McC's insistence on clinging to the bs artist "Joe the Plumber" just one more bad call.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

We all know he isn't licensed and isn't a small business person at all and also does not even pay his own taxes- yet McCain STILL insists on parading him as a symbol at rallies.

What/Who does Joe the Plumber really represent?

Self-aggrandizing, phony, underachieving Republican wannabes.

I would be highly insulted when McCain says - You're all Joe the Plumber!

1. He's A Prop...So Is Bible Spice...

Joe didn't pop out of nowhere...this was a lame attempt for Gramps to supposedly "relate" to the common man. It's like Wag The Dog...this dude is right out of central casting...and only there to present a conveluted ideal that not only doesn't exist but is, as you say, a big lie. If it wasn't Joe the Plumber, it'd be Bill the Builder or Dave the Gardener or Fred the Flintstone, but be sure it wouldn't be Jose the Gardener.

Camp Gramps has no substance...no issues...just a rolling circus that has created distractions and cartoon characters along the way to whip up interest. Gramps chose Palin to "freak people out" and thought she's be a PYT...eye candy...another distraction...but it looks like he got more than he bargained for with Sarah Barracuda. She didn't get that name for nothin'.

As a parent, the last thing I'd want my child to be is that loser...ignorant, rude and obnoxious. I'm just insulted with the concept of Gramps sitting in the Oval office.

Cheers...

3. He's the perfect republicon - phony through and through

Ptoooey - the republicons and their corporate media lapdogs fail again in its responsibility to tell the truth.

5. One more reason to hope for an Obama win.

When Obama wins, this greedy jackass will fade back into obscurity.

Right now he's a bigger thing than Britney Spears ever was and he can't even sing or dance!
