Hey Anne,

Stop insulting cows.

Heather the Canadian

"Joe the Plumber" is as much a fraud as Caibou Barbie is. As a grandmother of 7 I'm ashamed that Sarah Palin is a woman. The attacks that she's been spouting against Barack Obama would be worth more if any of it were true. Lies get you nothing and as of November 5th, that's what she'll have. Nothing. I have a friend in Alaska who's very ashamed but not surprised with Sarah's behavior.

Must be a slow news day...

C'mon, no one really cares about this "Joe the Plumber" guy.

Off to sesame street for McCain/Palin and Joe the plumber.

It's not over yet...As much as many of you would love to declare victory before the votes are even counted...get ready for a November surprise...

Dumb and dumber is correct. He'll probably be Palin's VP when she runs for President in 2012.

OMG are they serious? This show's just how bad this campaign is.............

Joe is the embodiment of the Republican Party! I say Sarah Palin is the best VP ever and Joe Plummer should be Secretary of State! That will get our country out of the toilet!

NO KIDDING....Joe the supposed "plumber" was all a set up from the beginning. He is as shallow and easy to read as the McCain/Palin campaign in general. I think it is more of a joke and an indictment of McCains politics that he had to resort to such charades.

McCain and Palin's latest question is, "who is the REAL Barack Obama?" I say, "No, what is John McCain's REAL agenda?"

Well, at least McCain found someone more qualified than Palin for his VP pick. Does this mean Joe the Plumber's now on the ticket?

Joe the plumber is another example of how McCain surrounds himself with people who are not what they appear to be. He is not a licensed plumber, not going to buy his boss' business, does not make over $250,000, back taxes? Another facade.

who cares

Looks like Joe the Plubmer is replacing Joe the Liebermann:))

Good going McCain.

Try to get Frank the Funeral guy for your funeral on tuesday:)

WHO CARES about Joe, The Plumber. He is not an elected official, nor a person with any experience in politics–and yet the Republicans thing he is the next messiah. They should be so ashamed of themselves, distracting voters–its clear they have run out of things to say about ordinary Americans.

Is he the new VP?

Good! Drop your advisory staff on how to run a campaign and go with a licenseless, tax cheat. That should help. Somebody slap some sense into these people.

Didn't this guy complain about all the publicity he was receiving? Hmmmm

Why isn't he at work? Doesn't he have a business to run? Or is he running for VP now with McMakinStuffUp? Wow, they have made a mockery of the Republican Party. I feel sorry for these guys:( SIKE!!!!!!!! Ilove these last ditch efforts.......

who advises him to do this??? a sad, sad day for McCain

More evidence of how out of touch his campaign has become. First we are given a VP who has revealed little knowledge beyond oil production in (for) Alaska. Now we are getting a guy that appears to have even less knowledge of the issues that currently challenge our nation. Our nation's people want strong leadership, not the off-the-cuff thoughts of people who have given little prior thought to the problems we face and the strategies that may help lift us out of this mess. You have one candidate soliciting advice from Warren Buffett, the other from some guy named Joe. No wonder the polls are breaking Obama's way.

Joe said "they" (Republicans) work hard for us ........ well Joe, where are you employed these days? You are an "unlicensed" plumber who owes back taxes and didn't even register to vote. You've been sucker punched, and are being used.

Obama campained with President Clinton.
McCain to campain with poor Joe the Unlicenced Plumber.

Now is this a person that will influence McCain's decisions once he becomes the president? Is this man serious?

Desparation should be a party in itself because this is in insult to the Republican Party....

Joe I guess...after this will be a "Licensed Plumer"! This is past pathetic on behalf of the McCain Campaign! Joe looks so guilty when he's out there. Who can honestly take the "Palin-McCain" Administration serious now!!!!!!!

Who really cares..Joe is Plumber is a proven liar and so is John McCain...That's all John McCain campaign has come down too is lies and half truths.. what a pity..

I thought McCain was trying to win this election. Why is he campaigning with such a loser. JTP is the dumbest gimmick I have ever heard of. Why can't McCain see that?

I wonder if the GOP will spend any $$$ on a wardrobe for Joe the Plumber.

I live in Ohio. Joe the Plumber owes back taxes, is not a licensed plumber, and here is the kicker.....he is not even registered to vote. So McCain/Palin can have him. Obama has Colin the General

Typical Republican "latch on to the common folks" maneuver (or who we think may represent the common folks since we don't really know or understand).

