I Am Joe

[wayhenry]

Apparently...only white middle aged men work...? Hmm...interesting.

Guess that's why Obama won.

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

oops--I meant JOHN!

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

Poor Joe-McCain that is!

[rbunyd]

John Mccain and Sarah Palin have a great future on SNL.

[twostepcub]

Joe is either mentally challenged or socially stunted. I go for the later, since it'd be an insult to the former...

[BlackRapidInc]

I'm..........FUCK YOU ALL joe six packs drunk ass motherfuckers!!

[glndrk]

Joe the next Vice-President is Joe too.

[glndrk]

Does this mean that ALL these people think that Barack Obama is an enemy of Israel?!

[fastriderben]

this is the worst ad i have ever seen

[pinoykulet]

say it aint so joe!

[miketwig]

What B.S.; I am Joe and I'm afraid I'll have to pay my employees a living wage. Boo Hoo! Obama wins big and the poor old Joes won't be hurt at all.

[jpbalkenende]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.

God damn republicans are embarassing.

[Mookmaster01]

they should be taxed for making 250,000+ a year, fucking tools

[tjd2002]

Huh?

This video just has a bunch of dudes saying "I am Joe" with sad music in the background.

[raynay1500]

quess what! Joe left mccain hanging hahahaha.

[nsabich]

Vote early! Vote Obama!

[GIVEMESOMEMONEYguy]

GIVE ME SOME MONEY!!!

[truesttest]

In an interview with Katie Couric, Joe the Plumber said, "Obama tap dances around questions like Sammy Davis Jr."

blink blink

Why not like Fred Astaire, America's most famous tap-dancer?

Let's call a spade a spade.

Joe the Racist Skinhead.

[secretagentLee]

I am stupid? This is the dumbest commercial I have ever seen...They need to get on another subject. They have already beaten this horse to death...it is time to find a new one to ride.

[Markmacbike]

This is the worst commercial in the campaign. Really, really bad.

[mggimp]

Where is Tyrone? Yeah, Joe the plumber is some dumb fuck from Ohio who just so happens to look like a skin head! Yes, he resonates well with the racist redneck crowd!

[JohnBach]

I voted for Obama. Joe the Plumber is a dishonest campaign tool since the real Joe the Plumber made $40k and admitted that he was an unlicensed ASSISTANT plumber at that. He wouldn't qualify for a tax increase since it only affects personal INCOME of $250,000 or more. Furthermore, he lied: Im getting ready to buy a company that makes $250,000 to $280,000 a year. Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isnt it? -- Joe the liar.

[hottbod17]

I am a McCain supporter mainly because I do not believe in Obama's tax policy. He has changed the 250,000 benchmark to 200,000 then to 150,000. I also believe that if I work hard for my money. I should be able to keep that money. Education is free. Life is free. It is up to us to make the best for ourselves. Don't depend on Obama to do that for you. I am proud to say I am a supporter of McCain.

[temxh]

If you vote for McCain / Palin...

you are JOE THE IDIOT!!!

[MinaJadeBlog]

Journalists discovered that Joe the plumber did not pay taxes properly and has a not too small amount of debt.

He should take care of that fact instead of criticise Obama. Who I don't think would be a Muslim.

(Besides - there isn't such a thing like a Communist Muslim or a Muslim Communist.)

[IrishQT07]

"Journalists discovered that Joe the plumber did not pay taxes properly and has a not too small amount of debt."

Give me a break chickie poo - you just described a majority of this country. There are PLENTY of people who can't afford to pay their taxes on time and are in debt.

"He should take care of that fact instead of criticise Obama."

Joe asked Obama a direct question about his tax policy. Obama's mistake? He answered honestly - off teleprompter. His true economic agenda was revealed.

[MinaJadeBlog]

Joe must be apparently more educated than Obama.

I just cannot see how could that be that under a Republican's administration all the American economy is completely damaged, while it obviously worked during Clinton's.

