEN ON THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER

WELFARE SINCE HE WAS CONCEIVED. HE HAS NEVER HAD

A JOB, LIKE THE REST OF US. THE BUSH & MCBUSH

POLICIES HAVE HURT NO ONE MORE THAN THE RED STATES.

he IS UNEDUCATED, UNETHICAL, DISHONEST & FOR THE RICH.

What? "Joe the Clogger Tour"? Clog our financial system with ELEPHANT ideology?

I dont understand how a PARTY can screw America so bad and still have the face to ask for 4 more years. I dont hate McCain/Palin, but it's time for change.

Do we really want our next president to be a guy who has got nothing but Joe the plumber"?

Enough with Joe the "F_ _ _ING Plumber" already. Come up with something original, pops. I've been watching some McCain and Palin speeches and they are almost word for word every time. At least Obama brings something new to the podium now and then when he speaks.
McCain and Palin are HACKS!!!!
WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE HACKS IN THE WHITEHOUSE!!!
It is time to move forward and the only way that will happen is with Obama and Biden on November 4th!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

THE LOGICAL CHOICE . . . THE ONLY CHOICE!!!!!!

McCain should put "country first" and declare he's voting for Obama.

Right now he's worried about "Joe the Plumber"...when he's in office all he's going to care about is John the multi-millionare with 10 houses and five cars. Those are the only ones that republicans ever care about . I guarantee you a tax increase for some of these wealthy people won't cause them to have to change anything about their lifestyles. They'll still have homes, cars, expensive vacations...the WORKS! Everyone seems so worried about them having to pay extra taxes, but I guarantee you that none of them are sitting in their million dollar homes worrying about the people who got put on the street b/c they couldn't make their house payments.

Joe The Plumber, Dave the Drywaller, Frankthe Framer blah blah blah.......

What about Geppetto the PUPPETMAKER????

McCain is like Pinochio!

I hope there's enough people in Florida who take pride in their own work to counteract the lazy Obama supporters who want something for nothing. I believe there are, and I think McCain will win Florida.

McCain's been talking about fighting for American's small business to create jobs, and all Obama and Biden have to say is that Joe the Plumber didn't have a plumber's license that he didn't need anyway. Way to focus on the REAL issues, Obama. How pathetic. Why don't you give another vapid speech about how you'll CHANGE America by spending us into bankruptcy. Do you have China's banks on speed-dial?

Keep your wealth? McCain is clueless. I wish he would come up with a plan for the thousands of people trying to keep their homes.

Joe the plumber can drink anyone under the table any day.

Joe the plumber or not, both of these canidates suck.

McShame and his moose are so stupid.

Do they really think "spread the wealth around' is a bad thing, especially after the current finanacial crisis and the last 8 years of Bush economics? Make the rich richer and to heck with the rest.

I mean if John McShame is so worried the moose can't dress herself, he should pay for it with his own bucks [pun intended] instead of taxpayer money. After all $150,000 is small potatoes to a millionaire like him with 13 cars and 7 mansions.

I'm so glad I'm not a conservative.

Obama/Biden 'till 2024 (that's 8 years of Obama and 8 years of Biden as POTUS

I think that once VA NC OH are called for Obama, us on the East Coast can be in bed by 10pm. will be cracking open champagne if Mitch McConnell loses Senate seat!

Like Obama said "I think one of the wheels just fell off the straight talk express" McCain is a liar and a pitiful excuse for a leader! I really do believe McCain has the little man syndrome.

Is there any doubt now in anyone's mind that "joe the Plumber" was a plant and that he is nothing more that another planned political stunt. Mr. McCain, you're pathetic.

McCain is cocky too, he said in an interview yesterday here on CNN that he wouldn't be tested...Newsflash McLame...you're not invincible. If something is going to happen you don't have two things that are key to stop it

those things are 1) intellect and 2) Common sense

Is there any doubt now in anyone's mind that "joe the Plumber" was a plant and that he is nothing more that another planned political stunt. Mr. McCain, you're pathetic.

I wonder what sidekick McCain will ask to help him rally in Florida. How about George Bush. They also think a like.

"Joe the Plumber", was and continues to be a "Plant" imposed on Sen. Osama by McCain, so as to distract and take pressure away from Himself, McCain, an old Karl Rove Move !
McCain has aged 6 yrs. in the last 6 months; With a little help ,Joe, He might just pull through Nov. 4, 2008.

13 days and a wake-up.The McCain/Palin nightmare will be over.

When folks like Joe the-wanna-be-plumber vote for McCain they are voting against their own financial interests. The Repubs are laughing all the way to the bank because of these clowns. Now if their only concern in choosing a candidate is whether he will allow them to have an AK-47, then maybe they are OK with hurting themselves financially. Most, however, probably don't even understand the result of their selection–they just do it because they are too lazy to look up the real facts, their spouse told them to vote that way, or they can be played like a violin with a little political rhetoric. The Repubs are so desperate these days that they'll take whatever they can get. A plumber shown to be nothing he claims and VP candidate better suited to selling cosmetics. Bow out with a little dignity, McCain. You're looking like a cartoon version of your former self–your tooth grinding smile and your negative topic du jour are making you look and sound like a lunatic.

How can you "honorably" (in reference to the honorable campaign you promised to run, McCain) hold up a unlicensed, back-tax owing Joe who lied to in front of the cameras as the model citizen you want to help????