What does this guy actually represent? Lies (he's not a plumber or buying a business), tax evasion (speaks for itself), stupidity (giving his two bit comment on Israel – OMG!). And people are falling for it. Have we really gotten that stupid? If so, where do we go from here?

And did anyone catch the videos of those people in lines in OH and PA outside Palin rallies. This is the Republican base? Does that mean they're the party of hate and fear? They certainly didn't express the Christian mind set where I grew up. God help us all.

will he be singing a COUNTRY LITTLE DIDDY ??

And we are supposed to care what this guy says why? Because he represents people like me? No, I pay my taxes and my husband actually has a license for his trade.

Just what a campaign in the toilet calls for!

This is a clear demonstration of John MCain's love of gimmicktry. This guy is a nobody when it comes to politics a MCCain ceation wiyh no significance. He's not even a plumber. Just another lie in MCCAIN/pALIN'S web. He likes to say as a new President he wont be tested because he's already been tested (another LIE because he was on active duty during the Bay of Pigs conflict in no way tested him as a commander -incheif, It actually tested JFK. He's no more tested than Obama.

Anyone else notice McCain's trend for surrounding himself with people who most likely can't tell the difference between a sneeze and a wet fart? It's mind boggling to me. Does he do it simply to make himself look smarter, or is he really that blind?

No way now I'm switching my vote to Mccain. haha yeah right.
Mccain talks about that Obama wants to give non-taxpayers "your money" but yet he's going on the campaign with a tax evader, that John Mccain did not hesitate to make famous.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

Based on his comments yesterday, Joe the Plumber should be the U.N. Special Envoy to the Middle East. He could offer Tony Blair his suggestions.

While he’s at it, McCain ought to enlist the expertise of 6th Grade Dropout Racist Redneck Roger and/or Alcoholic Battered Klan Wife Karen.

Why is McCain and Palin still talking about Joe the Plumber when in
fact he was exposed for a fraud. He's not a licensed plumber, he
does not make over 250,000 a year, and he did not pay his taxes.
He would in fact benefit from the Obama tax plan. This just shows how
McCain and Palin are still trying to insult the intelligence of Americans
who actually have intelligence. One would think that after the truth is out that they would stop continuing telling the same lie. Having this guy at the rallies does them no good, and make him look like a fool tool. They are so out of touch.

The amount of contempt held by McCain/Palin to any form of educated level of discussion is astounding. The message is the dumber you are the better it is for the country. So much for science and enlightenment, let some plumber tell me what is right and what is wrong. Forget research let's just all believe in Jesus because he is right and all the other relgions are wrong......SIGH

Joe the Fake Plumber is pathetic. It was already revealed that he would be helped more by the Obama financial plan. However, he is not smart enough to realize that!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

I can hardly wait

HE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE CAMPAIGN FROM THE ONSET!!! SHOULDN'T HE BE WORKING SOMEWHERE UNDER A KITCHEN SINK!!! LOL HE IS JUST AS USELESS AS MCPALIN!!!! DUMB!! DUMBER AND DUMBEST!!!!!! NOBODY CARES ABOUT HIM!!! HE'S A LIAR JUST LIKE HIS BOSS'!!!!

This is hilarious.

In the closing days of the campaign, Obama's campaigning with President Clinton and McCain's campaigning with Joe the (fake) Plumber. What's wrong with this picture?

This shows just how out of touch McCain is. While Obama talks about hope and the future, McCain clings to the past and keeps throwing "stuff" (e.g., Ayers, etc.) up against the wall hoping something will stick.

Well, it ain't working. Our country and the world needs and is ready for President-elect Obama. As far as McCain, R.I.P.

I hope Joe and McCain will be able to explain to the people at the rally how they will keep continue giving the huge tax cuts to oil companies like the one reporting huge profits this quarter.

"Largest U.S. oil company surges past analyst estimates to post net income of $14.83 billion."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!. A guy who isn't really a licensed plumber, owes back taxes and child support. Yeah, great job Johnny boy. Sarah won't be there so invite another delinquent. Cute.

Let see...he's not a licensed plummer, he owes back taxes and his name is not Joe...but other than that he's believable! The McCain campaign has picked another winner to represent them!

McCain called a plumber to come fix his campaign? He really is desparate. Funny - Nixon relied on Plumbers too (Watergate - read all about it). Republicans never change.

Aren't you liberals supposed to be the "open minded" ones?

Wow, it sure is hypocritical that you tear down an honest woman and a blue collar working man for being who they are. Isn't that the traditional base of your party??

Change is needed yes. But let's have smart change, and not the change on the whims of someone with hardly any substantive political experience. Wake up America.

