The only thing I found interesting about him is that last night he stated that he wasn't contacted by McCain's camp or ANYONE prior to last night's debate, but when asked this morning, he admitted that he was called & asked to attend Obama's rally...

I wonder what else he was "asked" to do?

Wikipedia has this to say...

During the debate repeated references were made to Joe Wurzelbacher, aka "Joe the Plumber"[39] Wurzelbacher had confronted the candidate while Obama was canvassing in Holland a suburb of Toledo, Ohio where Wurzelbacher complained that Obama's tax policy would make it difficult for him to expand his business and hire more employees if he bought the business that he had been employed at as a plumber. Obama gave a five minute response, which Wurzelbacher later dismissed as "tap dancing...he was almost as good as Sammy Davis Jr." which led to accusations of racism.[40] [41][39][42] McCain repeatedly brought up "Joe the Plumber" and Obama and McCain then made statements aimed directly at Wurzelbacher. These events led to subsequent media attention directed at Wurzelbacher.[43][44][45] After the debate, Wurzelbacher, who has been a registered Republican since 1992 under the name "Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher," did not declare his vote for either senator, although he expressed concern that Obama's plans were "one step closer to socialism."[46] Obama's running mate Joe Biden argued that the vast majority of small businesses are smaller than Wurzelbacher's. [47]

he said this morning that he mite vote for as hubby now calls him [McSoB] but he wasnt sure yet. but i also heard on the news bought a hour so that he was not licened to be a plumber in ohio, and he stated that he didnt even do pluming work, SO i wonder what the real deal is there now. OBAM talks to him on the street. and blinkieeee takes up most of the debate talking to him so to speak. a little behind on the news today been busy. but they did say McC. used joe the plumb, 69 times and Obama 4 times so im going to try and see the news updates in a few, who really knows with this guy. LOL

Oh, you gotta love the liberal smear machine. Drink up the Kool-Aid folks... and keep up this demonizing bullshit so that the rest of the country finally sees you lot for what you really are! None of you really believes in fairness and you're not the enlightened people you deign to portray yourselves as.

Joe the Plumber, whether or not he owes taxes or isn't registered to vote asked a very important question and brought attention to one of Obama's dirty tax policy secrets he would have snuck passed you hypnotized brain-dead automatons had it not been brought up. God bless him. I wish there were more Joe the Plumbers out there.

Joe doesn't like social security and originally registered as a member of the Natural Law Party, then changed to a registered Republican in order to vote in this year's Primary Election. As noted, he also doesn't like paying taxes...period. He's certainly entitled to his views...he's also a military veteran.

Since McCain appears so enamored of Joe, the unregistered/unlicensed plumber, perhaps he should name him Secretary of Labor. He'd be popular with the extreme right-wing and is certainly as qualified as McCain's VP choice. Joe and Todd Palin would be the perfect Washington bromance.

And Republicans ponder why John McCain continues to lose standing in the polls. Go figure.

Apparently he isn't licensed as a plumber, so he need supervision by a master slumber...
Even funnier ist that he doesn't seem to be registered to vote ...
LOL

It seems that the McCain people vet anyone.

Soon to be Joe the Con taking it up the ass and loving it. He an OJ will be cute together
Show some respect for OJ. He was found innocent of murder and was in the latest case just getting his shit back. He used a typical "sting" operation which is done all of the time--and he was setup and rail-roaded! He's a great US American hero.

I find your statement insulting to America.
