CNN

He told reporters “I’m not going to sit here and tell you which way to vote”

What an idiot. And if this guy keeps complaining the media won't leave him alone, why does he keep commenting on the race?!

Wait a minute. Wasn't this guy a plant to begin with? This is newsworthy?

Fraud, fake, GOP shill. This guy is bogus.

Scott L.....

Do yourself a favor and find out the WHOLE story before torturing us with your ignorant posts!

I wouldn't let joe the fool hook up a garden hose.or slip n slide

Fred, we don't hate Samuel, we just think he is a liar, a tax cheat, and a fool. What are your weak points Fred? Other than being blind to the truth?

I have to say that I am SO sick of hearing the Republicans keep saying that Obama is going to spread the wealth around. It does not matter how many times the truth is told, the Repubs act like they simply did not hear it.... even if they are right there as it is being said.

Who are you going to believe? Me? Or your crazy old eyes and ears?
I think we are pretty sick all of us of hearing this stupid refrain from the Republicans.... and McCain and Palin..... as well as Joe the NOT REALLY a Plumber!

The best was when Neil Cavuto on Fox News was asking Joe the Plumber what he thought about the markets and the financial crisis. I'm sorry, but I don't give a rip what a plumber thinks about macroeconomics. I don't get financial advice from a plumber, just as I don't ask my garbage man about my cholesterol, just as I don't ask my accountant about what type of oil to put in my car...

Joe the Plumber is a fraud who never had any intention of voting for anyone but McGramps. He can take his plunger, if he truly has one, and stick it up his sink hole.

Everyone wants their face in the camera. Next, Palin will be running for president and Joe for V.P. They are celebrities now and will have their followers.

McCains plans to create jobs is to reduce corporate tax from 35% to 25%, citing that the reason corporation ship jobs overseas is the low corporate tax of others countries like Ireland with 11% tax.

Call me stupid, but can anyone explain how 25% tax compared with 11% tax would bring back jobs. This plan is nothing but welfare for large corporations that continue to ship jobs overseas.

Also can anyone exlain how business would hire more employees when there are no demand for the product and service they are provide. let me simplify this for everyone.

Consumer with no money= no demand for products.
No demand for products= no profits for businesses.
No profits for businesses= no hiring of new jobs.

so lower tax for corporation= large pay checks for CEO

WHEN DID STOPING GEORGE BUSH FAILED TAX POLICIES BECOME A SWITCH TO SOCIALISM???????????

WAKE UP AMERICA, USE YOURS BRAIN TO ANALYZE AND OBSERVE. STOP BEING PUPPETS FOR CAMPAIGN RETHORIC AND MEDIA BIASES LIKE FOXNEWS.

Yeah, and Mccain giving 300 billion of taxpayers money to banks to pay for BAD mortgages isn't. The banks got what they deserved they don't deserve ONE dollar! WAKE UP AMERICA, GET A CLUE. Joe will do better under Barack's plan than McCain's. How can people be so stupid.

Joe the idiot has been a plant all along. Too many stupid people sucked in by Johnnys games.

The McCain camp looks more pathetic by the day.....now there taking political advice from a plumber !!!!!

From the beginning, I have suspected that Joe is a McCain plant. Can't prove it, but the whole thing stinks. What is Joe going to do to help McCain? Most people are really tired of Joe. If McCain were smart he would listen to the people and talk about specific plans he has for solving the countrys problems. But, McCain is a "male diva," he doesn't listen to anyone. He hears only his own voice.

How much has the Republican Party paid this guy.. ? He probably is for McCain..he is also obviously a dull minded twit. Barack explained things to him personally , up front and intelligently.. this guy is aJoe the Dummy!

JOE, THE PLUMBER NEEDS TO PAY HIS TAXES, GET A LICENSE AND REGISTER TO VOTE WOULD HELP...

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Hey I hope Bill Clinton offers a cigar or two or three to Obama. He may need them even if he doesn't smoke.

Clinton the immoral president campaigning with a socialist . Now that is a sweet two some. Both Ivy leaguers also. Nice. ring don't you think?

Wealth redistribution? WOW give me a break. And Barbara the 65 year old piece of white trash. You are a piece of work.

One more potential Republican Congress!!!! Joe can run for Congress, and few years later another John McCain will pick him as VP. Congratulation GOP.

We're still discussing this person? Aren't his 15 minutes up yet? Sheesh.

A vile, thoroughly disagreeable political opportunist .... this sums up what Joe, John and Sarah all have to offer the USA ... the Unqualified State of Attention Seekers.

Johnny o Johnny how can you be dumber

You brought on an incompetent VP newcomer

With that you lost our vote over the summer

And are left with the support of a wannabe plumber

And who really cares what Joe really thinks

He's so out of touch and his opinion stinks

of sewage, and lies, and the Koolaid he drinks

and the Palin stands by and denies her links

to a crowd that is smitten by her lies as she winks

Smiling unknowing they sit on the brink

while the music is playing their titanic sinks

I guess it is possible, but not probable, that Joe the NOT REALLY a plumber had not met McCain before he spoke to Obama. But he DID meet Rush Limbaugh. And I find it highly probable that he was a plant at the Obama Campaign event!

Sad that they have to plant liars as well as tell lies to try to win this election. I think people are onto McCain and his camp!

Obama 2008

This is to Tim the obvious racist ignoramus for his shameful comment on here. Yep and tell me that Obama people are bad...please....Tim why dont you go read the constitution and find out what socialism is ....but the way you commented on here you obviously are grossly undereducated.

Mccain/Palin in hearing Mccain I get sick to my stomach Mccain is so nasty in his speaking and Mccain sound so angery and disrespectful. When I listen to Obama so uplifting and telling his supporters Unite! Unite! So refreshing to listen to Obama that is why i cast my vote for Obama and my whole family We are for Obama

Does Joe even know what socialism is? If Obama really was socialist the government would take over his plumbing business and make him a neurosurgeon.

For those of you that are actually throwing around the "S" word, why don't you pick up a copy of Communist Manifesto? That'll change your tune.

"That One" 08

I GUEST JOE THE PLUMMER IS JUST DUMMER FOR VOTING FOR MCCAIN.

AND WILL BE THE FIRST ONE COMPLAINING WHEN HIS TAXES IS RAISED.

BUT HE WONT PAY THEM ANYWAY.

GET A REAL JOB AND PAY YOUR TAXES JOE.

Its not just Joe the Plumber there was a bunch of small buisness owners on that bus going from city to city in Ohio voicing their opinions.

If you vote Oboma you are lazy and ANTI- AMERICAN !

October 28th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

If sharing the wealth is socialist ? What is trickle down ?

answer.... BULLSH**

they had control of the entire government from 2001 to 2007. They pushed through their entire trickle down garbage theory... WHERE THE HELL ARE THE JOBS FROM ALL THE "RE-INVESTMENT", ETC.

ANSWER... THERE "ARE" NO NEW JOBS CAUSE THEY TOOK THE TAX CUTS AND WENT OVERSEAS FOR THE CHEAP LABOR... "SUCKERS" !!!!!

So the "plumber" backs the "reformer"!!!

Since Joe seemed so worried about his taxes, I would advise him to vote for Barack Obama!!!!!!!

Joe is a real person. And he's not the only person who doesn't like the answer Obama gave him.

The Obama supporters who are writing in these blogs are just NEGATIVE, MEAN SPIRITED PEOPLE.

So much for "hope" and "change" when your followers always voice their opinions in such a DIVISIVE and OFFENSIVE ways.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Don't be fooled, this country isn't going to come together if Obama is elected.

I get disgusted every time I read these posts.

he is a fake and a liar. he is working for senator mccain and that is why he cant go into details about the tax plan. but he can point out the taxes for someone making 250,000 dollars. he is not even a plumber so they should call him joe the wanna be.

Samuel the low income, not well educated, handy man, is stumping for McCain under a dishonest moniker. Sounds about right.

Samuel will benfit from Obama's tax plan, but is too blind to see his foolishness.

This guy is a joke ... the joke that just won't go away or just keeps giving, I'm not really sure The fact that he hangs out with McCain shows how out of touch the Republican campaign has become. The era of American Idol politics? Gimme e break, please!!!

By Dad worked as a machinist in a tool factory for nearly 30 years. He was a hard working man and sacrificed a lot for his family. He and my mom with help from LBJ got his 9 kids an education. Many of us went on to graduate school. He and my mom taught us to value fairness, public service and education. He always paid his taxes on time(he grumbled about it when Reagan would waste it). He is a WWII vetran and knows more about the causes and effects of war than anyone currently in the White House or the Senator from Arizona. So you can keep Joe the plumber John McCain. Barack Obama has the support of Joe the Machinist.

Who cares what an uneducated liar thinks anyway? He has no credibility. I mean, I know that McCain chose one for VP, but why should care about this new one?

Ted:Canada,

"General welfare of the United States" does not mean "Welfare" (i.e., the entitlement program) for individual citizens.

Besides, this is our election. Why are you so interested in it?

Why doesn't this plumber wanna-be get a license and pay his taxes ?
You can see that he couldn't afford to make his ends meet under the
Bush/Cheney administration years, now he wants more of the same ?
I'm really questioning this jokers sanity.

Obama/Biden '08

Please can somebody help me understand this joe the plumber. Obama said you will get a tax break if you make less then 250k a year. I'm retired military, and have a full time job, and don't make no where near 250k, so I know joe is in the same boat. why wouldn't u vote for a man thats going to put more money in your pocket. JOE THE PLUMBER DO U KNOW 1+1=2 NOT 5. PLEASE PEOPLE IN MY PAY SCALE WAKE UP.

Joe the plumber is an idiot. He would be helped by Obama's tax plan so I wish he would just shut-up.

My word! Listening to Sam the non-plumber talk about history and politics is killing me. This guy knows nothing, and he is going to stump on the campaign trail for McCain tellin people untruth myths such as "Death to Israel with Obama" why don't you drop that Muslim smear to Joe! This guy has great credibility! Ha

i grest joe the plumberr is just plain dump.

I am STUNNED by this news.

Some news FROM CANADA folks!

POLLS OVER HERE SHOWS THAT 72% OF CANADIANS
SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT! This is
wonderful, because I have been BLOGGING FOR BARACK

YES YOU WILL, YES YOU WILL, YES YOU WILL!

