I'm thinking that Joe the Plumber better watch out... the heat of national exposure
can burn the unprepared. He'd better not have too many skeletons in his closet.

5. Well Politico has already found he isn't even registered to vote and
on the CBS interview he admits to making much less than $250k but "worried" that Obama might change the tax bracket which pays more (based on nothing of course). He's clearly in the tank for McCain and the kind of guy that just spews Hannity/Limbaugh talking points. He must have pissed off his union which is endorsing Obama. I don't see good things in store for Joe the Plumber. He'll have fun with his 15 minutes but people will dig up other dirt on him besides the fact that he isn't even registered to vote. yeah, real patriotic of you there joe.

12. So the dude was engaging in hypotheticals and trying to rake Obama for stuff that might not even
happen ever.

Good going, "Joe". :eyes:

20. Ok, the fact that he never registered makes him completely irrelevant in the conversation
and more proof that focusing on Joe the Plumber was a waist of fucking time.

I would have preferred to her about Sally the Single Mom all night.
Or Bertha the Nurse
Or Jane the Teacher
Aside from Joe Biden
I am sick of JOES!

9. I don't feel sorry for him
the man undoubtedly owns a TV and has to have some sense when he started getting calls that he was going to have the spotlight shown on him.....all he had to do after meeting with Obama was say "no comment."

I'm getting to a point where I want to start chanting, "No quarter. No mercy."

If you aren't going to register to vote, don't take precious time of either candidate asking questions and for heaven's sake, when the media starts calling for interviews, just follow the famous words of another well known know-nothing, ignoramous and say, "Thanks, but no thanks!."

10. I don't think Joe the Plumber is even a plumber
He said he wanted to buy a plumbing business. He never said he was a plumber.

Quick google shows he is in construction:

13. I thought McCain already tapped him as his future Sec of Commerce
Isn't that how he chose Palin as his VP? :shrug:

15. National prestige may lead to more damn taxes for poor Joe
along with an extra house or two, a couple of boats, and a six pack of cars but still...the damned taxes!!!!

Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 12:58 AM by Zookeeper

On edit: They bought Linda Tripp a new face, too, if I remember correctly.

16. Not to worry.
Sarah Palin will teach him to wink at the camera and say "you betcha!".