I guess when your campaign is going down the toilet the only person McCain can turn to is Joe.

Joe the Plumber is the only thing McCain and Palin has going for them right now. I'm tired of hearing about the non-registered Republican who doesn't pay his taxes!!!!!!!!

Great!!! Now these 4 small business people are going to have all their incomes exposed. I doubt a florist or pub owner nets $250K for himself.

YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE DRAIN McCAIN AND TAKE YOUR DRIP
PALIN WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Why does the "Joe the plumber" tour sound more like a concert tour than anything else?

All you worthless liberals will be to blame when, the bad economy gets 100 times worse under the racist puke. You thought Bush was bad, just wait your messiah will run this country into the ground and you ignorant bums will be to blame.

Not smart to raise taxes on the people who provide jobs. Don’t worry my income will stay the same (The rich will stay rich) I’ll just fire a couple employees to cover my losses that Obama creates.

Unemployment will be over 10% under Obama guaranteed. Other business owners I have talked to will also start cutting jobs if Obama is elected.

America is a nation built on capital. All of society's systems, institutions, and laws are based upon this common maxim. If America were built around humanity, society would function and appear very different, but it's not. More than a third of the nation's wealth is owned by just one percent of the wealthiest households while the bottom 80 percent hold a mere 16 percent. The wealthiest 20 percent own the USA, they run the USA, and they pushed the USA into political and financial ruin. America is in crisis and the wealthiest Americans are the only ones with the capital to fix it. That's not socialism, it's reality.

Truly, it would be just so nice if McCain could get the truth straight, and a man with 7 (or is it 11) houses is hardly used to "palling around with" plumbers, except to have them work for him, and I doubt very much John McCain and his plastic wife, Cindy, hire unlicensed ones earning $40 something thousand and with no hope of ever earning $250,000 + or owning his own business. Time to get off the jaded record with the stuck needle.

It is ridiculous to think (and to claim) that a business PROFITING $250k/year is considered a "small" business. Because, as a small business owner myself I know this for a fact: you may Gross $250k, but you're only taxed on your Net income. So you would have to make a heck of a lot more than $250,000 a year Gross to be taxed on that amount (unless you have $0 in expenses, which I highly doubt any business has). So, seriously people, REAL businesses making under $250k are going to benefit much more under Obama's plan than under McCain's. He's protecting the Big Boys, not the Little People.

Of course he has Joe the plumber tour. HIs Joe doesn't even pay his taxes and so McCain must feel he is a 'role model' for the nation. Because if you DO pay taxes you must be a 'socialist' or wait is the communist?
People who midlessly vote for these people need to be pitied. Does this nation really want another shallow shoot them up cowboy ?

My prayer is that Americans won't buy the smear tactics this time and will see through it. We have too many issues.

The McCain campaign gets goofier and goofier. Who are they trying to connect with, anyway? It seems they are going out of their way to attact the attention of rural rednecks and conservative radio geeks. I don't believe for a minute that those groups of individuals comprise the majority of the voting population. I heard Todd Palin speak the other day and it was so laughable it was sad. Now this hapless moron who has been caught in his own misstatements so many times it's pitiful. I feel so sorry for John McCain, the John McCain I used to admire. His judgement is so poor now, it's almose as if he's deliberately killing his own campaign.

Joe the plumber would be a diversion even if he were authentic.

McCain still thinks status quo economic policy is just fine, because he doesn't understand that the free-market/free-trade policies he practices are the root cause of declining median income levels, which, in turn, are a major cause of mortgage defaults.

In truth, taxes are not an issue in the economy. The core issue is the erosion of American earning capacity, and McCain thinks deregulation is the way to fix that. A McCain presidency would be an economic catastrophe, because he misunderstands economics in a way frighteningly similar to the way Hoover misunderstood it.

joe blow doesnt pay his taxes probly woudnt pay his employes.no disrespect to plumbers but this guys makes everyday workers look dumb and thats the repulicans are hopeing four not going to work this time we learned are lessons with bush everybody needs to get out and vote lets make it a landslide we have the last word

> Here is the news flash : Larijani: Iran prefers Obama

A news flash for you: al Queda yesterday endorsed McCain because they know that he will continue the downward economic spiral of this country (which has been their intention all along).

Wonder where Joe got his Digs and did Palin kick in some Alaskan Dough. Listen folks Joe was a plant and a gimmick and grommed by Carl Rove and his band of snakes. Welcome Stupid America...is what they think we have on our foreheads...Get rid of this Circus Act..Vote Obama/Biden 08 and lets get this Country moving n the right (oops..political Gaff) the correct direction.

Are they going there to have more "rallies" that feature the county sheriffs on stage in full uniform with gun at their side spewing hate-filled statements about Sen. Obama? Gov. Christ, are you sure you want to attend more of those rallies?

McCain is sadly basing his last two weeks of campaigning on an Obama comment taken way out of context, and a slew of half-truths and outright fabrications. Long gone is the good man I supported in 2000. This McCain is a disgrace.

–Erik the Stagehand (a proud American from Real Pennsylvania)

Like the word of God says, "In the last days they will call what is good, bad and what is bad, good."

