[guywalker29]

Reapin Leapin Batman, close your doors and windows,it's a full moon and they've let em all out for Halloween. Boo

[guywalker29]

Bush took the money, mr. reaping leaping lunatic. Bush borrowed billions from China and then gave everything he could to Haliburton and Enron buddies on Wall Street. He's the guy in with the Communists borrowing money and putting us in debt with them making us answerable to a Communist country. When Bill Clinton was in they were going to remove the National Debt Clock in NYC. Now, they are adding a digit. Do you know what that digit is, Mr. Leaping Reaping Nuthouse? Come on, tell the class.

[maXXXXXpower]

Hey, can I quote you? The first two sentences are telling like it is. Man, I'd like to use it.

[ReapingJustice]

sure ride it like the tide, hard and high!

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

Joe Wurzelbacher is a fraud...he's not even a licenced plumber!!!!

KKK skinhead plant...

[KillBilly123]

Really ? Where did you hear that! I heard about that joe the plumber is not even an plumber!

[dayglowgreendoor]

I drove my McLexus to the McMall after leaving my McMansion. I admire McBush because he has 8 McMansions. It's too bad that I'm getting McForclosed on because my stocks got McBushed. Now I have to live in my McLexus with my McDog and try to pay McAlimony to my McWife who lives in a McCondo with my McKids. I'm voting for McBush and McQualin, because someday I wants to be just like McJoe the McKeating McPlumber.

[MooseOfReason]

Can we pander it? Yes we can!

[gmcjetpilot]

Joe plumber is registered republican SAM, Samuel Wurzelbacher and is Charles Keatings grandson of the Keating 5 fame (McCain took bribes but only got his hand slapped for BAD judgment).

What plumber makes $250k. 90% small business make less. A 3% bump & giving a tax cut to 95% of the people is not socialism.

Tax records show Joe mad $40k in 2006, so he will benefit. So why make 1/4 million, make a million a year and 3% will not matter.

LOL the fasicst GOP liars strike again.

[thecatatemyhomework]

STOP SPREADING RUMORS. He is not related to Keating in any way. He DOESN'T make $250,000. He's CONSIDERING purchasing a BUSINESS that will earn $250,000. Stop using liberal communistic tactics of smearing a person who says something that you don't like, in an attempt to silenc him. LIBERALS ARE DESPERATE LIARS.

[abasi2008]

how can he buy a business when he owes 1000s in taxes for several years?

[gmcjetpilot]

Stop spreading rumors about Ayers, Acorn, abortion, muslim & terrorist, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Not related to Charles Keating, prove it.

He could NEVER afford a business because he has tax liens, made $40k and loans are gone thanks in part to GOP, Iraq, deregulation. (blame about 60-80% GOP, 20-40% Dem on the melt down, fanny/fred sub primes are only 20% of all of them).

I'm not liberal or Dem ass hole so FU. He & Palin can talk all they want because they lie and help Obama.

[hkjonus]

this guys NOT buying any business anytime soon. He can't even pay his $1200 taxes he has now. The "Class War" is being played on him! He's low econ class, but he's fighting for some other class. Sloppy Joe Plumb Dumb...

[LiberalshateAmerica]

gmc- When obama lets the Bush tax cuts expire dont come crying to us!

[gmcjetpilot]

You might be right but cutting interest, cutting taxes (for some) & giving out rebates to people, telling them for their part in the war SHOP & printing more money doesn't work. You can't start a 7 yr, 3 trillion dollar war, while giving the RICH tax cuts. EVEN MCCAIN SAID THAT WHEN HE WAS STILL ALL MAVRICKEY. He's a desperate old man wanting the ult pwr trip. On Letterman tonight he was going MY 1st EXECUTIVE ORDER BLAA BLAA. I feel sorry for him; his hate for Obama is palpable.

