Joe the Plumber Finally Endorses

Joe the “I can’t believe he isn’t” Plumber is John McCain’s role model? He is an American hero? I wonder what his buddies from the POW camp think about that. Or his fellow Republican Senators. Or his father.

Hey Slam Dunc,
It seems you’ve already seen the tape. So why do you want it released by the LA Times?

We should all admire “Joe the Plumber.” He’s a role model if ever there was one: he owes the US government back taxes, he has a lien against him for unpaid bills, he is not a licensed plumber. He is worth admiring…he’s a republican.

Obama stills owes the GOVERNMENT for unpaid parking tickets while attending his college learning how to slip under the radar as a TERRORIST. Obama probably owes a lot more than that too.

When will JTP go away !!!!

I opposed the WAR and if alive during the civil war i would of opposed that to. DID YOU KNOW THE LARGEST ANTI WAR PROTEST WAS PROTESTING THE CIVIL WAR

Joe — you may soon realize your mistake. McCain is for the elite.

You can choose who you want to listen to and who you want to vote for. But Im voting for Andy Griffiths’ candidate. Its hard to find a more revered and loved American than Andy Griffith. When I think of a true American I think of him. Andy Griffith stands for truth and wisdom, and has been considered a faithful veteran, and someone who would never support communism. Andy grew up when the world was under attack by nationalism, and then he was a part of our national fight against communism. Often during his show, The Andy Griffith Show he would teach us lessons on right and wrong, and what the true American way is. His son in the show, famed director Ron Howard is also considered an American icon, and someone you can trust to do the right thing for America. Ron and Andy have put their support behind Barack Obama for President, because they believe he represents the BEST for America. They would NEVER support someone who didnt love this country as much as they do, nor would they support someone who was a threat to us all. Lets all be like Andy Griffith and vote for Barack Obama! Lets make America the America that Andy Griffith believes in! Obama/Biden, as American as apple pie!

the republicans sure do know how to trick broke whites into feeling guilty about recieving a tax break…..and then taking a piece of white trash like Joe I’m not the Plumber “plumber” and trying to pusdh him as a national icon……..well the guy begging for coins on the freeway will influence my vote before this opportunist………I smell crap…….Joe may wanna get back to work…….i am a white man

We are still waiting for more on the kinship of Joe the Plumber to the family of Charles Keating, of the Keating Five. Wurzelbacher is a very common name, right?

TJ, The Clintonite, Hey, the caps-lock button is that one on the left there, why dont you use it and type like a civilized human being? Why do you think your rants will be read just because you type in all caps? Maybe you think that makes your opinion more valid? We just all think your an idiot that doesnt know where the caps-lock button is.

Mr. Obama is a very calculating man. He used 4 millions last night for an informercial, pitching himself as a product, masking that product as “made in America”. Like all Exercise machine informercials, they are out to get your money and your votes. If you listen to Obama last night, it seems he’s very concerned for all Americans, but when you analyze his pitch carefully and more detail with cross references, then you find out that he’s a hideous politician pitching only to those voters in battleground states. Mr. Obama, no matter what he is or does from now on, is known as a serial liar.

Country folk….don’t hate the great messenger.

young_voter…..just shut up and vote for your old McCain. I’m glad you can spell calculate. I bet Sarah Drag Palin doesn’t even know what that means?
OBAMA-BIDEN FOR AMERICA…..NOV. 4, ’08!

Wow, Joe who is really not a plumber, and does not have 250,000. to buy any business endorses McCain. What a surprise. I refuse to think that Americans are that gullible to believe that Joe (a.k.a) the plumber was going to endorse Obama. Republicans are the most racist, self righteous, hypocritical and vile bunch of people. McCain and Pailin has the audacity to say Obama is running the dirtiest campaign. Is she really serious, and I guess McCain is only running a very positive campaign. Even several Republicans has spoken out about how negative his campaign is, including Karl Rove. The architect of Bush’s campaign.

What is even better Obama getting untraceable overseas donations and Obama attending closed door meetings with PLO Terrorists

What do i care about a working man like Joe the Plumber. Obama will tax him to take care of me. Obama and his lies about not taxing anybody else is just that ALL LIES

Thought Democrats were registering dead people than suing people when they question why they need ID’s to vote so a person cannot vote multiple times using a DEAD persons name

WHY did the LA TIMES released TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED Information to the world that jeopardized the security of the country BUT THEY WILL NOT RELEASE THE VIDEO OF OBAMA ATTENDING SECRET MEETINGS WITH PLO TERRORISTS sounds like they are hiding something for someone they endorsed

Joe is a strong Republican. He voted in the Republican primary. Only strong partisans vote in the primaries. Undecideds largely NEVER vote in primaries, it’s a reveal preference. I’m glad he’s sticking up for his ideology, but he’s not being truthful.

