Plungers greet Obama at Virginia Rally

[proud2BlibKansan]

ROANOKE, Virginia (CNN) — The new symbol of the McCain campaign: the plunger.

As Democratic nominee Barack Obama pulled into the Roanoke Civic Center on Friday, he was greeted by the usual McCain campaign supporters that show at Obama rallies. But this time, those waving McCain-Palin signs were joined by dozens of people waving standard-issue plungers. Some wore white t-shirts emblazoned with "I AM JOE THE PLUMBER" on the front. The protesters all said they were volunteers and not paid by the McCain campaign.

The plungers serve as a reference to the 2008 campaign's latest cult personality, Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher of Holland Ohio. (Joe is actually his middle name. First name: Samuel).

While the plungers emerged in Roanoke, McCain's vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin told a fundraiser in neighboring North Carolina Thursday night that she's already tired of "Joe the Plumber."

"Don't make me say Joe the Plumber, please, in any speeches," Palin said.

5. These ignorant souls will be voting against their best interests. It really is sad that

America has become so dumbed down.

[progdonkey]

6. "I am the Joe the Plumber" translation...

"I am so stupid that I'm going to vote for McCain even though I'll get a much bigger tax cut under Obama."

Dumbasses.

[liberal N proud]

7. More unlicensed plumbers?

Do they owe taxes as well?

[SpiralHawk]

8. Cool - The Plunge Protection Team

Here to flush out all the corrupt shit the republicons have impacted America with over the last, long 8 years.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. They are just as misguided as Sam(Joe ) the plumbing worker.

[cliffordu]

10. Never seen plumbers wearing carpenter tool belts before.....Maybe they are all

related to joe....

[Barack_America]

13. Lol. They don't even know what gear a real working man requires.

But I'm sure they're having fun playing dress up!

[Barack_America]

11. Love those brand spanking new Carhartt overalls and belts.

And especially the polo shirt that one guy is wearing under his t-shirt.

:eyes:

[Starry Messenger]

12. Hmm. Soft hands with no calluses.

I call shenanigans. That pallor can only come from the Basement Brigades, anyway.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. Dumb....nt

[Raine]

20. I don't see how Joe "the plumber" helps them

he's a fraud who isn't licensed, doesn't pay his taxes or even make enough money that he needs to worry. Oh well...whatever. :shrug:

[TornadoTN]

21. It's been debunked already - THESE GUYS ARE HEADS OF THE YOUNG REPUBLICANS

It was posted here earlier today:

Shades of the 2000 lynch mobs that stormed Election Offices in Florida.

[demnan]

22. I don't think they're plumbers

I come from a family of plumbers and they look like pussies to me.

[symbolman]

23. Get a Fucking JOB losers!!!

now it's OUR turn :)

These punks wouldn't know which end goes in the toilet, because their mom's are the one who has to come downstairs and unplug their shitter every morning..

[Monk06]

24. The guy holding the McCain sign in the top picture

is Andrew Butash president of the College Republicans.

The guy to the right of Butash in the top pic and on the far
right in the bottom pic is Byron Hodkinson, from Melbourne,
Australia.

Needless to say all are college repugs and are not and
never will be tradesmen, unless political hack is a trade.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. LOL

Gee call me shocked!! :rofl:

[WinkyDink]

25. There's gotta be a toilet joke in there somewhere....

[Lorien]

29. A handful of dorks are newsworthy?

Not exactly the faces of anyone making a quarter mil or more. :eyes:

[Plaid Adder]

30. The plunger is McCain's orb and scepter? How fitting.

These guys don't understand symbolism, do they? Cause otherwise, wouldn't they know that this image sends the message, "McCain/Palin: A Campaign Already So Far In The Toilet It's Blocking Up The Pipes."

Flush,

The Plaid Adder
