Thank you V for sending this to me!

I can't want for SNL tonight!

What does Joe the Plumber say about John McCains ability to do the job he still continues to covet?

 "I was just really surprised that my name was mentioned," he told reporters after the debate.  REALLY?

Now we know that the McCain campaign must have asked Sam Wurzelbacher because Wurzelbacher told reporters Thursday that 'the McCain campaign contacted him earlier in the week to ask him to appear with the candidate at a Toledo rally scheduled for Sunday.' Don't you think they may have told him he would be mentioned? Maybe that they wanted him to be the 'Joe Sixpack' poster boy. JM used him as the centerpiece of the debate to put the whole Joe Sixpack mentality against the issues regarding Obama's tax platform. Fear mongering again! 

Why then did they not vet him? I think this is showing a trend, they didn't seem to vet Sarah very well, if at all, they admitted they did not do any vetting of Joe the Plumber. What does this say about JM? - if he is really the maverick in charge, he must have nothing but 'yes men' all around him to not question these choices. Maybe like JM none of his staff or advisers knows how to Goggle either.

I want someone smarter then me running my country-that is what I look for in a candidate I vote for. Intelligence and the ability to come at issues through a second tier thought process. Someone who can look at ALL sides of an issue and reason out the best possible solution for the whole in the long run, thus hopefully stabilizing the road toward the future. 8 years ago, I liked a lot of what JM had to offer, now I question his stability, not only of mind but of body - yes, I went there, that codger is OLD. Sorry, but he is starting to sound and act  like the old man who screams 'get off my lawn!' as the neighborhood kids run by. Wondering around at the second debate like your alzheimer uncle at the family picnic, or someone who was afraid to set down as they may have troubles trying to get back up.

It took me a few clicks and obviously the reporters a few more to find out that Joe the Plumber isn't even a licensed plumber - that means he is not working legally or ethical in the city of Toledo and around it, I think his employer is now in trouble - yes that would be the same employer who Joe said he was going to buy the business from. So let's mention that he can not afford it and it was already nothing but a pipe dream.

Joe is in the rear for his Taxes = no wonder he didn't want to pay more...

In January, 2007, the Ohio Department of Taxation placed a lien against him because $1,183 in personal property taxes had not been paid, but there has been no action in the case since it was filed.

Now if you go to the Clerk of Courts site you will see it is not Property Taxes but Personal INCOME Taxes!  You know, if your in the rears with the IRS chances are you will not be buying a business anytime soon...

Voting: this man who is 34 only voted for the first time this year! Let us see that means he has sat out possibly 4 presidential elections in the past.

Local election officials confirmed that Wurzelbacher was registered to vote. They said that he was incorrectly registered as Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher and that he voted for the first time in Pennsylvania's Republican primary on March 4.

"There's a lot I've got to learn," Wurzelbacher said.  BOY! Now if that isn't the UNDERSTATEMENT of the week - and so does the McCain campaign.

This was in todays email: thought I would share it on a grander scale.
FW: Now I understand
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers: a quintessential American
story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig, and Track: you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating: you're well
grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years
as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of
the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years
in the United States Senate represent ing a state of 13 million people
while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you
don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl (sports caster), 4
years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with
fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with
650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second
highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're
not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of so ciety.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with
no other option in sex education in your state's school system while
your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in
a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America's.
* If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DUI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote
until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the
secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.
