Well now the rest of North America sees through Joe the Plumber
My co-worker is from Honduras. She just told me that in her Hispanic newspaper she reads online every day, there is a headline on the front page that says

"Joe the Plumber Wins the Debate but is ILLEGAL"

Then the story went on to report that Joe is not really a plumber, has no license, etc.
:rofl:

1. His name isn't even Joe.
lol


Hey -- do you remember someone posted in GD:P a coupla weeks ago that they talked to someone who claimed to be from Wasilla, and claimed to be here as part of a group? They were asked what they were doing and the reply was, getting ready for Palin's inaugural? I don't know if it turned out to be true or not, but I wonder if this guy is part of that group or a group like that.

2. The Cambodian Times busted "Joe" too.
The world gets it. John McCain remains bizarrely clueless.

3. It warms my heart to...
It warms my heart to finally observe the sobriquet of "illegal" getting applied to more than just one particular cross-section of humanity. :)

Joe didn't pay his taxes? Then Joe is an Illegal-- an approbation that works quite well in my view, and one that should be used quite often (as I do) to describe speeders, jay-walkers, litterers, pot-smokers or anything other activity that may give the slightest of offenses to the cockles of the law. :P

"Joe's an illegal." I may have to use that one.... :rofl:

9. Yes, of course...
"Tax delinquent. That's illegal"

Yes, of course. Who argued or implied anything differently?

I'm simply satisfied to see the term 'illegal' consistently applied, rather than the pick-and-choose, salad-bar style of selectivity used by the provincial and/or the xenophobe.

4. BUT, White House Plumbers don't need a license! LOL ROFLMAO
Are all of McCain's advisors Obama moles, or what? Not likely.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe McCain makes hasty decisions, like Sarah and Joe, an his advisors discover the decisions when they handle the postmortem. :rofl:

10. Poor Sam Joe, another ignorant Repub dupe
And he only makes $40,000 a year so he would get about a $500 tax break under Obama's plan but not under McCain's. I told off a lady in a waiting room of a large automotive repair shop this morning who was spewing McCain talking points about taxes under Obama. I set her and everyone else straight, and added that who do they expect to pay for the 10 trillion deficit under Bush and his Iraq war and Wall Street bailout if it wasn't big business and the wealthiest with highest income and profits? When I got out I saw her huge black $50,000 SUV with huge McCain stickers. She was dressed to the hilt and obviously well-heeled and most unwilling to spread any of her wealth around!