A guy not paying tax and work without license. I thought Republicans are against illegal immigrants?

WHY did the LA TIMES released TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED Information to the world that jeopardized the security of the country BUT THEY WILL NOT RELEASE THE VIDEO OF OBAMA ATTENDING SECRET MEETINGS WITH PLO TERRORISTS sounds like they are hiding something for someone they endorsed

This is such enormous news, I’m sure Obama/Biden are heartbroken. He was so neutral.
(He’ll STILL get a tax break, whether he likes it or not).

Since you want to talk about RACISM – I’d love to hear your views on what you think could happen if Obama wins the election?

RGeier: No thanks! The Democrats are not going to take the neo-cons. If you want to save your Republican Party you better work fast. It’s looking like you’re going to get stuck with Palin for years and years the way they’re trying to set it up now.

Dude, pay your taxes.

khatts98178, first of all there was not secret meeting, but a going away party. And second, During the 1990s, while John McCain served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

call it anything you want to but the 5% having 85% of the wealth must come to an end—-there has to be more opportunity for the rest of us–the plumber guy is just a mccain troll and will never pay higher taxes—-40 thousand is about right for his pay scale—known as common labor–or in union circles a scab.

DON’T BE A PAWN! Obama’s policies have been TRIED and FAILED. Creating a welfare nation is not going to work. And Universal Healthcare is sssssp – inhale now – a pipe dream. CONSIDER THIS: Incredibly, we have no definitive explanation of why a global financial crisis suddenly materialized just six weeks before U.S. elections. IF SUBPRIME loans hadn’t happened in the FIRST place there wouldn’t have been PRODUCT to bundle, sell and mutilate. DEMOCRATS headed the FINANCE committees that fought reform. The CRA was “revised” during Clinton’s reign leading to SubPrime abuses—which ultimately ABUSED low-income people. (That’s right, they keep you weak and dependent!)

Update America:
We like those Obama supporters quotes from the bible. They think Jesus says to spread the wealth.
Apart from salvation, there is perhaps a way that the concept “God helps those who help themselves” is correct. As an example, if you asked me to help you move a piece of furniture, but then just watched me as I moved the furniture for you, I was not actually helping you. I would be doing the work for you. Many Christians fall into the trap of inactivity. Many Christians ask God for help, but then expect God to do everything Himself. They excuse this by pointing to the fact that God will provide according to His will and in His timing. However, this is not a reason for inactivity. As a specific example, if you are in need of a job, ask the Lord to help you find a job – but then be active in actually looking for a job. While it is in His power to do so, it is highly unlikely that God will cause employers to come looking for you!
Christians fall into the trap of inactivity. Sounds like Obama supporters waiting to share the wealth.

A great display of ethics by Obama! More deception with smoke and mirrors ABC News Did Not Report This:
Obama’s Hawaii Trips Cost More Than Palin’s Clothes
By: Ronald Kess
Barack Obama’s trips to Hawaii on a chartered Boeing 757 each cost more than twice the price of Sarah Palin’s new clothes.
Brad Blakeman, who was in charge of scheduling for President Bush, says a Boeing 757 costs about $20,000 an hour for fuel, crew, and maintenance. Since a trip to Hawaii entails 10 hours of flying time from Chicago, the total cost for each round-trip comes to about $400,000.
Obama used the Boeing 757 for trips to Hawaii over the summer for a vacation and again last week to see his failing grandmother. Admirable though that visit was, “By Obama using a private jet to go on a purely personal visit to see his grandma, he’s wasting not only energy, but he’s using the money that his supporters have given him for campaign purposes,” Blakeman says. “It’s a purely personal visit paid for with campaign funds.”
On the other hand, the media are highlighting the Republican National Committee’s purchase of $150,000 in clothes for Palin, even though the dresses will be donated to charities. The New York Times played the story on page one.
“They’re picking on Palin, who was provided a wardrobe by the RNC strictly for political purposes, and it was always intended that these garments would be then given to charity,” Blakeman says. “So there’s a benefit that’s going to charity, not a benefit that Palin will have after the election. There was a need for it because she’s a modest person who didn’t have an extensive wardrobe to do 24/7 campaigning.”
To pick on Palin without going after Obama’s plane trips is “an absolute journalistic abuse,” Blakeman says. “This is the same plane that he took to Hawaii when he went on vacation. In the summertime, when gas was soaring and Americans were having to pinch their pennies, this guy gets on his campaign plane and goes to Hawaii on vacation. He did a couple campaign stops in a state that is not a swing state and is a guaranteed win for Obama. That was clearly to cover the tracks of this vacation.”
Blakeman notes that at the height of the gasoline price surge, Obama suggested that Americans check their vehicle’s tire pressure as a way of conserving fuel.
“I wonder if he checked the tires on his jumbo jet before taking off for a purely personal visit?” Blakeman says. “The way he spends campaign money is a direct reflection of how he will spend ours. He could have easily flown commercial or taken a much smaller corporate aircraft that would cost a fraction of a 757.”
Ironically, it was Palin as governor who saved money for Alaskans by selling the state’s jet and instead flying commercial.
Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected Republican pollsters, says the media’s attack on Palin’s clothes is an example of elitist snobbery or “classism.” Noting the media’s treatment of her, “I can’t believe her own family still approves of her, after the unprecedented, personal and relentless attacks that this woman has undergone,” Conway says.
Besides attacks on Palin over her clothes, Conway cites snide remarks about “the way she speaks, her husband’s lack of a college degree, the barefoot and pregnant 17-year-old daughter, you know who hunts moose anyway? The classism is so raw and unapologetic, so unconsidered and so undisguised.”