We love you Barack Obama!

Who is he and why should I care???

That's a SHOCKER: Didn't this Joe guy vote for McCain during the primaries????

First Joe talks about how he would save more money under the Obama plan now he is scared that socialism is going to run out country. This guy is a flip flopper and jumped on McCains bandwagon after he was scrutinized by the Obama campaign for not being licensed and not paying taxes. Joe the Plumber is a joke!

I VOTED TODAY IN CHARLOTTE NC...SO THE SMILE ON MY FACE WILL BE HERE FOR A WHILE

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN!
I keep hearing "socialist" word being thrown around – what do you think social security is!! we are "social" beings – if you want to go live on a rock all by yourself and don't help anyone and help no one in return – be my guest…but meanwhile welcome to planet earth – there are billions of us living here and its all we got and we better help each other and this planet – or what the hell is the point! This Joe the Plumber Guy is being Used by the GOP as a PLOY to get an INVALID POINT ACROSS – I noticed in the background people holding up signs saying OBAMA!!!! AGAIN lets get real OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Terrific. A lying, tax-avoiding, unlicensed plumber should make a really effective spokesperson for the McCain campaign. Or hasn't heard that McCain and Caribou Barbie have already gone down the toilet? "Joe" to the rescue! They need you!

How much is the GOP going to spend on "Joe the plumber's make over?

personally i feel that the so called Joe the Plumber was a mccain plant in the Obama rallys. Why would someone come to a rally then ask that specific question then senator Mccain jumps on it. now the so called Joe the Plumber endorses senator John Mccain. for one why ask a question about a profession that you dont have. then rise a big fuss about it. your only and main complaint is about something you dont have? that is why i say he was a Mccain plant to try to steal some votes from obama.

Joe Who? I'm sorry but surely we are not talking about that loser citizen who doesn't want to pay his TAXES.

Give me a break, bt in all things in THANKS. Thank you Joe Wurzelbacher for helping me see what a joke the McCain/Palin ticket is.

plus i wonder if Bristol's boyfriend left those clothes that Palin claims they are not keeping. Word in Alaska is he is showing them off.

Fact check: Would Obama hike taxes on small businesses that employ 16 million?
The Verdict: False. McCain uses an overly broad interpretation of the NFIB survey's figures — applying Obama's tax plan to those figures in a way that is highly unlikely to match reality.

Fact check: McCain tax cuts give $200 billion to corporations, $4 billion to oil companies?
The Verdict: True. Obama's statement accurately reflects two studies of McCain's tax proposals.

How do you say, liar, hyporite, flip-flop

October 28, 2008
Palin calls for Stevens to resign
Posted: 03:00 PM ET

(CNN) – Sarah Palin said Tuesday Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens should resign his Senate seat, in a statement released hours after John McCain made a similar declaration.

RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) — Sarah Palin said Monday Sen. Ted Stevens' guilty verdict "is a sad day for Alaska."

As Governor of the State of Alaska, I will carefully now monitor the situation and I'll take any appropriate action as needed. In the meantime, I ask the people of Alaska to join me in respecting the workings of our judicial system and I'm confident that Senator Stevens from this point on will do the right thing for the people of Alaska," she said.

I wouldn't let joe the fool hook up a garden hose

Wonder if McCain can pay off Joe the Plumber's back taxes...

I would let joe the fool hook up a garden hose

Joe the Plumber-Another Republican who does not like paying taxes.
Of course, "only little people pay taxes."

So is McCain using "Joe the Plumber" as his economic advisor now?
Ha,.. He can't even pay his taxes, and he also lies! He's not even a plumber!

this is not a news... joe who are you??

This is so sicking

"Joe the Plumber" is opining as to what "socialism" is? Really? Where did he get his degree in political science or in economics? I'm really curious.

Are we that devolved in this country that an incompentent idiot (who happens to be a woman) governor of a tiny state can run for VP and some guy who can't even keep a plumber's license in good standing is lecturing us on political and economic theory?

Where do I get off this train?

I keep waiting for someone to speak up and mention to Joe...and remind John McCain that there are already different tax brackets in this country and the "wealthy" already pay higher rates! Are we socialists already?

Who is this guy again? Why the heck does it matter if he's backing McCain. He's not relevant at all.

My husband and I are small business owners in Ca. We have had are own construction Co. for 20 years . Some years we made 250,000
some 170,000 some 100,000. I would like to talk to Joe The Plumber and let him know what he is in for – if infact he ever does by a business and makes 250,000. My husband and I are voting for OBAMA and if you are in business for yourself and care about anybody but yourself you should to.
Just one more thing- Mcain has no idea what a small business owner goes through nor will he care once he gets your vote.

I can't believe all the people buying McCain/Palin lies about socialism. Guess what taxes do? They take a portion of your income and use it for national programs...and they always have. And, they have always been progressive, with different income levels being charged different amounts. Has our nation always been socialist then? No, of course not! And it won't under Obama either. The bailout by the current administration is much more socialistic than anything Obama is proposing as they just took our 700 billion dollars to "spread" our wealth to the financial institutions. How fair is that? And how about the checks Palin just sent everyone in Alaska? Taking the oil companies' money and 'redistributing" it back to the residents there? Taxes are taxes. Obama just wants to make sure the wealthy don't always get the breaks which is one of the reasons he's gotten my vote.

Hey Joe, isn't there a toilet that needs unclogging? Stop wasting America's time and attention, and get back to work being a handyman. America's toilets are depending on you.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WILL BE BUYING AIR TIME THIS WEEK FROM CNN, MSNBC, CSPAN, AND FOX NEWS. YES, THAT'S RIGHT FOX NEWS. I WILL BE SINGING FOR THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET BEGINNING AT 7:00 P.M. AND ENDING AT MIDNIGHT ON NOVEMBER 4TH. PLEASE TUNE IN MY FRIENDS ON THE NETWORKS LISTED ABOVE TO WITNESS THIS EVENT.

It never surprises me how disillusioned the Republicans and their supporters have become in this day and age. McCain's campaign has to be top 3 worst campaigns in the history of the practice. He basically has a tax evading, non-licensed guy who does plumbing illegally as a symbol on his campaign trail. What is wrong with his advisers??

Why is the news media still talking about this fraud and liar. I just don't get it anymore. Has civilization gone to the dogs. Since when is it okay for a person to lie, cheat and break the law and she people will accept them.Sarah Palin has been found guilty of Abusing her Power. Joe the Plumber is not who he stated he was, has no Plunbing license and has not paid hes taxes. I just don't understand Americans. No wonder the rest of us in the world all think the USA is nothing but a bunch of Rednecks and Bigots.When you get idiots who accept people like Pailn and Joe(real name Samuel) to represent them, then you have voters who are ignorant, uneducated morons with no knowledge of what is right or wrong. People like those should have their voting rights taken away from them. These people are the true idiots who are putting your country in danger.

My husband and I are small business owners in Ca. We have had are own construction Co. for 20 years . Some years we made 250,00
some 170,000 some 100,000. I would lkie to talk to Joe The Plumber and let him know what he is in for – if infact he ever does by a business and makes 250,000. My husband and I are voting for OBAMA and if you are in business for yourself and care about anybody but yourself you should to.

I asked my plumber, Bud, who he endorsed. He said Obama. So we're even.

This guy is so full of himself! My Dad was a licensed plumber, electrician and worked a 40 hour plus job a week and never came close to a quarter of a million dollars. However, my Dad is a descent, biblical man. This Joe is a disgrace to all Ohio plumbers, to any small business owners and to all of Ohioians. Pack up and move to Alaska JOE! Do us all a favor!!!!

Who in the world cares who this phony guy is voting for? He looks like a skinhead and was backing McCain from the start.

Obama/Biden 08

To the idiots who think Joe was a plant by the RNC please explain the years of living in the house? the wife? the kid? the neighbors who know him?

How did they know Obama was going to go down that block, go up to Joe and start talking to him?

Amazing how he lived there for years but some liberal sheep think he was snuck in and was waiting like some trap.

Ignore the socialist statement and attack the person for asking the question. No wonder you idiots support the person with little to no experience for president over other people in the democratic party that were running that have so much more.

Traci the Mom backs Obama...is this CNN worthy, really? Let's PLEASE raise the bar a bit, people.

This surprises any of us? This is news by this point why? Didn't Palin already bump Joe for "Tito the Builder?" Joe/Sam whoever he is, is a moot point by now, just a tool in a drawer of useless campaign tactics by the McPalin bunch that have done them no good!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!

Shocking...not!

WE all must vote for Obama. I don't have to work, Obama going to mail a check. I love it. Obama go go go go.

Ashcroft the Accountant here- -Give me 750 Billion and I'll take care of everything. And I'll even pay my taxes

THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA BENEFITS ABOUT 5% OF THE COUNTRY'S POPULATION. It amazes me how this party uses trickery to convince the remaining +/-40% to believe that their policies will benefit them, too. A clever combination of patriotic rhetoric, appealing to religious sentiments, and fear-mongering rouse the base all to advance the corrupt agendas of the extremely wealthy to acquire more wealth by any means necessary.

Now, they are actually convincing poor plumbers to follow this self-centered nonsense, too.

In a course in college I read a book entitled "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism". In sum, the ethic is called "predestination". This means that God's chosen people become rich, as it's God's will. The rest of us were simply not "chosen". This ethic, which is not in the Bible, squelches the guilt of seeing poverty juxtaposed with personal greed. The Protestant ethic may not be spoken of today, but it shaped American Capitalistic thought.

OBAMA 08

This is absolutely ridiculous. A fake plumber, who OWES taxes is now campaigning for McCain. I really didnt think it could get any worse......

Obama/Biden 2008

Good for Joe! Good for McCain!

Personally, I don't want an Obama presidency picking my pockets of hard-earned dollars to use as giveaways to the welfare culture that predominates in too much of our country.

It's my money. I earned it. I get to choose what I want to do with it, even if it's spent on a second lhouse or a third car. It's my money. And no one else has a right to it!

If Obama's elected, the only "change" I'll see is what little is left in my pockets after he's done going through them.

If the Rushpublican party wants to hitch their star to the Joe the Palin's celebrity, guidance and wisdom, they will remain a permanent 25 % minority for the next 4 election cycles, at least.

