Joe Wurzelbacher lashed out at former GOP presidential nominee John McCain Tuesday, the man who made Wurzelbacher famous as “Joe the Plumber.”

Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”

I could have sworn I saw Joe Biden's picture on a milk carton yesterday.

Or was that mug Bob Rubin's?

We are not in the presence of greatness.

Washington has become a seething cess pool of corruption, charlatans and losers. Not our "Best & Brightest", but our "Worst & Dullest".

The nation must find a way to rid itself of its governing class.

[Balding_Eagle]

Damn right.

[FixitGuy]

After reading these comments, I agree that McCain and the party let us down.

I voted on "hope" and very little more.

This tragedy will last a long while, I'm afraid.

McCain turned out to be a real loser. I was hoping his "judgment" and "courage" would win the day.

Boy was I fooled. Or just fooled myself???? Party's in the toilet and the nation's financial strength has been sold out to a bunch of corporate socialists!

” To clarify this thread... Joe the Plumber was appalled with McCain’s answers to the $700 billion bailout... “

The Politico obviously distorted JTP’s answer .
Why do those on the right continue to talk to the MSM and expect a fair shake ?

[Leisler]

If in fact that is true, and I don’t accept that, but from a tactical point of discussion, then, how is would Mitt or any Mormon think he could win, ever, a GOP nomination?

We're getting more like the Soviet Union than Russia is today.

When I was in high school in 1983/84, all of us politically minded kids were discussing what was happening at the time, Flight KAL-007, the Pershing II missiles, Yuri Andropov and so on, I asked the question, "what if, one day, the USSR became the US and the US became the USSR?" Well, I might get my answer. B-P

[Coleus]

i hope she runs for higher office.. What exactly does a community organizer do??

[E. Cartman]

I felt dirty when I voted for McCain.

Yeah??? Well, I felt dirty listening to him speak.

[Bigg Red]

I most certainly do agree with Joe, my FRiend!

[E. Cartman]

McCain got to be the nominee because of OPEN PRIMARIES where DEMOCRATS can PICK OUR NOMINEE

Which is precisely how the MSM, democrats and the other members of the left are going to foist Huckabubba on us in 2012.

Instead of calling themselves the GOP, the Pubbies should call themselves "The Patsy Party", 'cuz they were set up real bad this time around.

We all know who and what McCain is. Most of us voted for Palin. What I want to know is what McCain said that was so appalling?

In another post today on this subject, Joe was quoted as saying he discussed the bailout with McCain and when he learned McCain's views on it and the pork in it, he was appalled and wanted to get off the campaign bus right then. He Couldn't understand why McCain was for the bailout and tried to talk him out of it. It is all in his new book that is coming out soon. Joe also had nothing but praise for Palin.

“...OPEN PRIMARIES where DEMOCRATS can PICK OUR NOMINEE...”

this must STOP!

agreed 100%...If you don't close these primaries, you will get another bumbling fool!!!!!

[Neidermeyer]

has anyone form a conservative 3rd party gotten a hold of Joe the Plumber yet?

I’d rather have 535 “Joe the Plumbers” in DC than who we have now...

[Red Boots]

I thought I knew a lot about McCain, but I never heard that.

You must not be reading the "National Enquirer" then.

[Scothia]

You mean there was someone on the ticket besides Sarah?

[Arizona Carolyn]

I don’t think he cares, he is a terrible senator for AZ, he cares less what any of us think here, just wants the votes. Too bad no one has the cajones to run against him in the primary so we can get a better person in that seat.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Democrats. This is why I was against operation chaos, I didn’t like that the democrats crossed over in NH and brought McCain back to life when he was dead as a door nail.

[zeugma]

I’d rather have 535 “Joe the Plumbers” in DC than who we have now...

I'd rather have 535 random people chosen by lottery than those who currently occupy the District of Criminals

[Arizona Carolyn]

Forget third parties, every election mess has been due to third party candidates, McPalin would have won NC if Barr had not been in the running... Chambliss would not have ended up in a runoff without a third party candidate, Norm Coleman may have won straight out without a third party candidate... third party candidate gave us Bill Clinton as President... third parties do not work! Fix the GOP...

[SerafinQ]

i disagree...also, McCain did win NC http://www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/8562/13981/en/summary.html and Barr only received 7,283 votes, Chambliss is not a conservative icon. McCain and Chambliss had trouble because they did not stand up as unashamed conservatives..because they are not...look how Palin go the voters excited in Georgia. She got them going for McCain too, but then McCain would come out and say or do something liberal. McCain lost because he is not and id not run as a conservative. Chambliss ran the run off as a conservative and won easily.

I you want to support the GOP, go for it and I how they come around before 2010...but you will be very disappointed..the GOP has been handed its hat.
