Saw (Heard) Joe the Plumber on CBS After the Debate: He's in the tank for McCain.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

He wouldnt say who he's voting for but thought McCain did a good job.

[Thrill]

1. He's a repuke. He's not fooling anyone. And I seriously doubt

he owns a plumbing business that makes 250,000. Can't wait until someone investigates him

[jezebel]

2. He's been on Fox several times in the last few days. He's with McCain.;

[FloridaGrl]

3. Obama is going to be the president for all america

including Joe. McCain seems to be running for Joe and nobody else.

4. Hey, good luck to him earning $250,000. Be happy, bro.You made the top 1%.

Why is it that when you give a tax break to the top 1%, it isn't class warfare, but take it away and give a tax break to the other 95%, it is.

[KathieG]

18. I know...

Funny how that works huh?

[DeepBlueDem]

5. A plumber making 250k per year?? huh

[knowbody0]

10. and this hourly wage average guy is going to buy

a $300,000 business.

[iceman66]

17. That's not too unrealistic

for a plumber who owns his own business and maybe has a couple of other guys working for him.

[mrcheerful]

6. The daily show last night had Joe I wanna be a rich guy by hiring as many low wage

employees I can so pay roll don't cut my over head and its unfair Obama wants to tax me for it the plumber already admitted he was a McShit voter. Obama wants to tax him. Poor baby, gets tax breaks for expenses, passes sales taxes onto customers and Obama wants him to pay his share of taxes. WTF is wrong with these greedy assholes? Without the customers he won't earn a dime, when the little guy gets to pay Joe plumber's taxes they buy books on plumbing and do the work themselves or find family/friends that will do it for them, stupid assholes.

[book_worm]

7. who really cares about Joe the fucking plumber?

[iceman66]

8. I think he was for McCain all along

When he talked to Obama, it seemed like he was trying to trip him up, but it didn't work.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. Let Obama be president of the United States. McCain can be president of Joe.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. Works for me.

[rufus dog]

11. He didn't go over well with the focus group on CNN

Never seen him, but my recommendation to him would not to go around bitching about having to pay more taxes because I make over 250k. Not the economic climate to have people feel sorry for you.

[anonymous171]

12. Sounds like he just doesn't trust Obama. We all know what that really means.

[Lisa0825]

14. He has admitted a few times that he was favoring McCain. nt

[RagAss]

15. I know I always ask my plumber who he's voting for....

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

[LibraLiz1973]

16. Well, the freepers think he just won McCain the election

I seriously do not understand the level of Republican stupidity.

19. I'll bet that "Joe the Plumber" hasn't used a pipe wrench in ten years.

[Hansel]

20. I bet Joe the Plumber was a plant from the beginning.

The whole thing doesn't pass the smell test.

21. Here's a portion of Joe's interview with a right wing website:

PM: Obama gave you quite a long answer, I see, on Jake Tapper’s blog on ABC News. He did give you quite an extensive answer to your question talking about a 50% tax credit for healthcare costs, that sort of thing, and he talked about the reason he’s doing this – saying 95% of small businesses make less than $250,000 a year. He talked about your time as a plumber– you said you’ve been a plumber for 15 years?


JW: Yes.

PM: Okay, and then he talked about 10, 15 years ago maybe you weren’t making that sort of money, how would you feel – if you were just starting out, or maybe looking back – the kind of tax cut that he’s promising for other people, does that still make you think that that’s a great idea?

JW: No. See, I believe in working for what I get. I don’t want to say it’s a handout, but essentially that’s what it comes down to. You’re going to tax someone else more that’s been working hard to fulfill the American Dream and you’re gonna give it to other people who – I’m not saying they don’t work as hard, but I’m sure some of them don’t – and I don’t think it’s right just to give it to them or reduce taxes on their part and hike it up on my part like a teeter totter to bring it back even. So no, that wouldn’t – well, let me rephrase that. It would appeal to me because back then I was struggling. That kind of thing appeals to me – anybody wants to cut my taxes, I look at it very seriously, it’s like, it sounds great. But you gotta see what the other hand is doing too.

PM: Still, in that vein, Obama says he doesn’t want to “punish” you, but he wants to – let me see if I can see what his exact quote was…

JW: Redistribute the wealth.

PM: …taxing small businesses making $250,000 and above is going to help the people “behind you.” And yes, “spreading the wealth around.” How did you feel about that?

JW: As soon as he said it, he contradicted himself. He doesn’t want to “punish” me, but – when you use the word “but,” you pretty much negate everything you just said prior to that. So he does want to punish me, he does want to punish me for working harder to – you know, my big thing is the American Dream. I work hard. You know, I was poor; my mom raised me and my brother by herself for a very long time until my dad came along. So I know what it’s like to suffer. It’s not like I was born with a silver spoon. Usually it was a wooden spoon and it was on my butt. It was just a contradiction of terms, what he said: he doesn’t want to punish me but he wants to redistribute my wealth. And what I mean when I say my wealth, I mean the collective. Eventually – I mean, just to sound a little silly here, but you need rich people. I mean, who are you going to work for?

I think it's pretty clear who he's voting for.

22. First time I saw him, with the sound down, with hands on hips & jaw jutting,

I knew he didnt like Obama, without even knowing
what the chat was about.
