Sitting here putting on my tin foil hat and thinking like a republican..
hmmmmmmm

All they have is joe the plumber.. I think we are going to see that expand over the next two weeks. I caught a quick blip of a mccain campaign and there were all kinds of signs behind him..joe the truckdriver etc..

But my guess is, that they need a lot of press, and want to make a lot of noise.. They are going to try and stake themselves out and do a "joe the plumber" moment with Senator Obama again, trying to make some political hay

Or they are going to follow his campagin and make as much noise as possible to attract the MSM. Yelling and screaming.

There is so little left to them, and they are going to go off the cliff big time

1. Joe isn't in the Plumbers Union is he?
Didn't think so.

2. "Joe the sitter in his mommy's basement listening to rush"

3. Two weeks left and they have nothing. I think they would be smart
if Sarah had an "emergency" of some sort in AK and needed to get back indefinitely. Gramps could go to his whatever rallys he has left and then the both of them get together on the 4th. Of course, that's just me but if I were where they are, what's left? Their horrid bile and venom has been called out by one of their own (actually many)so who's to listen?

6. Trying to think like a Republican here....
Let's give it a shot...

Man, I'd love to get that Cowboy's cheerleader in bed. If I got more tax breaks, I could buy a hotter car, and maybe a stripper would want to sleep with me. I could tell my wife the car was just a midlife crisis thing, she' believe that. Women are easy to lie to. I could give up the coke and use that money on the car, but why? I'll just vote for McCain instead. Besides, cheerleaders like those hot black guys like Obama, and he'd steal her from me. Can't vote for someone better than me. McCain it is. Maybe then I can stare at Palin and my wife will just think it's politics. Women. They won't let men be men. Except that Sarah gal. She winks all the time, like a hot woman should. Joe Biden, he scares me. Looks like he's always thinking about stuff, figuring stuff out. I hate assholes like that. They keep stealing my jobs. So I can't vote for them, because Obama will steal my strippers and Biden will steal my job and Sarah Palin is hot and McCain looks like a twerp I could squash if I wanted to. Got that all worked out. Now let me plan my next hunting trip. How about little kids in South America? Hahaha! I wish. Damn liberals would probably get mad, call them people or something. I hate liberals. Never let me have any fun...

Alright, I'm done thinking like a Republican. I will have to fast for six days and take a scrubbing hot shower.

7. I know....
..but the real problem with Joe is not that he lied about who he is or that he is lying about buying a business, it's that they are also lying about Obama's tax plan!!

They're now saying that even if Joe lied about who he is, that does not dispute the fact that the question is still a valid question. In other words, if Joe's business would make over $250,000 per year, it would put all of his income into a higher tax bracket.

But if you look at it that way, they're still lying about Obama's tax plan!!

As this page illustrates:

In any event, Obama’s tax plan specifies that the higher rate would apply only to income above the $250,000 threshold. Assuming Wurzelbacher’s income as owner somehow hit $280,000 — the top end of his supposition of the company’s revenue — only the extra $30,000 would be taxed at a higher rate.


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27221645/

So, Joe would still be getting a tax break for most of his income!!! He would only pay a higher tax rate on the income over $250,000!!!

9. I know, isn't that the craziest thing.
And joe the non plumber even admitted when he looked at it, he would make more money under Obamas plan. They are truly truly delusional

10. that's true.....
on the 'Joe the plumber' argument, they lose no matter what they say!!

If you really look at the plan, you'll see that he gets a tax cut on the larger part of his income!
