McCain only funds said Palestinian subordinates. I guess that's much better. He throws enemies off the plane, savors Palin bashing, spying on Joe the plumber like the KGB, and having to tape Biden's mouth for speaking too freely. Think of what is to come as prez when the liberal media can no longer protect him. He will add many to his enemies but he will meet his Watergate. Exagerate much? You can also believe that santa will come if you are good, but thats not going to happen either. Last Edited By: Miles Edgeworth 11/01/08 9:45 AM. Edited 1 times.

He doesn't pay his taxes and is a liar. McCain said that Joe the Plumber is "an American hero, a great citizen of Ohio and my role model." WTF? Why would he SAY something so stupid?

He reminds people of Obama's share the wealth comment. He also reminds people of the unfair treatment most of the media has given the GOP.

You know, people keep saying MSNBC is in the tank for Obama but every time I turn it on they are talking about McCain or showing a McCain/Palin rally. I think they have given McCain more air time than Obama.

Little violins are playing ever so gently. When you have nothing else to add, just blame the media for McCain's performance. Joe the Plumber hasn't helped McCain for squat. His support hasn't improved in the slightest since he debuted this absurd distraction. He's turned a pale representation of middle class into a minstrel show. He makes the middle class look like a buffoon.

McCain said that Joe the Plumber is "an American hero, a great citizen of Ohio and my role model." WTF? Why would he SAY something so stupid? *raises hand* Because Joe stands for the same "oppressed" group Nixon pandered to in 1968: It's Silent Majority v.2 As with his Veep pick, McCain did a poor job vetting "Joe." Moreover, the image of Joe no longer represents the electorate. The McCain-Palin = Nixon-Agnew parallel applies, again.

Because the media did a little fact-checking on Joe the Not-Plumber's assertions? Anybody remember Graham Frost?

More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Here's the problem with the entire "Joe the Plumber" schtick: Joe = untrue Plumber = lie About to buy a $250,000 business = pants on fire So the only thing Joe really represents is a certain shrinking sector of the electorate that feels oppressed right now. It's sad, really.

Yes, it was terrible of the Democrats to interject a 12 year old boy into politics in that manner. Shame on them.

No doubt there are a plethora of peeps who throw hypothetical traps at the candidates using themselves as the subject - even though they may not actually be factual. So what? You meet a candidate briefly, you throw out a hard-hitting question and see how they respond. How often does that stuff come back to haunt you? And it's not like the question was off limits itself. For me, Joe carries no weight because, by his own admission, he was on welfare for awhile. The very thing he's campaigning against bailed his ass out when he was down. Again, it's the same old "if it's not benefitting me right now, what good is it" argument. It's just ignorant, considering what his life really has been like. Plus, I think he's been forced in way over his head with this whole scenario, and is just doing his best to tread water. I don't envy him.

And isn't the country full of guys who make $50K but think they'll be making $250K next year. And then next year they're making the same $50K but they're sure the year after it'll be $250K?

She is currently being investigated by the democratic governor. Don't expect fireworks.
