The lowdown on Joe the plumber

As many of you know, Joe the plumber has become an appendage of the McCain campaign, wailing away at Barack Obama like a kid on a piñata.  In fact, since Joe's arrival on the political scene, McCain has seen his poll numbers rise.

Thankfully, the media is investigating this phenom and the more we learn about Joe the plumber, the less credible he's becoming.  Discrediting items our friends in the press have revealed thus far include the following tid-bits:

• His membership in a radically racist church for more than 20 years, a membership he's since renounced.
• His friendship with that church's racist pastor, a friendship that inspired Joe to write a book called "The Audacity of Pipe (Cutters)".
• His first home was funded in part by a friend currently under federal indictment for an illegal kickback scheme.
• His girlfriend had a pretty radical history and has only recently revealed her pride in America now that Joe is a celebrity.  Sources also reveal that her senior year thesis is racially tinged and rooted in identity politics.
• Persistent rumors detail his relationship with an unrepentant domestic terrorist, a person whose backed up toilet launched Joe's plumbing career.
• He has a 'lost' brother who lives in a shack in West Virginia that lacks indoor plumbing.
• His ties to the fraudulent and scandal ridden Association of Plumbing Organizations for Reform Now (APORN).
• He raised plumbing fees 94 times in the last two years.

This is but a small part of why Joe the plumber should be dismissed out of hand and why John McCain's embrace of the man should disqualify him from being the next President of the United Sates.

OBAMA + DEM CONG = USA RIP

I hope all this goes away.

One tiny little clarification...Rezko was an indicted felon when Obama's shady real estate deal was conducted, but he is now a convicted felon (but only on 16 of the 24 charges!)

I hear he's also a fan of Nickelback.

It’s not that I want to punish your success; it's just that while you're out working hard, we've got people ... who don’t have any money. Now, if you take 16, and divide it by 32, add 9, and square it by the root of the hypotenuse, ah you’ll pay less with my tax plan. Don't quote me on that, um you might pay a little more; that is unless of course you divide by 6, add 8, and subtract 3. Now ten years ago, if you’d been enrolled under my plan … is it hot out here?

But thanks for the question. Say, I've got to get out of here. I've got a debate to prepare for. Hey, I respect what you do. Anyway, how many plumbers do you know who make a quarter-million dollars a year? (My plumber does.) Now if Joe the Plumber’s employer gets overtaxed, Joe might lose his job. But for the job Obama wants, he’s got to do more than tackle the local plumber. And, so far he hasn’t done that. Woe unto the Democrats: the plumbers givith, and the plumbers taketh away, amen.

The guys was just asking a question about the economy, and the questioned pertained to all of us. The media had to turn him into a monster, didn't it. The press will even make the easter bunny look bad. Hmm lets se what they'll write:

Had a rift with Christ over Christ's winning the popularity contest with Christians

Sided with commercial companies to increase the price of chocolate eggs (rumor has it that the bunny is being given 10% of profits)

Had an affair with Bugs Bunny's wife, and produced Buster Bunny, star of Nickolodeans Looney Toons.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
was the person behind Christs execution. He was the louded voice on "Crucify Him". Yes the press has actually covered a photo of the Easter Bunny actually being disguised in the crowd with a thumbs down sign!
