Winner of Debate: Joe the Plumber
Shout-out to school vouchers!


Haha, this debate. This debate was so out of left field. Like, who knew to put Joe the Plumber down in their debate bingo square instead of maverick? If you for some reason had decided to take a drink every time Obama and McCain referenced their imaginary friend, you'd be dead. Dead of alcohol poisoning.

Who saw Bob Scheiffer being so in the bag for Obama? It was all over with the VP question, right? Look at McCain's reaction when he had to talk about why Sarah Palin would be a better president than Joe Biden:

 
Sorry, there was no way that question wasn't partisan to Obama, if only for the fact that McCain picked a stupid running mate and whoops, now he's stuck trying to defend her reform-ness against Biden's years of foreign political experience.
The best he could come up with? "It's time that we had that breath of fresh air coming into our nation's capital and sweep out the old-boy network and cronyism that's been so much a part of it." She is going to sweep you out of office John? Are you trying to hint that if elected, Sarah Palin would kill you to get to number one? Like in Showgirls? Because I'm pretty sure that's what you are saying Mr. Croney.

No. 7 Clem says:

here’s a possible lead to follow…

Joseph Wurzelbacher is a plumber (works with septic tanks) from Ohio .

“Wurzelbacher Brothers” is a septic tank company in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Robert M Wurzelbacher and his wife, both based in Cincinnati have donated regularly to Republicans. They donated the maximum amount allowed to the “FRIENDS OF PHIL GRAMM PAC.”

Phil Gramm was co-chair of John McCain”s presidential campaign and his most senior economic adviser.

A certain Robert M. Wurzelbacher Jr is the son in law of Charles H. Keating Jr. The same Mr. Keating famous for the Keating 5 scandal… in which John McCain was heavily implicated.

All of this could be a coincidence.

A COINCIDENCE WORTH INVESTIGATING.

No. 8 Andrew says:

I thought the whole "Joe the plumber" thing was weird. If you watch the video - Joe asked a pretty good question, Barak gave a pretty good answer.

Take a look here…

Better exchange than anything in the debate.

No. 9 Jana says:

I should have known Joe was "planted" by the McCain campaign….how the hell else would McCain have known so much about a guy who attended an Obama function in Holland, Ohio???? And that is why he kept bringing it up~~~he had it planned all along.

Clem and Jana,
Very interesting points. I'm passing your stuff on.

No. 11 NR Davis says:

People have been digging into the reality of one Samuel J. Wurzelbacher of Holland, OH, since before the debate ended. If the Keating connection is true and *can be proven*, whoa! But people shouldn't get into that without hard evidence.

So far, we do know this. He is proven to be a registered GOPper who works for a plumbing/home contracting company housed in several residences and is not licensed as a plumber (doesn't mean he isn't working as one). He is anti-government and pro-Iraq occupation, so his claim of being "undecided" seems to be quite a stretch. (And he was ready with the oh-so-Steve-Schmidt-like Sammy Davis Jr. remark? Hmmm.) So he appears to be a liar who has no idea about reality, because given the circumstances he says are his lot in life, the Obama plan is better than McCain's for him. That tells me he is an idiot, but that is just this human's opinion.

@ No.3 marie

If you thought that was the best of the debate you are in dire and desperate shape. Any port in a storm, huh?

No. 13 ScrewG.E. says:

Take a good look up two spots, peeps. Yet another full-tilt crazy lib that believes he/she automatically KNOWS whats best for some guy in Ohio which he/she has never met. Idiot? Really? Because somebody asked wonderboy an actual question? Four weeks ago it was ALL ABOUT what magazines Sarah Palin reads, but far be it from the Big O to actually explain his socialist…(oops)did I say that? I live on the other side of change. I live in Illinois. We're broke. Welcome to spreading the wealth around. Joe, if you can read this, run. Your small business instincts are correct. The moron is looking to feed Fedzilla…with your business.
