Obama Responds to McCain Camp Insinuations it Hacked into Joe the Plumber’s Private Files

FIGHT LIES WITH TRUTH!
OBAMA 08

McCain is done. Stick a fork in him. Rally around President Obama, and bring this nation back to greatness!
OBAMA ’08

jake- have you seen Obama’s official “Fight the Smears” web page lately, where they go after Stanley Kurtz?
The Obama campaign doesn’t seem to hesitate to get personal when they disagree with something.
As far as Joe the Plumber, it might have done the Obama campaign some good to speak out against the invasion of his privacy *before* they were asked about it. The Obama campaign has a high tolerance for people they disagree with being smeared, even private citizens that merely asked him a question he answered poorly.

Lee
The Republicans had the chance to put up their evidence they didnt and couldnt so now its time for the to SHUT UP!
see here:
When a reporter told Giuliani he was making some serious insinuations that the Obama campaign was involved in this, the former Mayor responded, “I don’t know if this came from the Obama campaign or not, but I think we have a right to find out. It is curious…”
WEAK

Giuliani is purely evil soul.
I really detest him.
I hope i won’t see him after NOV 4th.

So it is Obama’s fault that McCain’s plant at his rally has been exposed- I think the media did that, Obama didnt have to waste his time. Its not Obama’s fault that “Joe the Plumber” was not a plumber but a contractor- who worked for someone else, not own his own business and makes about 40,000 a year not over 250k. Look there made up reference point in Joe the Plumber flopped b/c they made him up- TRUTH is that this guy Joe in Ohio would benefit more under Obama’s plan than McCain’s!
Just another fumble by McCain…add it to the list.
Obama/Biden 08

by the way, will somebody PLEASE end all this “Joe the Plumber” crap…more like “Joe the Bummer” now…

I had responded yesterday to McCain Campaign charges – claims were ridiculous. Toledo Blade Newspaper had the scoop the next morning. Newspaper organizations were on top of story even Wednesday night, and camped out at Joe The Plumbers House when Joe woke up Thursday morning. McCain Campaign were the ones who were pushing the story. Obama Campaign was not.
So McCain has continued to use and push Joe the Plumber.
Few days ago it was McCain Campaign that pushed story to news media about the hoax story of his campaign worker mutliated by black man. Campaign worker admitted to police she was lying. Whoops McCain attack tool against Obama blew up in their face. McCain Campaign trying to keep quiet it was they would pushed story. This poor lady. I truly hope she gets help. And she faces criminal prosecution now. This did not work
So now McCain Campaign is pushing this new line of attack that is so totally bogus!! Do they actually think we are so ignorant????
And I have all the news articles saved as they came out Thursday am just after final debate.
John McCain shame on you!!!

I GUESS Giuliani DIDNT LIKE OBAMA’S DRAG QUEEN JOKE !!!

McCain camp needs to take lots of Valium an chill for a while. After some rest they might be able to see the light. It is not about fear-mongering. It is about EXAMPLARY leadership.

He forgot to say “9/11″

Ridiculous charges, desperate attacks.
Time to turn the page on this national nightmare.
Obama/Biden ’08

One more pathetic stunt by Mr. McCain and Company.

I think if any one of you that posts on this biased website had your records broached, you would want to find out who did it.
With all the voter fraud connected to Obama and the lies he tells on a daily basis, and with the attacks on Joe the plumber coming from his camp, I would look there first, then at the biased media second.

HH
ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT “JOE THE PLUMBER” CAN BE OBTAINED ONLINE WITH ANY PEOPLE SEARCH WEBSITE.
IF YOU GAVE YOUR FULL NAME WE COULD FIND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!

Another hate inciting lie from the Republican camp. What a shocker.

Giuliani berating Obama on privacy issues?
Giuliani? Who announced to his wife to divorce her in a PRESS CONFERENCE?

Frankly, the McCain camp has lied so much that I don’t think people would believe them if they said 2 + 2 = 4.
I think most voters — particularly the independents whose support McCain so desperately needs — see through Giuliani’s baseless insinuation. If he had anything to justify an investigation, he’d be talking to prosecutors, not just reporters.
Once again, I have to wonder just how stupid the GOP is — or thinks we voters are. I’m not wild about Obama but I’m voting for him in large part because I can’t stand what the GOP has become: the party of fear, hatred, lies, and anti-intellectual demagoguery.