I can just see it: Palin/Joe The Plumber 2012

America needs a good bath from the last 8 years of bush-cheney-mccain-stevens.

OB08

Is that a freshly shaven head there, Joe? Boy you're looking smart nowadays and certainly acting the part. This may be a bit premature but heck why not?
Palin/Joe the Plumber 2012! You got my vote! Oh, and you too, John...

does joe the plumber plan on paying the taxes that he currently owes? i find it funny that mccain is promoting a tax evader.

Joe the Plumber you are ANTI- AMERICAN

and against the American Constitution

So for the record – democratic governments around the world have been spreading the “wealth around since the start of democracy” – it is called “taxation”

Joe read your own constitution –

Article I Section 8 Paragraph 1:
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

note the words "general welfare"

And is the RNC going to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to dress and shine the head of Joe the not real plumber?

joe the plumber is jerk pay your taxes jerkoff

We already knew that this liar and tax-stealing man backs McCain.

Who the heck cares about Joe The Plumber aka SAM. This guy has had his 15 minute famer. Is it any surprise he's for McCain. Joe the whomever is a loser and should concentrate on paying his taxers like the rest of us.

I'M DEAD SERIOUS! JOHN MC CAIN HAS TOTALLY LOST HIS MIND. PLEASE GOD LET OBAMA WIN THIS ELECTION!

Joe is just as stupid as McCain/Palin....so why wouldn't he back the most craziest campaign ever.

Joe is never going to start a business because he doesn't know how and believe me JM is not going to help him at all.

Vote tor JM if you like stupid.....

Joe the Plumber is a figment of his own imagination.
John McCain is a figment of his party's imagination.
Sarah Palin is wearing lipstick.

so joe the unlincensed plumber, who cant afford to buy that business, and who would pay less taxes under obama ( even he admitted it), still backs mccain. say it aint so joe. i pity the future of republican conservatism, if they have to take people off the street and parade them around as if they are the experts on global economic, domestic, and foreign relation policy. wow what a sad day to be a republican.

lol...are people taking their cues from an unlicensed plumber who owes back taxes and admitted that Obama's plan would benefit him more than McCain's yet is too stupid to vote in his own best interests? Give me a break...this is getting really stupid.

It is crazy to see that some guy who once upon a time standing on the sidelines is now this huge deal in the McCain campaign. In my opinion, people of the U.S are too smart to just listen to some random guy McCain picked up off the street. The McCain campaign picked this guy out of a crowd who disagreed with obama and made him a huge prop. It's really getting annoying because I dont give a crap about this Joe the plummer character. I want to hear about the issues, not about some "Dude" getting famous over a cheap publicity stunt.

Now I am really surprised.....this man now can pay his taxes with all the publicity he is getting from this. Well this man does not represent me. I make under 30k a year, and pay one third of it in taxes. So tell me Joe, John and Sarah how are you going to help me, I have been waiting to hear and haven't heard a thing yet.

I don't think we should underestimate the power of the common man. No matter what we think of this guy, he can make significant waves in short order. I don't think we can do much about it, but if he wants to live under McCain's form of socialism, that's his choice. That's right. I said McCain's form of socialism. By definition, socialism is a collective control of everything, including the means of production and land. By that measure, Obama's plan is no more socialist than Ronald Reagan's track record. Remember. Ronald Reagan raised taxes. On the other hand, Senator McCain's is not without its tax implications. What about those nice pretax health insurance benefits we enjoy right now? And do you believe McCain can really keep his promise not to raise taxes? The economists don't. In truth, they say that we already have some aspects of socialism with the recent bailout of the banking industry. Personally, I believe in spreading wealth. I like that concept, because I think everyone should be wealthier. I also believe that taxes are a good thing. Thank God for taxes! We can't have civilization without them.

Who cares? I would rather stick to challenges that face our nation. I think that his 15 minutes should have been up A LONG TIME AGO.

Nope, we aren't going to buy into the "Be very afraid" strategy again.
We know what Socialism is and Obama's plan isn't.
We know JohnMcCain is telling lies.
We know he's despatate for power.
Go home John. Go away Sarah.
Vote Obama

If sharing the wealth is socialist ? What is trickle down ?

Of course he's backing McCain, the dude doesn't believe in paying his fair share.

Obama / Biden 08

And Paris Hilton is backing Obama so I guess that more than cancels that one out.

October surprise?? Ha. Ha.

Weren't Joe's 15 minutes of fame up like a year ago? The McCain camp seems to think this guy gets traction in pro-America regions. Either McCain knows something I don't (like that voters are dumber than I thought, for example) or they are really desparate.

Breaking News! John McCain has won the endorsement of an unlicensed plumber with unpaid back taxes who likely would fare better under Obama's tax plan because it calls for no tax increase for working couples earning less than $250,000 a year — Joe the Plumber makes FAR less.

So basically, Joe The Plumber is a complete idiot who doesn't know what's good for him! Way to go for winning this endorsement Sen. McCain! Yet another idiot!

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.

In the words of Bugs Bunny (which is also a cartoon like Joe the "Duh, I don't need no license" Plumber). What a maroon!

say it ain't so joe
you and ms palin will make a beautiful couple

What?!?! McCain's plant supports him...I thought CNN was a 'news' network...why are they driving an 'Olds'?

fred said "Only Obama supporters would be low enough to hate on an American and call him an idiot. Welcome to America democrats. If you don't like our capitalism, go back to Russia!!!!!!"

Sure sounds like you are hating on Democrats who happen to be Americans. Sounds like pretty low behavior from you. Which country are you planning on moving to as apparently you won't allow yourself to stay here?

A deadbeat tax dodger with a fictional income bracket and no license to actually do his job is for McCain. No surprise.

Joe just can't get enough of the limelight. The media have created the Plumber Monster, just in time for Halloween!

Why is McCain doing this to himself? Every survey shows that about 100% of voters are tired of hearing about this whack job. They were done with him at the end of the last debate. Again, McCain's judgement is seriously impaired. Will he go bonkers and appoint Joe the Plumber as Secretary of the Treasury?

As a small business owner and McCain supporter, I'm offended that a guy who doesn't currently own a business, is nowhere close to owning a business that would profit over $250K, and is deliquent on his taxes, would have the audacity to speak on behalf of American small business owners.

The McCain camp should find a more credible representative.

I've had enough of Sam the tax evading, wannabe business owner!!!

Ok.. that's it. I am quitting my job and becoming a plumber. I want that "small" business that makes more then $250,000 a year in pure profit.
The worst part about idiots is that they never admit that they are idiots, because they have no idea that they are idiots.

Once again another hard working American for John McCain. It seems that the only people for Obama are the ones who want a hand out from the government.

unbelievable the things this camp is doing to make it, they got a whole band wagon of knuckleheads to go with their failed message which is......not quite sure concidering McCain/Palin are all over the place as far as policy is concerned, key reason i think they are losing is simple, they acted like the economy was ok and it wasnt, they just didnt get it like everything else, but finally they were caught on live tv not getting it, that to me seems to have made the difference here. If i put on Fox news for even a minute i understand how alot of small towns are a little behind on the news and facts. Go figure. All i know is its going to be real hard to forget all the idiotic things that were said by the McCain camp even while he says how he'll reach across the isle, this is a joke, not after creating a mob of your supporters, i cant see it happening buddy. So lets see what other Ditz's can we find to be a model for a "real" American? GOP circus show 08, was funny while it lasted.

Joe's got as much credibility as Sarah Palin - none at all. If he had been upfront with his question I might have more respect for him. But he's just as "ethical" as Sarah.

Fred....If you like unfettered, unregulated, run-wild capitalism maybe you should consider moving to China.

You know your campaign is sinking when Joe the plumber is on a bus tour through ohio this guy lied about buying the business he cannot afford to buy it owes about $1200. property tax does not have a plumbers license the guy can only work in the presence of a license plumber what can he tell?

But you have to give him credit where credit is due. Joe the Plumber is probably his best weapon to date. Sarah Palin failed to do that so, he got a citizen to do it for free. WOW! If McCain wins, I will feel sorry for Americans. Because they would have given the whitehouse to Bush's brother. I mean McCain is using LIES and FEAR (of socialism which is something that both sides of the Gov't can be accused of) to bully and recruit people to help him campaign on FALSE HOODS. Sounds like Pres Bush did that with the Iraq war a while back. Hmmm... Beware Americans.

I'm sure the GOP are paying him big $$$ to go out and spread their lies of "socialism." Joe said himself that the company he wanted to "buy" makes less than $250,000 a year. His argument is meaningless.

Hey! I'm Joe the Carpenter and I say purple is better than green (even though I actually look better in green). Doesn't that position me perfectly as a political hack and 2012 congressional candidate? You bet it does. In this inside-out bizarro world, people rise from destitute obscurity in a rope line to national prominence in one 30-second news cycle.

joe the pathological liar

Here is a little tip about Socialism:

IF A COUNTRY DICTATES HOW BIG YOUR COMPANY CAN BE, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES YOU CAN HAVE AND HOW MUCH IS THE MAXIMUM OF MONEY YOU CAN MAKE – that is Socialism

PUT RULES, LIKE, YOU CAN'T LIKE ABOUT YOUR COMPANY'S FINANCES, YOU CANT HAVE A P.O. BOX IN GUAM SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES, THE FOOD YOU PRODUCE IS INSPECTED AND WONT KILL YOU IF YOU EAT IT, AND IF THE COUNTRY SAYS YOU CAN BE AS BIG AS YOU CAN AND MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN (within the rules and without having 5000 people lose their 401K's) – is called GOOD POLICY, not Socialism

Republicans have had 50 years of scaring you from the Evil Communist empire, and a whole generation of people (baby boomers) bought it. Now look where we are.

REGYLLATIONS DO NOT EQUAL SOCIALISM (always remember that when some Republican yaps about the evils of becoming Socialist)

No Kidding. This guy wasn't an undecided voter.

So what's the news here, " McCain's punchline backs McCain."

The sad thing is that Joe, Sam or whatever his name is, either doesn't understand that on his one issue, taxes, he's voting against his own interests, or, understands and is voting for McCain for some other reason. I don't know what his reason is but his stated reason and conclusion don't add up(even if he did make 250K).