You so called christians out there; I have a question for you. Do mccain campaign resemble anything of Christ? Christ does not lie, cheat, bare false witness, use people, commit adultrey, rob the poor, nor does he deceive people, and he most certainly does not promote fear, for his word says that God has not given us a spirit of fear but love, power, and a sound mind.

So I say again, and quote Paul the Apostle, "Examine yourselves to see if you are of this christain faith, least you be deceived and Christ returns and find you without faith." Will the real christians please stand up? Stop being hypocrites! These were the first people that Jesus target and rebuked, are you one these people?

I still don't get this guy...he can't afford to buy the business because if he buys the business he'll make $250,000/year instead of the $40,000/year he's making now? Ummm what? He'll more than quadruple his salary, but the taxes will cripple him....where is the logic in that?

Joe the tax dodger belongs on the slime talk express

Undecided: I see are one of those who still have issues with elitism even though they are being pointed in the wrong direction. Joe the plumber is a misrepresentation of what McCain, et al are touting. As a matter of fact Joe (whose real name is Sam) is sick and tired of this.

“Senator Obama wants to spread the wealth around. That means fewer jobs at their businesses and fewer jobs here in Florida.”

Either McCain is lying or is completely uninformed.

J.O.B.S., tax cuts, rich pay their share – that how the "Wealth" will be redistributed and I'm all for it.

Spread the Wealth – Obama/Biden '08!

Joe the Plumber does not have a Plumbers License, makes way less than $250K per year, and may not even be registered to Vote. Birds Of the same Feather Flock together: In other words, losers, liers and cheaters like Joe the Plumber are for McSame/Palin who can't except losing and also lie and will no doubt try to cheat come Nov4th.

Seriously, is this race become about a fake plumber who, in actuality, would benefit from Obama than McCain. He's an idiot and so is McCain!

McCain said it’s no surprise large companies leave the country if they’re being taxed less there; e.g. in Ireland they only pay 11 % taxes. Following his logic, America will have to lower its tax rates for corporations to 11% before they stop flocking to Ireland. In other words, his proposed tax cut – 25 % instead of 35 % – is not going to stop these companies from going overseas.
Spoken like a true visionary, senator!

I just voted for McCain because I just could not vote for Obama but I will tell everyone that I voted for Obama.

Keep my wealth? WHAT wealth? Any wealth Americans had in their homes or the stock market is down the drain. Should I call Joe the Plumber to try to fix my drain? Oh he's not a licensed plumber? Hm.

I was a Fl. resident that voted for Gore and my vote DIDNT COUNT! The McCain/Palin ticket frightens me. McCain said he is running an "honorable" campaign, then why are there so many very disturbing comments coming from people at his rallies?? As well as from Palin herself. My friends in Florida that own a Production Co. WILL catch these comments and people on camera. So watch out McCain! We will show America just how "Honorable" your campain is and air the film on CNN and yes FOX! Because divided we ALL fail!

McGimmick strikes again.

The fact that most Americans are mad with congress and voting against the republicans even though the majority in congress are democratics confirms my feelings on your school system.

mccain get a life

So is this the official "Redneck Political Tour"?

The Straight Talk Express is not about straight talk on the issues but the expression of why Obama isn't American enough.

Why cant he run a " TRUTH AND HONOR TOUR"?
Oh that's right cause That One already thought of it!! Duh.

OBAMA/BIDEN!! 08

WASN'T IT MCCAIN THAT ACCUSED OBAMA OF POLITICIZING JOE THE PLUMBER AND CAUSING HIM HIS NEW FOUND "FAME?"

Does anyone ever challenge McCain with fair play. He and Palin have twisted this story so many ways and reporters seems to support them. Where is his staff if he and Palin can not or will not think?????

This is SOOOOOOOOO DUMB & THE MOST JUVENILE CAMPAIGN I HAVE EVER SEEN......Anyone that supports this non sense is just as RIDICULOUS AS JOHN MCCLOWN!!!!! Wh ocares about the Joe The Dummy Tour!!!

Barack Your Vote!!!

Uh any form of taxes is spreading the wealth around. McCain is so desperate but we all know this.

You can't have Pennsylvania, sir!

PA Voter for Obama

I dispise CNN. I dispise MSNBC too. You're all a bunch of liberal democrats, sending this country down the tubes.

The Republicans once again are gambling the campaign on character, not the issues. They will likely realize on November 3 that it will be too late to try and raise the issues.

They will continue to do Swift Boat, splatter theory, and CREEP attacks on Obama.

They will not succeed.

Obama/Biden 2008

What a shame! McCain is USING Joe the plumber. John McCAIN is using that man for his own political failures. So sad.

I'm not a huge fan of McCain but dang at least he's not a Commie. Obama could probably still do some good volunteering in the community and whatnot, but I don't think he should be President of the United States.

So much like Joe the Plumber, McBush is a liar and not really who he says he is. Both are liars and they were both found out by America!! Pack it up McBush and take eskimo barbie with you.!! Get out and Barack the Vote America.

Obama/Biden '08

If Sen McCain tell the truth Joe the Plumber, Joe the plumber would get a tax BREAK, Joe the plumber "said on Fox New Hanity/ combs that the bussiness he want to open wouldn"t make over $250,000 a year. Tell the truth. Go Obama/Biden

This gimmick is outrageous, and not becoming of a man who is applying for the highest position in the land PRESIDENT!

