Joe The Plumber Enlisted To Campaign Against Employee Free Choice Act
Joe the Plumber is hitting the campaign trail again! He’s been pressed into service to do a series of events throughout Pennsylvania rallying opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act, the organizer of the events confirms.

Mr. Plumber will speak at rallies against the measure in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia on March 30th and 31st, according to a spokesperson for the anti-EFCA group Americans for Prosperity.

“The public loves Joe the Plumber,” the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. “They see him as a role model.”

Asked whether Joe the Plumber had any particular knowledge or expertise about EFCA that might explain the decision to enlist him, Burke said that he was being enlisted to provide a “grassroots perspective” and “the working perspective” on the measure.

Pressed on whether Joe the Plumber has any particular claim to being a spokesperson on the issue, Burke replied that “he represents the American worker.”

Burke couldn’t immediately say whether Joe the Plumber was being paid for his appearances.

[unapatriciated]

18. Joe the Plumber's Helper? eom

[butterfly77]

2. WTF!

When is someone going to challenge this guy? I am so damn sick and tired of seeing him running around trying to get much as he can of his fifteen minutes of fame..I don't know who in the hell he is speaking for but he sure isn't speaking for me as an American worker.

[lunatica]

4. Is he running for President of Idiocracy?

In all seriousness, what's the point of his continued exposure?

[Webster Green]

5. 30% of the U.S. population is suffering from mass psychosis or something.

This is getting really ridiculous. :crazy:

[Catshrink]

7. Who the hell does he think he is? Lech Walsea?

He does not speak for me -- or anyone I know. Who nominated him? Who's supporting him financially? Are we going to see Palin/JTP in '12?

At any rate, it is fun to watch the GOP fall off the proverbial cliff with these two clowns, Rush's mouth, and their vaperware budget.

[Webster Green]

11. "vaperware budget"

Excellent! :rofl:

[Contrary1]

12. He's a paid actor...

He probably doesn't believe half the BS that drips from his mouth.

Hey, it beats working for a living. He's going to be riding this gravy train as long as people are stupid enough to show up.

[Catshrink]

22. Who is paying him?

That is the question for me. An unemployed fake plumber certainly doesn't have the kind of money to travel around the country like he does. Who's behind the curtain?

[Contrary1]

24. I think it is probably whatever group has hired him for his "expertise".

:sarcasm:

In this case it would be Americans For Prosperity. :puke:http://www.americansforprosperity.org/about
Faux news picked up the tab for his short-lived journalism career. McCain/Palin for his appearance at rallies. I suspect they also paid him for his first confrontation with Obama.

The people who are using him at the time foot the expenses, plus some cigarette/beer money for Joe. Kinda like a high class hooker.

[ogneopasno]

8. Joe the Scab can shut the fuck up. He knows NOTHING. A "role model"? Yeah, for scab-ass hangers on,

I guess.

[killbotfactory]

9. Down with the 8-hour day! Down with the 40-hour week! Down with benefits!

Down with safe working conditions!

Up with child labor!

That'll show that union trash who's boss!

[Loge23]

13. Hey Joe, when was the last time you worked??

This guy has parlayed his Republican lap-dog stint into a cottage industry.
Enough. He's an insult to anyone who punches a clock.

[Politicalboi]

14. The Red Neck role model

Who doesn't have a real job. He's talking to the ones that cling to their guns and religion.

[Zenlitened]

15. Future headline: "America's Working Men and Women...

... Stuff 'Joe' Down a Drain-pipe."

:grr:

This guy is the Paris Hilton of political infotainment.

[Gemini Cat]

16. A role model? He represents the working class??

In what fucking right winged universe does this pile of pus represent the working class?

[louis-t]

17. JTP being paid to speak out against his own

interests. :crazy:

[graywarrior]

19. Joe the Right Wing Conservative Whore aka Joe the Loser

[booley]

20. He's my Role Model!

Which is why I now call myself Kevin the Cop..

Even though my name is Rich and I'm a photographer.

I also tell people I make 250,000 dollars a year which minus 230,000 is precisely how much I make. Not that I plan on paying taxes for it anyway.

That will show those Librul EEleets!

[sutz12]

21. Shouldn't you be headed for North Dakota, Joe? I heard they had a leak.

:evilgrin:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Kinda like having David Duke speak-up for African-Americans,.

[jimshoes]

25. He's like a Frenchman for the Aristocracy

or Chickens for Colonel Sanders or Peasants for crappier working conditions. What an asshole. Not to mention the dumbasses that listen to the dumbass. :crazy:
