(9,999 posts)OMG! He mispronounced so many words he sounded illiterate. Yet I'm sure his recent win has his head bigger than Newt's. Well it's clear, he definitely has the idiot vote wrapped up.

Wow, Joe the Plumber. the Republican clown show continues. Maybe they'll end up nominating him for the Presidential run as the only one left standing.

(8,419 posts)not sure why he went back on.
He basically says the same thing as other Republicans, just hasn't learned how to throw in a few decent words and phase things a bit differently.

(2,995 posts)the Norquist "No new tax" pledge and 9-9-9. The 9-9-9 plan requires creating a national sales tax... A NEW TAX.
He can't even avoid a conundrum with two simple-minded platitudes.

(21,925 posts)Everything relates back to plumbing and bathroom functions. It reminds me of Al Bundy, who related everything to shoes and feet.

(40,219 posts)He has limited intellect. I felt kind of sorry for him. The people who backed him did not do him any favors
Auntie Bush
(17,528 posts)He's an ignorant ass and hasn't thought anything out for himself. He's just regurgitating Rethug policy and talking points. He doesn't even understand the 999 bill.
I can't see why Laurence O gives the fool a platform to preform his vile.

(20,166 posts)Didn't he do something like that once to Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin's ex-fiance) when Levi was running for mayor? He asked Levi a series of basic policy questions that showed how out of his league Levi was?

(12,287 posts)in "Game Change" on Sat.? I remember someone talking about a scene with Steve Schmidt when Palin brings Joe the Plumber on the bus. I think they say he's an idiot.

(52,317 posts)kaptur would have a field day with a run-of-the-mill, random republican, because that kind of race is very predictable and she could just do her thing and win.
joe the plunger is a wild card, he may be able to attract an unconventional following because he has an unconventional rise to fame. so while kaptur is certainly the heavy favorite, the race is less predictable.

(6,996 posts)Since he's using catch phrases from GOP losers (Cain's 9-9-9) he might try Christine O'Donnell's too.

(8,965 posts)A personal admission from Sam the Sham that he is not really a plumber.

(959 posts)I wish every time "democrat party" is used by republicans they are corrected in the manner in which Tom Hartmann does it or when Chris Matthews challenged Ron Christie on "Hardball"...perhaps, I'm just being oversensitive.

Would that person beat Joe the Plumber in a scored debate?
I would say yes. I would blindly bet 100 bucks (10 grand if I was a venture capitalist), right now, on yes.
I personally believe that I would "school" him.
