Joe Plumber - McCain Made Me Feel "Dirty"

How John McCain could make anyone feel "dirty" is beyond us, but that's what Joe the Plumber is alleging today.

In an interview, as Politico notes, Joe Wurzelbacher says being on McCain's bus made him angry and some of the discourse "appalled" him. He says he felt "dirty" after "being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place."

The unlicensed plumber adds, for good measure, he thinks Barack Obama is "dangerous" and Sarah Palin is "the real deal."

16. MORONS -

Joe asked a question, Obama answered it. A lot of you idiots don't even realize Obama thinks spreading the wealth is a good thing. Taking money from one who earned it and giving it to someone that had no part in earning it. Most of you must fall into the latter category. Do any of you know that the director of Ohio's Jobs and Family Services and her ilk are the ones that used public resources illegally to obtain information that left wing bloggers and Obama supporters used to smear Joe? She's on unpaid disciplinary leave and should have been fired. She also used taxpayer owned computers to raise money for Obama's campaign. Also a Toledo Police Department clerk is facing disciplinary action for her part in accessing Joe's records. What do you have to say about these people and their illegal activity?????

What you people don't realize is that we are allowed to ask questions of those seeking public office. It is our right and duty as citizens of this great country. The smears on Joe the Plumber by you people here are some of the stupidest comments I have read.

17. What's the matter Joe? The gravy train stopped and you are dying to get more publicity out of it? After all you did hire a PR person! Just anyther pipe dream down the tubes and now you have to go and badmouth McCain! By the way, I am not a McCain fan however up until now, you were! If I was unhappy about the goings on with McCain, I would have ran off the bus but not you! You rode that gravy train as long as you could! Try getting your license and becoming a real plumber! Stop using your ex as an excuse as to why you do not have your license yet! You should feel dirty and ashamed of yourself. Now that no one is interviewing you, you are trying to keep your name out there!

You are really a total tool!

18. The election is over, McCain has moved on as well...and this guy needs to go back to doing his unlicensed plumber work again. His 15 minutes of fame is done. Obama is dangerous? What would really be dangerous is Sarah Palin being next in line to be president....thank goodness that didn't get the chance to become a reality.
Joe the Plumber is giving hard working people a bad name.

27. GINA - it would be rather helpful if you would back up your name calling with facts that refute what just about everyone else is saying. What misleading tidbits is TMZ using that have caused all of us to be WRONG?

28. Hey Joe's furnace girl, the media didn't put him in the light. You are right, alls the man did was ask a question, which is what we all should do to canidates. It was a desperate McCain/Palin campaign that "drug" him into the light. At any time he could have stepped away but he saw his chance for his 15 minutes and he took it. The media did only what the media does. Were they not suppose to check this guy out? It was the Republicans that were saying that he was the poster boy for all "normal average" Americans. McCain stood there and said he would take him to Washington with him when he won. What was this guy going to do? A cabinet post? Was he going to be Palin's pick to be ambassador to Africa? By the way, I can fly seven different types of planes on the computer but that doesn't make me a pilot. Joe needs to get his license to be a real plummer. The echos from the election had not even faded yet and he was already talking about a book deal. What was he going to write ? A book on how to be a political leach and stooge. Oh and let's not forget the country album deal. Oh and let me guess, headlining the next CMA Awards? The way he thinks he probably figures that with his exstensive expertice in politics he should be a professor at Yale or Havard. Look furnace girl and you as well gina. The reality is that we all want our shot at the light and to make the most of even the smallest opportunity. It's natural. It doesn't matter if that's what Joe had in mind when he asked Obama a question. Whar matters is that when the Republicans came calling he saw his shot and he took it. It didn't work out and his horse didn't win. Sorry Joe but that's life. Why anyone would even want to interview him is beyond me but now he wants to be a victim, please. He could no more tell us about what the campaign was like than the bus driver could. Sorry Joe, you were just a political prop in a play that closed. And that is the voice of reality.

29. VOICE OF 'REALITY'---before you go about preaching what you think this Joe dude wants, or what he thinks he should be...try listening to the actual INTERVIEW!
