Who the hell is Joe the Plumber?

[book_worm]

and this was the first I've heard of him in this debate.

[Blaq Dem]

1. The guy who's job is down the toilet?

[book_worm]

2. and he's still considering voting republican-haha

[Blaq Dem]

3. There's some other stuff floating around too.

But I digress.

4. Joe the Plumber spotted in Goffstown, NH!

[SoxFan]

9. Joe wears a thong?

Wow, Goffstown has changed! Portsmouth or Keene, I can see this, but Goffstown? Wow!

[tsuki]

5. I AM Joe the Plumber, or Josephine, if you will. I am a small

business making less than 250K net that the Republican have been trying to run out of business for years. Oh, they want to lower my taxes, but they increase my "fees" every year.

"Fees" is just another name for taxes.

Now they want to take the 26,000 dollars I pay for my employees health care and subject it to matching Fica, Medicare, FUTA and SUI, plus higher insurance costs for liability and workers's compensation which are based on wages.

McCain is a lying POS.

Go Obama.

6. I don't know but

...it sounds like he makes a lot of money. I want to be Joe the Plumber!

[RagAss]

7. The guy with the Sarah Palin picture in his wallet....

He's a Rove creation... a fail ... I don't like plumbers. They always overcharge and have to come back to fix what they didn't get right the first time.

10. That's JoeSixpack

:toast:

[tsuki]

11. I am NOT JoeSixPack. nt

[merh]

14. Do you make $250k a year?

Joe the Plumber does.

[tsuki]

17. Yes, GROSS. But my net profit is far different from my gross profit.

Unlike the media and "Joe the Plumber," I know the difference between GROSS and NET. I have been in this biz for 30+ years.

[Blaq Dem]

15. That's right. The drunken plumber holding the 6-pack!

[Aussie leftie]

12. Is he related to Bob the builder or Postman Pat?

[sammytko]

13. or Larry the Cable guy? nt

[Zookeeper]

16. McCain did himself no favors with his crazy Joe the Plumber...

rant. I also thought it was pretty condescending to "Joe," who probably has a last name.

[Hawkowl]

18. Reagan

In the only Reagan vs. Carter debate, Reagan quipped that he would put more money in the pocket of Joe the plumber.

[Jersey Ginny]

19. There is a Joe the Plumber in Clifton NJ -really, that's his business name

Good guy. Give him a call if you need some work in the north Jersey area.

[Zookeeper]

20. Dupe. n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

21. I don't know, but I can almost guarantee a horse will be named after him

A losing horse
