So That's Why Joe the Plumber Wants a Tax Break

16. Can't you just see all of these posters gnashing their teeth and thumping their coffee cups in indignation? Yes, we need four more years of this vitriolic garbage. It's especially disappointing seeing the majority of these posters are women. You just don't get it, do you?

17. Joe the plumber = the latest is a series of ridiculous ploys and tactics in a failed GOP campaign.

If anyone believes this guy just magically appeared out of thin air, I have some ocean front land in Kansas to sell you.

BTW, his true colors came out when he did his first interview. Can we have a TRUE undecided middle-class voter spotlighted? Not a lying GOP supporter posing as an "everyman"

19. His name is Samuel Joseph. Last I heard it's still OK to be called your middle name. He's concerned about taxes, taxation without representation, etc. So what - he has a tax lien against him. Obviously, he has trouble paying his taxes - maybe it's because we ALL (Democrats & Republicans) are taxed too much!

20. McSame has never had a chance. Republicans are coming over to other side like standing in line for Beanie Babies!
Do we blame them? No. I love when I see normal middle class white men supporting Obama. I like to see them be brave and admit that they feel their party has forgotten about them. They have. It can't be easy being on of uuzz guys.

We have one hope and that hope will standing up for ALL of us. Even uuuzzz guys. So, come on over, the waters nice.
We accept all kinds. Gay or straight, white, black, tan, tannish, blackish, whiteish. That is why being a liberal is a wonderful thing. It takes too much energy being a hater. When you guys will get that, I just don't know.

AAAAAHHHHHHH.

22. Don't forget to include that at he pay rate now, he would receive a tax break from Obama. What a loser and a con. YOU DUMB MCCAIN SUPPORTERS ARE JUST MAD YOUR PLAN BACKFIRED. LOL.

23. To: Republican for Obama::::

Our plan hasn't backfired.....you hide and watch Obama "go down". His wife's interview with the African Press is going to make your man's plan backfire. Obama would ruin OUR USA... He needs to be stopped before he gets started.

REUBLICAN FOR MCCAIN

Posted at 10:05AM on Oct 17th 2008 by Republican for McCain

24. 1. This guy is a registered REPUBLICAN who voted in the Ohio REPUBLICAN PRIMARY. Not an Independant voter.
2. His name is NOT JOE, it is SAMUEL.
3. HE IS NOT A LICENSED PLUMBER IN OHIO.
4. In order to conplain about a tax plan, YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES. He as a lein on him. He has NEVER made $250K in his life.

THIS GUY WAS ANOTHER STUPID SHILL FOR JOHN McCAIN. THEY ACTUALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO MADE PALIN LOOK GOOD. This was just another set up that failed by the McCain Campign an not he is the national laughinstock!!! He should be, Pay your taxes.

25. That is what he gets!! He should have been talking with his friends about this, instead of putting a Presidential Candidate on the spot. I saw the video and he was more interested in trying talk over Obama but, he got him straight. What did he think was going to happen. They were going to research anything and everything about him. He didn't want to be in the spot light, he sure has been doing a lot of interviews.

They video tape everything. Joe, Sam or dumb ass is not as smart as he thinks!!!!

26. THE MEDIA DOING A BACKGROUND CHECK ON A MAN WHO ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION TO THE MESIAH. OH NO, WILL PROBABLY SCARE OFF PEOPLE FROM ASKING ANYMORE QUESTIONS TO THE CHOSEN ONE. THIS KIND OF STUFF MAKES ME SICK. JUST BECAUSE HE IS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN DOES NOT MEAN HE HAS DECIDED WHO TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW AT GENERAL ELECTION YOU CAN VOTE FOR WHOMEVER YOU WANT TO. BUT I'M SURE HE HAS MADE UP HIS MIND NOW, SINCE MR JOE BIDEN DECIDES TO COME OUT AND SAY HE'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN A PLUMBER, AND THE WONDERFUL OBAMA MEDIA TRYING TO DISGRACE THIS MAN. JUST AWEFUL!

27. joe, bob, or sam, who cares what his name is, and if his middle name is joe, obama doesn't like having his middle name being used, houssein i think. the whole point of the guy was to get obama to spew out of his mouth his real motives for taxing the crap out of all of us. not to do as the constitution spells out, but to be obama the hood, kinda like robin hood, but with armed federal agents to do the taking from us, and giving it to people who do not try to better themselves. when is tmz going to do a full story on bill ayers, go look in his trash cans, he has real skeletons in his closet, the ones that died when his group was planting bombs in government buildings. or where is the video of old hair plugs biden, with his fav 3 letter word,
j-o-b-s? or the president giving a nationwide address on televsion, about 15 years before anybody had one? but i must be a racist like harry reid said, because i will not be voting for the the guy who has been palling around like osama bin laden, with a guy who bombed the pentagon. tim mcveigh was put to death for bombing a federal building, bill ayers will be the secretary of education under a president b. houssien obama, i guess that must be the change he is talking about.

28. Republican for McCain

Buddy, I think the stunt clearly backfired. McCain and his erratic leadership within the last month and that dumb Bimbo he has as a running mate, has embarrassed the party like none before. McCain's campaign makes Bush's administration look like the Great Roman Empire. The dumb stories about her igniting the base is a joke. This "base" the media keeps portraying are not true Republican base. They are just some ignorant back woods uneducated poor white trash. And Joe the Plumber is one of them.

29. Joseph is the guys middle name besides, who he is is not the point. His question to Obama and Obama's answer is the point. Obama is a socialist. Do you want to redistribute your hard earned wealth to people who don't work or pay taxes? Hugo Chavez will take you.

30. the whole first name middle name is a beaten dead horse. My brother AND brother in law each go by middle names-- so what? the fact this guy ahs a tax lien at CURRENT rates is exactly the point. how in God's name would he afofrd higher SMB tax penalties. He's a plumbers apprentice, which still makes him a plumber, albeit it not fully licensed. He nor McCain said he WANTED to buy the business, not taht he owned it. The was the whole point- how was he going to be able toit move forward only to be whammed with more taxes. UUUGGGHH listen to the entire set of statements not sound bites.