--------–
Socialism -
a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

Anyone calling Obama's tax plan socialist or socialistic, either doesn't know what they are talking about or is being purposefully deceitful.

Yep, he symbolizes the type of folks supporting that ticket. He's just like them.......a liar and he doesn't pay his taxes and now GOP wants him to run. Sad, sad for the republicans.......what's happened to your partY??

Big surprise....not! But tell me, this is news why??? Good ole Joe is looking to lengthen the 15 min. of fame because the news started to die down and he couldn't let that spot light deminish now could he? What a joke, and McCain just loves saying how Joe didn't ask for the attention, well he's not exactly pushing it away now is he?

There’s a surprise!! Another opportunistic, lying, Republican who knows absolutely nothing about economics or our tax laws. Joe the Plumber and all the rest of the idiots the RNC ads are touting are simple minded idiots who will do anything for their party and nothing for America.

News Flash:

Fact check: McCain tax cuts give $200 billion to corporations, $4 billion to oil companies?

“Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, speaking in Canton, Ohio, on October 27, referred to Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's tax plans and said, "It's not change when he wants to give $200 billion to the biggest corporations or $4 billion to the oil companies."

The Verdict: True. Obama's statement accurately reflects two studies of McCain's tax proposals.

I hope Joe the Plumber tries to run for elected office. I hope Sarah Palin tries to run in 2012 on top of the ticket. I hope Ted Stevens stays in it til the end.

Let these fools keep defining the Republican Party.

hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha......ummmmmmm......hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaahahaaaaaahaaaaaa!!!!!

Is McCain such a coward that he can’t talk face-to-face with Obama about the real issues?

He has to send a fake plumber to do his talking.

Pitiful.

Fact check: Would Obama hike taxes on small businesses that employ 16 million?

The Verdict: False. McCain uses an overly broad interpretation of the NFIB survey's figures — applying Obama's tax plan to those figures in a way that is highly unlikely to match reality.

Fact check: McCain tax cuts give $200 billion to corporations, $4 billion to oil companies?

The Verdict: True. Obama's statement accurately reflects two studies of McCain's tax proposals.

It doesn't matter what Joe thinks, or what the rest of you sheep think. This election has been bought and paid for by hard working Middle Eastern dollars, and by Allah, Obama will be president.

You have the collective IQ of a tsetse fly.

And you thought your vote counted? BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It's all a media ploy for ratings! RIGHT CNN??!!

(Of course my vote won't count. All that matters is MONEY. Obama has gotten lots of it...just ask his Syrian born backers, his Iranian born advisors, his Pakastani born former college roommates. Oh, and where'd the money to go to Harvard come from? Or the world trip? Or Columbia? College loans? then how did he buy that property in Chicago that cost over a million?) Follow the money, it doesn't add up!

How stupid ARE you people? (pretty derned stupid, apparantly)

Best part...he steals Hillary's ideas. Guess she's not that stupid after all, eh?

LOL, GO McCAIN!!!

Joe and John reminds me of the movie "Dumb and Dumber"... This is just outrageous. I am so sick of GOP this time. Too many political stunts and all the negativeness... Can't take it anymore...

I back Obama.

Can my story be the next headline on CNN News?

McCain called Bushes tax cuts on the wealthy "irresponsible". Now he backs them wholeheartedly. Obama wants to roll back these tax cuts to the level during the Clinton era. According to the 2008 McCain, the Clinton era tax brackets were "socialism", yet by logic the responsible option. So in effect, using his own logic and descriptive words, McCain favored "socialism".

For the record, tax rates by income, by definition, do not constitute socialism. A more just form of capitalism doesn't equate to socialism. And obviously, a more just form of capitalism, is what America desperately needs.

Obama08

someone tell me why this guy is gettin attention at all.
if i ever heard/saw someone who truly was not living a true american life; i.e., not paying taxes, illegally performing work as a plumber (mccain hired him to fix his 8 or 9 homes...so mccain is supporting anti-american activites...), no license, the list goes on.
why is the media giving him attention?
do they not have anything of more value to report on?
not enough drama in this election?
need to create more?
i'm sick of mccain/palin/joe the plumber.
heck, even joe liberman is backiong away from mccain.
that ought to tell you something....

This guy is an idiot, just like the rest of them. These people vote against their own best interest, like the Republicans give a hoot about them! What a joke. Has this country not learned anything in the last 8 years? These were the same promises made by the Republicans before. Where are we know? Their all richer, and we're all poorer.

WAKE UP AMERICA, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

DESPERATION IS WHAT I CALL THE MCINSANE CAMP. HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?

ENOUGH ABOUT JOE THE FREAKING PLUMBER!!!! I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH JOE THE PUPPET!!

Joe Wurzelbacher, tax evader, unlicensed plumber, would-be libertarian, does not speak for me.

As if we didn't know that. I knew Joe the Plumber backed McCain when he asked Barack that stupid question. Why was the question stupid? Because Joe the plumber had to fabricate the question to make it sound as if he would actually benefit from making over 250 thousand dollars. He lied because he's not a plumber, has not paid his back taxes which would be hard for him to buy a 270 thousand dollar business. And, the media found out the business Joe wants to buy isn't worth the money.

But Joe had to say what he said to make it sound it sound as if making over 250 thousand dollars was relevant to him. It is not, he doesn't make that much money, but like most Rethugs the upper crust had managed to make them think they do make that much. They want to believe that they are at the top of the trickle down theory instead of the bottom. John McCain is a phony and so is Joe the Would-Be-Plumber.

OMG IN NOT JOE THE PLUMBER.... tHIS MAN IS NOT A ECONOMIC ADVISER, A BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, A BUSINESS OWNER, WHY OH WHY DOES ANYONE CARE WHAT THE HECK THIS MAN THINKS !!!!

MCCAIN NEED TO SIT DONE WITH ECONOMIC ADVISERS, BUSINESS CEO'S FINANCIAL POWERHOUSES NOT JOE THE PLUMBER

NOW WE SEE THAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ALSO LISTENING TO HI, ON HIS FOREIGN POLICY

FIRST SARAH PALIN NOW JOE ...
MCCAIN WOULD NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO THESE BRILLANT SCHOLARS IF HE WAS SECURE IN HIS OWN ABILITY TO HANDLE THE ECONOMY

AND? SO? WHO CARES? (But McPalin)

Democrats 08!

How can any even half-way intelligent person vote for this ticket?

Seriously.

WTH is wrong with 40% of America?

I’m humiliated by this…just imagine what we look like to the rest of the world!

Well, I thought Karl Rove could do better than this stupid stunt..his stunts aren't working nowadays

Wow! That's a surprise!

WOW! What a president to be! Using LIES and FEAR to recruit people to help him campaign. Would he use LIES and FEAR to recruit soldiers to fight an unneccessary war just to re-live his Vietnam days? Hmmmm. This wreaks of propanganda. Hitler did that.

It truly amazes me that with all the pressing problems the country is going to have to deal with after eight years of the most ruinous administration in history,that a insignificant comment can be so blown out of context and make a household name,not to mention a campaign fixture out of a schmoe like this.

Only Obama supporters would be low enough to hate on an American and call him an idiot. Welcome to America democrats. If you don't like our capitalism, go back to Russia!!!!!!

this guy should worry more about paying his taxes then backing McCain....this guy like most of McCain's miss guided campaign is a tragic hoax. the question not asked on CNN or any other news station is if John McCain can not lead his own campaign, how in the world will he lead our Nation? McCain had a 3 month head start and did NOTHING, McCain has 159 lobbyist running his campaign, including a Lobbyist for Saddam as the head of his transition team, McCain will give tax cuts (in the tune of hundreds of Billions) to corporations and big oil....but NOTHING to 100Million of us....not this time John

I am trying to be careful how I say this, however, no disrespect meant to Joe the Plumber, but you are not a licensed plumber, you really don't have the education or experience to understand how the John McCain campaign are just using you, and I think you are just another free-loader who is out to get what ever free ride you can take advantage of. Best of luck if McCain loses. I am sure you never heard of the word "socialism" before John McCain. That's to bad for you.

George,

You're kidding right, a senile man and a crazy woman?
You would vote for that couple?

No wonder this country is in such a mess, but as long as gay's can't marry and abortion becomes illegal...

...WHO CARES IF OUR BOYS AND GIRLS ARE DYING IN IRAQ,
...WHO CARES THERE IS A MOTGAGE MELTOWN,
...WHO CARES IF OVER 45 MILLION OF PEOPLE IN THE US DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE

Who gives a rats rear end what this guy thinks? He's an ignorant Republican hack who has already cast one vote for McCain. His endorsement is news? Give us a break.

Obama-Biden '08!

VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN AMERICA, LETS PUT HONOR BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Joe likes McCain because the GOP opposes regulation. He can be a plumber without a license with a Republican. Poor Joe to dumb to know when the Republicans will rob him again. Hey Joe where's the wealth now?

why do they view these tax adjustments as socialism? they weren't socialism back in the '90s when they were first put in place.

Stop the press...who cares what this guy thinks?

Too bad he doesn't own a small business. He's just a delusional, should belong to a psychiatric ward. People like him are a shame for the honest guys, real business owners that strive to cope with the economy downturn.

this guy is a big joke just like the republican party. mcsame,pitbull and the whole bunch are just big clowns. well i hope they know the circus pulls out of town next week. enough of these losers. he has stretched his 15 mins of fame into a hour.

OBAMA/BIDEN ALL THE WAY 2008/2012

Every once in a while I actually feel a little sorry for John McCain (not Sara Palin)...but than a story like this emerges and one can not help but wonder how did this group of clowns get as far as they did! What an insult to the intelligences of the people of this great country!

Enough of this guy already.

Joe the Plumber is such a fraud! He lied to Obama and said the he was going to buy a business for $250,000 – $280,000 and wanted to know if Obama would raise his taxes. Then we find out that not only is he NOT a licensed Plumber, he does not pay his taxes and only makes about $40,000 a year. How in the world did he plan to buy the business? This is just another one of the gimmicks that the McCain campaign brought out to try to bring life to his failing campaign. So sad!!!

McCain is now attacking his own running mate Sarah Palin. Fight for Palin by voting for Bob Barr!

What A Surprise, I Guess He Doesn't Want That Tax Cut.