Politico Pundit,
Larijani is a MODERATE, you idiot. He is PRO-WEST.
My God, some of the stupidity of the Republican party is outrageous.

CNN DID IT TO ME AGAIN.......I HOPE THE FCC STEPS IN QUICKLY AND FINES THE HELL OUT OF CNN FOR TRYING TO RIG THE ELECTION

If I had $1 for every time I've heard McCain and Palin use the term Joe the Plumber I would be able to go on a Palin-like shopping spree.

McLiar now I realize why you repeated Joe the Plumber 20 timesduring the Debate ...you forgot about Mary the candlstick maker James the barber ETC GOOD TRY Old Hog JAW again is Rick Davis your Son.....You guys are the same Ugly and same Dirty .......Stop lying one Lie leads to more Lies ask Joe the Plumber

"Joe from Mahwah, NJ" – I COULD NOT HAVE WROTE A BETTER RESPONSE! THANK YOU!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Joe the plumber is not the issue. The issue is the question he asked Messiah Obama. Obama is not for small business in fact he is not for business at all. Business is what keeps us in our homes. So this election is for Jobs, businesses and Homes. McCain has addressed these. Obama has not. He is willing to say anything to get people to vote for him. His is LYING to you and me. Mr lefty Obama will tax and spend, tax and spend. It will happen. A Leopard cannot change his spots..

All the hate I see here toward the GOP. Name calling, disgusting remarks. Nice job Dems.. It shows us where you are. In the gutter.

JEEZ! ENOUGH OF FREAKIN' JOE THE PLUMBER ALREADY!

ONLY MCCAIN WOULD USE A GUY WHO LIES, IS NOT WHAT HE CLAIMS TO BE, AND OUT FOR HIMSELF.

OH GOD, I JUST DESCRIBED MCCAIN AND THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Lizzie from the View campaigning with Palin?
lol... She has succeded in raising the IQ of bot the View and the McCain campaign!

What mcshame needs is joe the V.P. pick tour!!

he needs the right VP pick

That's why I am voting for Obama/biden

I have had it with the semi-skilled clown Joe the Plumber fairy tale. Move On! The desperation in the republican party is out of control and inspire sadness.

you know McCain, I am one of those Joe the plummers, I needed your help long time ago, Where were you when I needed you. Oh I guess you were busy voting with bush 90 % of the time. you were there in washington 26 years, and while American people are losing jobs, losing homes, losing money, you were there smiling, laughing, good Job McCain, that's why i'm voting for Obama.

Dang! I hope Joe six-pack doesn't do anything silly since the Joe the plumber-gimmick has taken over with a tour.

Maybe the GOP can pay Joe the plumber royalties so he can pay his back taxes. Maybe $150,000 for new overalls and plumbing tools and a $50,000 CEO instant bonus so he can actually be above the $250K benchmark to make McCain's claims a little less bogus?

Joe the plumber is a FAKE and McCain camp use a FAKE person to fool the people. How can we trust Mccain any more?

What a sham. McCain has completely lost it with this stupid Joe the plumber thing. How about real issues, real truth and a real reason to vote for McCain instead of constant tactics. He has run the worst campaign in history!

Can someone explain to me why Florida has gone from 51% – 46 % advantage Obama to 46% – 45 % advantage Mcsame?

Mr. McCain you said on several occasions that you would run an honorable campaign. YOU LIED.........You used to be an honorable man but you became the pupet of the RNC and you LOST YOUR SOUL IN THE PROCESS.......

Dirty Harry, that was the truth you owe an apology to people who are smart and do not work for campaigns as you do.

Bill you are absolutely correct!!! He is preaching to the choir because most people understand what a tax cut means for those under $250k.

Calling a tax-cut Socialist is the only way to tell dumb people that it is better to give tax cuts to the rich. Mind you, the same cuts that did not trickle down to the comon man and messed up the economy.

$150,000 for Palins wardrobe and they cant spend $800 on whitening McCains crusty teeth?

There is also zero doubt in my mind that I don't know what I'm talking about.

McCain needs to understand that the more he talks about Joe the plumber, the more credibility he loses. The guy is fake, gave a fake scenario and came to a fake conlusion.

The only thing I know for sure about plumbers, they put their face where I put my behind!

Joe the plumber doesn't realize that he would benefit more from Obama's plan than McCain's.

Just watch watach I tell you, after Obama wins this election, there will be a few dishonest stories about Joe the "so-called plumber" and John McCain.

There's something rotten in Denmark and it isn't Obama's tax plan.

Why would you base a tour on a fake?

Does Obama's tax plan mean that he is in effect raising his own taxes, and does McCain's tax plan mean that he is giving himself
a tax break?

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Is this tour in any way running in conjunction with the new ironically titled Guns & Roses 'Chinese democracy" tour ?

Axl & John shootin up & dancin' with Mr. Brownstone on the straigh lie to you express bus with Cindy and Sarah providing the "entertainment"

Should be a gas....

Dumb & Plumber

What kind of insanity. The man owes taxes. He is not licensed. He is not about to buy this business, not at least soon. He is not going to have his taxes raised. And yet here he is spouting the McCain the same slogans. Why can't people see how just insanely weird this is?

He's fake (Joethe plumer) McCain is losing a lot credibility and if we tge people wants 4 more year of this then we deserve more war and soon we will be all talking Chinese.

