not even close
BRAD
It just might be
JOEL
No…
DANIEL
i don’t think Joe the Plumber has endorsed anybody.
But he has admitted that even if he followed through on his plans, his taxes wouldn’t be raised under Obama’s policies.
hahaha
FRANKLIN
Joe is a statement for the middle class and blue collar Americans. Senator McCain is arguably more honorable than Powell as it is. Joe was the bigger win.
ALEXIS
Endrosement? Anyways, are you serious with this? That’d be like if my gardener”s endorsement meant more than Colin Powell’s. No.
MARTY
I doubt it, since he is not a licensed plumber and therefore not in any union, **** cracks notwithstanding.
VICENTE
Joe the plumber is no trophy, he is behind on his taxes, doesnt make anywhere near the 250000, and cant afford to buy the plumbing company he talks about…
MAJOR
well, i hear the **** ***** vote can be silenced with thongs…i mean throngs of political ads.
CLAYTON
Not sure but the other four previous SOS sure didn’t hurt.
TREVOR
Absolutely,because Obama showed exactly what he is all about,
HUBERT
Yes, Joe represents the working class American. When they see Obama and Biden criticize him, they are criticizing every hard working American that dreams of having more, being more.
Colin Powell was once a great man and a die hard Republican. He has never been aligned with any Democrat policy stance so one must think that his endorsement of Obama had little to do with the issues and everything to do with race. IF this is the truth, then that’s very sad and it makes me lose respect for a man that I once thought the world of. Had he run for President, I would have voted for him over any candidate.
STEVEN
John McCain quit mentioning him when it was discovered that he is Joe Wurzelbacher, the son of Robert Wurzelbacher, who happens to be the son in law of Charles Keating. Charles Keating, if you remember, is John McCain’s old buddy.
Both Keating and Robert Wurzelbacher served time for fraud.
BILLY
Joe (or Sam, his real name) was a GOP shill. His “endorsement” was a political stunt with a partisan agenda. His original question to Obama was disingenuous because he admitted “I wanted to trip him up.” He was already a committed McCain supporter (and so was his father-in-law, but that’s a whole other story. Google “Keating Five someday). Sam would most certainly have benefited from the Obama tax plan.
If Americans compare that to General Powell’s endorsement we need to reevaluate our priorities.
GORDON
IMO, Joe the Plumber was a joke. If this is the best that John McCain can do to attempt to show that he relates to the average, middle-class American it says more about McCain than this overnight celebrity. Joe the Plumber nor Joe Six-Pack represent me. And what is their obsession with the name Joe? It makes me think of Joe Schmoe, the term that people use to refer to someone as a nobody. What is up with that?
REGINALD
Even Joe the Plumber has become an embarrassment to the McCain campaign. He was a plant by McCain’s people and now is backfiring. He is not an actual licensed plumber and is now in hot water for being a tax cheat. The plumbers union is not happy with his script either.
They would have had better luck with Larry the cable guy, instead!
ULYSSES
Well, let’s see if we can sort this out for you…
Only_raised_By_mAMA’s great crusade is supposed to be helping the
Joe the Plumbers of this world, so stacking that endorsement up against
an elitist super-power-unto-himself’s endorsement…
In a vacuum this would appear to be a clear McCain victory, going behind
enemy lines as it were, and slitting their throats as they sleep.
Outside of a vacuum it’s meaningless. Then we can look at endorsements
of four other Secretaries-of-State for McCain. Stack old Ret. Gen. Alexander Haig up against Powell. I’ll bet Haig would kick Powell’s *** in hand-to-hand right now as both sit. I’ll bet Haig would kick Powell’s *** in any sort of debate about current affairs military, civilian or any other realm you’d care to chuse, save possibly being A ****** NEGR0 WHO WILL VOTE FOR ANY OTHER NEGR0 (even if he’s not really, only an afro-arab pretending to be NEGR0).
Does that answer your question? I hope so–don’t make me type yet another of my ten page mini-opuses…
Powell reminds me of a certain character from the hilarious movie, Mars Attacks–can you guess which one?
OSCAR
The average American can see that Obama is lying when he says no tax increase for 95% of us. He plans to tax business. Where does he think those taxes are going to go? STRAIGHT to the consumers. How deceptive can he be? It will be the BIGGEST windfall of taxes paid to the government EVER. The heaviest burden WILL be to the poor. They pay the highest percentage of their income to necessities. A backdoor way to sneak a NATIONAL SALES TAX into the scene. Libs have long considered this tax as REGRESSIVE.
LELAND
Absolutely, any endorsement by a relative of Charles Keating trumps any other McCain endorsement. Loyalty comes before God, Country and Honor.
