gop_will_win,

Apparently you were blind the other night. Obama was wearing a flag pin but McCain wasn''''t.

gop_will_win,

It wasn''''t liberals who brought this poor man''''s tax dodging ways into the public eye, it was McCain.

Sam the tax dodger is a fraud and is clearly working with the McCain Campaign. He confronted Obama at the rally with McCain cmera crew in tow and now is whining that his own background is being explored and found wanting.

He Joe or Sam or whatever your name is..if you want to buy that business, first pay your taxes, get your license and then take out a bank or SBA loan.

If you''''re any kind of a businessman your accountant will help you to keep your taxable income under $250,000 so you''''ll get Obama''''s tax cut.

Nice try to try to pin the blame on us. The reason all these ills plague this poor soul is you liberals. If you liberals would just vote right this need have never happened.

Charity begins at home:

The McCains'' prenup said it all for me. McCain cannot be trusted to manage what is about the largest economy in the world, when, within his own household economy, the wife-dearest thinks he''s not to be trusted.

McCain must be a traitor; he has not worn an American flag pin to any of the debates.

A Democratic Congress promised you things that they never delivered. McCain is not Bush. Obama is a disaster. You will go broke, the wealthy will not pay higher taxes before they give it you, and this country will be toast. Obama is just not mature, qualified, or experianced enough to know what the heck he is saying or doing. Yes, a good campaign, but he certainly does not have good judgement, nor does anyone who follows him around. Freedom isn''t free.
A Dem Pres. cost you BIG TIME and some liberals just don''t care. AMAZING.

Is there any doubt that Samuel Joseph Wurzbacher, the so-called "Joe" by the Republicans is really a hitman for the GOP? Would anyone be surprised if we soon find out he has ties to racist and Nazi groups? By the way, is he not also a recent immigrant from Austria? Obviously his idea--the Republican Idea of the American Dream is to use America, her labor and her resources to get yourself rich, proclaim yourself a "self-made" man and then feel no responsibility to give back anything to the country and society that gave you the freedom and opportunity to succeed. It is precisely this kind of selfishness and greed that has got out nation in an economic hole as we were in in the 1920s. Again, we need a _Democrat to bail us out.

The Republicans are so deceitful. They will champion anybody like "Joe the plumber". There faces should be "RED" by now. After all, they threw all they had to SARAH PALIN! And look at what she has done! Nothing put helped to pull down McCain''''s chance for the presidency!

Republicans, you need to stop and breathe!

If all the Republicans are so offended by the thought of raising taxes on the richest people in America and cutting taxes on the middle-class, then by all means don''t accept the extra money when you pay your taxes - send the difference back to the IRS. I''m sure they would be more than willing to take it back.
But of course, Republicans love to talk the talk, but never in a million years would they walk the walk if its dime on the line. Pitiful.

There are many proud American flag lapel wearing patriots such as I who believe the liberals have sunk to new levels of dispicableness in investigating this poor man and uncovering him to be a tax dodging fraud!

Joe the Plumber is Sam the aging skinhead who proclaims...my country right or wrong. Joe is simply a selfish American who live as each man for himself. A divided country cannot be strong. And the ones who would divide America are unpatriotic. Sam says he gives money to the government and gets little back. Well, what do you call the military? and public infrastructure? Sam you get alot back from the government...you just are blind

Fake plumber is right. The guy''s probably not even a plumber! He''s never had a license, not even an apprenticeship, and is not a member of the union. His "boss" can''t be reached at all. There''s just this guy doing the talking. AND, he just might be closely tied to McCain via one of the Keating Five:

"Joe the Plumber, the star of tonight''s debate, may have a very interesting connection to John McCain.

In fact, Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) of Cincinnati, Ohio may be related to one Robert Wurzelbacher of Cincinnati, Ohio, who happens to be Charles Keating''s son-in-law.

Robert Wurzelbacher was implicated in the Keating 5 scandal, and sentenced to 40 months in prison in 1993.

Wurzelbacher is also a huge Republican donor."

Coincidence? ORLY.

"tax rich higher and the poor lower and the redistribute the wealth by law. So basically that gives no motivation to improve ones self."

so if you pay taxes you feel no motivation to work? That is just laziness. Keep in mind Obama is not proposing a tax increase, just removing the temporary cuts Bush gave to high-income earners. Those cuts were supposed to stimulate the economy by trickle down. Did not work. Ending a failed program is something we can all agree on.
