Joe The Plumber huddles with congressional aides; 'I Don't Know If The American Public Deserves Me'
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 05:00 PM by Cash_thatswhatiwant


Joe The Plumber yesterday, transitioning from war reporter to political strategist, appeared before congressional aides to offer his two cents on the stimulus plan. Joe is taking a stand against the entire package, claiming that it is just another example of "American government" having its way with the people.

The New York Daily News has subsequently explored the possibility of Joe pursuing public office at any point in the near future. But according to Joe, "I don't know if the American public deserve me, but my son definitely deserves my time now." However, he isn't done giving advice to the GOP:

"It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative," Joe said. "They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done."


And no reason to be subtle, he said, as long as folks inform themselves. "I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white," Wurzelbacher explained. "There's right and wrong."

10. I'll bet a good percentage of his followers were on the dole at one point
You have no many idea how many people who are beneficiaries of the liberal/Democratic programs fancy themselves as conservatives -- or wackier still -- libertarians. It's mind boggling.

5. so what makes
This clown think that he is any kind of political strategist and economic policy guru?

No schooling, experience, public office, consulting, or advisors, and yet "we" might not be worthy of his sage advice?

LMAO!!

8. "I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white," Wurzelbacher explained.
WTF does that mean? Isn't black and white "two sides"?

There's intelligent and there's Joe the Plumber.

Maybe if you did I might have a modicum of interest...or not. What a creature. The GOP really let loose the residents of the dungeons this past election cycle, didn't they?

12. Sam The Scab needs to find a new hobby
Maybe he has time to get a REAL plumber's license and perhaps change his REAL name from Sam to Joe.

24. Hey Joe??
Interesting how no city, state, or federal government officials have snapped you up yet, to serve in an economic, political or legal "advisory" position. But perhaps there is a village needing one somewhere...

29. Let's see, been on the public dole twice...
didn't pay his property tax, (someone else ponied up the tax cash); new truck, (how did he get that?); works for a real plumber, (or did), so he's actually a "plumber's helper"; who paid for his "war correspondent's" trip?

This guy would milk a rat to make a buck, and he is a nobody, a nothing, not even a boil on Limbaughs butt...x(

31. I feel sorry... (not really)
This dude really believes his own hype. He really does.

Pride, dude, pride --- Every plumber I ever met had pride.
