Joe the Plumber goes off on McCain, says he 'screwed up my life'

Joe the Plumber is no longer a fan of either Sarah Palin or John McCain, it seems.

Joe, also known as Sam Wurzelbacher, told an audience in Pennsylvania this week that McCain "is no public servant."

"McCain was trying to use me," Wurzelbacher said, according to public radio correspondent Scott Detrow. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”

"I don’t owe him s—," Wurzelbacher continued. "He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

You don’t owe him anything, in fact you owe Obama. He stopped randomly to ask you a question on camera and you asked him about taxing 250K earners. Then your book deals and speaking and didn’t fox send you to Israel? This guys 15 min still aren’t up?

For those who don’t bother to read the article at the source — Joe is mad at Sarah because Sarah is campaigning for McCain. He’s really mad at McCain.

But, he really lost me when he said that Obama is an honest politician because “he tells you what he’s going to do.”

Unfortunate.

He should have used his accidental fame to his advantage instead of trying to make it sound like he’s some kind of victim.

Watch MSNBC and the rest who couldn’t stand the guy before to all of a sudden become his best friend. More TV appearances? Maybe a “tell all” book deal?

This celebrity culture just sucks. Go get your damn plumbing license, Joe, time’s up.

Joe The Plumber was out front in promoting himself. If I felt I was being exploited by a political figure, I’d just politely decline any public appearances or campaign appearances for everyone.

It’s ok to be humble, even in our media driven age, you know.

His statement irritates the hell out of me because it absolves the Democrats of responsibility.

Not fair to blame McCain for what Democrat operatives did.

He’s looking to get more face time on the networks. The MSM will be all over him like they were with Levi Johnson. Wait and see!

As for Obama: "I think his ideology is un-American, but he’s one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do."

First off Joe, I understand your feelings about McCain, unfortunately he was the best of a bad choice. As far as 0bie being honest, that's a bit of a stretch. I guess if you took the time and paid attention to all his past ravings you would have figured out he's a Marxist. As far as his campaign rhetoric, if you just went by that not so much.

But then again if you paid attention to Hitler and read "Mein Kampf" beforehand then he also told you what he wanted to do. Otherwise it was all German style Hope 'n Change.

So Joe is mad at Sarah for campaigning for McCain yet in 2008 he wasn’t mad at her for being his running mate, and Joe had no problem campaigning for him as well. Joe is off his nut

This was just an average schmuck, who because he DARED to ask the media’s annointed one a tough question, got a tighter rectal exam by the Media than the PRESIDENT was subjected to, including illegal records searches, and had his whole life exposed to the world, because he HAD to be destroyed.

And he is RIGHT about Obama. Anybody that actually listened to what this guy was saying already knew what was coming.

I don’t get the attacks on this guy. Unless our KOS/DU trolls are trying to start something.

“he tells you what he’s going to do.”

This idiot is the worst of the worst! While the entire country is shifting away from 0bama, this clown now shows him some support.

And what’s worse, 0bama has proven time and again that he will NOT tell us what he’s going to do. He’s broken more campaign promises than can be counted, and even the left is p*ssed at how none of his promises are coming to pass.

From what I remember, “Joe” is not really even a licensed plumber. Maybe he should get his license or whatever, because the punditry think sure isn’t working out. Unless he wants to defect over to the left and be their “useful idiot”.