Everything I saw on Joe came from public documents. People no longer have any privacy. His income was from 2006 divorce records
There are many sites on the Internet that pull public records. some charge for the service
A site I use had Joe’s mortgage information, which appeared to be a subprime loan. Clues: variable interest rate, why would anyone get a variable rate when rates were so low. Price $126000, small down payment. purchase 2006, Country Wide a fraud company
My state and county has a large number of public records online. All court actions for years. All personal property record, including PDF loan documents.
I would like to see action towards removing the information. The loan document say whether a person is single or married, which is a concern for some single women.

Giuliani only asked about the tone that would be set by an Obama administration to quell free speech… because the Obama campaign was responsible for leading the verbal attack on “Joe the Plumber.” They gave others the green light.
So Obama now blames the McCain campaign with using “desperate charges.” In comparison…How desperate was Obama with his own words when he implied McCain was racist. And why is not Obama held accountable for Congressman Lewis who recently compared McCain and Palin to George Wallace and during the Democratic primaries also implied that Bill and Hillary Clinton were racists?
P.S. I notice that it is SOP that the Obama true believers demean others instead of addressing the topic.
P.S.S. Why is ObamaWorld sounding so “desperate” when they are ahead and the MSM has already annointed him the winner?

What verbal attack? Your candidate is the one that kept bringing him up and has kept him in the spotlight. How is that Obama’s fault?
Any flippin moron that can think for themselves knows this guy is a plant and this was all a setup including blaming Obama’s campaign for breaching his records. Same with Ashley Todd, they pushed that story and ooops it was a hoax, never happened.

McCain, Just go away! I am done with you and the Republican Party. Is there a shred of decency left?
It is time for some adult leadership.

Concerned in OH, Joe/Sam approached Obama. McCain decided to turn Joe/Sam into the idiot of the week (and continues to do so over & over & over & over….). If you want to point fingers at who turned this guy’s life into a circus, perhaps McCain & Joe/Sam needs to take some responsibility here.

My gosh anything else they can DREAM up…Give it up McCain you are a sick puppy and if you say was not me was to>>>>>>>>

A brutal side-by-side yesterday in New Mexico:
Crowd for Senator Obama in Albuquerque, N.M., last night: 35,000 inside the venue and another 10,000-15,000 outside.
Crowd for Senator McCain in Albuquerque, N.M., yesterday: 1,400 according to the McCain campaign, 1,000 or less according to reporters.

This is so crazy…
Obama campaigns (if I recall correctly the headlines were about him going door to door to ask for votes), he meets Joe/Sam and Joe/Sam asks a question.
Obama gives him and honest answer and that is reported in the news. For good or for bad…the answer is the answer.
During the debate…it is McCain…not Obama who brings up Joe/Sam. Not once, but multiple times. Obama did too but Obama did not bring Joe/Sam into the spotlight.
Then the media wants to know who is this Joe/Sam. Finds out the truth…and not it is all Obama’s fault.
From what I read – given I was not on the call, it doesn’t like Rudy G. was attached…the media was doing it’s job by asked…do you have any proof? I think that is a fair question.
Maybe Drudge should have asked that question of the Ashley.
I am all for telling the truth and exposing lies…but don’t accuse without some shred or inkling of discovery.

Concerned in OH, for your theory to hold up I would have claimed that Joe/Sam was a “plant” which I HAVE NOT. I would hope that ifthe RNC would put a “plant” out there, they would at least have a vetting process and put in a “plant” with some kind of intelligence and at least a plumbers license.

What – you mean the Repubs are crying “WOLF!” again?
Already?
The ‘backwards B’ girl hasn’t even been arraigned and we’re on to the next Obama-did-it smear.
REPUBS = LAUGHINGSTOCK
McCAIN = FAIL

Rudy and the rest of the base are diggin’ for a needle in a haystack. unfortunately for Joe the dumber, he walked into that bag of rocks when he decided to let the media stick a camera in his face after he asked the question…he allowed the McCain camp to make him the poster boy of a failing campaign…I could write lines for the ages but I don’t want that camera in my face LOL…poor Joe the Dumber, he does not represent we the people.