Update America:
To All You Liberal Property Owners.
What does spreading the wealth really mean? Not only tax credits as most of you think but it will also include Condemnation, the taking of property under Eminent Domain sometimes with appropriate compensation.
The majority opinion in the Supreme Court case involving New London, Conn., limited the homeowners’ rights by saying local governments could take private property for economic-development-related projects because the motive was to bring more jobs and tax revenue to a city. Moreover, the federal government may use land that is considered for the good of the general public.
How does it work? Charlie, no property owner, is included in a federal land project that supports giving owned land (property) to those persons the federal government considers qualified to own land. Joe the land owner has 24,000 square feet of land on which Joe the land owner only uses 12,000 square feet for housing. The federal government in its share the wealth program condemns half of Joe the land owner’s owned land and gives him a tax credit as just compensation for the land. The local government sub-divides the property into two lots. The half that was condemned is now titled to the new owner, Charlie no property owner, who is now Joe the land owner.
Condemnation can apply to Joe the land owner with large acreage. The federal government in its share the wealth program condemns 10 acres of Joe the land owner and gives a tax credit as just compensation. The local government zones the property as residential and sub-divides the land into housing lots. Charlie, no property owner, is selected to receive a lot to build a house.
Wake up America your rights are melting away by the way of socialism.
No Obama share the wealth programs for those in the know.

-And none of us are going to believe McCain supporters without any credentials.

The bad thing about Joe is that McCain’s campaign is going to use him and then toss him aside. His life is over as he knows it. Keep an eye on Joe after the election. See what happens to him. Obama and McCain will do he same to you if you give them the chance. They both have their own set of special interests that they cater to and you are not one of them.

Update America:
Socialism is a tricky thing to define since many types exist. Some modern countries that are called socialist really refer to a few aspects of the country. For instance, most government-controlled health care is labeled “social medicine.” There are many countries with such health care plans, which are paid for usually through higher taxation of the people. Such countries don’t necessarily eliminate or dismantle class structure, or advocate rebellion toward the ruling class.

Finally! Joe the Annointed Plumber has made his decision known to the world! Now I can sleep at night! I can’t wait for more of his analysis of the geopolitical realities of the middle east, or his take on global financial policy. I’m sure we’ll see a Frau Palin/JTP republican ticket in 2012. Now THAT will be a fearsome thing! The sad thing about McCain saying that Joe is his role model is that I think he means it.

“as the bald unliscenced plumber took the stage.”
That petty, pathetic comment is a perfect example of why the media has lost it’s credibility and relevancy this election.

McCain, Joe Plumber, Palin are birds of a feather.

“as the bald unliscenced plumber took the stage.”
Yeah, that is pretty lame. The news media, both the so-called “MSM” and the likes of Fox and MSNBC are money-making entities. They make money by attracting consumers of their product. They do so by pandering to their target base. They’re only marginally interested in reporting hard news. They’re all in the entertainment business.

SHOCK – Ayers DEDICATED BOOK to assassin of ROBERT F KENNEDY.
I find this real hard to believe. Can you provide a link to the source of the info? I couldn’t care less about Ayers the washed up hippie but, having lived during that time, I would think that Ayers would have been a supporter of Bobby.

