McCain has a new ad up starring Joe the Plumber...

[Contrary1]

I kid you not.

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more."

Won't affect you at all Joe, since you don't bother paying yours.

1. how does he not pay taxes?

Seriously, is there something on the net I missed? Could you post a link please?

[Kittycat]

4. All the newsies have it.

He has a lien on his house for back taxes in 2007. Wonder over to Ben Smith's blog for a summary.

[AlCzervik]

7. until we find out Joe has outstanding warrants, you know it's going to happen.

[dgibby]

[PA Democrat]

8. That's Richard Mellon-Scaife's right-wing rag, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review

that's shown with the headline "Obama's Tax Cut: New Welfare Deal".

I wonder if they'll continue to run this ad now that "Joe" has been exposed as a complete phony who doesn't pay his taxes anyway.

11. Too bad that commercial doesn't show Obama's answer to "Joe" the "plumber" ...

Starting at 4:24, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFC9jv9jfoA, Obama says to him (after "Joe" the "plumber" whined about paying taxes)

"If the economy is good for folks from the bottom up, it's going to be good for everybody. If you've got a plumbing business, you're going to be better off if you've got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you. Right now, everybody is so pinched business is bad for everybody."

[JerseygirlCT]

13. There HAS to be an answering ad about that!

Can you imagine?

Just wait a few days, till he's stuck in there good.

Then... WHAM!

Joe the Plumber (who's not a plumber at all and not really Joe, either) has already solved his tax problems - he just doesn't pay them!

[librechik]

16. Do those idiots on the McCain media team ever vet anything?

or read a newspaper?

Jeez...

[Contrary1]

17. Oh my, look what I just noticed at :12 on the video:

They spelled "everybody" wrong. Poor John just can't seem to catch a break.

[lonestarnot]

23. Snort.

[rucky]

18. Didn't pass the Fact Check

but that never stops McLiar.

[angstlessk]

19. damn, that thing has 233 comments...

I am sure it is about 63/30 in favor of Obama like all the reliable polls!

[Matariki]

21. He make FOURTY FUCKING THOUSAND a year. Not $250,000

What an idiot.