Biden had a tough interview on TV the other day with a Florida anchor and the Obama team is SO FURIOUS they are boycotting her for future interviews!!
Awwww, the did the Obama-Biden wussy boys get their feewings hurt?
LOL. What a bunch of pansies.

So, the RNC found out in 2006 of where 0bama was going on his walk-about in 2008. Bought Joe’s house (it was bought in 2006 according to the records the MSM dumpster dived for), put Joe in it and laid-low for 2 years setting a delicious trap for Senator Government?
Posted by: Concerned in OH | Oct 26, 2008 12:33:57 PM
Anybody can be bought. Who is this Joe related to? Coincidence?

Karl Rove paid Joe The Plumber to look into Obama’s messianic eyes and “will” him to come over and ask if he had a question.
LOLOLOL.
Poor Democrats. They’ve lost their minds.

Joe the Fake Plumber
Ashley the Fake Victim
Sarah the Fake Hockey Mom
John the Fake Candidate
Did I miss anyone?
OBAMA = PRESIDENT
McCAIN = FAIL

I would HOPE that if the RNC would put a “plant” out there, they would at least have a vetting process and put in a “plant” with some kind of intelligence and at least a plumbers license.
I still believe that if Joe/Sam was serious about buying this business, he would have been more careful to ensure a good credit score, such as paying his taxes to avoid liens and to acquire a plumbers license. I think that making over $250,000 and paying the taxes on this would be the least of his problems (considering he avoids paying the taxes anyway)

Zogby…the poll the Obamabots have been so excited about for the last few weeks…has his lead slip-slip-slip-slipping away. Three day average down to 5 pts. A one day poll shows it down to 3 pts.
All the help from the media and he still can’t close the deal?

Oh..and why is it any surprise that any Obama supporter dug through the personal information of someone who is not an Obama worshipper? Have we already forgotten the young man who has been indicted for hacking Gov. Palin’s email account? That one sure disappeared off the media radar quickly.

Public records are just that, public, not stolen or hacked, just public facts. If McCain had taken the time to research Joe the Plumber using public records he probably wouldn’t have chosen him as a mascot.
Additionally, the current administrations authorization of warrantless wiretaps and requested immunity for telecom firms is hypocritical at best. McCain supports both of those ideas.
Obama’s very own private passport files were broken into on 3 seperate occasions by three contract employees of the State Department in March of 2008 as were Hillary Clinton’s in April of 2008 in a training excercise. The timing of those suggests political motivation.
Hmm..sounds a lot like the pot calling the kettle black.

Hopefully it’s not the party of hate and intolerance”
I agree, hopefully the good guys, the Republicans, pull it out. That way all the race-baiters in the 0bama campaign can go back to shaking down banks and extorting companies.
Posted by: Concerned in OH | Oct 26, 2008 1:00:48 PM
Oh please come off your bs. Your candidate and his pitbull have pulled out some of the dirtiest crap in this campaign. I guess you agree with the garbage the McCain camp has been spreading. What if the shoe were on the other foot and Obama said those things about McCain would you agree with the tactics? Hell no.

How will McCain pay for his tax cuts, and on health care, taxes and education how does his plans differ from George Bush. Is what Obama says true? That’s what I want to hear from the McCain campaign.
What if Obama had stayed home that day? I fully expected McCain to drop Palin and have Joe run as VP, he did more press. The one consistent thing is that everyone can articulate Obama’s plan, but nothing about the pros or cons of McCain’s plan. He promises to do everything but nothing about how he’s going to do or pay for it. He failed the September surprise it has taken the campaign well over a month to realize that they must discuss the issues.
Its Joe the plumber, lipstick on the pig, celebrities etc but keep talking about these issues while real people are out their voting based on what’s happening to their kitchen cupboards.

“spox”??? like from the planet Vulcan?