Obama/Biden 08'

Speak for your own small business Joe. My small business supports Obama.

John McCain SPREADS AMERICA’S WEALTH TO FLDS polygamists in Colorado City, Arizona who practice tyranny over women and children and receive 25-30 million a year in taxpayer dollars.

McCain/Palin = The Socialist Express

JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT GOING TO GIVE MY MONEY TO A BUNCH OF POLYGAMIST FREAKS!!!

do we care.... his vote is as important as mine

Obama 08!!!!

COLIN POWELL OR JOE THE PLUMBER hmmmmmm

Yeah all the plumbers I know make around 40k a year. Maybe when they make over 250k a year they will vote for McCain too.

This guy is a fraud on so many levels it isn't even funny. Now conservative radio shows are taking up money and trying to pay his back taxes??! This guy wants to run for Congress in 2010? Now I as an independent understand why there are so many disinfranchised Republicans in the party today. The party has no real vision of self, and it's eating away at it's base like a slow growing terminal cancer.

Tick Tock......Joe's 15 minutes of fame is almost over........next Tuesday night Joe the plumber and that Bimbo Sarah Palin will both be farts in the wind......

Maybe Joe and Sarah along with her entire disfuntional family can go on Jerry Springer

It's so funny how much this guy scares you!!

No one cares what Joe the Lying Plumber think. Your 15 minutes is over, please go home and pay your taxes.

Big Surprise!

Yeah, he works against his own best interest. Not exactly intelligent.

Hi,

I'm Poochie the Poodle. I want to be on television just like Joe. I"m "thinking" about buying a plumbing business too. Let's be fair America, dogs unite.

If McCain has been working with Obama as a colleague in the Senate, why didn't he know about and capitalize on these tax attacks BEFORE this Joe the Plumber was dreamed up?

McCain, you are putting an unqualified Governor and a plumber by your side to make your message. Wear your dunce-cap with pride sir!

So McCain thinks a person who was not truthful about his situation and doesn't pay his taxes is an American hero ? This alone should tell people what type of person McCain is. Talk about judgement.

release the tapes L.A.Times....

Joe – from one who pays their taxes to one who does NOT – YOU should stick to toilets!

Joe also thinks that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel. This was live on Fox, and they called him on it. JTP has no credibility, much like the rest of McCain's campaign.

Joe the FAKE is a joke and fake. This is an example how McCain is cheating the Americans and hiding his Bush agenda!

Joe the Plummer is going to regret voting for McCain just like he regrets voting for Bush.

Some people will never change.

"Thank you sir, may I have another"

This guy isnt even a plumber, he is just a crook like Ted Stevens..... no wonder the Republicans love him so much, he fits in so well with all of the criminals in the Republican party!!!!

Obama Biden

John McCain's plant who was endorsing him anyway. He is a part of the GOP Family.

Use your Brains, WE NEED CHANGE

Obama/Biden 08

Shocking!!!!!!

I'd rather have Colin Powell and Warren Buffet's endorsement

The fact that CNN keeps jumping on Pee Wee The Plumber's bandwagon everytime McMonster dangles him like raw meat in front of the snarling cult he calls followers knowing this guy's MO has been exposed as a lie and set up is the biggest joke of all. What next? You all gonna jump on the same stupid truck when McCain and Palin storm the jail Ashley Todd is in so they can free her from the liberal commies holding her against her will to denounce the anti-Jane/Joe six-pack establishment?

9 people on this blogsite are going to vote for Obama the professor of constitution Law not

mcCain the loser/liar
OR
Palin the soon-to-be impeached

we all knew this was planned! Do you really think we are crazy!

I mean what plumber would refuse to vote for Obama, and opt for McSsame policies?

I am an Obama supporter and I never identified to Joe, whateveer his name is.

Birds of a Keating fly together.

My dog, Poochie The Poodle is protesting. He wants just as much media attention as Joe The Plumber. He says his opinion is just as important because he's "thinking" about buying a plumbing business also. He's also behind in paying his taxes, like Joe. He wants to know if America is bias because he's a dog.

Let the dogs have their say!

What is scary is that this guy doesn't know he is being used as a gimmick by McCain and company to cover the butts of the small businesses that make multi-million dollar deals on a quarterly basis – i.e. Cindy and her beer company and the other fat cats in Wall Street. Poor Joe! Maybe he should get a side job as an unlicensed electrician to help buy the business he desires but cant afford.

Hey Everybody lets join in the "Lets bash Joe" blog on CNN. I know all he did was ask a legitimate question of a person running for president who came to his neighborhood and came up to him to see what he thought.

But by all means lets attack ever single aspect of him and his life for asking tough question of "the One" because "the One" gave a stupid answer and is being shown in a light the press has spent a long time trying to hide.

If we attack him then we don't have to deal with the fact that Obama is a socialist idiot who wants to spread the wealth around.

Why do I know more about Joe then I do about Barack Obama? Pathetic Yellow Journalism at its best CNN. Hearst would be proud of what you have become.

How about real news like the footage of Obama praising a person at a Jew Bash dinner? Ohh right the LA Times won't let us see it so lets hear more about Palins clothes.

I am just SHOCKED...a tax-evading CROOK is going to vote republican!

The guy owes back taxes and works in pooh all day-the republican party is a good place for him!

What a sad commentary on the McCain/Palin campaign?

Joe the plumber is a fraud . He is not a licensed plumber. He does not have the money to purchase the two-man plumbing business where he works. The two-man plumbing business where he works is not even for sale.

McCain and Palin are not good for America. They are devisive and focus on our differences which can only further polarize our country.

McCain has sold his soul for the presidency. It is quite pathetic, actually.

Palin is the laughing stock of the world. I guess she never heard the old adage, "it is best to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I'm certain the people of Alaska are ashamed of her and ashamed of themselves for selecting her as governor.

CNN who the hell cares about Joe The Plumber AKA SAM. What the heck is going on with his 15 minute famer? I wouldn't care if he support my momma, who the heck cares...

WHY IS THIS NEWS!!! ITS JUST ANOTHER DUMMY FOR MCCAIN!

Joe is only one voter, who by the way ,lied about that he was anywhere near buying a business. He does not, obviously know what socialism is and confuses it with a progressive tax system. You want things to get worse in the economy for 95% of Americans -vote McCain. You think the top 5% should continue to profit off 95% of the country-vote McCain. You don't get that there are so many loopholes that corporations pay the lowest taxes (regardless of their tax bracket) -vote Mc Cain. You are not going to complain that you can't afford the rising cost of living and decrease in salary, benefits, and medicare for the next four years-vote McCain. He's not Joe the Plumber -he's JOE theDUMBER

Comrad Obama we servants bow to you oh master!

Please tax the rich white man so I may continue to do nothing but eat the fried chicken the rich white man paid for.

If he is too ignorant to vote for the person whose policies have been shown to be vastly in his favor, than he can go right ahead. See us crazy liberals think that you have the right to make decisions for yourself, even if they are really really stupid.

he should be more scared of IRS, clown!

My dog, Poochie The Poodle is protesting. He wants just as much face time as Joe The Plumber. He says his opinion is just as important because he's "thinking" about buying a plumbing business also.

Message to Joe the Plumber – I have been a small businessman for the past 20 years and I support Barack Obama – he is the best choice for our country at this time – I am also retired from the miltary having served on active duty for 21 years – we are not all being taken in by McCain and Palin. Just maybe you should take a second look as there are lots of folks just like me.

Hey what happened to my comment about CNN obsessed with this guy and Palin– Losers for Losers!!!!!

Joe your 15 minutes are up

the Mc Cain campagn organized this plot entirely. Joe the plumber was payed to do all this. Can't wait to finish with all this nonsence.

Obama / Biden 08

Tax evation and votes republican, no suprise there.

Please stop reporting about Joe the Plumber! I'm getting tired of hearing it at least a hundred times every day. What does Joe the plumber have to do with the economy and the two wars that is going on. PLEASE get back to the issues and the candidates. Its like the media is all over this guy. Thanks!

LOL, did Joe "the plumber" thing it was socialism when it was Bill Clinton enacting the tax rates? We have had a progressive tax system for who knows how long, but now it is socialism? In 2000, John McCain was defending the view of the rich paying more in taxes but now it is socialism.

Maybe Joe ought to carve a backwards "B" on his face and then have the McCain communications manager tell the press that a black man did this to him and B stands for Obama. Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Oh my god... A republican is actually supporting McCain.

One of a last in a dying breed. This is noteworthy.

I'm Stephanie the small business owner, and I voted early for Barack Obama (oh, and I only hire licensed plumbers).

This is really becoming a pain in the butt. I mean who cares what this guys thinks or says. He is not running for president. While he's out and about with his face in the camera, doesn't he have a job he needs to be at?

He spends too much time trying to get tv time.

Too bad he can't vote for him since he's not registered.

This guy is the biggest joke to come out of this entire thing, well, besides that nutjob Sarah Palin.

WHO CARES! THROW THIS GUY BACK UNDER THE ROCK. SINCE WE A STEREOTYPING HE IS A TYPICAL McCAIN/PALIN SUPPORTER.

GOD HELP US IF THESE REPUBLICANS GET INTO OFFICE YET AGAIN.

I guess this guy doesn't want the tax breaks Obama is offering him. I guess he'd rather live under the delusion that most small business owners make more than $250,000.

Joe , doesnt like taxes to the point where he owes the IRS! not much on taxes huh. obama's plan seems to save him some on the current taxes he's not much on paying. i'm going to call myself a plumber too w/o even having a liscense to do so.

I am totally shocked! Joe the plumber is stumping for the man who brought him national fame! Who'd have thought!

I think this is absolutely absurd! Who cares who "Joe the Plumber" endorses. The media is simply perpetuating this ridiculousness.

wow, WHO CARES?!?

WHO CARES HE'S A HICK AND HE'S NOT EVEN A LICENSED PLUMBER !!

as a resident of a fairly socialist country- and that would be canada, not russia- i can't help but wonder: why do americans fear socialism so much? america is the worlds largest economy, the richest country in the world with a large population, and yet, there are quite a few countries in which the standard of living is measurably higher year after year, and basically all of these countries implement a much greater degree of socialism than does the US.

Is he a "closet" AIN member????

Joe, I'm scared for our country should McCain somehow win the White House. If this happens, pray hard for our country.