America as you have known it is over.
The era of Obama has begun.
Seriously people. Do you really think that one man has the ability to turn the country into a socialist/communist state? First of all, where would the federal government get the resources to acquire all of the private enterprises in the US? I guess they could continue to borrow the money from China and Russia like Bush did but I think we’ve about maxed out our credit card with them. Then there’s this pesky document called the US Constitution. Even though Bush doesn’t pay much attention to it the rest of us do and it kinda prohibits the federal government from doing these things. The boring truth here is that neither McCain nor Obama will destroy the US if elected. Obama isn’t a Muslim, communist, anti-Christ. McCain isn’t Bush nor the reincarnation of Hitler. (Sarah Palin is another matter altogther).
It’s time to turn off the radio and think for yourselves.

Joe now is Mccain’s chief economic advisor! Palin-Joe the Plumber 2012! My sides hurt laughing!

Chris in Texas- The book written by Ayers and his lovely terrorist wife was written in 1974-hannity obtained a copy of it, and it is dedicated to sirhan sirhan as well as other despictable-hateful people. Nice friends that Obama has don’t you think?

“Governor Sarah Palin does not practice socialism by sharing tax money with the Alaskan taxpayers from win-fall big oil profits”
LOL! And just what are “windfall profit taxes”? Too funny!
Frau Palin raised taxes on oil companies doing business in Alaska, thereby reducing the net income of said oil companies, thereby taking money out of the pockets of the stockholders of said companies. She then redistributed the money she collected to the welfare kings and queens in Alaska. If that isn’t “socialism” I don’t know what is. What a crock!

“Governor Sarah Palin does not practice socialism by sharing tax money with the Alaskan taxpayers from win-fall big oil profits”
This is just too funny for words. And just what are taxes on “windfall profits”? LOL.
Let’s look at what Frau Palin actually did. She raised taxes on oil companies doing business in Alaska, thereby reducing the net income of said companies, thereby taking money out of the pockets of the stockholders of said comopanies. She then took her ill-gotten gains and redistributed them to the welfare kings and queens in Alaska. If that isn’t socialism I don’t know what is. What a crock.

Just saying that Hannity has a copy of it doesn’t count as a reference. Can you tell me the title of the book so I can look it up and see the dedication myself? Forgive me for not taking Hannity’s word for it. He seems to be a bit biased at times. :-)

Media bias? read the story.
The writer calls McCain supporters “McCainiacs” so why doesn’t he/she refer the Obama supporters as Obamunists or Zobombies, or any number of funny take-offs on Obama’s name?
Maybe because if they did it the Obama campagain would be cut-off, like any media outlet who dares not to worship…maybe it’s not bias – maybe it’s fear.

Pffft Joe the fake plumber….
Who does Ashley Todd the self mutilator endorse? Now that is a more important question LOL

