Comments on: "I Am Joe The Plumber?" Well, Not Exactly

[kimb54]

Typical McCain he brings up %u201CJoe%u201D then reporters swamp Joe and then McCain blames Obama for Joe%u2019s popularity. Joe can%u2019t afford to buy the business he only makes about 40 thousand a year and the business only makes about 100 thousand per year, facts are not passing the smell test.
Now Joe%u2019s life might get even more complicated. Will his employer be fined for having an unlicensed plumber do certain work? He might if there wasn%u2019t a licensed plumber on sight when Joe was plumbing. Then in the places that the work was done if no certified plumber oversaw the work it my have to be re-done, I see lawsuits against Joe%u2019s boss.
Yep McCain is looking out for his own selfish gains again. McCain invited himself into Joe%u2019s home and took a huge dump and has left it for Joe to deal with the mess!

The World wants Obama.

He can restore some respect back to America.

McCain is too old, unless of course you want a President who turns 80 in his second term?

...and Palin *shudder* that is just a scary thought.

NEEDERBAUER:
You are a vile, ignorant, stupid person. Do you read a newspaper daily? Do you research anything before you get spit out your pathetic propaganda and garbage? You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Senator Obama does not hang out with terrorists never has never will period. Senator Obama is not a socialist. George Bush has been a socialist with his Wall Street bank bailout. Only people with small minds believe your lies. Do me a favor and shut your stupid mouth.

Senator Obama is an excellent man who will make a very good president. I voted for him. I served this country for 20 years on active duty including in combat in the Persian Gulf War and combat support for the Iraq war. Senator Obama is an honorable man who will be a good leader.

George Bush has increased the national debt to $11.4 trillion.
We have two wars that have been huge drain on our resources. Bush has driven the military into the ground. It will take years to rebuild. Our economy is in a shambles. Republicans deserve to be in an unemployment line.

According to Joe, any progressive tax policy is socialist. That''s a stretch and he definitely needs to read up on socialism.

Joe''s assumption is that the reward system in America is totally effort-based: you earn more because you work harder. Ask those folks who work three jobs, work more than 12 hours and sleep only 5 hours a day and still can''t make ends meet. I don''t think Obama''s plan is to reward slackers. In fact, his main theme is how to make sure those who work hard can pursue their American dream. It''s about equal opportunity for those who work hard: if you work very hard but still can''t make ends meet, there is something wrong with the system and we need to address it so you can still afford to invest in your as well as your kids'' future.

Let''s see --- maybe those college students major in plumbing science.

"Redistribution of wealth" = bailings-out of megawealthy Wall St. screwups.

So now that "Joe the Plumber" has been found to be unlicensed -- which is illegal and subject to fine -- he arrogantly complains that those revealing that fact are "messing with" his income.

Being Republican, he expresses no cognizance, let alone concern with, his direct "messing with" the rule of law.

So he rejects the rule of law, and attempts to intimidate those who reveal his lawlessness, as wouled the typical criminal, instead of deciding to comply with the law.
