TOLEDO, Ohio - “Joe the plumber,” the new face of middle-class America after Sen. John McCain made him famous in Wednesday night’s presidential debate, isn’t technically a plumber, and he probably wouldn’t be adversely affected by Sen. Barack Obama’s tax plan. But the issues he has raises are important and worth examining for their impact on small businesses...

Drudge has a video link of Gregory softballing Biden and Biden is poo-pooing “Joe the Plumber.”

NBC, the network of panty-wetting ‘journalis’ Sissy Matthews and Keith Olbermanchild.

Sorry, MSM. I expect analysis of things that have numbers in them to be done by folks who actually had numbers in their school and college classes. Journalists are not members of that group.

"Joe the plumber,” the new face of middle-class America after Sen. John McCain made him famous in Wednesday night’s presidential debate, isn’t technically a plumber"....

"isn’t technically a plumber"-isn't that a split infinitive, like we learned not to do in 7th grade English back in the day (although I did have to learn how to put a condom on without my school helping me) I think it should be "technically isn't a plumber" (assuming that's true)What kind of illiterate "journalists" do they have these days?

Here, I'll write one:

"NBC technically isn't a news organization"-that sounds right doesn't it?

“The Toledo Plumbing Board of Control may consider sanctions against Wurzelbacher or Newell”

Gestapo tactics, anyone?

The left investigates a guy who simply asked its Messiah a question and didn’t like the answer. How foolish of him to have stated his displeasure. Just how far fetched is it to imagine jack-booted thugs knocking down your door at 2 AM in order to confiscate your guns? It happened in New Orleans. Buy a Glock today and vote on Nov 4th!

What NBC doesn’t understand is that it doesn’t matter if Joe is affected. What matters is that Joe let Obammy show his true color: Commie red.

[posting w/o reading the PMSNBC article ...] OK, why is he ‘technically not a plumber’? And who affixed that moniker to him ANYWAY?

Because he apparently doesn't have a plumber's license. Don't you know that if the 'state" doesn't say you're a plumber you're not?

It really doesn't matter. I don't think he ever said he was a plumber just that he wanted to buy a plumbing business.

is NBC now going to explain how a “tax refund” is given to a person who does not pay taxes?

is NBC now going to confirm how people come out ahead with McCain’s 5k dollar tax credit?

NBC has dusted off Tom “Socialism is ok” Brokaw in order to salvage the illusionary tatters of their alleged reputation.

Yeah — Obama wants to “spread the wealth.” But he means OPW (Other Peoples’ Wealth), not his own. When it comes to spreading his own wealth, that’s different. That’s why he couldn’t find an extra $20 a month to send his half-brother in Africa (even though we “are our brother’s keeper”).

Funny though, in 2006 he did manage to find $26,000 to send Jeremiah Wright to help propagate the hateful, racist, America-hating bilge that Obama said he never heard while sitting in Wright’s church for 20 years.

Your’s is the appropriate response!!

It’s not about Joe, it’s about “The One”.

The media sickens me by hiding behind the First Amendment while trying their best to deny me of my Second Amendment rights.

Words are good in a polite society, bullets may become necessary in an uncivil one.

“Buy a Glock today and vote on Nov 4th!”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Have a Glock and a Ruger. I’ll be buying a .357 Magnum ranch rifle to standardize with my ammo for revolvers.

And I WILL vote on 11/4, for Sarah, Joe, you and me! I’ll just have to reluctantly accept that McCain will spend a few years in the White House. This is about more than our disagreements with him. It’s about getting our voice back!
