If you buy a company that requires certain certificates and licenses to operate, you have to hire and pay, above the normal rate, someone with those creditials in order to continue operating. Apparently, "Joe the Plumber" will no longer be a plumber, so the point to the campaign BS is moot! He has no plumbing license, no ability to purchase the plumbing company, and no plumbing job! He is a joke and so will be any of his articles since he really isn't a journalist. And who is paying for this little venture?

The guy is a liar and a Republican plant, not some innocent random person. I'm *glad* someone dug up his *real* agenda and put the McCain campaign in their place. The Bush campaign played dirty when he ran against Kerry...to the point of lying about the man's service record...were you complaining about that, too? The public deserves to know the actual truth. THAT is how you run a campaign. As for Joe, he has a nerve to think that he has some special protection from god just b/c he's a Christian (wow, I thought Christians weren't supposed to "bear false witness. Interesting). So I guess all the Palestinians dying right now are hated by god or something... They are welcome to keep him. TCM> Why does that matter?

What exactly is his purpose for going there besides 'focusing on the Israeli perspective on the situation', which is pretty much 100% of what is already covered each and every day.