McCain will help the working man? How and since when? How will keeping the Bush tax cuts for the rich, help the working man? These people are crazy.

I like Palin, she's just like me. She's a working mom, who shops at Wallmart, just like me. So what, if she spent $ 150,000 on clothes, I want to be just like her. She makes believe that anyone can get lots of money for no reason.

Palin is the pride of "Rushpublicans" everywhere.

Now I'm off to put all my money on the lottery and pray that God will give me wealth, just like he gave to Sarah.

Why does he keep using this guy thats not a plumber and is against social security? Which along with Medicaid is SOCIALISM which makes McCain a card carrying member.

If I were Joe the plumber, I would sue McCain.

Observation: McLame a very creepy fake smile.

...crazy old man.

Joe the plumber is s loosing team.Don you get it oldman McCain?

They should change the name of the tour to the John McCain Farewell Tour. However, unlike Streisand and Cher he won't come back for another Farewell tour.

McCain has hinged the last three weeks of his campaign on a man who is a FRAUD and tax evader. He must not want the white house that bad

If you people think George Bush has been a horrible president, just
wait until Obama, if he is elected, jumps in the borrowed money pot
from China with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for all that unnecessary
spending they so want to do.

WARNING
DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA

He will raise everyones taxes. this guy is a fake do not be brainwashed. He is the next Jimmy Carter. There will be double digit unemployment, double digit interest rates, double digit inflation.

You have been warned

Joe the Plumber tour? This is a campaign inept of strategy. Indeed a drowning man will clutch at a straw and CNN led by Wolf and Sanchez are cheering them on.

If I hear that Joe the plumber one more time from McPalin I will go nuts....for heavens sake is that the best they can do!!!!
This country is in a mess and all the McPalin ticket do is go on and on about this guy who is of no consequence anyway......it shows that they have nothing else to offer and it's getting boring!!!!
What a complete disaster the McPalin campaign has been....out of control crowds....desrespectful....lie after lie....enough is enough!!!
This country deserves so much better than McCain.....who's claim to fame as being honorable has long since diminished, alongside any dignity I should think.
No, it's time for a new chapter and new characters.....Sen Obama and Sen Biden will bring dignity and respect back to the White House and that has been lacking these past 8 years.
Vote wisely and vote now......we can't afford to have another 4 years of this useless Republican party.

Fighting for the 5% of America Huh McCain, Same old Same old, Joe or should i say stanley the Plumber represents nothing but ignorance.

Obama supporters you don't like the truth ? to bad is reality.

For a moment there I thought the first paragraph read "dividing through Florida" which would be an accurate description of McCain's campaign tactics.

THE MEDIA FIIX IS IN.

WHATEVER .THIS ELECTION IS OVER. READ EM AND WEEP, REPUBS.

To
Dirty Harry
You are probably too dirty to read the whole story. The interviewer asked Gov Palin...."What preconditions are you asking for Sen Obama to put in place" We are all still waiting for her to give the pre-conditions. She obviously just spewing out lies and dont even know what pre-conditions are to be in place.

You read all these posts and wonder how Obama backers can call McCain supporters hate mongers and spewers of negativity!

John McCain needs to get on a "Dementia Tour." The only time an old man doesn't need to pee is when he's peeing. All of this "Joe the Plumber" is bulls@*t and if McCain were in his right mind he would know it. Why not "Killroy," while he's at it.

Who cares about Joe....talk about issues.

The guy with 7 houses has a keep your wealth tour. No kidding!

1 car
1 house
1 spouse
VOTE OBAMA!

McCain believes the American people are idiots.. That he can use a bunch of props; including Sarah Palin to make his way into the White House. Frankly his judgment on a range of issues have made me reconsider my prior esteem for him. He has run not just a dishonorable campaign but one in the gutter! Shame on you, McCain. You could have done much better with a more moderate posture.

Who cares about Joe the plumber,McCain,Palin and any one else that are trying to divide us? I will be so glad when this is over so we can get started on getting something good going for the hurting people in America.Obama/Biden

...yawn...

The idea that this fake plumber is supposed to represent the every person is completely ridiculous. As if any of us are summed up with a first name and work related label. It is so condescending to try and say so.

It has already been shown that Joe the Plumber would do BETTER with Obama's plan, so why are we still hearing about this idiot tax evader?!?!

Joe the Plumber is flushing this campaign down the drain.

PLEASE POST THIS CNN!!!!! McNasty & Lyin Palin gave an interview to Brian Williams (airs on NBC tonight) about NYC & DC being where elitists live! This guy who has a billionaire wife & owns 7 houses & this woman who spends over $150,000 on clothes for her & her family & her hair & makeup? I'm spitting mad over this statment – all of the boros that make up NYC are elitist? Were those of us that work in downtown NYC & also had loved ones in the towers elitist? Those that perished on 9/11 in both NYC & DC were elitist & un-American? Perhaps we should have mentioned that to al-queda & my family member & several friends would still be alive & I wouldn't still be having nightmares about it – How dare they! I can't afford a $150,000 shopping spree for me & my family & I don't frequent cocktail parties either – How dare they!!!!! *aaaaaaaaack*

Who gives a frogs fat rear end about Joe the Fake Plumber! McCain, get off that subject, concede defeat, and go back one of our 13 homes and retire.