Okay, didn't we already prove that 1.) "Joe" was already a McCain backer before he met Obama, and 2.) He's a fraud!? Come on. They're parading liars and cheats around in order to gain support! This isn't right!

@Scott

You should be more concerned about the video tape the LA Times is suppressing showing Obama laughing and nodding his head at anti-Israel jokes.

Yay another skinhead for McCain!

Wurzelbacher said Tuesday. “But if you look at the basic facts, [Obama] wants to spend a million or a trillion dollars in new spending. Where is he going to get it?”

Counter question: Where does John McCain get the trillions needed and that he will need to pay for his and Bush's unending war in Iraq? Has this Joe EVER looked at our Pentagon's budget? Has he ever realized that its budget is bigger than the next 20 nations' budgets combined? Who are they preparing to invade anyway? Does he ever realize that it is his taxes going off to pay for bullets, tanks, bombs and planes to be shot off/wasted in a country that is simply waiting for us to leave so they can get on with their killing of each other as they wage their stupid civil war anyway?

Does he or any of the Republicans realize that you can not shove democracy down someone else's throat if they don't want it? Democracy has to come from within a person. It can not be forced upon someone, most of all by some hypocritical oil-addicted nation.

If Obama does require us to pay for things, why is it so bad that it is done right here?

Obama is a Marxist. Read his books. He is also does whatever it takes to further his political career. Read HIS books. The GOP does not have to make anything up Obama admits to it all- Read his books, then if you still are in awe of this man, vote for him, but for goodness sakes be informed not deluded.

Amazing how intense the left attacks a poor guy who just asked a question, or is asking your elected officals a straight question no longer allowed in this country. Obama came to him, not the other way around, then Obama has the gall to atack the guy. I swear, you liberals are like cattle, you'd follow Obama off a cliff if he lead you over one in the pasture.

You win! I'm going back to Huffington Post.

Oh Please,

Does anybdody cares about Joe the Plumber or who he endorses. McCain wants to talk about patriotism how about McCain tell Joey boy to pay his TAXES!!

I'm shocked. What's with Americans and your unhealthy fear of 'socialism'? First, many clearly don't even get what it is. Second, Sweden, Germany, Italy, hell even Canada seem to be doing pretty well, given we're a bunch of pinkos... who take care of those who can't take care of themselves, not because they're slacking losers, which are the minority, but they're down on their luck, new immigrants trying to get on their feet, or physically or mentally unable to work. Gee, what a terrible thing we're doing, taking care of each other. Keep your rugged individualist ethos south of the 49th parallel... I'm happy to give others a hand up. They may just do the same for me if I ever unfortunately find myself down on my luck.

Come on, CNN. Know that you limit the comments – often only one or two are posted. It seems to me that you are trying to save McCain's neck.

Again, I write that I don't understand why this joker (Joe, the Plumber) gets so much attention from the media when most Americans simply want to know the facts about candidates and see "Joe" to be a big joke!

If he and McCain campaign together perhaps they could call it the I Don't Pay My Fair Share Tour, or the Leave The Deficit For Our Children To Pay Tour, or the I've Got Mine To Hell With You Tour. I wonder who paid for those highways they'll be using...

Demand LA Times release the tape of Obama laughing at Israel destruction jokes.

Sickening that the LA Times will NOT release the video tape they claim they have.

250 down to 200 to 150k in Biden speech on your taxes. No retractions yet.

See you suckers at the polls!

this whole thing is a giant JOKE

Isn't this guy's fifteen minutes over yet?

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is John McShame serious! How lame and desparate can you get! SNL is going to love this.

Joe the Bum – he is only trying to profit!

I really care what an unlicensed plumber who hasn't even payed last year's taxes thinks.

Uh........ who cares what that loser thinks in fact the more he is on the trail with mcCain the worse it is for the GOPS. Fact checked: found out that the Obama economic plan works better for Joe the Plumber anyway. This point keeps getting out in the media and blogosphere, so it really helps Obama instead.

Is this news? He was obviously rooting for McCain from the beginning. This guy is such a joke–I don't understand these people who would be much better off under Obama but vote against their own interests.

@ Ken in Dallas

Indeed there is symmetry in politics: most of the time it's the same thing coming out of their mouths that comes out of the other end.

I am sick of this Joe the Plumber character. This man needs Obama's help. He is an average Joe that has no money and no license. And he is being used by McShame and Ms. Clueless.

Come fix my toilet and stop pretending you make 250K. You are one of us but just dont know it. YOU ARE NOT RICH JOE AND MCCAIN IS NOT FOR YOU!!!!!

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS JOE GUY???? Shouldn't we really be discussing how OBAMA's a Marxist?

I really care what an unlicensed plumber who didn't even pay the taxes he owed for last year thinks.

joe the plumber looks like a skinhead....

this is the RNC's base....pathetic!

Joe seems to be alot more intelligent than several of the CNN posters, Vince CA, since like myself he was able to figure out that Obamas plan to redistribute income is flat out wrong and should not take place in this country and he could hide behind the "95% rhetoric "all he wants but it just isn't true or realistic. These are the things that Joe was ablt to figure out that several of you cannot.

McCain Palin 08

Why does this yahoo get so much coverage? Shame on all the media who are courting this joker!

come on we have gone through this it 's joe the this, joe the that. It's like a surprise contest nowdays what is the campaign going to bring out next after "joe the plumber" in my opinion i would say it's going to be mccain the looser

A tax evader and a dishonest politician. Priceless.

This still won't work. Americans couldn't care less, we are focussed on voting for the next POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama/Biden 08

Bless Sam's heart but he is not a licenced plumber and is no where near buying a business, whatever the size. Why is McCain continuing this myth that everyone knows now has been exaggerated and misrepresented? Under Sam's real circumstances, he would actually benefit far more from Obama's policies. Also, real small business owners would also benefit more from Obama's plan. They should read the party platforms of both parties and then make an educated decision.

I laugh at this "Joe the Plummber". What crudentials does he have? He's not licensed...he doesn't make over 250K...He owes back taxes...he gets more under Obama's Tax plan...need I say more?

I think if the American people falls to this non-sense by "Joe the plummber" we deserve what we get and that's 4 more years of the same!!!

But lets be honest with a reality check....This Joe Shmoe....isn't going to do jack to change this race...Not this time!!!

This does show desperation in McCain's camp. I mean common...he can't afford anybody else so he's paying Joe to do this? I rather have the endorsement of Colin Powell over "Joe Shmoe" anyday!!!

Hey I'm a lazy bum...I'd rather live off of the hard work of others than have to actually work hard myself! Don't forget those free goernment programs! YOU CAN'T ELECT OBAMA QUICK ENOUGH FOR ME!!!!!

Joe the (so what if i really am not a licensed plumber and wasn't really planning to buy a small business nor do i have the money on my $40K per year salary) Plumber.

Obama is endorsed by Colin Powell; McCain is endorsed by Joe the Plumber. Speaks volumes about who is the most credible candidate for President.

Let's see, a guy who lied about who he was and what he could do is backing McCain? "Joe The Plumber" can't afford to buy a company. He's not a licensed plumber. He owes back taxes. In spite of all these little "problems", the McCain campaign is treating him like the second coming of Rush Limbaugh. Pretty hilarious!

I'm not sure why you guys are even reporting about this guy. Why?

At least if you're going to cover him, mention his extremist comments like when he said electing Obama would mean "the death of Israel".

Great stuff.

Joe, the non-licensed plumber?

the guy is not even a registered plumber so how can he suffer under obama's plan? As a matter of fact, because he is not registered, he is probably evading paying any taxes at all. Good heavens and McCain is using him on the trail? May be register him first.

Does McCain really believe this guy will move anybody to the point of making any difference? Desperation rears its ugly head. For Joe, he is looking to extend his 15 minutes. Would somebody tell please him his time is up.

“Joe the Plumber” is a joke. As long as we are on the subject of taxation, the nature of tax IS redistribution of wealth. So where’s the comment of “socialist” coming from? Besides, at the time when our country is 10 trillions in debt, having two wars still going on, whoever advocates a nationwide across-board tax-cut can ONLY belong to one or more of the following categories – 1) ignorant; 2) irresponsible; or 3) liar.

You can just see it....McCain has become so desperate it's become apparent. I'm not even sure if it's him or his campaign that has become so pathetic. He is an old man, I'm sure he could easily be fooled and persuaded by Rick Davis' to victory.

Joe the "skinhead" – just look at him. No wonder he is backing McCain.

As if any silly stunt the McCain campaign can come up with at this late date will make a speck of difference.

It's kind of funny to watch them try, though, in a pathetic sort of way.

Thanks Joe...he needed some endorsements since a lot of republicans are now endorsing Obama. But Joe, are they going to make you part of the "base"?

Wonder how much wealth McCain is spreading to Joe.

This guys a joke, and a disgrace to real plumbers...

One fake endorses another fake.

STOP TALKING ABOUT JOE THE PLUMBER!

He is a nobody and by no means represents any piece of America except himself! He is not a political expert and does not deserve to have the attention!

Ugh, could you please stop posting about Sam the Non-plumber?? I am so sick of this.

I wonder what he is getting paid? Maybe McCain will offer him a spot as the official white house plumber.

On a side issue, why does Cindy the McCain always stand behind her husband? Can't she go out and campaign on her own for a change? we are tired of see her standing and nodding all the time. The same goes for Tood the snowmobile Pain. They could help you know. But then again, what are they going to say? The barbie doll and the snowmobile racer. Yikes.

The guy is a JOKE!!!!

Great coming from someone who doesn't pay taxes and isn't licensed. What a joke!!

What a shocker. The guy who was sending money to McCain before he confronted Obama is now backing McCain. Gee, who would've guessed that? This guy is an admitted facist by the interviews on his front lawn that he's done. Did you really think he'd vote for the open-minded guy? No, its obviously McCain that he loves.

I thought you were only supposed to get FIFTEEN minutes of fame not 3 weeks of it. The McCain campaign has milked this dead cow as much as they could and this is one "Joe" that needs to take a hike. Most plumbers I know make VERY good money at least 25 to 30 bucks an hour or more. Not to say that they are not suffering but this guy has really drawn out what was an interview that ANY American could have given to a presidential candidate. I would be more impressed if it was Mary the unwed mother, since the GOP now supports unwed mothers, that works at a fast food resturant or Bob the custodian that works at a public school..heck Lucy the school teacher if you want to go there. I recall even Gov. Palin being quoted as saying "Please don't ask me to talk about Joe the Plumber"! I'll be glad when this one plumber takes the plundge himself.

