Why is it Joe the Plumber-who owes back taxes-McCain's poster boy?

[yorkie]

What the heck is McShame thinking?
What does this say about our government and our duty to support our country?

[Dennis Donovan]

1. They vetted Joe as well as they vetted Palin...

Ooopsie!

Welcome to DU!:hi:

[polichick]

2. Man crush??

[jpertello]

8. It's a Bromance

[BrklynLiberal]

3. No thinking involved in his speeches.

[KingFlorez]

4. Joe the Plumber not paying his taxes is obviously a patriotic protest against socialism

/Republican logic off

[trayfoot]

5. It's the shame of the MSM to divulge this info -IMHO!

[Blue Diadem]

11. It was all public record. Besides, an Oregon radio station raised the money

for his taxes and his fee for taking the plumbing license test and donated it to him.

[Muttocracy]

6. was Joe the P the first in this round to say "socialism!!!!111" ?

[baldguy]

7. Because he represents Republicans so well.

He's a criminal, a liar and full of arrogant ignorance.

[pdxmom]

9. Palin mocks Joe Biden for saying that he thinks paying taxes is

patriotic, so obviously Palin thinks not paying taxes is what proves ones patriotism.

[yorkie]

10. And what would have happened to the Dems..

if we had someone we trotted out who owed $1 to the gov-we would be anti-Americans!
How crazy is this?
Please let this country wake up and smell the coffee!!

[Raine]

12. He's DESPERATE and he's an IDIOT

can't be any other explanation. :shrug:

[TomClash]

13. Owing taxes and not paying is a Repuke creed nt

[opihimoimoi]

14. The ROLE MODEL???? WTF???

[Chloroplast]

15. JTP & McCain are peas in a pod: both owe back taxes.

[rasputin1952]

16. Some "Socialist" R bailed him out...

JtP was nothing before this round-up of insanity, and he'll be nothing when this election is over.

Looked to me like he had a pretty expensive Dodge Ram during his "interviews", I wonder if some wealthy RWnut paid that off too?

So much for personal responsibility and "pulling up one by their bootstraps"...x(

Let's not forget the "re-distribution of wealth" in Alaska either. Oil companies pay an additional fee, so that every man, woman and child in AK can get a $1200 bonus...for doing nothing other than sitting around in AK...must be nice hanging around these "elite Socialists"...:eyes:

These people are beyond pathetic.

[complain jane]

17. These idiots

They're celebrating an ethically-challenged incompetent liar and a tax-dodging liar.

Great.

America first?

[Motown_Johnny]

18. #1 anytime he can say the word "taxes" he thinks he is winning .

#2 I think he got wind of Obama's theme in his half hour TV buy and decided to try and step on it with his own "American Story" and it was joe the fuck head

#3 morals don't count, these are republicans we are talking about

[jillan]

19. And what's even funnier (or not) is that he owes back taxes in

ARIZONA!

[FrenchieCat]

20. Cause the media ain't doing their fucking job,

that's why.

[LynnTheDem]

21. It makes perfect sense...for rightwingnuts. His name isn't Joe, he isn't

a plumber, he's a proven and admitted liar, andhe's publicly admitted that Obama's tax plan is better for him than McCains...but he's dumb enough to vote against his own best interests.

He is a fraud.

And one of the stupidest MFers on the planet.
