I think the msm is going to make a major ass out of itself with Joe the Plumber.
At first glance, I have been reading some very interesting and somewhat strange things about this Joe character. The msm seems to be poised to make him some type of celebrity. I think when all the facts are in, Joe the plumber is not the person a lot of people think he is.

This will be very interesting to watch.

8. Don't know about that, but it does seem that the views he has already expressed to the msm is
rabidly right wing in nature and he is not even registered to vote in Ohio. Something don't smell right here. Take it to the bank.

16. He registered under his first name "Samuel" in 1992 and voted this past March in
the republican primary. :wow:

2. Did Obama actually knock on his door on Sunday, or was he rounded up
and planted to ask tax questions by local GOP leaders who knew Obama was coming? I'm curious about that.

9. No, Joe said he was going to be in New York this weekend
You think he would change his plans!
His publicist should know that!
(you know he has one by now)

10. Well, in all honesty, you do have an excellent point there and can not answer that question.

7. They're desperate to prop up McCain so they ahve a horse race
and are hopeful Joe the Plumber will alter the narrative enough to tighten things up.

Unfortunately for them, I believe they are actually helping Obama which will prematurely destroy any semblance of a horse race.

11. Joe seems very angry!!!!
So he will fit in well with the McCain camp.

I just watched a clip of him on MSNBC and he holds his tongue pretty decently until near the end of the clip when he lets loose and it is readily apparent what his true convictions are.

Joe needs to get back to work (so he can pay off his tax lien!!!) and the country needs to forget about him.

12. I guess they forgot to properly vet him.
Seems to be a theme.

13. "Going to"? By fawning all over him and doing interviews, they already have.

14. I find it interesting that I watched two different focus groups last night and both of them said
that this whole plumber Joe thing turned them off. But McCain was pushing it and I think the corporate whore media now feels obliged to follow up on McCains come back strategy. Just my opinion, but the whole thing stinks to high heaven.

15. They already have. Now "the truth" about this guy's first name and background
is seeping through to the corporate media whores of the M$M. THEY KNOW that the jig is up ... IMO, they are backing away from this character. If they're smart, they'll continue the retreat from "Sam the Keating Affiliated REPUBLICAN" who lost his plumbing license in 2002. :wow: :evilgrin:

20. If his real name is Sam, could he be Son of Sam escaped from prison in disguise?
It might not be likely, but it's possible.
In fact, it's very probable if you look at it right.
In fact, it makes complete sense.
It's true!
Joe the Plumber is Son of Sam!
Go tell everybody!