Update America:
Rhetoric: Industry says it is investing heavily in renewable and alternative technology. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has claimed that, “In North America over the last five years, the oil and gas industry has invested almost $100 billion on renewable, alternative and advanced emerging energy technologies.” (API letter to Members of Congress, 3/30/07)
Reality: Industry is hardly investing in renewable, non-petroleum energy. When the industry breaks down investment in what it terms “renewable, alternative and advanced emerging energy technologies,” very little of the $98 billion spent on these technologies was invested in renewable or alternative energy sources. Only $1.2 billion of the $98 billion advertised by the industry as investment in renewables and alternatives was actually spent on renewable sources of energy between 2000 and 2005. This funding was not spent on renewable fuels but on production of electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and landfill gas. (American Petroleum Institute, “Facts on Fuel”)
The oil and gas industry has invested heavily ($86 billion over five years) in refining heavier sources of petroleum, including tar and oil sands and oil shale, and on turning waste and residue hydrocarbons into usable products. The industry has also modestly invested ($11 billion) in combined heat and power and vehicle fuel efficiency technologies.
The amount invested in the next generation of energy is a tiny fraction of investment and an even smaller fraction of industry profits that could be invested in clean technologies.
When asked to provide their companies’ investment in non-petroleum energy supply and production during a November 2005 hearing, the CEOs of the five largest oil companies reported little investment. Exxon reported investing a “negligible amount” in non-petroleum energy, and ChevronTexaco included coal and natural gas investments in its tally. (ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco responses to Questions from the Record of Joint Committee Hearing regarding Energy Pricing and Profits, Senate Energy and Natural Resources and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees, 11/9/05)
Both public and private investment in energy R&D have declined. Investment in energy research and development has been steadily falling despite rising geopolitical, environmental, and economic risks of dependence on oil. Investments in energy R&D by U.S. companies fell by 50 percent between 1991 and 2003. Total private sector energy R&D is less than the R&D budgets of individual biotech companies. Since the mid-1990s, both public and private sector R&D spending has been stagnant for renewable energy and energy efficiency. (Daniel M. Kammen and Gregory F. Nemet, “Reversing the Incredible Shrinking Energy R&D Budget,” Issues in Science and Technology, Fall 2005)
Big Oil is an “obstacle” to alternative fuel stations. Big oil companies are using their market power to discourage service stations from stocking or offering E85 fuel and to create rules that make it difficult for consumers to compare prices for, fill up with, or purchase E85. Exxon Mobil and BP require their franchised stations to buy fuel exclusively from them, and neither company offers E85. Station owners must apply for exceptions to purchase E85. ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips require an E85 pump to be set away from the other pumps and do not allow stations to list E85 on their primary sign listing fuel prices. Chevron recommends that stations install new storage tanks and pumps worth about $200,000 at their own expense to offer E85, rather than using existing tanks and pumps. BP will not allow its franchised stations to offer payment by credit card at E85 pumps. (Wall Street Journal, 4/2/07)
Big Oil Tells Alternative Technology To Go to Hell While Reaping Big Profits for Share Holders and Obama Agrees. Governor Sarah Palin’s big oil tax in Alaska was created by wind-fall PROFITS of big oil. The taxpayers in Alaska make big oil pay for their lack of concern for alternative technologies and overcharging the taxpayers. The Alaskan tax on big oil wind-fall profits is a fine (cash paid as punishment) for profiteering.

(ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco responses to Questions from the Record of Joint Committee Hearing regarding Energy Pricing and Profits, Senate Energy and Natural Resources and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees, 11/9/05)
Both public and private investment in energy R&D have declined. Investment in energy research and development has been steadily falling despite rising geopolitical, environmental, and economic risks of dependence on oil. Investments in energy R&D by U.S. companies fell by 50 percent between 1991 and 2003. Total private sector energy R&D is less than the R&D budgets of individual biotech companies. Since the mid-1990s, both public and private sector R&D spending has been stagnant for renewable energy and energy efficiency. (Daniel M. Kammen and Gregory F. Nemet, “Reversing the Incredible Shrinking Energy R&D Budget,” Issues in Science and Technology, Fall 2005)
Big Oil is an “obstacle” to alternative fuel stations. Big oil companies are using their market power to discourage service stations from stocking or offering E85 fuel and to create rules that make it difficult for consumers to compare prices for, fill up with, or purchase E85. Exxon Mobil and BP require their franchised stations to buy fuel exclusively from them, and neither company offers E85. Station owners must apply for exceptions to purchase E85. ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips require an E85 pump to be set away from the other pumps and do not allow stations to list E85 on their primary sign listing fuel prices. Chevron recommends that stations install new storage tanks and pumps worth about $200,000 at their own expense to offer E85, rather than using existing tanks and pumps. BP will not allow its franchised stations to offer payment by credit card at E85 pumps. (Wall Street Journal, 4/2/07)
Big Oil Tells Alternative Technology To Go to Hell While Reaping Big Profits for Share Holders and Obama Agrees. Governor Sarah Palin’s big oil tax in Alaska was created by wind-fall PROFITS of big oil. The taxpayers in Alaska make big oil pay for their lack of concern for alternative technologies and overcharging the taxpayers. The Alaskan tax on big oil wind-fall profits is a fine (cash paid as punishment) for profiteering.

Joe The Plumber,
I don’t think people who fail to pay their federal income taxes should be allowed to vote.

Joe,
Is that book deal going to put you in the 250K+ tax bracket?

“We are still waiting for more on the kinship of Joe the Plumber to the family of Charles Keating, of the Keating Five. Wurzelbacher is a very common name, right?”
Right. Let’s see if I can follow your logic(?). Charles Keating had one of his distant relatives secretly move into Joe’s house years ago knowing, all those years in advance, that in 2008 The Stuttering Stooge would be stupid enough to interrupt him playing catch with his son just so The Stuttering Stooge could try manipulate a photo op with an average, working class schmo only to have it blow up in The Stuttering Stooge’s face. (Maybe it was Rove, instead, huh?) Really, man. See a therapist, soon. Oh, BTW, McCain was the only person cleared in the Keating Five deal. So you might want to bury that bone along with your mania.

