Joe the Plumber said Thursday he doesn't have a license and doesn't need one. Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, the nickname Republican John McCain bestowed on him during Wednesday's presidential debate, said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. Because he works for someone else, he doesn't need a license, he said.

McCain needs to make and ad with the following them:

The mainstream media is now spending their time attacking Joe the Plumber instead of questioning Barack Obama's involvement with Acorn and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

Yes! McCain, PLEASE do this!

This just show’s how out of touch the elite media are....they have no idea how the middle class live!

Apparently the left is shouting that there is a tax lien on him as well for unpaid taxes.

Here’s some breaking news...If it hadn’t been this (i.e. lack of a plumbing license), it would’ve been something else...A run-in with law enforcement, an ex-wife, a disgruntled former co-worker, a past IRS audit, a less-than-obedient kid...Anything to diminish who the guy is and downplay what he said.

10 bucks says that Joe the Plumber gets vetted more than obama.

[macamadamia]

Yeah, they're outraged about a plumber's license, but don't give a Mr. Hanky about a presidential candidate's birth certificate. (Apologies to Mr. Hanky...he's one of the good guys turds.)

“Now if he were to buy the company he works for than he will need a license.”

Or have a licensed plumber on staff.

I wish I could draw...we need a cartoon of the liberal press sticking the sword of the press into Joe The Plumber.

Great video, but my heartfelt recommendation to Joe the Plumber is to no longer talk to the MSM. As you can see in that video, the MSM is working feverishly to get this guy to talk and talk so they can find something he says and create a situation where they can crucify him and discredit him and save Obama. The MSM knows this guy, and this issue is very potent and they will work to try and take this guy out, and fast. For his own sake, he ought to clam up.

I heard that he has 2 cats and only 1 cat license is on file.
Lawbreaker, he should be jailed.

[Proud2BeRight]

How dare Joe question the messiah.

[dforest]

The leftists miss the point here. Joe never said he was a licensed plumber. All Joe said was that he wanted to buy a plumbing business.

That said, it was Obama’s reaction to the question that is the real story here. What Obama said is the story.

It really doesn’t even matter if Joe delivers flowers.

I ate at McDonald’s, that doesn’t make me a hamburger.

“Because we all know that you can’t do plumbing unless you have a card from the government saying that you are a plumber...”

Ha! SO true. no sarcasm tag needed on that statement

[wideawake]

I’ve given up on people picking up on my dry sense of humor.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Does Joe The Plumber have a legal birth certificate?

[Obadiah]

Ha, do you think we’re stupid?

[ladyvet]

Wow, scary when a normal guy gets this kind of character assassination from the American media. EVERYONE has problems and skeletons in their closet...except Bambi.

[stockstrader]

I'm sure the Democratic Party ATTACK MACHINE is in 'high-gear'--

searching for any and all dirt, mud or smut on Joe--to ensure that he gets smeared and slandered at least on a Palinesque-level!!!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

“Does Joe The Plumber have a legal birth certificate?”

Doesn’t need one.

Haven’t you heard??
