Seriously, it is nothing more than an interview of a glorified skinhead. Shame on the media.

The guy is a fascist and his 15 minutes are up...

I guess it's no wonder John McCain was so happy to use "Joe the Plumber" as a debate prop last night -- he's a partisan Republican who also happens to be a member of McCain's old friends, the Keating family.

From Martin Eisenstadt:

Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.

Now what would make him think that Obama expected his name mentioned?

note to MSM. Joe the plumber is NOT- repeat NOT- your average American.
I predict Joe's media shelf life will end about 3:00 PM EST today

Go John Go!

The Natural Law Party was founded in 1992 in the United States by a group of educators, business leaders, and lawyers in Fairfield, Iowa who practiced Transcendental Meditation.<1> The Natural Law Party was a transnational political party with national branches in over 80 countries. Joe the Plumber joined this party.

The party based its platform on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's view that natural law is the supreme organizing principle that governs the universe, and that the problems of humanity are caused by people acting against this natural law. The Natural Law Party claimed that it could realign humanity with this organizing principle through techniques such as the practice of Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, and problems would be alleviated.

The various Natural Law Parties disbanded over a period of years from 2001-2006.

Natural Law Party
According to then press secretary Robert Roth,<16> the Natural Law Party was founded in 1992 in the United States by a group of educators, business leaders, and lawyers in Fairfield, Iowa, who desired to elect a national administration that would promote field-tested solutions to the nation's problems. This group chose the academics, Dr. Hagelin and Dr. Michael Tompkins, as its Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates that year, and the same pair won the nomination again in 1996. Hagelin also ran for President in the 2000 Presidential election, being nominated both by the Natural Law Party and by the Perot faction of the Reform Party, which disputed the nomination of Pat Buchanan. Hagelin’s running mate in the 2000 election was Nat Goldhaber, a wealthy businessman who, like Hagelin and Tompkins, was a longtime practitioner of the Transcendental Meditation program.

After a legal battle with the supporters of Buchanan, the Federal Election Commission ruled in September 2000 that Buchanan was the official candidate of the Reform Party and, hence, that Buchanan was eligible for federal election funds. As part of the ruling, the Reform convention that nominated Hagelin was declared invalid, and Hagelin lost the Reform spot on many state ballots to Buchanan. However, Hagelin remained on several state ballots as the Reform Party nominee, due to the independent nature of various state Reform parties, and on the ballot in many other states as the Natural Law Party nominee.

Hagelin's Presidential electoral results:

1992 - Ballot status in 32 states - 39,000 votes - 0.04%
1996 - Ballot status in 44 states - 110,000 votes - 0.1%
2000 - Ballot status in 39 states - 83,000 votes - 0.08%

In the 2004 primary elections, Hagelin endorsed Democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich. In April 2004, the U.S. Natural Law Party officially disbanded its national organization, although a few state parties still remained active.

McSucks campaign has gone off the deep end!
:wtf:

What a douchenozzle.

the guy looks like he works for Blackwater... what a phony

he looks like the guy who yelled 'kill him' at yesterday s palin rally!

This guy is a plant. The fact that this guy is on TV, shows that the media is and always has been for McSame.
The fact that he brings up social security, and not apologizing for being an American shows that he is a Republican.
He's so transparent a bird smacked into him.

*raises eyebrow*

Ah....NOBODY OF CONSEQUENCE

This guy is not a plumber. He says he wanted to buy a plumbing business. Nobody buys a plumbing business. They become a plumber, work for someone else to get their chops, and then start their own plumbing business. I'm sorry, but I have read about too many "coincidences" regarding this guy to buy any of it. This guy is a plant. A very well-fertilized plant.

first palin, now the plumber. I'll take jokes that begin with the letter P for 600.

These are the people I'm surrounded by in Ohio. If you're bald, well that makes you "intimidating". What an asshole. It's going to be so good to speak the words, slowly and deliberately to these morons, "President Barack Obama..." I can't wait to watch their bald heads explode.

There was a news crew in place at his home while he watched the debate. Notice the date on the article.

Debate puts 'Joe the Plumber' in international spotlight

At home last night, Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher watches the presidential candidates debate.
The story of Joe the Plumber -- Joe Wurzelbacher of Toledo, Ohio, suburb of Springfield Township -- became a centerpiece of the early minutes of the presidential debate last night.

And Joe the Plumber became the subject of national and international interest.

Mr. Wurzelbacher, 34, was more interested in taking in the debate than in assessing his place in presidential politics.

Seriously, I was feeling bad for him until then. Lying about WMD's to make war is something to care about.

I knew it had to be a plant one day before the debate and that John brought it up. John McCain is a dishonest sleazy politician. Bush and McCain... ONE in the SAME.