“We should all admire “Joe the Plumber.” He’s a role model if ever there was one: he owes the US government back taxes, he has a lien against him for unpaid bills, he is not a licensed plumber. He is worth admiring…he’s a republican.”
See? That’s why McCain keeps him out in the spotlight – because he attracts flies like you and that Ohio state employee who began running all kinds of checks on the guy, in violation of his rights.
In turn, the people have someone to rally around and support as the Obama camp and Big Brother try to tear him down.
And that’s what makes Joe the Plumber a hero. He speaks truth to power at great risk of personal harm.

Dear Cliff,
Joe a “hero”? It that like Palin the “Maverick”? LOL McCain campaign is desperate. Selecting Palin took them out of the race. The American people have had enough of these clowns. Next tues they will speak loud and clear

The New York Post loves McCain and always slams Obama. Absolutely I agree that there is media bias!

Joe is not a bald ,unlicensed plumber! He’s shaved! There’s a difference!

– If McCain had anything questionable like that in his past, –
Doubtful that it would come out of the Obama campaign, who has maintained the high road and not tried to drag guilt by association smear tactics into the fray.
Of course, there are many, many more questionable and direct associations that McCain has over his past 26 years in Congress, including ties with Obama Bin Laden himself when he was ‘our friend’. Those who have researched his career know full well what they are, the atrocities that were committed with his blessings, and what they implicate in terms of judgment and character.
Of course, just the fact that McCain cannot defend his own platform speaks volumes about how he in no way puts country first and is simply in the race to win at any cost. Just look at his ‘honorable’ campaign is and how even fellow friends and former allies are now trying to distance themselves.
Sure, the straight line GOP zealots would rather look the other way, and the rest of the Anti-Obama crowd is just drooling at the mouth trying to find anything to justify their positions and keep from shattering their world view, regardless of how tenuous or absurd.
That is the way in politics for many. Fortunately, for many others, we look at what each candidate represents for the future of this great country and what direction it will take us. McCain would have us continue down that same road to eventual destruction. His does not differ in any significant way from Bush or his policy stance. His tax plan is just a continuation of a tried and failed trickle down plan that has never worked in our nations history and for the last 8 years has led us into recession. His health plan would be a disaster for a nation that is now in the middle of a health crisis, resulting in even more Americans losing coverage. His foreign policy stance would continue us along our existing path of isolation and unilateral decision making policies. His energy policy would simply lengthen our reliance on oil and dump even more money into an infrastructure that we so desperately need to get away from. His short fuse and knee-jerk reactionary persona would put or national security at risk and overburden our already taxed military forces. Maybe back in 2000, when the economy was good, we had a balanced budget and were at peace. But not now.. we cannot afford it.
Obama – for the future of America.