Note: Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher from Toledo Ohio is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Robert Wurzelbacher is 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.

First let’s get one thing perfectly clear: Being someone’s “close” relative has
little or nothing to do with having similar politics or being in cohoots with
that person’s former cronies.
I have a “double cousin” who will not even speak to me but will certainly
speak ill of me to other relatives (blamed me for something he was actually
doing, for instance) because he so-loves jewsreal and I’ve put my foot
down and won’t read one more book on his “suggested reading list” until
he reads Assault on the Liberty by James Ennes.
That relationship means NOTHING, especially since McCain, after
having his little conference with the prosticutors and finding out the
details of what his friend had gotten himself into could not and
DID not help him. It was duly investigated by the congress and
McCain was found to have done something which gives an *appearance*
of impropriety but that there was no actual impropriety. I’m sure there are
few here who could say they’d never done anything which could
be interpreted the wrong way while simply trying to do a friend a
favor.
The real relationship we need to concentrate on here is a former general
officer in the United States military and former Secretary of State crossing
over from his supposed party affiliation to endorse the presidential
aspirations of another supposed NEGR0–and certainly a “person of
color” as he, Powell is, and see that the race relationship is the
one we need to be focusing on here, just as Rosebud pointed out.
While the butt-crack Joe incident may well have been a staged
bit of political street-theater, the principle is still the same. Bro’bama has
drawn an arbitrary line to create socio-economic polarization which
he can use to his advantage and the devil-take-the-hindmost. Many
actual bona fide “Joe Butt-cracks” out there aspire to be more than
they are–that’s how people move from what Bro’bama wants to arbitrarily
designate “middle class” to “RlCH-BlTCH”–the people Bro’bama and
those of his ilk love to hate–except when they’re like some of his
supporters who are billionaires.
The American Dream is for the hard-working and SMART working
to attempt to put themselves on easy-street one day. Do many of them
make it? More here than most other places. Bro’bama would rather
confine the poplation to “middle class” on the basis of the idea that,
well, you can live a comfortable life in the middle-class after all, can’t
you? So that should be good enough for everyone.
Unfortunately as the people Bro’bama wants to tax out of existence
become fewer and further between the near half of the cost of running
the government borne by the Evil Rich–especially the bloated top-heavy government which
will be the inevitable result of his party becoming so powerful as they’re
threatening to be again–will fall heavier and heavier on the middle class.
They’ll become the new upper-class and the latest target of these neo-bolshevist hacks, and the downward spiral will be full underway.
I don’t aspire to become wealthy. I never have. That doesn’t mean I
think I ought to limit those who do aspire to become wealthy from
becoming so. To the extent I’ve ever had “normal” jobs they’ve been in the
employ of people trying to claw their way to wealth. They were driven
by it—tempted by it, and that’s why they had a job for me when I wanted
a steady income and something to do for awhile that was constructive
and gainful. If any of these individuals had been complacent to aspire to be merely comfortably middle-class they’d have invested in the stock market instead of more employees and more equipment to make the employees more profitable/productive.
So to hell with Bro’bama and his class Cold War. If Colin Powell, current occupation ****** NEGR0 wants a campaign that’s too “polarizing” he’s just endorsed one–one that pits anyone of any race against his fellow man who may just have a little more ambition or a little more wealth won from the sweat of his brow.
So the actual bigot campaign just got the endorsement of a bigot
so they can help set us all at each other’s throats over an arbitrary
income figure which means NOTHING in regard to which of these
competing world-views one would be interested in.
Whoopee! Colin Powell, ONE former Secretary of State endorsed an afro-arab pretending to be a NEGR0 to try to garner the NEGR0 vote.
Meanwhile McCain’s got the endorsement of three former Secretaries of State and one zionazi fifth-columnist who made it that high in our government. That doesn’t count though, because the afro-arab pretending
to be a NEGR0 has played the race-card from the bottom of the deck and falsely accused the McCain campaign of being racists.
You know, this used to be a great country. That was before someone gave the mag–oh look! Ya-jew came up with a new trick–cutting off our posts before they’re finished!—that was before someone gave the Magwai something to eat and drink after midnight.
MAJOR
I belive that every candidate will do their best to serve the country, but some actions will benefit specific citizens. It’s up to the American voters to decide if McCain is really the best candidate.
MORTON
Joe-Sam the Unlicensed Plumber is not a great endorsement for McCain.
Joe the Plumber isn’t really a licensed plumber, nor is his ability to buy a plumbing business where he’d make $250,000 a year anything more than a pipe dream no matter who is President (pipe dream, plumber… that’s fitting!) but I’d like to play in his fictional world for a little while.
I’m Joe the Plumber, and I just bought a plumbing business. I’m worth $250,000 a year… at least, I think I am.
