The news of Joe's life was made public the day after McCain used him in a debate. What apparently you were not told was it was socialist government employees who did illegal background searches on government owned computers to dig the dirt on this guy.
I think he served in the military as well but of course that does not get any play and he finally got custody of his son.
WHY? Because Joe I would like to own a plumbing business asked that ONE about his tax plan. And that ONE forgot he was on camera and did not have his prompter in front of him revealed himself to be a Marxist when he praised wealth redistribution. Nobody was suppose to know what that ONE intends for Americans. And it seems the majority of Americans could care less.
Yes it was FOX that had this segment on ole Joe......he’s also misinformed about what welfare really is...hardly the one to speak out on socialism..........
Colmes: Well, let me ask, you were on welfare once, was that taking somebodies else’s money and giving it to you?
Plumber Joe: Paid into welfare. It something to be used, not to be abused like it often is.
Spoken like a true wingnut. He’s perfect for FOX News. Colmes nailed him pretty good. He talks about his principles at the end of the clip, but really they are no principles at all, just the principle of a wingnut.
Jed has more:
So it turns out that when Plumber Joe was a child, he was on welfare, not once, but twice, and he credits it with helping his family ultimately lead a middle-class life style. He defends having received welfare by saying that he’s subsequently paid into the system.
Suddenly we have Joe The Reasonable, right? Well, not exactly. Plumber Joe has got something of a tax dodging problem. In the end, he’s just another typical Republican hypocrite.
