Amazing how effectively leftist minions can investigate an unknown guy down to the hair follicle, but STILL can't provide background information on Barry. Just amazing.

Forget about a legal defense fund ... he needs a physical defense fund!

I just read how he came in contact with 0Bambi in the first place ... Joe and his son were playing football outside Joe's home when 0Bambi and his media posse decided to stop in the neighborhood and bask in the fearful adoration of the little people campaign door-to-door. The Toledo Blade reported the street he lives on.

I fully expect members of the deranged Left to attempt to cause him bodily harm ... after all, they like to destroy other people's property almost as much as they like confiscating other people's money ...!

Most states require a license if you're working independently.

If you're an employee, you work under your employer's license.

Turn the table, so to speak.

Have you heard Obama and Biden out there mocking Joe the Plumber today? Basically calling him a liar that he makes 250K - when Obama’s conversation with him was about potentially making 250K IF he took over his boss’ company - jerks!

What a disgraceful performance by Obama partisans. What a disgraceful performance by Obama and Biden. Let’s talk about the issues in the campaign as Obama said in the 3rd debate. What a disgraceful performance as Obama talks the talk and does not walk the walk again. What a disgraceful performance by Senator Government (Obama) for not speaking up to stop these personal attacks. Is this how your administration will behave when you have the DOJ, FBI, and Secret Service at your disposal?

GUYS, I just saw a new clip of Obama saying, with HUGE dismissal and disdain, to a crowd: "John McCain says he's [working] for Joe the Plumber. How many plumbers do you know that make $250K a year?"

Then he stood there very self-importantly and with a "yeah, sure" half-smirk on his face and a slight head-bobble as the crowd roared with cheers and laughter.

IT WAS DISGUSTING AND WILL BACKFIRED BIGTIME.

We better set up a Joe the Plumber Defense Fund, at some point he will need a lawyer.

I love this Joe angle and hope it has legs but FReeper legal aid pools for anything beyond the forum itself like JR's media content battles is a veritable cesspool...it's donater beware.

All the lawyers running the democratic party have no clue how businesses work in this country and THAT is why things are so screwed up. We need to get REAL people in the senate and congress not these Harvard/Princeton bozo's......

BTW Obama mocked Joe this morning at his rally.

Now you're talking. There are a lot of Joes and Sarahs out here who are getting pretty damn tired of the government getting in our way.

Isn’t it true you have to serve an apprentiship before you can even be a licensed plumber? For all we know some old guy is apprenticing him and he plans to buy the business when the guy retires....

The whole issue of “lisenced” is a red herring. By bringing it up they mean to imply he operates illegally.

In construction businesses lisenced means a number of different things and they vary from State to State as well as by Communitees.

First of all you have Occupation Lisences generally issued by cities or political subdivisions like counties. The are often not required outside city limits. Sometimes individuals working without employees are exempt. They usually are a simple form and annual fee.

Next you have what is called a Masters Lisence. For certain trades such as Plumber, Electrician, Spinkler Fitter, Boiler Operator, Elevator Installer and other skilled crafts the State or political subdivision such as a City issues this lisence after a test and a fee. The test can be quite difficult. I hold one as a General Contractor and it was an eight hour exam that many fail to pass.

In various political subdivisions the Master’s lisence is required to do one or more of the following:
Own the business
Manage the specific project
Obtain the Permit
Perform the new work
Perform repairs

Each state, county, city or contract has ordinances and codes which govern if and by whom a Master’s lisence is required and it varies by craft.

I managed over five million dollars in plumbing and pipe-fitter work in 2005 and I don’t hold a Master’s lisence in either Craft. That project required no City permit and no occupation lisence. I did have a large number of Master Plumbers and Master Pipe-Fitters amongst the over one hundred tradesmen working on the job.

Again the purpose of the leftists is not specific but instead to slur his character.

If and when you get in touch with Joe the Plumber, I know you'll give him the best regards from all your colleagues at FreeRepublic.

You might want to take a look at my latest column, posted today on FR. I wrote it after the last Debate, but I deliberately didn't mention either McCain or Obama in the column. I think you'll like it.

Cordially,

Congressman Billybob
