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.

I know it would probably be a HUGE undertaking, but is there any one place that is tracking all the harassment of private, individual citizens (sign burnings, threats, investigations) who have opposed his highness, the Obaminator? I mean, wouldn't it be an interesting collection of information for the independent voter to see prior to the election. If his goons and thugs are acting like this before he holds office, imagine how free speech would be down the toilet (thank you Joe) with BO calling the shots.

Anybody know of a link where this is being tracked?

I can’t see what all the fuss is about him not having a plumbing license. It varies from state to state as to whether an owner needs to be licensed. In my state there is usually only one plumber licensed in a company, the rest are called apprentice’s. They do the same work without the master plumber license. No big deal.

Democrats, like water, seek their own level.

Joe doesn’t need a license to be a plumber.

Obama, however, DOES need a license to be President: proof that he is a natural citizen. ...funny, we haven’t seen that yet...

“Is Joe the first regular guy right off the street that managed to get in a question on Obama?”

Obama Campaign memo:

From now on all questioners will be required to carry a teleprompter.

Joe the plumber,or any plumber, does not need a license unless they are a contractor or own the business. These people know that but they are trying their best to make this guy out to be a jerk. It is working, they are merely going to piss off a bunch of working class people.

Where is the MSM reporting on Obama’s Indonesian Passport that allowed Baraq Hussein Mohammad Obama to visit Pakistan and probably Iran in the early 80s when doing so was not permitted by the U.S. State department?

I was born in a hospital. That doesn’t make me a doctor.

No, but it might make you more conventional than Obambi.

FOX female talking head Martha “Gee, I’m SOO Cute” McCallum this afternoon offered this about Joe the Plumber:

“He speaks quite well.”

Martha, there are a LOT of highly intelligent folks working OUTSIDE the NY NEWS MEDIA who prefer — for MANY reasons — to do things with their hands. Jesus worked with HIS hands (hopefully he’ll continue to do so to help you and your pals with their insufferable ELITISM).

So next time the crap starts to back up in one of your 6 bathtubs, call someone who REALLY speaks well (while generally saying nothing) like Bill “Which End of the Hammer Goes in the Socket” Kristol.

Let us know how that works out for you.

Just think of the harassment that Joe and his contractor will get now from a Hussein Administration!!

At a bare minimunm--the IRS (just there to help, of course) will be all over both of them like a cheap suit. Sad.

I don’t know about in his state, but in every state I am aware of there is no requirement for a plumber or electrician to be licensed as long as they work under someone else’s licence. This is NORMAL.

We’re it not for the pain Joe the Plumber might have to endure, I would hope that the MSM goes after him with a vengence as they did to Palin. Let all the world see who the Deomcrats really are. Let them get caught in a Wellstone moment.

Well the liberal elite don’t understand small businesses or the trades so they can just spout any kind of garbage.
