I thought that I had heard it all, from you. Now you've done it SP, you've outdone yourself in the stupid department. That is the most inane pack of brain-crap of yours that I have ever has the displeasure of reading. Are you really that idiotic, or is it some kind of act?

We needed one more 'Joe the Plumber' moment.

When Obama was talking about how he was going to help American workers hurt by work being sent overseas to cheaper labor markets, someone needed to put him on the spot and ask him about American workers being hurt by having to compete with illegal aliens from overseas.

I would of loved to hear him 'hem and haw' on that.

What a small world.. 'Wurzelbacher' as in 'Joe the Plumber' is the same last name as the son-in-law of Charles Keating, as in 'Keating 5.' This has to be an extreme coincidence.

SP4: Really?Oct 29th, 2008 - 17:35:10

...ask yourself why the three major networks are gagging stories on Obama while dismembering Palin and McCain? All three major news networks and most of the cable news outlets, except Fox, are doing it. They rave at Ted Stevens but give Barney Frank and Dodd a pass. This happens daily.

Murdoch has handed them their balls for the last 10 years, stripping viewers and readers. This is their gambit to get back on an even playing field, made even by law, instead of letting simple freedom of the press, and free markets determine who wins. Their minions are all to happy to help, all being libnazis to begin with. Don't believe me...remember the Dan Rather mess? You don't really think that just stopped there, did you?


The dems are happy to oblige, as it will cement loyalty both ways. Me?...wrong?...perish the thought!

Kerrie, I've notice the name Mcainthey bandied about recently. Look up 'Venona papers'.

McCain is the one who brought poor Plumber Joe out and caused him so much grief. McCain didn't have any thing of much substance to talk about outside of his constant attacks.

I think McCain is right on whenOct 29th, 2008 - 23:19:28

he says that Obama will change his mind (again) about who gets tax hikes and who gets tax cuts.

Obama wants to fund massive housing developments and that is why all the corporations and the media are supporting him, and we will have to pay for it, sooner or later.

That bill is ours to pay. Add to it all the crooked mortagages and derivatives and the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - all that stuff is exactly how Obama has worked his whole life to have it. He and the people on his team are the ones who created these policies that are killing us now with all the bad mortgages.

Obama has spent his adult life in a church that teaches that hating white people is okay and that reparations should be made to blacks and that is what is happening, whether anyone will admit it or not.

And the bankers are down with that because they are scum who are more than happy to make money off of these kinds of bad policies.

It is racistOct 29th, 2008 - 23:21:46

to not call Obama a racist, just because he is black

I can't believe people would vote for a racist. It's crazy.

The plumber now has a press agent and wants to sign a book deal and try to be a country/western singer. McCain parading him around on his campaign was a lame idea at best. This guy can't answer questions asked of him about policies, etc. If this is the best McCain can do, he's got a serious problem at the end of his campaign.

Jeezus H. Key-riste, lady. Go back to being a homecoming queen. Unless, of course, your looks are as old and wrinkled and shrivelled as your brain. The Venona Papers? For Gawds sake, female person, get a life.

I was waiting for this...to see who he was going to back. Plumbers are normally the first people I turn to for my political advice.

has got to be one of the most ridiculous campaign ideas ever. This is just typical of a party or candidate who doesn't have substance.

Joe the Plumber endorses McCain. Well, that sure helps make my mind up on who to vote for.

Yeah, how dare this nobody question Obama.Oct 30th, 2008 - 15:08:45

What was an American doing asking an inconvenient, non fluff question to Obama? Our savior from re-electing Bush? Don't you know he doesn't have a plumbers license?




Democracy... dragged down to the lowest common denominator.

Everyone knows how pathetic this was of McCain to make an issue of poor Joe and run it all out of proportion. But now he has an agent, wants to write a book and be a country-western singer, so maybe politically it was a bust, but it got him 5 minutes of fame......LOL

..has got to be the funniest campaign gambit ever. He says one thing and the dems crap themselves. The libnazi press disembowels his life by invading the priviacy they claim to so love.

One simple Plummer...

What's a 'plummer'? The Democrats feel sorry for the publicity poor Joe has suffered under McCain's idiotic plan and constant talking about him.
Joe ought to sue him, although now that he has a manager he might just end up on the receiving end of this lame 'plumber show'! What crap!
