1. I thought it was Joe the UnPlumber?
He apparently hates the idea of tenure for teachers who actually take years to get educated and then must pass licensing examinations and probationary periods.

38. I was noticing that as well.
From the crowd that usually has too many apostrophes. Or should I say apostrophe's? :rofl:

4. Joe the "Plumber" isn't a real plumber,
so I doubt he has a clue what a union is. Any fool of the street can call themselves a "plumber" (if you fix your neighbor's leaky tap for $10, you are a "plumber"), and Joe the Idiot is obviously one of these fakes.

44. My hubby replaced my niece's two toilets.
Does that make him a plumber? I guess not. She fed him rather than paid him. She's tight with her money.

6. why are there no crowd pictures
only close ups of the group, it has to mean they are fudging the numbers to make it seem like there were more people there.

14. When he was in Eau Claire Saturday, he was "greeted"
by about 2,000 protestors. Not bad for a town of 60,000 on short notice.

34. Eau Claire Tea Bagger Event
It seems that the press can never get it right. Local media made it seem like there were at least as many Tea Baggers as there were protesters to the Tea Baggers. Here's my post on Uppity Wisconsin if you want the real story of what happened in Eau Claire, WI last Saturday.

13. When's the last time Joe the 'Plumber' plumbed? 2008?
He is now 'Joe the Political commentator who still dresses like a plumber'. He doesn't do anything unless he is getting paid. Who is paying him to be there?

It's such a joke that idiots like him can still be making money off his stupid ass fake question. He had no intention of buying any business and even if he did, Obama's tax increase would have made NO difference in any decision to buy that business. But yet, here he is, 3 years later, still milking it and not working.

Time to put the jar in recycling.

25. Unfortunately, Walker's bill kills the recycling subsidy
for local communities.
So it's the landfill for that one.

23. Within the past 2 weeks, I received a robocall from joe the plumber
touting walker's budget repair bill. I believe he invited me to one of his rallies but I hung up before getting all the details.

30. Seriously?
Then surely he is being paid to do this. There's no way he'd use his own money to make robocalls.

33. It was the only robocall I received, pro or con.
The television ads here in Milwaukee, though, were nonstop last week. The last one I saw was paid for by tea party express and invited viewers to visit campaigntodefeatobama.com.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IhaXiAOAEs

After watching their ads, I am convinced President Obama's decision to stay away was a good one. They tried more than once to insert him the controversy, even once saying he transported his supporters to Madison to walk with the unions. Anyone paying attention would know their claims are clearly bullshit. (Problem is, though, they never pay attention).

43. Good observation
Yeah, I think it was for the best that he didn't get involved. He's not a candidate anymore, he's the president and getting involved wouldn't be appropriate in spite of what a lot people say. He has excellent political instincts and I think he knew how the right would respond.