Subject: FW: A letter from Ilinois
Dear Friends:
My name is Joe Porter. I live in Champaign , Illinois .. I’m 46 years old, a born-again Christian, a husband, a father, a small business owner, a veteran, and a homeowner. I don’t consider myself to be either conservative or liberal, and I vote for the person, not Republican or Democrat. I don’t believe there are ‘two Americas ‘ but that every person in this country can be whomever and whatever they want to be if they’ll just work to get there and nowhere else on earth can they find such opportunities. I believe our government should help those who are legitimately downtrodden, and should always put the interests of America first.
The purpose of this message is that I’m concerned about the future of this great nation. I’m worried that the silent majority of honest, hard-working, tax-paying people in this country have been passive for too long. Most folks I know choose not to involve themselves in politics. They go about their daily lives, paying their bills, raising their kids, and doing what they can to maintain the good life. They vote and consider doing so to be a sacred trust. They shake their heads at the political pundits and so-called ‘news’, thinking that what they hear is always spun by whomever is report ing it. They can’t understand how elected officials can regularly violate the public trust with pork barrel spending. They don’t want government handouts. They want the government to protect them, not raise their taxes for more government programs.
We are in the unique position in this country of electing our leaders. It’s a privilege to do so. I’ve never found a candidate in any election with whom I agreed on everything. I’ll wager that most of us don’t even agree with our families or spouses 100% of the time. So when I step into that voting booth, I always try to look at the big picture and cast my vote for the man or woman who is best qualified for the job. I’ve hired a lot of people in my lifetime, and essentially that’s what an election is – a hiring process. Who has the credentials? Whom do I want working for me? Whom can I trust to do the job right?
I’m concerned that a growing number of voters in this country simply don’t get it. They are caught up in a fervor they can’t explain, and calling it ‘change’.
‘Change what?’, I ask.
‘Well, we’re going to change America ‘, they say.
&nb sp; ‘In what way?’, I query.
‘We want someone new and fresh in the White House’, they exclaim.
‘So, someone who’s not a politician?’, I say.
‘Uh, well, no, we just want a lot of stuff changed, so we’re voting for Obama’, they state.
‘So the current system, the system of freedom and democracy that has enabled a man to grow up in this great country, get a fine education, raise incredible amounts of money and dominate the news, and win his party’s nomination for the White House that system’s all wrong?’
‘No, no, that part of the system’s okay we just need a lot of change.’
And so it goes. ‘Change we can believe in.’
Quite frankly, I don’t believe that vague proclamations of change hold any promise for me. In recent months, I’ve been asking virtually everyone I encounter how they’re voting. I live in Illinois , so most folks tell me they’re voting for Barack Obama. But no one can really tell me why only that he’s going to change a lot of stuff ‘Change, change, change.’ I have yet to find one single person who can tell me distinctly and convincingly why this man is qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation on earth other than the fact that he claims he’s going to implement a lot of change.
We’ve all seen the emails about Obama’s genealogy, his upbringing, his Muslim background, and his church affiliations.. Let’s ignore this for a moment. Put it all aside. Then ask yourself, ‘What qualifies this man to be my president? That he’s a brilliant orator and talks about change?’
CHANGE WHAT?
Friends, I’ll be forthright with you I believe the American voters who are supporting Barack Obama don’t have a clue what they’re doing, as evidenced by the fact that not one of them – NOT ONE of them I’ve spoken to can spell out his qualifications. Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected. Political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven’t read his wife’s thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web. This is who’s lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obam a’s constant harping about change is that we’re in for a lot of new taxes.
For me, the choice is clear. I’ve looked carefully at the two leading applicants for the job, and I’ve made my choice.
Here’s a question – ‘Where were you five and a half years ago? Around Christmas, 2002. You’ve had five or six birthdays in that time. My son has grown from a sixth grade child to a high school graduate. Five and a half years is a good chunk of time. About 2,000 days. 2,000 nights of sleep. 6, 000 meals, give or take.’
John McCain spent that amount of time, from 1967 to 1973, in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.
When offered early release, he refused it. He considered this offer to be a public relations stunt by his captors, and insisted that those held longer than he should be released first. Did you get that part? He was offered his freedom, and he turned it down. A regimen of beatings and torture began.
Do you possess such strength of character? Locked in a filthy cell in a foreign country, would you turn down your own fr eedom in favor of your fellow man? I submit that’s a quality of character that is rarely found, and for me, this singular act defines John McCain.
Unlike several presidential candidates in recent years whose military service is questionable or non-existent, you will not find anyone to denigrate the integrity and moral courage of this man. A graduate of Annapolis, during his Naval service he received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. His own son is now serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq . Barack Obama is fond of saying ‘We honor John McCain’s service….BUT…’, which to me is condescending and offensive – because what I hear is, ‘Let’s forget this man’s sacrifice for his country, and his proven leadership abilities, and talk some more about change.’
I don’t agree with John McCain on everything – but I am utterly convinced that he is qualified to be our next President, and I trust him to do what’s right. I know in my heart that he has the best interests of our country in mind. He doesn’t simply want to be President – he wants to lead America , and there’s a huge difference. Factually, there is simply no comparison between the two candidates. A man of questionable background and motives who prattles on about change, can’t hold a candle to a man who has devoted his life in public service to this nation, retiring from the Navy in1981 and elected to the Senate in1982.
Perhaps Obama’s supporters are taking a stance between old and new. Maybe they don’t care about McCain’s service or his strength of character, or his unblemished qualifications to be President. Maybe ‘likeability’ is a higher priority for them than ‘trust’. Being a prisoner of war is not what qualifies John McCain to be President of the United States of America – but his demonstrated leadership certainly DOES.
Dear friends, it is time for us to stand. It is time for thinking Americans to say, ‘Enough.’ It is time for people of all parties to stop following the party line. It is time for anyone who wants to keep America first, who wants the right man leading their nation, to start a dialogue with all their friends and neighbors and ask who they’re votin g for, and why.
There’s a lot of evil in this world. That should be readily apparent to all of us by now. And when faced with that evil as we are now, I want a man who knows the cost of war on his troops and on his citizens. I want a man who puts my family’s interests before any foreign country.
I want a President who’s qualified to lead.
I want my country back, and I’m voting for John McCain.

