   Machado - “Joe the Plumber” is probably a Republican operative - he’s related to one of the Keating 5; and he doesn’t seem to feel any particular need to payhis current taxes, as he is under an $1,182 tax lien ordered last year.

   Fairportfan, even Teh Keith (Olbermann) admits Joe the Plumber isn’t related to anyone connected to the Keating Five. It’s just a name coincidence. The guy IS unlicensed and apparently under a tax lien, though.

   Yeah, and 9/11 was an inside job too, what’s that they say about a fool born everyday?

   Whether or not he’s related to Keating 5 is irrelevant, clearly a plant.

   My goodness, Talk about delusional and dangerous… And America is supposed to listen to anything this raving left has to say???

   —Yeah, they planted the idea of Obama’s campaign visiting the area..sure
   –They planted the “Response” Obama gave in his head ahead of time too, Right?…..
   –They also planted Obama’s Socialist ideas learned from Chicago radicals through a life time, right?….

   Yeah , sure, save this stupidity for your ‘grade school mentality’ followers…

   What this demonstrates to America is how when Obama is not following a script He’s real Socialist tendencies slips out, and* Obama’s ominous intentions for America have become as clear as crystals *…

   This is why he avoided debating McCain in a Town Hall setting, He (Obama) could not control the outcome, and therefore influence uninformed Americans……

   Now the secret is out…..and the polls are slipping…..

   Wake up America, they are smearing a “Middle class” Plumber now, how long before they come for you and your paycheck

   What Machado and “Joe” don’t realize is… While Obama is upfront with his tax plans, Mccain tries to slip his new taxes in on your healthcare. You may not like Obama’s idea of ‘spreading the wealth around’ but please understand that either way YOU are NOT going to keep it… Mccain wants to spread it around the top 1% (who don’t need it) and hope it trickles down… But see when the market tightens like it has, the little trickle that may have been coming down gets shut off. Now you’re screwed.

   p.s. Joe the plumber represents less than 2% of small businesses. excuse me.. i should say the IDEA of Joe the plumber, cause that dude is nothing like the pubs tried to portray him.

    Whether Joe was a plant or not really doesn’t matter. The fact is that Obama was at a loss of how to make his “Wealth Sharing” sound like a good thing.

    “…Wake up America, they are smearing a “Middle class” Plumber now, how long before they come for you and your paycheck….”

    They came for me and my paycheck under Reagan. They came for it again under Bush Sr. Again under Clinton. Again under Bush. And I’m confident that no matter WHICH candidate wins they’re coming for it again next year.

    People who find ways to not pay taxes get rewarded so those who do pay more.