Scenerio 1:
John McCain is President, who arguably may give us more of the same, more of the Bush policies.
I open my plumbing business, and I hire some employees. That’s nearly impossible because of the John McCain/George Bush economy, but I created my fictional paradise where I make $250,000 a year, so I’m sticking to it.
I make $250,000 a year, and I get the same tax cut I got under Bush. But my employees — I have to pay for my employees health care, and the cost just skyrocketed because McCain is going to tax my employee’s health benefits! It’s a shame, because that means I’m going to have to lay off Frank, a great employee and a terrific worker, but he has diabetes, and he’s just too expensive to insure.
The economy isn’t so great. As time goes on, I realize I’m not actually making $250,000 a year, but that’s okay, because McCain gave me a tax break.
But now, I’m getting fewer and fewer phone calls because people are just letting their leaky faucets and their drippy showers go. See, the average guy didn’t get as much of a tax break from McCain, so now, my customers, who don’t make nearly $250,000, can’t afford my services. I have to lay off a few more of my people. I feel bad about that, until a phone call makes me feel worse: my former employee Frank lost his kidneys due to untreated diabetes. He’ll need dialysis for life.
Switch scenes. Obama is President.
He raised my taxes, and I’m pretty mad about that. I was making $250,000 a year, but after a $2,000 tax increase, I’m making $248,000 a year. Can I live and run my business on $248,000 a year?
Well, Obama did cut the costs of health insurance for my employees, so I actually have a lesser burden there, and Frank can get that diabetes treatment at a cheaper cost. I’m grateful, because he’s a good worker. I want to keep his health strong! I actually have more money now thanks to my decreased cost of paying for my employees health care, so I can actually give them a small raise, well deserved. Besides, another new plumbing business opened up down the road and I don’t want them stealing Frank. Those headhunters are sharks!
Now, I’ve noticed that my phone is ringing off the hook. May be it’s the tax breaks that all my customers are fixing their leaky faucets and their broken pipes using the tax break check Obama just sent them. I only wish he hadn’t raised my tax… but, hey, I’m too busy to care about that.. I’m making money… I think this year I might actually make $300,000 instead of $250,000, with all the repairs I’m making, (darn, I might have to pay $2,500 in extra taxes, bringing me down to $297,500!) because all the people who are customers of mine and who got their tax check from Obama.
Poor Joe the Plumber. Obama raised his taxes. Spread the wealth around. What a bad thing!

Joe the Plumber–hands down. He’s just a regular guy who asked a question. Isn’t anyone outraged at how he has been chastised because he simply asked The Chosen One a single question? Of course he’s worried about taxes….he couldn’t even afford the measly $1200 bill. This is no Willie Nelson tax evader hee. Those of you who are saying that he can’t even afford the business are so out of touch with how these guys work. The apprentice doesn’t fork out 250K up front, he works his way into “taking over” the business when the boss retires, (which at some point would mean obtaining his own contractor’s license). I don’t know one guy who has his own license and works for someone else! Joe didn’t say that he was buying the business next week. Too many assumptions made here. Geez.
It is absolutely ridiculous that the media makes no mention of the endorsement of the 4 other former Secs of State. If you heard what Powell said, he had absolutely nothing bad to say about McCain. He couldn’t; in fact, he called McCain “his good friend.” Guess that’s different than being a “brutha.” That just made me see Powell in a totally new & different way. A racist, himself. I thought he was above that, and I am so very saddened by this.
Too bad for McCain that he is Mr. Nice Guy. There are soooo very many questionable things about Obama. First and foremost, the worship of young people he is so accepting of says it all about this guy’s character. It’s sick! Obama’s personal and business associations would disqualify him from working for the FBI, and there are people who are going to vote for him to be our President? I can’t believe that. And why, oh why, is it okay with Charlie, Katie, and the cast of The View that he sat for 20 years in that pew, and brought his family, those two beautiful little girls, to be indoctrinated into Rev. Wright’s message of ****? I would never subject my children to such. Ever! Could you imagine the news if that had been any white person with a white preacher, leading an uashamedly and unapoligetically white church, which is true to it’s Mother Continent? Zieg-Heil!!!! Now THAT would make the daily news.
The media is so racially biased! They are the racists! And their guilt is holding Obama the Messiah up so he appears to the sheeple to be walking on water. Can I get a DUH on that one????
REGINALD
Oh yea, a man who does not even have a plumber’s license is really a good role model for all of us in America. How can he compete with General Colin Powell. That is so ridiculous that McCain got desperate and did what he can to win more votes.
PHIL
like someone said here, it is like my gardener endorsing , how can you compare a no one with a general ?
