Links Here in Japanese to Japanese commentary about last night's debate and elevates the issue of *JOE THE PLUMBER* as indicative of middle class concerned Americans.

Translates him as [働く配管工のジョー] "Hataraku Haikanko no Joe-san" (literally, "Joe, the Working Plumber"), and states he is an interesting developing campaign story in the USA delineating the differences between McCain and Obama on basic TAX ISSUES.

Going global, folks. From my own research just now, even some of the dummies over at DU's heads are exploding in anger over this sudden, new, real live NARRATIVE to the American political landscape, Joe The Plumber (who conveniently is opposed to Obama). They are now trying to dig up things on this real "Average Joe", Joe W., some calling him a racist (I know, I know, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), or that he is not registered to vote, the whole usual panicking liberal nine yards. LOL.

Don’t get me started!
My house has the PEX pipes.

Pretty much indestructible. But nobody has ever come up with a good way to connect them.

Till me, that is.

Two of Obama's biggest headaches this election will be The Pfleger and The Plunger.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Plungers could be the new PITCHFORKS!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I just want to hear from the Japanese “ Hey Joe Joe the Plumber ? screw the Main Stream Media in America , the Liberals, and Obama... you are our guy, and McCain is going to win “ . signing off, Tokyo ..
Let's hear the Obama Campaign and the MSM call the Japanese " Racist "...

[Sisku Hanne]

The post at that link is HILARIOUS!! I love the “Plumbers Against Obama” image, with the Obama “O” turned into a plumber’s “crack”!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yeah, that would be a Plumbers Crackdown.

[AmericanInTokyo]

The libs must be saying, "Hey, don't be a "wisecrack!" LOL

[AmericanInTokyo]

Paging ol' Doug. I know you are busy, but.....

How about a good country song celebrating the new coast-to-coast American folk hero, "JOE THE PLUMBER", called "Take This Wrench And Shove It"

to the tune of "Take This Job And Shove It"??

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Obama won’t have to attack ole’ Joe. Why? Because his buddies in the mainstream press will do it for him. We’ll probably find out things like he owns guns or he’s divorced and skipped a child support payment five years ago. The MSM will dig deep on ole Joe, but won’t lift a finger to find anything out about Hussein.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You are probably right. In fact, you ARE right.

[Terpfen]

Let's hear the Obama Campaign and the MSM call the Japanese " Racist "...

If they did, it would be one of the few instances in which they might be correct. At the very least, Japan is fairly xenophobic.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Point well taken, and yes, and we can devote a whole separate FR thread on that topic if you would like! ;-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

[usconservative]

“We Are All Joe The Plumber Today.”

[Thane_Banquo]

Hoping and praying that on Nov. 5 the story will be: “Joe the Plumber saves the Republic!”

[peggybac]

Thanks for the translation! Figures the dems would go after Joe. He best watch his, and his family’s, back.

My head would explode if I had to learn to read and write Japanese.

[Lady Heron]

he is not registered to vote

And this disqualifies him from getting mad that democrats want to steal more of his money. I see since he has not registered he has no freedom of speech. I guess Obama should not have walked down his street.

[MrB]

They now need a

spread
YOUR
wealth

[AmericanInTokyo]

lets see what happens. there will be enough voter fraud out there to have ALL of us worried and angry, I am afraid.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Send ACORN over there. THEY will be sure to register him. ;-) /sarc
