Who Is Joe The Plumber?

DUmmies say Joe's not registered to vote.

[Global2010]

Once again Obama has deeply offended me.

[ovrtaxt]

Whether he is or isn’t personally registered, big deal. He symbolizes millions of us who are- much like Sarah.

DUmmies say Joe's not registered to vote.

They sure started the personal destruction program right away on this guy.

So much for Dems being the party of the working man.

[ovrtaxt]

Working man? To these control freaks, you don’t qualify if you aren’t in a union. Joe probably isn’t, how dare he be self sufficient!

[avacado]

"DUmmies say Joe's not registered to vote."

DUmmies also think voting for Obama will get them out of their moms' basement.

[Darkwolf377]

Plus, Joe strives to own a business = control the poor working class = rise above his poor, honest bourgeois self = trying to take more than his fair share = Joe is An Evil Rich Person!!!!!

And he didn't even know it!

[Darkwolf377]

DUmmies also think voting for Obama will get them out of their moms' basement.

If they wanted out of Mom's basement they wouldn't be DUmmies.

I think they believe Obama will send them a monthly stipend. It's called No Couch Potato's Behind Left.

Joe pierced that lie, which is why they feel the need to destroy his name. If he had said he was going to vote Obama, despite the personal cost to his family, he'd be their hero. Donks rate everyone based on usefulness.

[leadhead]

McCain should be running ads in all 57 (sic) states with a local "Joe" giving the same story...I want to get ahead but the O tax plan will kill my dreams. Plumber, HVAC guy, Baker, Convenience store, etc.

Opportunity or Frustration, voter's choice!

[ovrtaxt]

“his bourgeois self” lol

[igoramus08]

Obama’s tax cuts arent going to matter if you lose your job.

Also if you raise business taxes, everything will cost more. Imagine if sales taxes went up 10% or 15%. So under Obama’s tax plans, everyone will be worse off.

LOL True!

Joe pierced that lie

I just had a (I assume) DUmmie ask me what I meant when I wrote about Joe being an example of how the libs don't care for working folk who don't happen to agree with their politics.

My answer: "People who have jobs"

I think he was trying to imply I'm anti-unemployed person, or something.

When the party of JFK has to ask what one means with the term "working folks," you know their party's gone whole-hog commie! :D

[GoLightly]

Yes, we're the bitter clinger class.

[GoLightly]

People who have jobs in the private sector.

[Darkwolf377]

People who have jobs in the private sector.

If they have jobs in the public sector, they are assumed to be libs, and thus, acceptable.

[GoLightly]

If they have jobs in the public sector, they are assumed to be libs, and thus, acceptable.

From my POV, public sector workers are overhead & it's a sound business principle to keep overhead as low as possible. To the left, that makes me heartless.

"Not only do 98 percent of small businesses make less than $250,000, but I also want to give them additional tax breaks, because they are the drivers of the economy," Obama said. "They produce the most jobs."

I wonder to what extent is this true, that 98% of small businesses make less than $250,000? Is a gas station a small business? Is that the same as a vegetable stand? Is an auto repair shop a small business? ...a plumbing shop? ...a small retail store? ...a sandwich shop? ...a welding shop? What is BO talking about?
