DRAMA!!! Joe t Plumber Now BAD MOUTHING McCain!!!!

Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”

Recalling a conversation he had with McCain about the $700 billion financial industry bailout in September, Wurzelbacher said: “When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen.”

“I asked him some pretty direct questions,” he continued. “Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”


I'll be happy to provide the link to anyone who would like it

The guy was one of the weirdest phenom's of the whole campaign. I mean, he had a somewhat shady past, he asks Obama a question that was based on half truths about him purchasing the business, Obama's tax plan will actually help him out, he ends up on a campaign tour with McCain anyway, and now he decides to trash John McCain.

I hope the guy fades into the background and goes back to plumbing. His opinions on national politics doesn't mean a hoot to me.

He didn't drink the Kool Ade Ferd. If there were any two people that threatened the Bush haters in the election it was Palin and Joe. So guess who gets the brunt of the personal attacks? Both Palin and Joe got the worst of it in attempt to train the focus away from the issues they raised about Obama to distractions about their personal lives.

Did Joe have some issues personally? Yeah, but he wasn't running for president. Did the issue of "spreading the wealth" that Obama let slip out hurt him in the closing days, sure it did, but it was too much, too little, too late. Guys like Mike would love for guys like Joe to disappear because Joe was right and he exposed Obama for hat he is philosophically: a socialist.

I was pointing to the fact that he had past unpaid taxes.

I'm sure Joe's a good guy and an average hard working American. His surge to public importance in the middle of the most important Presidential election of our lifetime was comical. He's certainly welcome to his opinion, that opinion doesn't strike me as particularly important or newsworthy is all I was saying.

His opinion is about as important and newsworthy as mine would be.

His opinion resonated with average Americans because he asked a simple question, got an honest answer that pulled away the facade of a "centrist" Obama and caused his campaign to do some damage control.

When the mainstream media and Democrat Ohio officials went after him to defame and ruin him, Joe was thrust to national prominence because many people are tired of the political power brokers, the insiders of Washington and the New York media elite acting as if average guys like you and me and Joe should not speak to power, ask tough questions and challenge their pre-anointed, pre-appointed presidential candidates.

What was comical was how an average Joe could raise such a stink to so many important people for a simple question.

You may not care what Joe's opinion is, but I do and so do a lot of other folks.

I care for his opinion. I care more for my own opinion.

Joe may have been average in some ways, but there are just as many folks who don't agree with him as there are those who do.

Judging by the national election, there may be more that don't agree with him.

Either way, it's important to remember there are "avg Joes" of both the liberal and conservative political persuasion.

Re: DRAMA!!! Joe t Plumber Now BAD MOUTHING McCain

Speaking of, anyone catch the bit about the Gov. of Illinois being arrested? It'll be interesting to see if any juicy tidbits about Obama come out with all that mess. Too bad it couldn't have happened before the election. Then again with all the mess that came out about Obama that was true, it's still hard to belive he actually managed to get elected. God have mercy on America.