[IrishQT07]

I really don't think it has anything to do with Joe being more educated than Obama as far as where he went to school. However I think Joe did the research on what Obama was proposing and used what he found out in practical application - in real life. Obama's ideas sound wonderful in theory - but when it comes to practical, real life application, someone has to pay the bill - the hardworking taxpayers.

[IrishQT07]

Also keep in mind that for the past 2 years, we did have a Republican President, but we had a largely Democratic Congress who consistently shot down the notion of placing regulations on the money lenders.

[IrishQT07]

In addition, there were many, many people who took out home loans that they knew they couldn't afford. And yes - you can blame the predatory lenders, but the blame also has to be placed on those folks who knew they couldn't afford something, and yet purchased it anyway. It was an irresponsible move on the part of both parties.

Both Republicans AND Democrats should take the blame for the economy because EVERYONE in some way or another had a hand in it.

[MinaJadeBlog]

Joe does tremendous efforts indeed - to find out how to avoid pay taxes. Who pays it instead of him? I suppose the other, less successful taxpayers...

[IrishQT07]

If you watch his Good Morning America interview the day after his conversation with Obama, Joe acknowledges that he knows he will always have to pay taxes. He has never said that he doesn't want to pay any taxes. What he was concerned about was the tax increase that Obama was proposing.

[IrishQT07]

Many small businesses have enough trouble eeking by as it is without having to pay more money to the government.

I have worked for many small businesses and have seen first hand the importance of balancing expenses and income. If there isn't enough income (because there are too many expenses), people lose their jobs, the quality of the company output suffers, and they lose customers. I have watched 2 of the businesses I've worked for (both family run) go under because of this fact.

[IrishQT07]

"If there isn't enough income (because there are too many expenses)"

I'm sorry - I worded that wrong. What I meant was if the expenses grow larger than the income

[MinaJadeBlog]

He said he had to pay taxes, but he did not do that! As for his tax, over a thousand of dollars were missing! All the world is laughing at McCain's new ally...

I would like to see an American president who would not increase taxes, after eight years of conservative leading destroyed the economy of the US.

[IrishQT07]

I'm interested to know where you got your information about Joe's tax situation. That's something I've not heard about.

And again, we may have had a conservative leader for 8 years, but the prior two years we were under the additional leadership of a Democratic majority in Congress. 

Please consider that before you place ALL the blame for EVERYTHING on the shoulders of the Republicans.

[IrishQT07]

And by the way - if you want an American President who would not increase taxes, then you definitely don't want Obama in office.

[miketwig]

Joe the Plumber is in arrears on his taxes. It's been widely reported, just google for it. There's also some other things that show that Joe isn't someone you'd want to work for.

[MinaJadeBlog]

I was not the one who got the information, it was the media. Journalists who find out that he has a debt about 1200$ which is not that insignificant. What a trustable American worker...

And what about the other six years?

I cannot see such a great flourishing wealth under Republican leadership.

[lthelementl]

The funny thing about this whole "I am Joe" thing is that McCain actually got people to believe in this stuff. I guess I could go out to the street and tell people to vote for me if you work, eat, shit, sleep, and want (to give me your) money because you like me okay? Lol... I would be the next President.

[Wewillgetitdone]

I am Joe the idiot, and I will vote for McCain because he will take my tax money and give it to the big corporations who will then take my home, my car, my job, and my future as it suits them. I want McCain to deregulate industries so there is no protection for my family from any corporations which think they can get a higher profit from ripping me off. I want McCain to privatize Social Security and give all the money I invest in my retirement to the corporations so they can make it disappear.

[crow511]

this is by far the worst political ad i have ever seen.

besides, this "Joe the Plumber" guy, was hired to stand out there and talk Obama about his fake issues that don't even exist within him and be on TV that day. i don't remember what his actually profession was but i definitely know what he isn't.

[IrishQT07]

Prove it

[crow511]

i shouldn't have to prove it to you. you should look it up yourself if your curios.

[IrishQT07]

Ahh spoken like someone who is all rhetoric (words) with nothing to back him/her up (substance). Hmmm...sounds kind of like your candidate.