Great, and the GOP should pay him for keeping that nonsense going for the last 10 days. Anything to keep them from talking about the real issues.

Cheryl The American

Obama/Biden 08

"... a million to a trillion dollars.." I think those numbers are different by about 999,999,000,000 dollars. This guy is pure genious. Fine Ohio high school education you have there Joe. Stick to plumbing, theres hopefully no math invovled there, idiot.

And this is a big surprise WHY?

This is SOOO Idiotic..... Is this supposed to be some kind of endorsement??? An endorsement from a guy who dosent pay taxes??? Who name isnt even Joe and HE'S NOT A PLUMBER!!!!!
If Obama did anything like this in his campaign, the GOP would flip!!!

Will the press please stop perpetuating this lie. It's bad enough McCain keeps touting it. The man's name is not Joe the Plumber. His name is Sam Wurtzerburger. He is not a plumber. This is the illusion of deception McCain wants to give. This guy gives me the heebie geebies. I've heard other people say it, and I too believe he's a skinhead.

Let's unite this country. We need to let go of division and racial hatred.

Obama/Biden '08

Joe must be pretty well-off if he has the time to go on the campaign trail rather than working. Now if he could only pay the IRS (and, by extension, all Americans) what he owes in back taxes...

WOOOOOW!!!

McCLOWN must be REALLY, REALLY, DESPERATE

Congratulations President McCain!

KEX radio from Portland, OR held a fundraiser to help "Joe the UNLICENSED plumber" pay his back taxes. Which he eagerly accepted.

Guess good ole Joe doesn't mind "spreading the wealth" when HE'S the one with his hand out for charity.

I wish the major news organizations would run with that story.

Screw Joe the "I don't pay taxes and am not licensed to plumb" Plumber.

Where will these people stop in spreading the bull s? I'm so tired of the negativity and no plan for the future McCain!

Joe if you are really worried about this country....Pay your taxes, get a plumbers license, pay your past driving tickets..That would help get our country going. Looks like everyone has been paying your way......Now maybe it is your turn,,,,,, I call that playing by the rules...

That was a given. Who really cares???

Joe is a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

And who cares about his vote? He's not important, there are millions of other "average Joe's" out there, so what makes him so special? He isn't even a real plumber.

Its so funny !!! this guy lied to Obama!!! Hes not a real plumber. He's probly a racist skin head!!!!

As if we didn't know that. I knew Joe the Plumber backed McCain when he asked Barack that stupid question. Why was the question stupid? Because Joe the plumber had to fabricate the question to make it sound as if he would actually benefit from making over 250 thousand dollars. He lied because he's not a plumber, has not paid his back taxes which would be hard for him to buy a 270 thousand dollar business. And, the media found out the business Joe wants to buy isn't worth the money.

But Joe had to say what he said to make it sound it sound as if making over 250 thousand dollars was relevant to him. It is not, he doesn't make that much money, but like most Rethugs the upper crust had managed to make them think they do make that much. They want to believe that they are at the top of the trickle down theory instead of the bottom. John McCain is a phony and so is Joe the Would-Be-Plumber.

Grats Joe, looks like with this pay raise you're getting that you might just see that tax increase you have been dreaming about for so long.
As a bonus you might even be able to find a few old sinks lying around to throw.

Great! McCain could have benefited from his vote if the idiot had bothered to register. Why do people care what this guys thinks, again?

Joe the Plumber is a douche...

If Joe the Plumber backs McCain and he has no money , and owes back taxes , no licenses ..What is the real reason ?

Dear McCain,

Is Joe the Plumber the best you got?

Seriously?

Yours truly,

Amazed that you think Joe the Plumber was a good campaign idea

LOL this guy.

I'll be so glad when this thing is over and I hopefully never have to hear the terms "Maverick", "Joe the Plumber" and "Alaska" again

OBAMA-BIDEN 08
FOR THE CHANGE WE NEED

Birds of the same feather........

Dems are so funny. I remember a senator from Illinois who "forgot" to pay her taxes for several years but the democrats were so forgiving she was tabbed to run in the presidential primary in 04. So where is the forgiveness today for "Joe if he really is a plumber".

only one more week of this nonsense.

umm...he's not a licensed plumber. This guy and mccain remind me of joseph mccarthy. Nothing but a big socialist scare dreamed up by a struggling campaign.

Wow.. what a surprise.. Joe the Plant.. I mean Plumber.. backs McCain!

The Irony is that Joe the Retard would actually be much better off under Obama's tax plan. But... like most republicans.. they would rather suffer than vote a democrat in who would make their lives easier.

That's ok.. I think people who make under 200K a year and vote for McCain should be exempt from Obama's tax plan... I have no problem with not giving them a tax cut. After all.. they're not asking for one, so why give them one?

At least people making over 250K a year have a legitimate reason to vote for McCain.

Joe – What don't you become a licensed plumber instead of a wanna bee also pay your back taxes.

No....Really?!?

I find it hard to believe this is News since we found out the guy is a registered Republican who had already made up his mind when he went to the Obama rally.

If we need to keep hearing about this guy can we at least here about the investigation regarding his potentially working illegally as a plumber?

yawn......not surprised......

I am glad Joe the Plumber can consider to buy the plumbing business (which is honestly great) especially when there are numerous people facing foreclosures, facing bankruptcy over insane medical bills, forgotten veterans, countless children without proper health insurance, an education system that has been tampered with and well the list goes on....The American Dream includes everyone!!!

GET OUT THE VOTE FOLKS!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Yay! Another tax evader for McCain! I tell you what, Joe–if you don't want to pay your taxes, how about you don't drive on our roads, send your kids to our schools, benefit from our military strength, use our postal service, etc, etc.

Palin, also a tax evader, also doesn't think it's "patriotic" to pay taxes. Where is this country headed if they win?

John McCain for President. Unless it's raining, then he leaves his supporters standing out there while he stays warm and dry. What a tough guy. He's a total fraud.

Duh! He had already contributed money to the GOP before planting himself at Obama's walk-around Ohio. Why is this a story?

The more this guy talks and does interviews the more obvious it is that he is a republican plant. What kind of average joe leaves his job to campaign run for congress and do an interview every other weekend? Seriously guys!!??

I have to give Sen. McCain credit. He's managed to propell two people who have no actual qualifications into the center stage of the political arena. Sarah Palin and now Joe the Plumber.

How much $$ did McCain pay Wurzelbacher to back him up? Joe the Plumber doesn't know what he is talking about.

Hmmm...."Joe" are you really that dumb?? You're names not Joe, you're not a plumber, and you're backing a man who you wouldn't benefit from whatsoever...If getting $1000 back at the end of the year (because of the amount of money you make) is socialism then I'm all for it!

Quote "I’m not going to sit here and tell you which way to vote"

Besides admitting that he's not a tax expert, apparently Joe Wurzelbacher doesn't understand that campaigning is exactly telling someone else to vote the same way that you are going to be.

Wait a second, Joe Wurzelbacher wasn't already supporting John McCain?

In other news, the sky is blue.

Tell us something we don't know.

I guess my question would be why is this news? Is he a prominent person of some power who has decided to endorse McCain, like Colin Powell? Nope. he's just an uneducated person who doesn't do his research to see how each candidate's economic policy would affect him. Obviously, if he did research, he would see he would come out ahead with Obama's plan rather than McCain's because he obviously makes less than $250,000 a year. And, even if he was able to buy a small business, he would still come out ahead unless he thinks he's going to make millions right off the bat. I think since all the hub-bub has been made about him, he had no choice but to endorse McCain.

Shocking. A Republican making his vote based on fear and misunderstanding. Sounds like dog bites man.

Woohoo lucky McCain! Is not a real plumber boy going to pay his taxes now? I don't think this guy even realizes what a joke he is...

Virginia's going blue, Virginia's going blue!!!!!

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JOHN THE DEREGULATOR?????

Joe the Looser backs Joe the future Looser, just one week again
and it will be all about lose !
Thank you Joe , you has done a good Job for O B A M A.

This is a joke, right?

You're presenting this as news?

The guy's not even sharp enough to realize he and many others will be far better off under Obama, and I'm supposed to care who he endorses?

Besides, the guy was always a Republican and likely a plant.

As if that was a big surprise. It will be two meat heads together.

But the question everyone is asking is: Who will I vote for?

Joe Who???

Now Joe the plumber is campaining for him. Give me a break.
Is Joe too stupid to realize he would be better off with Obama as
President? Sounds like dumb and dumber to me.

Of course he does. From all his statements its obvious that he's on McCain's payroll.

I thought his fifteen minutes were over. Is McCain paying his taxes for him? Repubs do that for their friends.

Who really cares about Joe the "Natural Law Party" Pseudoplumber?

I thought this chump's fifteen minutes were over, what gives?

ENOUGH WITH JOE THE PLUMBER, HE'S A BIG JOKE, DAH!

ENOUGH WITH JOE THE PLUMBER, HE'S A BIG JOKE, DAH!!

Makes sense the Sammy Jo the fake plumber would be backing McCain - losers stick together.

In other news from Pravda, the following is a direct quote from comrade Palin in an interview with the New Yorker magazine:

"we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s COLLECTIVELY Alaskans own the resources. So we SHARE IN THE WEALTH when the development of these resources occurs"

Da, comrade Palin. Marx would be so proud. That is all, "my friends".

Joe the idiot backs McShame–hum . How about Sally the street walker ?

And, you guys try to give him credibility? Doesn't sound like he knows the difference between a million and a trillion dollars, either. In that regard, he sounds like Palin!

Saying Obama is a socialist is the only tactic that's working for the GOP right now. So of course, they're going to exploit it to the hilt.

If they repeat it often enough, they might sway enough undecideds to give McCain the win. I think this race is a LOT closer than the polls indicate and McCain knows that if he makes enough people unsure, they'll vote McCain because, even if they don't like McCain, they sure won't want to vote for a 'socialist'.

