Joe the Plumber: McCain 'appalled me'
Politico ^ | 12/9/08 | ANDY BARR

Posted on 12/09/2008 3:43:31 PM PST by redk

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 guess they didn't want us to see what he actually said about Sarah -

“Sarah Palin’s absolutely the real deal. You know, I only got to spend a short amount of time with her but, you know, it was been asked if I felt any presence when I was with John McCain or Barack Obama. You know, with Sarah Palin, I don't want to say I felt a presence but she definitely had energy and she definitely went to work for American people, and it disgusts me on how often they try to bash her just for her sincerity. It's just, you know, she really wants to work for America and I mean, I wish people would listen to her and let them, and let her work for us. You know, she wants to serve us. She's not looking for power.”

Was he in Nam? From now on McCain will only be remembered as the super-RINO who was Obama’s enabler.

Good point and the whole election process needs revising to weed out the dead, fraud and multi-voters. I was hoping Pres. Bush would address but I guess he had other priorities.

Obama’s Trojan Horse did his job well. Let’s wait and see what his reward in the Obama administration will be.

Asked why he didn’t leave McCain’s campaign if he was “appalled” by the candidate, Wurzelbacher said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.”

While Wurzelbacher was critical of McCain during the interview, he had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.

We know that Joe, thanks for confirming it.

I agree...How do we close them ? Is it up to the Republican Party or the individual states?

Of course, this would also stop Rush Limbaugh's operation CAOS.

It has to take quite a bit for a plumber to feel dirty!

Hehehhe. Good point.

Joe, you’re the REAL DEAL too and we thank you for your up-front ways and honesty. In these days of sell-out loyalties and hollow promises, you are very refreshing.

McCain was heavily promoted by the same MSM which immediately turned on him because the MSM elites thought Obama would easily beat him. Governor Palin scared them and that’s why “Katie” and “Charlie” and the rest of the MSM had to rabidly swing into action and try to destroy her.

McCain should take a clue and realize that Leiberman would not have kept him from getting an absolute worse drubbing than he got. Ego is a hard taskmaster. Sarah helped him make a fairly respectable showing from a lot us who were poised to just not vote.

The message they’re sending is pretty clear, toe the line or you’re toast.

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

...because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.

Wow - the exact same reason I voted for the erratic, completely unpredictable, so-called 'Republican' nominee...

Retire, John, retire...

Wow. That's why she's the real deal and not a DC insider. And why we need her. Desperately. What a breath of fresh air she is!

“...McCain ‘appalled me’...”

Ditto on that.
Palin energized me.