Before you open your mouth and spew your bile, make sure you have sources to back up your claims - so you can...uh..."educate" the rest of us.

Otherwise, your comments have no merit and essentially mean nothing. They are just taking up space - kind of like you.

[crow511]

well, it's not my fault you didn't look it up. in fact, they do mean something because this is our world and this is the only thing we really have. if we just let it go to waste, i think you know the outcome. yet again, it's not my fault you are so close-minded.

[crow511]

one more thing, do you really think talking trash over the internet will help you or your "candidate" in winning the election or even proving a point? Oh right. i forgot I was the one who was a waste of space, if you feel so confident you are doing the right thing. by the way, he is not my candidate. i am not even the legal age to vote and even if i did i would vote third party or not at all. thank you for your "special", time that can't be "wasted". really, thank you.

[truesttest]

Christians believe a long-haired, bearded Jew in sandals will descend from the clouds on judgement day to choose who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. Now, I love Jews, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Atheists, you name it...I even have a spot in my heart for Joe the Plumber...but if God said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Why is Jesus going to send some folks to hell? Why can't the afterlife be like life was like before we were conceived? It seems more logical.

[ars243]

i'am joe the scab that owe's back taxes. i will pay my employee's substandard wage's. so i can have my butt crack bleached. that way the oil companies dont have an ugly old butt to screw. drill baby drill..

[marc768]

I am a paid actor

[dorseymarshall]

I am Joe the Plumber.

I don't have a plumbing license, either.

[shakazzolo]

I ......... am an ass!

Couldn't resist.. sorry

[jozecuervo]

Nice... 3 out of 3 Joes are aging white guys with ailing businesses. Can we get a black Joe, or maybe even just one "Jose"?

[ranchoforte]

nice math. actually, there's four guys in the vid. and the first one is a "Jose." like that should matter.

[cinead88]

The Columbian IS an Jose, you DiNC!

[craigsoloistheone]

What a bunch of crap. Anyone who votes for John McCain is mentally ill.

[cinead88]

Perhaps, but anyone who votes for Obama is a mentaly ill RACIST! Choose your poison, poisoner.

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

not mentally ill? But easily fooled.

[cinead88]

Fooled by BIG BROTHER next Wednesday? NO Republicans will be watching that leftist propoganda. Thank GOD for DVDs, saved by the very entertainment industry that has its nose so far up Obam's butt they can tell you what brand of mouthwash he needs. Jesus loves you, this I know...

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

Yes He does.That's what is so sad & very wrong about what is happening w/Obama & how they follow him blindly-no matter what comes out about him-they don't CARE.They Care not he perpetuates the pre-meditated murder of babies-& then if they r born living says don't aid them!-Destruction of marriage-He mocks the Word of God and lies as he says there is many ways 2 God-there is only ONE way- Jesus Christ Son of the Living God"I AM The Way the Truth and the Life, NO one comes to the Father BUT BY ME"

[cinead88]

Well...I guess we've gotta stop it with a massive vote for McCain/Palin then. Islam teaches that Jesus' death on the cross was a sham, with a body-double dying in his place while Jesus watched from concealment. I have a real hard time accepting that Obama grew up Islamic but changed to Christianity later on; the two faiths are diametrically opposed.

[cinead88]

Considering that rev. Wright is the preacher who converted him, It can only be to a black-racist church at best, and it took a crow-bar and several attempts to get him to break away from that church, so I dont think Obamas Christianity is of the true faith; if anything, its part of a political costume meant to draw-in Christian votes. IF he gets elected, I can only imagine a socialist agenda, which is aGod-less approach to social control.

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

you are absolutely right about that. I, in fact? Don't believe he is Christian at all. He says there are many ways to God the Father. There is only One Way. Through The Son. Jesus said he who has seen me has seen the Father and in John 14:6 He says-: I AM the Way the truth and the Life there in NO other way to the Father BUT by Me."

[cinead88]

Indeed! Obama's learned to talk the talk so smooth and fast that no wone will actually notice he's not walking the walk. On the other hand, Sarah palin's walked the walk all her life and it has led her righteously to where she is today. Unfortunately the woods are full of Obama-type clones, so she's got her work cut out for her and I guess it's up to us to help her move that mountain.