Does Obama not understand that raising taxes on the wealthy will cause jobs to be lost? It is the wealthy who invest and create jobs.

Joe da plumber, mccain da same old politician and sarah palin da witch makes me sick Obama/Biden 08

Joe the Plumber for Treasury Secretay. McCain-Palin are sinking and dragging Joe-The non- plumber down with them. I guess they promised to pay his back taxes. What a joke McCain-Palin have become. Palin is Governor of a socialist state and she has some nerve to talk.

Isn't this guy the nephew to one of the Keating 5 guys (McCain's buddies)?

NO ONE CARES

Mccain stands in front of hundreds of americans to say that he is the man we need in the white house to fix the mess that Bush and himself have made over the past 8 years. I am an undecided voter to this time and is not leaning towards any side, but I would like John to really tell the people what he did wrong before by voting 92% of the time with George Bush and how he is going to fix this mess IF he gets into power. I am yet to hear about. And to find out where John the plomber (plumber) destiny will be after this race.

Politions lies to get in power all the time they even steal to get there.
Who is going to remember people like me in this small state of VA

That's alright. I heard Darryll the garbageman backs Obama.

Can we get this election over now–I think I'm going to freak out if I hear "Joe the Plumber" many more times. What an idiotic non-issue story from the worst-run campaign in decades. Might have more weight in it if Joe really were a plumber, or if any of what he told Obama about his business plans or his earnings were true.

Duhhhhhhh... this is news??
Maybe now, that he's finally decided this and the country can let out a breath, he can concentrate on getting his plumbers license. He must have been one of the "lean McCain" He truly is a Richard Cranium!!

ONLY O

Scare tactics– that's what the Republicans are good at anymore. They try to keep people afraid of some unknown and then tell them that the Republicans will keep them safe. What a crock!!

And isn't it pathetic that this Joe guy has become some kind of celebrity for what???? Nothing... nada.... zilch. The man is a pawn in the Republican game plan for right now. In another week, they'll drop him like the plague and never again give him so much as the time of day.

oh yeah!!! Joe the Plumber reflects what a true America is...COMMON SENSE!!!

I wish I could see the faces of all those people who think OBAMA going to WIN!!! who think he's on par as the Second coming of Jesus!!

I heard this Black-Lady today scold this hispanic lady for supporting McCain...The Black Lady said..."IM SUPPORTIN' OBAMA, You have to ALSO!!!! IM GONNA BUY ME A HUMVEE SINCE HE GONNA MAKE GAS A DOLLER-A-GALLON"

lol who believes that!! Obviously Obamanites so...silly Fools!!!

Wow, you can just smell the desperation. Maybe "Joe" can use his magic plumbing tools to unclog McCain and Palin's collective brains.

John McCain says. I will make them famous, you will know their names. Thats right Sen. we all now know Joe.

who cares , it's a losing effort .................on another note , has anyone notice how extra negative Mcain and the republicans has been in the last two days ............................and they call themselves Americans , if you want to know who the real terrorist are just look at Mcain/Bush and the PNAC DOCUMENTS ...............YOU'LL BECOME ENLIGHTEN .

Wow this is groundbreaking! I am a lifelong Democrat but if Joe the Plumber is going to back McCain, then I will too. Of course, he isn't an actual plumber and isn't named Joe but that type of deceit is good in a President. It worked wonders for Nixon and Bush. It takes a special kind of stupid to think that this moron's endorsement will sway any voters. He's the third most annoying campaign gimmick the McCain campaign has foisted on the public; right after "I was a POW" McCain and Caribou Barbie. Please, please go away.

Joe the plumber can't even vote so who cares what he says.

Who cares? Samuel the fake plumber has already been sucked in and paid off by the Republican party....you've got to be kidding me.

P.S. – It won't change anyone's votes. This guy's a nobody.

The registered Republican is backing McCain? Shocking. And he of all people should know what Obama said as he was there! McCain can take it out of context, but I expected better from Joe the Plumber.

Who cares that Joe the unlicensed plumber endorses McCain. If he starts his bisiness it will be small enought that the Republicans will not care about him.

pay your taxes and then maybe i'll care what you have to say.

MY HEART! MY HEART! It may not survive the shock!!!!!!

He just won't vote for him...

"Taxes will not be raised on those making $250k or more!" – Barack Obama one week ago.

"Taxes will not be raised on those making $200k or more!" – Barack Obama this past weekend.

"Taxes will not be raised on those making $150k or more!" – Joe Biden yesterday.

I am laughing so hard at Democrats!!!! HUGE CHARACTER FLAWS with these guys.

SEE YOU AT THE POLLS SUCKERS!

Maybe Stevens can endorse McBush and Palin, since both him and Palin are corrupt politician from Alaska. Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

Big deal, what an endorsement!

It'd be a much better for Joe to use his time to get his license and pay off his tax liens

This guy doesn't even have the resources to buy a business.
This guy doesn't even have a license to be a plumber.
This guy makes $40K a year so he would benefit under Obama.
This guy needs to pay his taxes and shut up-maybe he is trying to ask McCain in a roundabout way to pay for his taxes for him-but wouldn't that be spreading the wealth.
Joe the Plumber need to stick the plunger in his mouth.

So let me think, which is a better endorsement? Joe the Fake Plumber or Colin Powell!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

This is what they do. They rally around people they like, rather than people who have qualifications, blow up what 'references' they have, to the point of farce, elect them, then get mad at 'the Party' when this person messes everything up, because the person had to 'fight' and was out numbered, rather than thinking the person was a bad choice in the first place.

Because no matter how a person does, they can say they were in charge and it was someone elses fault.

*snore*

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! I wonder will Joe the Plumber get a $150k Rack of clothes!!!!

Joe, do you make more then $250,000 a year? Enough said!!

Who cares. So McBush has the endorsement of a guy who does not pay his taxes and doesn't even have a plumbing license. They can have it, I will stick with the endorsement of Colin Powell for Obama!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

Joe or whom ever he is –is a whacko just like Palin. Both need to go back to school. Maybe start out in kindergarten.

Big deal – this guy is a Republican operative, and a distant relative of Charles Keating – remember the "Keating 5" and the S&L scandal Gramps McCain was involved in back in the '80s??????

Like this is a surprise?

Joe the Plumber is just Joe the Handyman who won't pay his taxes.
This is NOT someone I want my kids to look up to.

This guy will forever be linked to McCain and Palin. A disgrace !

Good and I think Joe is right on the mark. Obam is trying to buy our presidency;. Will we let him?

Hey Murtha is no more racist than most of obama's supporters. The Africans are the racists. Since they are going for one of their own by a huge percentage.

If white people would do that, Obama would lose and lose big time. Not a bad idea.

I am color blind, but am upset how the merest criticism of Obama is termed racist. Think what would happen if got to be president.?

I say give me a

Isn't Joe's 15 minutes up yet??

WHO CARES!!!

Why does anybody care what this schmo thinks??? At first I felt sorry for him because McCain thrust him into the spotlight. But now he is as bad as Palin sucking up the attention for nothing other than self serving purposes.

There is an old book called "Stay Away Joe" .............I'd like to write a new one called "Go Away Joe!"

I suppose in 4 years we'll be hearing about the Palin/Wurzelbacher ticket. Proving once and for all that ANYONE can become president!!! YUK!

WHO THE HELL CARES IF JOE THE UNLICENSED PLUMBER IS BACKING MCCAIN PALEN.HE SHOULD PAY HIS TAXES WAT A JOKE

Well that figures. A fraud of a man defends a fraud of a candidate. Sometimes, I think Joe – oh, I'm sorry, Stan the [Fake] Plumber is moreso of a brother of McCain than...whatever his actual brother's name is is.

And this is news? That bigoted nobody has no influence over anyone. Go home Joe. Pay your taxes, get a license, get up and go to work.

GO JOE GO JOHN GO SARAH

I AM "JOE THE PLUMBER"

Amazing how a "Joe the Plumber" was the ONLY ONE to get barack obama to ADMIT he is all about punishing success.

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 !!!

No kidding,

This was plot from the beginning. Joe the fraud act said he would not campaign. He also said he would not accept money to pay his bills and back taxes. I am pretty sure that changed because the GOP is probably paying him to be their prop!!

who is this guy? HE DOESN'T EVEN PAY HIS TAXES.
i don't know what hes so worried about!

Why is there no mention of Joe the Plumber agreeing with a Mccain supporter in the audience today that an Obama presidency would bring the death of Israel? This is absolutely ludicrous, and Mccain should not have someone who will make outlandish claims about issues they don't understand go out on the stump for him like this. Looks like he again has not properly vetted a member of his campaign.

Man they are desparte! First they get a dumm white girl to act like some "black" guy carved B in her face and was beat up. Then the police had to brake the news that the little white girl was a lier. Now there letting bald headed redneck " Joe" the Plummber who dosen't pay his taxes, who would benefit from Obama's plan go out and scare other klans mans into voting for McCain? The only thing scary is Joe the bald headed klansman no tax paying idiot.

Oh they probably paid his taxes off, no that would be more like "socialism".

GET LOST JOE YOUR A LIEING LOOSER!

Thank you Mr. Wurzelbacher for not telling me how to vote; but I'll tell you how I will vote... After seeing and hearing the exchange between you and Senator Obama in that infamous driverway, I'm voting Obama/Biden because what he said to you made a great deal of sense.

CNN-
you've once again proven unable to fact check the simplest things. rob portman hasn't been a congressman for 3 years.
journalism has gone down hill in the last few years.

it's funny when joe the plumber can speak to the press but palin cant.
MHMMMMMMMMM.

he's a plumber's helper, LOL

Are you kidding me? Keeping poking holes in the bottom of your ship McCain – in 6 days you're out to sea with no lifeboats...at least Arizona is dry....

who cares

Oh my god, I thought this joke was over!?

Is McCain really that desperate? He's relying on "Joe the Plumber" to win an election for him?

Doesn't say much for the rest of his campaign.......

Stick to fixing sinks joe.... Politics and intelligent conversations are clearly not your forte.

This joker gave McCain money BEFORE he ever asked Obama a question. He gave money to McCain but didn't pay his taxes. He's an idiot who isn't even named Joe!

Joe the Plumber, a fictional character, backs the largely fictitious campaign of John McCain.

Who says there's no symmetry in politics?
