Somebody explain to me how a canidate can go into a neighborhood looking for people to talk to then runs into a guy who asks a perfectly reasonable question and gets an answer that doesn't really make the canidate look too good to the general public.
So what does the party do? They attack the person asking the question, investigate things that have NOTHING to do with the question or answer and this is the party people are supporting?
How exactly does having a plumbers license or belonging to a union have ANYTHING to do with taxing people?
How exactly does back taxes have ANYTING to do with the question or answer?
Why would a news truck be parked in front of this guys house? Why not Rev Right or Bill Aires?
So is that what the dems stand for now? Destroy anyone who asks questions that they don't like instead of debating the topic?
I'm an independant and was undecided until this event.
Yes that is what he does, doing it to his own opponent is getting boring for him.

YOU DON'T NEED A LICENSE.

A master license and journeyman's licenses are required in most states. but that is if only you are an owner or want to get achieve your masters license which takes years.

Obama the socialist parasite.
ROFL, I had to drive this home 1 more time. I still can't believe he is promising 60 million people - 32% of our residents on welfare a check for $500 each. Talk about buying votes.

Left it at that? ROFL, I am not even going to touch on bidens comments.
We don't need a history lesson on what it takes to get a plumber's license.
What we need is some gullible individuals on this forum to believe you were actually an undecided independent and this one stupid issue changed YOUR WHOLE VOTE.
FWIW, you sound pretty good at the bash Obama game to be an independent. How many McCain rants did it take to become a card carrying Obama hater?
So tell us, what do you think of Palin as next potential President? Was there an issue like lipstick smear that made you like her too?
I saw Obama for what he was months ago.

You are so right here. The fault here is all McCains. Again he shows poor judgement. He didn''t investigate this clown at all. I want to own my own business too but having the means to do so is not there for me yet. If the man owes back taxes and doesn't have a licence then his intent to own this business is not there yet. Maybe years down the road. You don't just become a plumber you need to go back to school then do an apprenticeship and after a few years then you get your papers. He's a General Labourer. Not faulting him for dreaming big here but he should be honest about it.

Mod cut He has nothing to do with McCain. Why are you people so scared of that man? This is actually sick and you show your lack of knowledge about the situation. Leave Joe alone. He hasn't done a thing, except ask a question to Obama. Obama answerd him and made the mistake of telling the truth for once. "Spread the wealth!" It had nothing to do with McCain, except for the fact that McCain picked up on Obama's answer and is using it against Obama. Tough luck. That is the way it is. Mod cut

not that this has anything to do with mccain. joe the plumber exposed how bad obama's tax plan is.
he owes $1,200 in back taxes, which any number of things could be the reason. its a simple withholding's issue and a very typical situation. he may not even known about this. its irrelevant regardless.
all he has to do is apply for a license. he has all the experience needed. and just has to take the test.
he can still buy the business and come in as a partner. he can use the current owners license while he is on the process of getting his solidified.
seriously...come on. he is an average guy. NBC's Chief had NO reason to order his network to go after him and to try to discredit him with his journalist goons.
where are the reporters on ayers? or obama's relationships with anyone? or demanding a copy of his passport/tax returns/birth certificate/school records?

Actually I won't vote for him either... I hate to say it but I'll pencil in Ron Paul first before I vote for either one of them since it seems he's the only one who hasn't been a chamelion yet...
I think more people are disgusted with both aprties noiw that the demcrats have run congress for two years with zero results. But they don't see any third party that is not on the firges of society. I think we might see that there was more votes cast in the primaries than will be the general election.Wehn you look at Bushg's rating and then congresses it is evident that peole think the nation ios in poor hands becaue they can't govern and only want to gifht for their specail interest groups. I mean look at the continuing pork bareeled spending in the budget.More thasn ever.