Barack, please put McCain down like the dead dog he is. My goodness this is the worst candidate I have ever seen. No coherent strategy, all trash talk, no ground game, no integrity, nothing.

Nov. 4 can't come soon enough.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

Keep the wealth?
Whose wealth?
Oh yeah, your wife's.

Obama wants to give 95% of Americans a tax cut. McSame wants to give 5% of Americans a tax cut.

Obama is country first!

McCain need to give up this joe the plumber mess......we all know that Joe is liar & don't pay his tax! Now that's a great Republican!

Did anyone hear about the Al qaeda endorsing Sen McCain?
Its scary cos they see that they cant match the military strenght so they are praying Sen McCain wins and weaken the economy more..that what President Bush did saying it will help their course on America.
God forbid this happen to this great Country

Biden's guffs are answered by Sen Obama appearing with a group of
so-called national security advisers, all white and looked more like a group right out the mothballs. By the way where are some of the
African-American knowledgeable and capable advisers,who we think
excist out there? Perhaps all that Sen Obama wants from the African-America community is their X on the ballot........

Help the working man? Now that's funny.

How many of these folks are making $250K?

jaye summed it up nicely.

All this "Joe the Plumber wants to be a small businessman" talk.

With this guys record of failing to pay his bills and his taxes, would you really want to work for him?

The plumber thing is getting a little old. Especially a guy who isn't really a plumber. Of course, McCain isn't a real presidential candidate, just an old geezer who apparently has nothing else to do and represents only the "haves" (people much like him). Twelve days and he's gone, if he lasts that long.

@DIRTY HARRY....

GET A REAL LIFE!!! YOU SEEM BITTER AND CLINGING TO YOUR HATE!!!!

Too little too late!!! Is McCain serious?!?!? Desparation has reached a new level...LOL

I find it interesting at how much the MEDIA and the democrats are doing to bury "Joe the plumber". It is because he has struck a cord with a LOT of hardworking Americans who do not ask anything from government and don't want anything taken from them by government.

"Joe the plumber" is a blue collar American icon.

He is what America is all about. Not Hollywood, not Harvard educated ELITISTS, not the MEDIA, not politicians, and he is NOT looking for a handout.

John McCain–aka Joe Blow. He's so full of hot air he may just float away.

NO SOCIALISM, NO WAY, NO HOW, NOBAMA. WAKE UP AMERICA SOCIALISM IS A BREWING AND WE NEED TO STOP THIS NOW FOR OUR GOOD AND OUR CHILDREN. VOTE MCCAIN 2008.

The only reason that 95% + of people benifit from Obama's plan is because over 35% do not pay taxes and will get a free check for doing nothing. So he is essence buying that presidency by getting all these people to vote in order to get the free money.

It is a smart winning strategy, however it is not right and I am shocked not 1 person in the media is calling him out on it (that I have heard of anyway)

Somehow, the "Etch A Sketch" toy keeps coming to mind whenever the McCain/Palin ticket spout off their nonsense irrespective of the subject matter.
They try, then erase, try, then erase..................

McCain and company should be sued for misleading their lost sheep.

I am sick of Joe the pulumer
I vote for Obama, yes we can

PLEASE READ

THE ROLLINGSTONE ARTICLE

"MAKE BELIEVE MAVERICK!!"

Your good thoughts about John McCain will go out the door!!!

More background on Joe the Plumber – he lived here in Arizona for a awhile and wound up in court for not paying his rent. This guy has about as much chance of making 250 large as I do of piloting the space shuttle.

Andrea..
News Flash.. Wolf Blitzer hes already interviewed Obama.

Search on Youtube for

Obama interview wolf blitzer

I think he's delusional. He's starting to believe his own lies.

Just call me "Mike the Obama voter"

McCain, McPalin, McFake Joe the Plumber need to find the nearest TOILET CUZ they are full of SH_T

Hard to believe that ANY American can overlook his desperation and flip flopping and outright lies.....must be the same "informed" folks who voted for a second Bush term.

No doubt in my mind that Joe the Plumber would have made a better VP pick than Palin the Moose Hunter.

The Republican Party is the party of the common man? What are these people thinking? Record profits for oil companies and $4 gas for Joe. Multi-million dollar golden parachutes for Wall St executives and a $700 billion bill for Joe. An endless war started under false pretenses and body bags for Joe's kids. These plumbers have cracks in their heads.

Sen. McCain stop fooling the American people with your Joe the Planted Plumber. How can a plumber earn more than $250,000 a year? Maybe Joe the Plumber is not a plumber but own the water company of the city. This time the American people cannot be fooled. We have enough of 8 bad years. ENOUGH!!!

Frank,

That is HILARIOUS!

"A plumbers' tour for McCain is very appropriate.

His campaign has sprung so many leaks, it would take an army of plumbers to plug them all."

joke.

At this point, McCain is looking beyond ridiculous and bordering on cuckoo.

They forgot the disclaimer!

"...the preceding message, along with all participants, was bought and paid for by Joe the CEO."

It's about time someone spoke up for the average Joe.

Goooooooooooo McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree CNN you owe Sarah an apology and us too . Are you an entertainment org. or news network . You have lost so much credibility . I only trust John King , but since he is evidently all alone as a news person ........ John McCain , look how loved he is in spite of you . We do not trust you .

keep beating the scare drum old man. the man that you are talking about is a dead beat.

