Joe "The Plumber"?

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.

Wow. You are so ignorant. He was found guilty of murder in the civil courts, which makes him a murderer--and hardly a "US American" hero.

Also, if you have stuff taken from you illegally, you don't bring your posse of thugs to take it back at gunpoint. You call the fucking police! What planet are you from?

Excuse me but can I drop kick your head into next week? He was found GUILTY of MURDER in the civil courts. He lost his Hero cape and status then. I am really to gobsmacked by your half witted moronic statements of stupidity to come up with any witty WTF comments right now..

Oh damn, I just trolled you didnt I?
See what you made me do?

Anything is better than the republican party.

Now that is just ridiculous. We'll send you to live with Putin. You won't like it.

Josephine the plumber did comet commercials.

There has already been vast voter fraud. It is sad so sad that anyone would try to take our right and cheapen our votes. It doesn't matter who you are supporting, voter fraud hurts everybody. :frown1:

I think I'll get ACORN to register me to vote in California. I can sell my vote on Proposition 8 to the highest bidder. (no offers of fish please) (no sex with women right now either. still can't stand fish smell)
Cigarbabe, flip me off now :wink:

I think the McCain camp though that vet was short for veterinarian and figured that people don't get looked at by veterinarians (animal doctors).

US American hero.

I didn't know that a former NFL running back, Heisman winner and commerical actor were now considered "hero's"...

Did he fight in a war, be a outstanding role model, at least rescue a cat from high atop a tree....ok maybe he saved someone's life.......nope he just brutally killed 2 people by slicing their throat...and if it wasn't for an incompetent jury 13 years ago he would have probably been deep fried in the chair.

Most of the mythological creature known as Joe the Plumber is wrapped up in his name. Joe works so much better than Ernie the Plumber or Myron the Plumber.

After reading a number of articles we can deduce that Joe lives in a 1,652 sq. ft. house in Holland, Ohio with his 13 year-old son, owes the state of Ohio back taxes, only makes about $40,000 a year and doesn't even have a plumbers certificate. The company he told Obama he wanted to buy is a 2 employee garage type outfit that (according to the Toledo Blade) scraps by doing roughly a hundred grand worth of business a year, mostly fixing toilets.

I think what's really happening here is both Republicans and Democrats have computer isolated the white, blue collar worker as a strategic key demographic in this election, much like the soccer mom was in 2000 and 2004. Meanwhile the comics are having fun with the stocky plumber with the shaved head. Late night laughs at Joe the Plumber - Yahoo! News

I never thought that this would my first post on LPSG. The issue is not "Joe the plumber" the issue is the response that Obama gave to an ordinary American citizen. He wants to spread the wealth around. Wealth redistribution is socialism.

It never ceases to amaze me that the public somehow thinks the president has the same powers as a king to tax and spend money. Only the Congress can do that.
I am sorry you lost your job. I blame the public as a whole. Very few called to protest to congress against NAFTA or the trade agreement with China. Both of the last two presidents pushed for a global economy and the trade agreements. A global economy means a weaker US economy. Also, nobody makes the citizens buy imports. If they'd boycotted them from the start, factories would not have moved operations out of the country. You can't produce a quality product at a fair wage in the USA, and be able to meet Walmart's price demands. Since the majority of the public shops at Walmart, it put huge squeezes on manufacturers. As imports rose, the demand for oil by other foreign nations rose. It pushed the price of oil up, and speculation in the oil futures market by greedy investors drove it to dizzying heights. As the public began to conserve, the price plunged. Gas has fallen in a couple of months from over $4 a gallon to $2.73 here.
Also, nobody made people buy homes, automobiles, and tons of extras that they could not afford let alone finance at high interest rates. Place the blame where the majority of it belongs, the public.

All I really noticed was that the guy sweats profusely. Not that that's a bad thing. I think I'd like to get fucked by a sweaty bastard like him at least once in my life.:biggrin:

 

[B_JasonDawgxxx]

Sorry. But who is he?

 

[faceking]

nice distraction... spend 99% of the focus on this guy
it's like American Idol.... but then...

circa summer 2009... the hangover is over....












"ummmmmmmmmmmm, dude..... ummmmmm now what?"

Sorry. But who is he?

Someone who will not be battling Balthazar Getty for the affections of Sienna Miller at Taverna Tony's over in Malibu. :smile:

McCain should make Joe the plumber his VP....

You can see Canada from Ohio so he has foreign policy experience.

He sounds like he has thought about running a small business so he has plenty of executive experience.

Joe might even be more qualified than Palin!

 

[houtx48]

he's hotter than palin, just not todd palin.

I met Joe the Plumber three years ago in September, 2005. He works for a plumbing contractor who apparently has a license, and he does minor repair type work.

An outdoor faucet on my house was leaking and needed to be replaced. He did the work competently, and seemed friendly and talkative and basically a decent person.

Appearance wise, he wasn't bad looking. He was tall and heavy set, but not at all fat. Sort of the classic football player's build.

He didn't seem at all like the kind of person who would be engaging in any covert political intrigue, and my guess is that he stumbled into becoming a world famous celebrity totally by accident.

Joe the plumber got a telephone call from his doctor at 4.20am requesting that he come out and deal with his blocked toilet. As you can imagine Joe was not at all impressed and told the doctor in no uncertain terms that it was 4.20am and was not prepared to come out there and then. The doctor replied I have never once failed to come out to your house when been call at what ever time day or night when you or any of your family have had a problem, so I think it is ony fair that you do the same. Joe very reluctantly dress and jumped into his van and headed to the doctors house. As turned into the doctors drive he saw the doctor was stood on the front door step in his dressing gown waiting for Joe to arrive. Joe got his toll box out of the back of his van and entered the house, where he was shown the problem toilet by the doctor. Joe lifted the lid and look down into the depths of the bowl looking worried and shaking his head. He then reached into his tool bag and pulled out a bottle of asprin and threw them down the pan and closed the lid. He turn to the doctor and said "If its no better in the morning don't hesitate to give me another call"

Any thoughts on what he might be packing?