The left has done a lot to repress free speech and the free press – note the cutting off of the tv station that actually asked some questions.
Obama and the ACORN crowd were told to go out an intimidate – “get in their faces” was the term Obama used.
There are a bunch of paid Obama posters on these abc blogs. Pretty obvious who they are.

McCain is not my choice for president, but he speaks with authority because of the works he has done in his 36 years in the senate and prior to that his service to the country as a warrior.

Phoney Plumber, Phoney Victim
Who cares?
I Voted Early. OOOOOOOOyeah

Although Joe the plumber might benefit from Obama’s tax cut now for $25?, $50? $100?, he, like most of American, has a dream that one day he will be a business owner. We don’t want this American dream to be taken away by Obama.

Bush has already done that, so you don’t have to worry. Unless of course McCain gets in.

I see you all have not lost your fight :
GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World.
Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain.
Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration.
You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year.
The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures.
See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!” theatrics.
The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY!
You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes now, and on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of “Let Them Eat Cake” Bush McCain, and their republican allies.
Just look at the mess we have now.
You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. And REMEMBER, no matter which of us may stumble or fall, the rest of you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us.
It’s in your hands now. And I know you will get it done.
God bless all of you.
JACK SMITH – WORKING CLASS… :-)

People should leave Joe the Plumber alone. He is typical of your average McCain supporter regardless of socioeconomics.
You can’t expect a man with his limited education to understand economic policy or foreign policy.
The Republicans have been the party of “What Ifs” for quite some time. What if he raises my taxes? What if someday I actually BECOME successful?
It’s pretty pathetic. Here you are, a grown man earning approximately $40,000 per year and you’re concerned about those earning $250,000? Trust me Joe…they’re not thinking about you.

Republicans/Bush Cheney: lies about WMD, leaks about CIA operatives, cronyism, lobbyist government, deregulation, net loss of jobs in 8 years, worst deficit ever, vote tampering, hypocritical government.
That is why Montana, Georgia, Missouri, Indiana, and North Dakota are toss-ups right now, and GOP strongholds like Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina are going blue.
Time to pay the cost GOP!

Joe the Plumber could have made his dream a reality during the Clinton administration, maybe he will be able to do the same in about 4 years after the Obama administration starts cleaning up the White House. Right now, not even Joe the Plumber can afford his American Dream.

Wow, that Giuliani is a pitbull, sometimes he’s worn lipstick too. Rudy’s slightly bonkers lately. What’s really up with him?

All Joe the Plumber did is ask a question,” Giuliani said on a conference call arranged by the McCain campaign, giggling. “That should not open American citizens to having — if this happened — their private records probed because of some sort of political retribution. And if this is the way an Obama administration is going to conduct itself, the American people should know this before the fact.”
—————————
Later, Rudy denied saying what he said..
The GOP is like a circular rifle squad just blasting away. Except, every now and then, a giggling Rudy has to excuse himself to reload and change his dress.

What is the average age of the people on this post 12? Has anyone read their history? I have always voted for the person, not the party. But if Obama gets elected with the dems in majority,
god help us all, this country was founded on checks & balances, which will all disappear. We as Americans, if we can still be called that if Obama wwins, have to right to work hard for our American dreams, not for the government to dictate to us what we can kkeep from our hard earned money to give to someone who doesn’t feel the need to help themselves or work hard for it. We have choices, work hard get more, you reap what you sow people. We have lost our passion & have resorted to believe what the press tells. Americans to your homework, read, read, read, don’t just listen to the bias media and air head actors, they are actors. Also do you want a president that feels he can buy the campaign? He already broke his promise about taking public campaign, what else will he change is mind. Read the cloward Priven stratergy, which Obama studied, see if that doesn’t scare you.

This Joe the Plumber stuff is getting demented. Take a look at the tape of the disccussion between Senator Obama and Joe. It was respectful and substantive on both sides. Obama answered every question that Joe put to him.
Accusing Obama of “punishing” poor Joe because he asked Obama tough questions is yet another McCain stunt. The Obama campaign didn’t discredit Joe. Joe did. He couldn’t resist talking to any reporter who knocked on his door and admitted, among other things, that he was not in any position to buy the business he worked for, made around $40,000 per year, did not support social security, and was not a licensed plumber.
McCain lamented Joe’s loss of privacy but that didn’t prevent him from mentioning Joe twenty-two times in a ninety minute debate. The media later found out that Joe hadn’t paid taxes of some sort and had voted Republican.
Joe, clearly savoring the attention that all of this has provided him, is now seeking a publisher and considering a run for Congress. Let’s consign Joe to the trash bin of other McCain stunts. There’s room between Paris, Britney and fake birth certificates.