Florida is Obama Country he can go to the little Hamlets in Red Neck Ville Florida but it won't change a thing . We hit the strrets every day and are getting our Voters to the poles early. Half of these hicks that show up to Mccains Rally are all unregistered and think its a KLAN RALLY thats why they show up to get new WHITE SHEETS !!!!!!!!!!

GOD SAVE OUR REPUBLIC FROM THE RIGHT WING TERRORISTS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He needs to go on a SAVE MY 401K TOUR

I'll be glad when this election is over so McCain and the moose shooter can fade away

Joe the plumber needs to pay the taxes he owes before the taxes he does not owe from his imaginary plumbing company. All people do is complaining about taxes then wonder why our economy struggles. Would people rather high inflation from an economy spinning out of control or pay extra taxes. Of course conservatives will reply self gratification first country last.

THAT LOUD FLUSHING SOUND IS YOUR CAMPAIGN GOING DOWN THE TOILET AND HEADING TO THE RIVER STYX....

I want a president that I can be proud of. That's why I voted yesterday for Senator Obama. I loved the Democratic convention and I'll love seeing him sworn in. God Bless.

CNN!! I'll try to get this message posted one more time...

After months of primaries, conventions, debates, news reports, and evne blogs, I have come to the decision that this election is about two issues: experience and race.

Experience: In 2000, we elected the Governor of Texas. Eight months after taking office, 09/11 occurred. The result of his experience? A war that we supported based on faulty evidence of WMD, and the thought that Osama bin Laden was somehow involved in Iraq. Personally, I think Jr. just wanted to finish the job Daddy started in 1991. Over 4,000 of our troops have been killed, the vast majority of Americans want us out, and the Iraqis have a surplus of money yet we continue to spend billions each month. In addition, Bush and his friends (yes, you McCain) allowed greed, corruption and deregulation to occur on Wall Street that has severely damaged Main Street. So I ask the question...is that the "experience" we really want? No matter how far he tries to distance himself from Bush, McCain (by his own words) voted with him over 90% of the time.

Race: We do not get to choose our parents. Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother from Kansas (Dorothy and Toto land – how "American"). He was orphaned and raised by his grandparents. He went to colleged, earned a law degree, and taught Consitutional Law. I think he knows the role of the VP! Yet, in 2008, there are still pockets of America that will not vote for him because he is bi-racial. Wake up, folks. Our country is in the toilet and it doesn't matter if he's white, black. brown, green, red, or blue...he's the one with the plan. This is not the 1840's, but our country seems once again divided by the issue of race.

As a white, Christian Republican, I voted on Tuesday for Obama. I am a teacher who makes less than "Joe or Jane the Plumber," and I am confident that Obama is the man for the job. Our job is to VOTE...VOTE EARLY if you can.

This is so stupid, and shows desperation.
If McCAin had any sense and could read he would know that what is spouting is not true...of course as he said about Obama today that he would say anything to get elected...well john look in the mirror because that is you and Palin.
Give up this Joe the plumber thing,.,.and telling us you have "plans" for this and that..and level with us...give us straight talk...at least once .. and tell us exactly what you are going to do and how.
Interesting that today you say you have issues with Bush...but John don;t you remember that " I voted with President Bush 90% of the time, more than even ,my republican colleages"...your words not mine.You are desperate and will say and do anything to get elected.
We , are not falling for your last minute stuff.

It's obvious to most Americans that Joe "the Plumber" who is not actually a Plumber and has a tax lien was a Mccain plant. It's been proven to Joe already that since he doesn't own his business yet he would save more under obama than McCain. Joe the Plumber knows he is no where close to owning his own business it's all Propaganda set forth by the Repubs to make it seem like McBush is fighting for the average Joe no pun intended, I wonder if McBush will explain to Joe how he can spend 150,000 on a fancy shopping spree. Give it up McCain no one is buying into your tactics-nothing is working for you-Ayers didn't work Acorn is not sticking-Wright won't work-Socialist label won't work and now the Joe the Plumber is not working.

When I hear John McCain talk about Joe the Plumber, it reminds me of the Super Mario Brothers game. Imagine the theme playing in the background, every time he says "Joe the Plumber" you get a coin.
You lose when you get to 250K.

Hey JOHN,
WE DON'T HAVE ANY WEALTH ANYMORE THANKS TO YOU AND BUSH.

Dirty Harry,

Conservatives have called her stupid, dumb and corrupt. Are you not listening?

It has happened in writing, on the radio airwaves and in a few off camera mistakes. And your point is what?

John McCain future looks like it will need a plumber .... drain baby drain!

Dirty Harry, they already did.... pay attention

Joe Schmoe.

Enough of this non-sense.

Enough of these failed policies.

Enough of this campaign ticket.

Enough of this senile old man.

Enough of the continuation of the Bush administration.

Go Obama, go Biden.

GOOD GOD WHEN WILL MCBUSH SHUT UP ABOUT THIS JOE THE PLUMBER??? MCBUSH IS KEEPING ON MISLEADING ABOUT THAT ISSUES. I SAW THE WHOLE CLIP WHEN OBAMA TALKED TO THIS PHONY JOE, PEOPLE GOOGLE IT AND WATCH IT!! MCBUSH IS STILL LYING ABOUT THIS!!!!

