The REAL question is WHO CARES!???????????
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.
Why is Joe not at work? My point. Loser
I am soooooo sick of JOE THE PLUMBER! It's a stupid idea! The man is even less qualified than Palin!
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.
This is getting tired now. He's not a plumber, and his name is Sam.
Sigh.
McCain will NO DOUBT
Make Joe a CABINET MEMBER !!!
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.
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.
And this a surprise??? And who really cares!
Who is he going to be on McCains's cabinet Secretary of State
Lame.
All I can do is laugh .... LOL
I guess he's shooting for that +200K tax bracket to finally make a case against Obama…
And we should care about this Republican plant because???????
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
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.
Joe the unlicensed plumber who owes back taxes is more qualified to be VP than Palin, maybe they should do a last minute switch.
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.
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.
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
What a publicity stunt this guy turned out to be.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Oh, for heavens sake. What a fraud that guy is. And, so unsympathetic.
I thought his name is Sam? Can any republican tell the truth about anything?
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.