There I was, taking money from an ATM, when BHO rolls up, knocks me down and carves a “B” into my cheek. So, vote for McCain or the terrorists will get you and carve a “B” into your cheek.

Janet, how do you think Joe/Sam the Plumber will secure a business loan for $250,000 with a credit report showing liens against him? I don’t think Joe/Sam has thought this through (which doesn’t inspire confidence that he will net $250,000 that he is so worried about paying extra taxes on any time soon)

Obamas camp won’t talk to a tv station in Florida anymore because they didn’t like the questions they were asking Biden.
Obama is preaching transparenecy in Government and when someone makes him mad he shuts them down? That is scary!!!
Fact”: when congress was working on the budget Obama voted to RAISE taxes on ANYONE making over $42,000.00 a year??? I thought the Messiah said only people making over $250,000.00 per year? Hmmm….
Fact: John McCain did not vote with president Bush 90% of the time. Here’s how it goes folks…… The house hears the bill and votes the senate hears the bill and votes and then it is passed onto the President. Therefore John McCain voted BEFORE the Presidnet saw it. Hmmmmmmmmmmm…
Fact: Before this election John McCain was widely praised for not voting along party lines and trying to reform government. He was one of only 5 Senators republican or democrat trying to reform OUR government. Obama never wanted to work with him to reform it.
Hmmmmm……

Why do democrats feel they can call McCain and Palin names but if you call Obama black your racist. Noone can touch Obama!!!
I find it truly disgusting that anyone would stoop so low as to make up names about anyone else. What’s worse is your allowed to vote!!! What’s worse than that is some of you are raising children and probably expressing your pure hatred and childlike behavior around them.
Grow up….. Obama is not this Countrys savior.
For the person who made the comment about Clinton. He wasn’t either! The only way he got out of his presideny with a budget surplus was because the IRS collected TRILLIONS of dollars from the dotcom boom. Clinton had nothing to do with it. The REPUBLICANS tried for 4 years to have him sign a balanced budget agreement and he wouldn’t. When he found out about the money the IRS collected he hurried back to DC to sign the agreement the REPUBLICANS had tried to get him to sign. Then he got on TV and said look what I did America!
Obama is not good for this Country….See I’m being an adult about this, no name calling!!
P.S. kicking people off the board beacause you don’t agree with what they say is extremly immature!!!

Over it: If Obama’s not good for the country then I guess two candidates with ethics violations on their record are huh?

Obama is another one of the great ones who cares about us. Just like Bobby, I fear that some angry person would ever take him away from us when we need him the most. I believe in this man that he will be a phenomenal President and right now, while I watch our family losing everything, I have hope that after this next week it will be the beginning of the changes we so desperately need.

Lies,Lies,Lies… Obama had nothing to do with it. It is public record. And the only thig that was released was the taxes that he owed. Not his S.S. No. or any private info. In Pa. if you donot pay your taxes it is printed in the news paper. And how much you owe.And your name on top of that. So Nazi Repubs try again. KEEP TRYING YOUR MAKING YOURSELF LOOK MORE AND MORE PATHETIC… AND QUITE FRANKLY IT IS MORE AND MORE OF A JOKE. WHICH THE REPUB PARTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN… Greg

No Janet, he said that he was buying his bosses business. And then he would be making about $250.00 Your Joe boy is a joke and a lier. And all he wants is attention,and fame. Yet like any other joke in the media that will be forgotten about in a few months. Him in the gongress Ha! Ha! Ha. Move to Alaska Joe ol boy. Move in a tiny village that may have two people to vote for you.