GO OBAMA-BIDEN 08 & 12

Obama has taken time off for serious personal business, and the caste of Palin, McCain and Giuliani are off to join Barnum and Bailey to keep the kiddies entertained. Yawn, no news!!!

I wish McCain would find real issues to talk about. He goes back and forth. He doesn't have to worry about Palin making a fool of herself and him, he's doing a fine job himself. He says he doesn't "need testing"..he's been tested,..he's got the scars to prove it. He repeats himself over and over to the point people can recite his stumps speeches. He accused Obama of being all over the place, no real issues of substances, changing his mind...blah blah blah...is he confusing himself with Obama. McCain erractic. The democrats have a clear understandable plan. Maybe the McCain should listen to the whole conversation between Obama and Joe the plumber.

Straight talk express??? Ridiculous...

The Republican National Committee is distributing a mail piece that says "Terrorists" on the front and opens to a big picture of Barack saying "Not Who You Think He Is."

John McCain - who promised to run a respectful campaign - said that he was "absolutely" proud of it.

With a leader who plays on American fears, ignorance and racism, we will surely be in a good place should God "do the right thing" on November 4th.

I'll try to get this message posted one more time...

There is zero doubt in my mind that McCain will be president elect on 11/5/08.

There is also zero doubt in my mind that in one of the coming elections after this one Obama will be elected. Just not this year

I can't fathom why they think this method is working.
Do they have internet access?

Joe the plumber si not a plumber; John McCain is not a leader!

They are a perfect pair.

I've been doing everything I can on these blogs to convince people to vote for Obama.

Now the DNC has not sent me my check.

NO MORE.

McCain/Palin '08

McCain's sounding like a Democrat.

The Republicans are nationalizing our banks.

Wow...I guess they all agree that we need some change. It's too bad that all their rhetoric is just for the election and that, if put back in office, will just continue the policies that have been so ruinous.

Oh By the way, not only Europe prefers Obama, he has one more supporter

Here is the news flash : Larijani: Iran prefers Obama

For those of us who saw the whole conversation between this man... and Obama and then the follow ups meaning ... that he is not ready nor could he afford to buy this bussiness... we are tired of it McCain..

Talk on the issues, let us know who you are and what you stand for other than you are against Senator Obama. Find your voice John.

I am sickened by the fact that all these years I actually believed that John McCain was a man of integrity.

He is a purely horrific excuse for a man and I would actually consider moving out of my own country before I'd let this man be my Commander-In-Chief.

The only thing McCain has tested is an ejection seat!

Give it a break already. Who cares.

Keep your wealth tour? Is that really going to resonate with working people?

Where is the diversity at McCain Palin rallies?

McCains turning into a jester.......we change the channel

Oh brother......each day McCain changs his theme. I can't wait for his November 5th theme.........."WHOSE FAULT WAS IT TOUR"

The "Joe the Plumber Tour?" A tour based off of a man who:

1. does not pay his taxes.
2. not even a licensed plumber. He is operating in the state illegally.
3. Only makes $40,000. He would get a tax cut under Obama and pretty much lied to Obama claiming he was ready to purchase the company.
4. told a right wing radio host that he was trying to trap Obama. (ie McCain's "gotcha journalism")
5. was registered with the now defunct Natural Law party. Wiki them for a good laugh.
6. has a relative who is the son-in-law of Charles Keating.

The Straight Talk express is running on a flat tire and a cracked engine.

A plumbers' tour for McCain is very appropriate.

His campaign has sprung so many leaks, it would take an army of plumbers to plug them all.

I think the republicans have run this "joe the plumber" into the ground. They are just preaching to a republican choir...no one else is listening.

McSame you are fooling no one...
98% of people will benefit from Obama's plan..

You are fighting for the 2% of people ! You are an evil man.

JOE THE PLUMBER is a FRAUD !!!!

McCain where were you yesterday and day before? You are so studpid that it seems as if you can't campaign without bging up dead stuff and stuff that should have been hog washed. Now please get a plan and tell the difference between Obama and McCain.

This is what the American People want and not just some washed up Joe the Plumber information.

John, Sarah and Joe you guys are al toast. So you think the american people like all your lies and attacks and they are going to vote for you. Did you know That John has Black ancesters in his family tree. One of the ones that are still live today are voting for Obama. If you dont believe this just go to yahoo, click on the news in the policts section.

Go home looooooser.

Vote Obama.........08

mccain is for the joes on wall street not main street, he's proven that, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

THEY'RE ALL SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY!!

amazing how the GOP poster boy is a fraud they know it and they dont care either.

I am so sick of joe the plumber rhethoric – who cares about this guy that dosen't even pay the taxes he owes? Who is not even a plumber!
My family will do better with Obama's tax cut because we make no where near 250,000 a year!!!

Way to go McCain. Get the people to vote AGAINST a tax cut for themselves. Ridiculous!

I was wondering when Wolf Blitzer is interviewing Sen Obama?after all it is only fair right?

A FAKE presidential candidate using a FAKE plumber.

By the way, CNN owes Sarah Palin an apology today! The CNN reporter made an outright bogus claim on a nationally aired interview in which he claimed Conservatives called he stupid, corrupt, dumb, etc. This was a blatant LIE! His only point was to mislead the nation! CNN, what do you have to say for this obvious misquote to mislead?