Which unliscenced [sic] jackass wrote this blurb? Maybe if you had a journalism license you would know all professionals do a spell-check before they publish.

… as the bald unliscenced plumber took the stage.
Bald and “unlicenced?”
Not even a HINT of objectivity.
How proud your journalism professors must be?

This is typical Lib-spin, calling Joe the Plumber “unlicensed” – because in his locality, he is not REQUIRED to be licensed.
I suppose we could point out that this entry was written by an “unlicensed journalist.” Oooooooooh! The scandal. He’s an unlicensed journalist!
But that doesn’t make much sense either, as there is no requirement that he be licensed either.

The Big money problem !!
OR the big CRASH the fanny may the hole thing is a car the DEVILCRATS run the wheels off because of Bill Clinton instructing His staff Janet Reno to prossicute banks for NOT MAKING BAD LOANS ON HOMES TO WELFARE or unemployed or undocumented people
This has been a cash cow for investers since OLeBilly dun it to us in a long range plan by his party to scam more money out of the goverment using this plan.
Funny how this finacial mess had the wheels fall off at election time so the DEVILCRATs could use it to try to win the election along with all of there other dirty tricks ( public funded ACORN )
BUT HERE IS MY POINT.
IF THIS FINACIAL MESS WAS CAUSED BY A REPUBLICAN THEN THAT WOULD BE THE BIG NEWS EVENT THIS WHOLE TIME. SO SINCE THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THIS PROVES THAT THE devilcrats HAVE THERE HANDS ALL OVER IT.
SO IF O-BIG-LIE OBAMA IS ELECTED HE WILL COVER ALL THIS UP AND INSURE FUNDING FOR acorn FOR THE NEXT PUBLIC ELECTION THAT THE DEVILCRATS HAVE IN THERE SITES
The local economey here in my town we cannot afford the new inflated home prices caused by this deseption. We just dont make that kind of money to fund the payment so say so long to the dream of owning a home in this area. I am sure this all over our raped nation in areas.
Vote for Change
vote McCain/Palin to save what is left

More like Joe the Azzewhole!

Bottom Groove, it’s sad to know that you actually believe all of the trash and BS that McCain and the rest of the Republicans are putting out there. But then again I forgot you must be a Republican. Oh I forgot Bush is your idol. A President that got us in a war based on lies, invasion of people’s privacy. America’s standing in the world is at it’s lowest it has ever been. The economy is in a mess. Home foreclosures, millions loosing there jobs, 401k retirement are being depleted. Billions sepent on Iraq. But I guess you must be one of the few wealthy. You Republicans are such self righteous, vile hypocrites it amazes me.

Oops! Everyone that likes to point out Joe’s flaws should read this.

Tonight the crowd chanted “Joe the Plumber, Joe the Plumber, Joe the Plumber” as the bald unliscenced plumber took the stage. I f that doesnt say it all Media Bias You have to be kidding me Hey can you intoduce Barack as the unqualified black presidential canidate????

Weren’t the watergate burglars called “plumbers”?

A major middle eastern newspaper just came out with a report that data and images found on a laptop computer, captured by Special Ops in Afghanistan, clearly indicate that Barack Obama was at one time seen at an Al-Quaeda training camp. During the enhancement procedure of the images, they conclude that with 99.9% certainty, one of the people shows Barack Obama. They can’t place the location (other than it is in Afghanistan and a camp)and can’t say for sure the date of when the picture was taken, but they estimate that it was some time between 1998 and 2000.

A) I don’t care.
B) Like there was ever a doubt
C) I refer you back to answer A.
Can this guy please fade away now?

Yes lets talk about how OBAMA called the CLINTONS Racist.
Obama will take away all you freedom by pulling out his RACE CARD to anybody who opposes him. ANd the MEDIA will love him for it
NBC=Nothing but Barack Channel, ABC=All Barack Chanell, and CBS=Cheering for BARACK Station
Posted by: Nicki | Oct 30, 2008 8:03:43 PM
Please show me where Obama ever said this. I voted for Hillary, but I don’t remember him ever coming out and saying that.

“Real Americans” don’t use the term “Real American” only for people who look and think like they do.

How come everyone puts down Joe the Plumber???
Did he ask the wrong question or did he get the wrong answer????

slam ducn said: “LA TIMES will not release a video showing Obama closed door meeting with RICH TERRORISTS praising PLO terrorist and then turning around calling ISRAEL the terrorist.”
Did you know an organization McCain chairs actually donated $448,000 to the very same PLO “terrorist” you speak of !