Pathetic and sad.

I wonder how many REAL plumbers WHO PAY THEIR LICENSE FEES think this clown is an appropriate symbol for a national campaign.

What does Joe the Plumber, Winny the Pooh and Smokey the Bear have in common??????

Answer:....they share the same middle name and the same relevance to this campaign.

Who cares

Great!! The Dumb and Dumber tour has officially kicked off!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

When a plumber has to help you out on the campaign trail, you know you took a wrong turn...

Joe the Plumber should vote for Obama, after all he would not have his 5 min. of fame had it not been for Obama.

Let's see if we can investigate this man more fully with our tax dollars. That is a great idea.

The 30 minute infomercial convinced me to buy a Ronco set of knives!
Nice Job!

I think John McCain has lost his mind

McCain is really digging down to the bottom of the barrel for his support – before Hockey Mom and now Joe the Plumber. I am afraid what his cabinet will be like – full of people who could maintain his dozen houses.

This why no one takes McCain serious. he is clinging to a guy who was found out to be a liar. if John McCains judgment is like this, I don't wanna think about what crazy ideas he would believe as a president.

This guy is such a joke. An lying opportunist. He now has a publicist.

It is scary that people buy into this crap. Look at our country, can you imagine this guy ...

Vote Obama, send Joe back to Ohio

I guess by helping John McCain is helping him better prepared to run for the congress. Once again, it just a political act. He is better off with Obama tax policy after all. This is too funny to watch, almost painfully funny.

Why is this news? The guy is a failure.

This is a joke just like the rest of McCain's campaign. He failed miserably as his message disappeared and gimmicks, cliches and attacks dominated the end.

Ha, Ha, Now Joe the plumber is on the payroll.

Wonder how much they are spending on his wardrobe?

Will he speak this time? Because he didn't say a word at the Palin rally. He just walked on stage and said nothing!

I hope he's happy to be used like this. Because his 15 minutes have been stretched too far as it is. What jokes that guy and the McCain camp are!

So what. He is as stupid and they are. How crazy it is that your mascot is Joe the (not real) plumber. There campaign is a joke. Now Joe wants to be a country singer.

I've never seen a campaign run like the McPalin debacle.

I suggest that this plumber turn his attention, first and foremost, to his unpaid taxes in Ohio.

And secondly, it wouldn't hurt to get your plumbing license eh ?

What a publicity stunt this guy is. He already has a publicist.

He is being "used" and doesn't even know.

Poor Joe. Feel sorry for him so badly.

Brown noser....He is not a plumber...This man is nothing more than a liar...he approached Obama, not the other way around...How can the American people be so gulliable, seeing this man who wants a book contract, a country singing contract... Dang I want a book contract since I love to write...

People look at this man and say Poor man!!!! Sounds like Socialism to me... This man got his 15 minutes of fame, now go back to your make believe company that you pretended to buy, FRAUD with a capital F.

Rock to Vote and vote to stay free...

Obama/Biden08/12

McCains campaign has turned into a circus.

I don't want Joe the plumber setting policy any more than I want McCain working on my pipes, but he may be as qualified as Palin to be VP.

This whole thing about Joe the Plumber is so silly especially in light of the FACTS surrounding him....let's put him behind us...McCain/Palin campaign is making further fools of themselves with this whole thing...

McCain unwittingly ruined this man's life by putting him into the limelight. My money's on him crumbling beneath the microscope of the world's scrutiny. I almost feel bad for him...

Now that VP Candidate, a "DIVA" has gone rogue, we have to ask Joe to Plumber to inspire the conservative base..............

I think McCain should revamp his ticket. Let Joe become the President, McCain the VP, and Mrs. Palin their executive secretary. Now that's a cool suggestion, if I may say so. What a joke my dear Senator McCain (who used I still admire for his services) has made of himself...

Oh, please. I have deep respect for McCain, the man. But this campaign is out of touch and out of date.

Talk about throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks!

As if it will do McCain any good...Joe is a moron, he'd be better off under Obama's plan

He's is probably getting paid off by the McCain camp from the beginning.

One loser joining another. Big Whoop!

One fraud endorsing another fraud.

There are so many people in this country more worthy of the attention that is being heaped on this guy. His 15 minutes of fame should have been used up long ago. For his sake, he better have his book deal and country music contract locked up before Tuesday because he's going to be dropped like "third period French" after the election.

Joe the plumber is even more radical in his views than Sarah Palin. Is Joe the plumber really helping McCain? To me he's more of a distraction.