LOL! Blaming Clinton now for the economy? Can you say surplus and no wars? Yet Bush CHOSE to have a two front war and give back the surplus. All of this while increasing spending and decreasing regulation.
Only a mad men start two front wars – only irresponsible idiots don’t raise taxes during a war.
I was 100% committed to taking out Al Qaeda but Bush had other ideas like taking out a country that was never a threat to the US.

I was 100% committed to taking out Al Qaeda but Bush had other ideas like taking out a country that was never a threat to the US.
No worries. When Franks, Dodd, Pelosi,and Reid rule the roost, they’ll cut the military spending by 25% literally rendering the military, and our national security helpless.
I’m sure that will bring our nation serenity.

Sorry about the typo error. I mean “above the $250,000 pay grade”

Janet, when you apply for a business loan, the creditor checks into the applicant’s credit rating. DUH

Hey, Curiuous, you seem like a good-natured inquisitive guy, so I thought I’d give your questions a shot.
>1. My question is, if Obama believes firmly in what he said, why didn’t he help pay for Hillary Clinton’s 20 million campaign debt?
Because that has nothing to do with what he said, and suggesting otherwise is clear political grandstanding.
2. For the past 8 years, I have received several refund checks under Bush’s Administration… I am curious if Obama did donate or return his tax money (since he is about the $250,000 pay grade) back to his government or people that he is supposedly serving? I couldn’t find it anywhere on his records.
I don’t know.
Good questions, though maybe next time try to make your questions relevant to your talking points.

Alex,
” Obama Responds to McCain Camp Insinuations it Hacked into Joe the Plumber’s Private Files” — You mean this talking point?
I would stick to this talking point if it really has any bearing as to how this country would be better off or run. I don’t have any concrete prove as to weather Obama or his people has hacked into Joe’s private mail nor if McCain’s camp is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, neither do you nor ABC. :-) I shall leave that to speculation, at best. I am more interested with policies and issues rather than ‘he said or she said.’
I am interested with what I’d do or simply common sense rather than playing dirty tricks, and I have find that regardless what dirty tricks your opponent plays, it will ultimately goes in full circle.

Anything to avoid talking about the issues.

Yeah, McCain dragged Joe the plumber to the spotlight – abusing him for his own purposes and exposing him to the media.
If he really would want people to ask questions he would have never done that.
But this is not what he wants. He just wants to smear as much as he can, because his policies remain 90% Bush’s policies and this does not bring him any votes.
John McCain thinks he has nothing to lose anymore when in fact he now loses every single tiny remainder of his honour. Sad, sad.

joe the plumber is like a recurring nightmare or better yet, hemorrhoids that won’t go away. still, the man is some kind of saint to palin and mccain. just a few more days and we finally know who won it. whoever wins it, certainly hope it is by a wide margin so there is no mistake or second guessing by anyone. decisive win is most welcome.

In the same vein as some of these idiotic Republican comments I only want to add….remember Nixon, Watergate and the real Plumbers,McCain’s buddy G.Gordon Liddy and his group of thieves,safe crackers and assassins.That,and the complete arrogant idiocy of the Bush family should be a lesson for Americans, but,as I fear ,McCain is probably set himself up to steal the election via a false flag tragedy and the supreme court.All I can say is America is spiraling quickly down the same toilet that took Argentina ,Chile and Germany years ago.

Joe the plumber again? Before McCain picked a poster child for his campaign, the GOP should have investigated him. The Republican’s have not handled themselves well by throwing out accustaions. It hurts their numbers. I guess it is time for them to pack up their marbles and go home.

I bet my middle-class tax break (the bigger one–you know, under Obama) that Allison hasn’t even seen Obama’s *actual* answer to “Joe the Plumber.” She’s heard the GOP flacks talk about Obama’s “socialism” and “spread the wealth” answer and she’s fallen for it hook, line, and stinker.
Here’s an idea: Use your brain. Go watch the five-minute answer Obama actually gave the guy, which was a heck of a lot more thoughtful than what the GOP and the media (*gasp* I thought they were liberal!?) have portrayed.
(Hint: it’s nothing even close to “socialism” or “spread the wealth.”)

Awesome write-up. Will keep an eye out for more from you. Have you got monthly newsletter I can sign up to? Thankyou