[gmcjetpilot]

Clinton's econ? surplus, jobs, peace & tax was higher, what Obama wants to return to. I fail to see how income over $250,000 taxed at a marginal rate 3% more is armageddon. I doubt those revenues are enough. I personally would be happy with no tax cuts, we can't aford it. We need to cut Gov 40%, get jobs back in USA & off foreign oil. The military spending is ludicrous, open ended contracts w/ no cap. WE'RE OUT OF IRAQ, and FUCK any of you Chicken Hawk pussies that say WHITE FLAG Traitor. Biteme

[hkjonus]

Its amazing how the rich can keep conning the wanna-be-but-never-will-be rich, into supporting their self serving policies. Hey Joe, you aint never gonna see a 1/4 mill in your life, so start wakin up man!

[bbmyls2go]

John Gibson points out at 1:55 that Joe the Plumber is unpatriotic!

Joe: "one of the best countries in the world"

John: (correcting his own interview subject) "THE greatest"

Joe: (embarassed because he came across sounding like a realistic putz)  "heh-heh, THE greatest country in the world".

FOXNEWS - WE SCRIPT THE NEWS, YOU FALL FOR IT

[TruthTodayAlways]

Obama voters are brainwashed.

67% of small businesses earn over $250,000 and will pay higher taxes under Obama's tax plan.

How will that create business expansion and jobs.

When the govt. increases taxes on businesses it gets less business expansion.

When the govt. decreases taxes on businesses it gets more business expansion.

[bbmyls2go]

the average small business OWNER, however, does NOT earn over $250,000

but ole Joe is like big oil, he doesn't want his corporate profits taxed.

trickle down only works for weak bladders, not the American economy.

[AirborneIdentity]

i don't even know this guy and i hate him already lol

[Eyeris28thD]

"I'll Eat the Bill if you tell me something better about Obama"

Way to Run a Company asshole. FUCK GREEDY JOE, I bet He over charge that client too.

[ToddonCapeCod]

He's in the flushing business.

Seems you need some flushing too.

Asshole

[Digita7RedruM]

In case noone has noticed... OBAMA IS GOING TO RAISE HIS OWN TAXES, AS WELL AS MCCAIN'S. John McCain doesnt want any of you to take his wife's money. No matter what people! How will he pay for his 9th vacation house? or for his 14th car?? You people are in route to poverty because that is the way "god" wants it. Say it aint so Joe!**wink**wink**

[Angrygumballl]

And Joe doesn't think Hicks are intelligent people.

[Angrygumballl]

This Joe guy doesn't even own a company. He is a pro and is full of shit.

Did you hear that? Joe doesn't think America is the greatest country in the world.....

[showmelight]

Can you tell which way John Gibson is leaning? I don't know anything about the guy but this whole Obama "star-struck" nonesense just seems like a way for people like Gibson to cover up the candidate's popularity.

I hate bias on both sides.

[steven7838]

This Joe guy doesn't sound like a plumber, he sounds like a pro. Hmmmm. Regardless I think Obama lost the "Joe the Plumber" vote after last night's debate.

[selfmademan305]

Fuck Joe the Shit Pumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[i2455]

Joe does not make 250k...but if he bought the company that he works for he could make 250k...out of this money he has to pay his help,pay insurances, buy equipment,save for slow times so that he can pay his employees.

[victormr68]

I am not a politician but to a what McCain has afraid? To pay more taxes? The fact is he is looking at his own interest not at yours or mine. To me he is an old person with old ideas I want the best for my country not to get stuck in old fashion ideas we need young people with a vision to the future not to the war. I want the best for your family and my family. John McCain is our vision to the future to me is a vision of our country destruction.

[zizzyswig]

So McCain mentioning Joe was planned and coordinated with right-wing radio. After all this "interview" happened BEFORE the debate. I doubt this is a real interview, more like scripted propaganda.

[knightd12]

It figures ...... This is a FOX NeWS interview. What da hell is Joe complaining about? This guy makes over $250,000 a year! Just pay up Joe....and SHUT UP!