John and Sarah = please give us one or two new ideas on how to get us out of this recession. please give us your platform on how you plan to repair relations with our former allies around the world.

Enough said.

worn out idea for a worn out campaign.

John McCain and Joe the Plumber? Here they come...Dumb and Dumber.

McCain has Joe the Plumber on his side. Obama has Wm Ayers, Rev Wright, ACORN and Rashid Khalidi on his.

Pathetic!

Business must not be good if Joe has so much free time

McCain picked Palin as his VP–Joe the Plumber is as qualified as she is. Joe the Plumbers is really sharp on foreign affairs.

I honestly could care less what Joe the Plumber thinks or has to say. This is the reason McCain will lose. He's only playing up to his base; not all Americans like Obama has and will continue to do.

If all the republicans have is a tax dodging nutball as their last ditch effort I feel really sorry for them. McCain has truly lost it and Palin is just a cow.

Joe the so-called Plumber is a cartoon and as such is an appropriate mouthpiece for the failing McCain campaign.

John McCain is barely holding on to a lead in his own state of Arizona. Maybe he needs to start campaigning there. That will really suck to lose your own state. HAHAHA

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

What do they think this guy is gaining them? Seems to show yet more of this quite strange thinking pattern from the McCain camp.

Campaigning with a person who owes taxes! The guy is such a farse. This campaign is not about issues – just mud.

Great, and this is newsworthy because?????

Really doesn't matter at this point but I guess Joe is looking to 2012 like Palin.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama/Clinton 12

This guy said he thinks Obama wants to destroy Israel. Why is he getting any attention?

Oh for goodness sake...haven't we all heard enough about Joe the not-really-who-I-say-I-am Plumber?

This is a sign of true despiration.

Isn't this guy's 15 minutes up yet? McCain/Palin want to use a liar and a non-tax payer as their symbol of America? I think the majority of America would agree. Oh...but they are both guilty of abuse of power and have ethics issues anyway...so I guess it's a perfect match. This former Repub voted early for Obama.

I thought his name is Sam? Can any republican tell the truth about anything?

Oh, for heavens sake. What a fraud that guy is. And, so unsympathetic.

What a publicity stunt this guy turned out to be.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Really, I cant believe I voted already. If I had waited a little longer I could have heard what Joe the Plumber has to say and may have voted for McCain. LOL

Obama/Biden 08

Wow cares. That's like me campaigning with Biden and I have a license. I also don't owe taxes. Joe W. represents the low standards of the republican party. I guess he should campaign with someone like him.

Joe the Plumber??? You know, sooner or later banging your head against the wall should hurt and you should want to stop. The irony is that Joe the Plumber is a very fitting picture as John McCain has flushed the Republican brand down the toliet.

Joe the unlicensed plumber who owes back taxes is more qualified to be VP than Palin, maybe they should do a last minute switch.

My God does McCain not know that he needs to do something different or to change strategy when things are not working. People are not responding to Joe the Plumber. He has become a joke to many. Who in the hell is even controling Mccain's campaign anyway? Whoever they are they should be fired. And if it is McCain no wonder the man is losing.

Let's see, they both have the same IQ. The same bald head. They both like Palin. Both are bordering on stupid. I can't think if anything positive to say of either. GO OBAMA

And we should care about this Republican plant because???????

I guess he's shooting for that +200K tax bracket to finally make a case against Obama…

All I can do is laugh .... LOL

Lame.

Who is he going to be on McCains's cabinet Secretary of State

And this a surprise??? And who really cares!

Maybe with Joe moonlighting for McCain/Palin he can now afford to buy that plumbing shop. Oh, I forgot he has a recording contract and he won't need that shop now.

This is news?? Is the best this campaign can do?? I wonder how long Joe the Plumber has been on the RNC payroll. Has this been checked? joe the "country music star" clearly has visions for celebrity in his future.

McCain will NO DOUBT

Make Joe a CABINET MEMBER !!!

This is getting tired now. He's not a plumber, and his name is Sam.

Sigh.

Dear God why?

Stop appealing to "the base" (whoever that is) and realize that Mr. Wurzelbacher is not taken seriously, even Republican supporters that I know, and totally not appealing to leaning Democratic or Independent voters.

I am soooooo sick of JOE THE PLUMBER! It's a stupid idea! The man is even less qualified than Palin!

Why is Joe not at work? My point. Loser

Enjoy your 15 mins of fame Joe the Plumer while it last. Youre on a sinking ship. Make sure to grab a life raft. God be with you.

The REAL question is WHO CARES!???????????