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

Yes. You are right again my new friend in Christ. Obama so brings to mind those words--"wolves in sheep's clothing?" Except to me? He is a pretend "sheep" in clearly wolfish apparel. But as for our Sarah? Prayer can move those mountains in the pathway of a Believer and obedient follower of Our Lord Jesus. God Bless you. McCain-Palin 2008!

[aestus]

One of the scariest comments I've ever read.

[whomtheSonsetsfree]

Why "one of the scariest comments I have ever read?"

[cinead88]

Obama's like those 19 (sans 1) terrorists who boarded flights on 9/11. Everyone thought they were kosher too, until they started slitting stewardesses throats and knifing pilots. Obama's too much like a set-up, with his no experience, invisible donators, spread the wealth, Ilamic up to age 26 or so, then converted to "Christianity" vis a black-racist hate-mongering "preacher".

[johntandboots]

The issue is Obama he is a Islamic terrorist pawn in sheep's clothing wake up America where do you think he got all his money? From community organizing ? NO how about unscrupulous special interest groups, countries that have a Islamic terrorist agenda and why not use a minority to rally behind him. The terrorist will infiltrate our Country The best way to destroy a country is to infiltrate its government and at the top of the list ....PRESIDENT. where did he get his money?

[yujidesu]

Wow, you can't be serious right? You sound like one of the most uninformed people ever, and an idiot. Islamic terrorist agenda? LOL. I don't like either candidate, but be real. I can tell your a starch republican by the way you think, good job your party did us... nice little deficit we have, great economy. Stop typing so fast and educate yourself first so you don't come off looking like a fucking idiot.

[cinead88]

Obama lives in a million dollar home, and spends $4 to $8 million on a half hour TV spot on so many channels that he can only mean to preempt ALL other programming and expand his captive audience, so he preen himself in front of the masses, like Big Brother in Orwell's 1984. Haven't read it? Please do so, BEFORE you vote! Pick up Orwell's Animal Farm while you're in the stacks!

[JEMBRY754]

taxes on th

[JEMBRY754]

taxes on the rich will only flow down to middle class,them to the poorer people

[morganseathomson]

oh, ohhhh my heart strings. That music. That sense of community. That Joe, such a good snowclone.

Check that phrase out on wikipedia if you don't know it.

[kibbleznblitz]

I am NOT Joe.. I am a PC!

[kibbleznblitz]

the last guy looked like Don Vito

[passtheicecreamforme]

good video. Do your homework!!! Everyone will get increased taxes if Obama gets in unless they don't pay taxes anyway. Quit buying into the Democrats Deceit and listen to the Republicans Reviews. Do you own review and you'll find out what each candidate is standing for.

[cravesomething]

hey Joe! :)

Obama/Biden

[kelseywall]

These people all sound mildly retarded. I can't say fully retarded, because that would be an insult to retarded people.

[MurasakiYugata]

*LOL*

[Wewillgetitdone]

Like any of those places makes over $250,000!?! Give me a break! They would all benefit more from Obama's tax plan. McLame should change his motto to "I am a Joke!" That would be more accurate!

[cinead88]

You relate to them as an EMPLOYEE! When their taxes go up, they can't afford everyone on the payroll, so they cut back on wages (Swartzenegger's solution), or let someone (or two, or three) go. Obama IMAGINES forcing businesses to STAY in the US, provide health care, and pay higher taxes (because they are PATRIOTIC, says Biden). Their response will be to relocate completely OUT OF THE COUNTRY, hire workers in the countries they relocate to, and just give Obama/Biden the much deserved finger.

[erik7socr]

so, all these people are either making at least $250,000 a year, or they are in a position to buy their company, and then start making at least $250,000 a year.

And I'm supposed to relate to them??

Because if they are like the actual Joe the Plumber, he will be getting a tax cut under Obama's plan.

I am Joe too!

McCain 08. Good video.