[victormr68]

That's an Republican strategy use Joe as a victim but what about the rest of Joe neightbors that not make 250,000 dollars a year. I love my country but John McCain right now is not a good future to our country. God Bless America.

[Obama4Unitydotcom]

I think Joe is more concerned about his income than how his tax would help build USA to be the finest place on earth to live with better health-care system, updated infrastructure etc... for us and our great grand children. Look at our outdated airports, roads, hospitals, schools etc.... Nobody likes to pay tax, but it's the only way to make America be the America we want to see, strong, rich and caring!

[Obama4Unitydotcom]

Well, Europeans (in Germany, Sweden, France, Norway etc...) do it and it works! They also got the best health-care system and infrastructure in the world. This could be achieved only through higher Tax Cuts from those who earn most, for money doesn't rain. Joe should node out that his customers (those who don't earn much) can only afford to use his service, if they get a tax relief.

[erikkz]

Republican bias radio?

If it isn't I'm sorry, but this is how it sounds for somebody from The Netherlands.

[ramonaji08]

Who cares about this? I mean, really. Seriously.

Unbelievable. This is supposed to make us forget the war, the economy, the lies, the corruption? Obviously, Joe's more to the right and he's fine. But it doesn't really matter.

[rickablack]

esad

[MooseOfReason]

Might as well have the candidates talk about Bob the Builder.

[darkwolf228]

Bob the Builder and Joe the Plumber should start a construction firm.

[a1mint]

The whole Joe-the-plumber thing makes no sense. You get taxed on income AFTER expenses. If the business has 250+K left over AFTER all the expenses including any salaries and overhead, Joe wouldn't be worried at all.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

a1mint- Joe will make over 250,000 for himself. Look at it this way, if you make more than me than you should pay a MUCH higher rate than I. How do you like that idea?

[a1mint]

If I make 250K per year, after expenses, I wouldn't be worried very much about having to pay a higher rate.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

a1mint- I wasnt talking about 250k, If you make 2 times as much as me you should pay a much higher rate right?

[kittygreeneyes1]

I think one should. I make much more than that and think that people who make more should have higher taxes. Even after paying those higher taxes, I am still very wealthy!

[Upwayataoldotcom]

Kitty: Although you are quite happy to hand over the money you've earned to the government, if the government would simply CUT the wasteful SPENDING, raising taxes would not even be up for debate.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

kitty- obama has never voted for a tax cut, he voted to raise taxes 72 times but never for a cut. PS: You are wealthy? Yeah and I bet you fought in Iraq also?

[Eyeris28thD]

Humm, I bet Shawn Hannity told you that.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

eyeris28thd- I bet bin laden taught you to hate America, same thing asshat

[a1mint]

More likely than not, you get rich because others make that possible for you.

You owe something.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

a1mint- Really? Think about every dollar you earn, did someone do the work for you? No person ever did my work for me, I can say I have earned every dollar myself.

[a1mint]

Others create a market that you indirectly benefit from.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

a1mint- My clients make money when they use my service, I make money when they hire me, the guy at the home depot makes money when I buy something. We ALL have one thing in common, we do it for ourselves some just work harder than others.

[a1mint]

Not everyone is as fortunate or gifted or skilled as everyone else. While you should be able to benefit from your advantages, at the same time it's important that the less fortunate get the opportunities to become better. That means things like having to fund schools for instance.

Other people make it possible for you to have a market in which to thrive. Everyone in effect is indirectly linked. People need to stick up for each other, to a point.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

I see what you are getting at. Funding for schools has gone up 99% under Bush and if you are talking about college, well everyone can get a student loan. My tax dollars do not need to pay for someone elses college they can pay it back just as I did.

[a1mint]

School is too expensive and need to be subsidized better. It's important that everyone gets an equal change - the ones qualified of course.

Sure, student loans are appropriate, but not at the level where it becomes impossible to get one unless you have rich parents.
