When did Joe the Plumber become a political pundit? He is on MSNBC now

[renie408]

sharing his Republican views on everything from taxes to Iraq. What the fuck is that? I am Irene the horse training tax preparer, why don't they come ask me about stuff??

[ecstatic]

1. Palin in jeans LOL. This guy is such a con artist nt

[renie408]

2. This is beyond bizarre. Oh, BTW, he should register to vote if he wantst to be a county

commissioner.

[beachmom]

16. He is registered .... as a Republican. nt

[WinkyDink]

3. I don't think he's going to help their cause.

4. I didn't see the debate (my beloved dachshund died yesterday after a brief illness), and so I only

vaguely know about the plumber--I guess he's got to run through his fifteen minutes. Sounds like a real ass.

[renie408]

6. I am so sorry to hear about your dog. That is so tough. How are you doing?

[TwilightGardener]

13. Thank you for asking--I am still in shock. He was only six, and healthy--on Sunday

he developed a fever and lay around, so we took him to the vet on Monday, and they started him on antibiotics. By Tuesday he seemed better in the morning (went outside, tried to eat a little), but then started vomiting blood by afternoon. He was hospitalized Tues night, and once again seemed to be doing better Wed. morning after a blood transfusion and IV fluids, but then the vet called back yesterday afternoon and said he was starting to crash--I made it there in time to hold him, and he saw me and knew I was there, and then the lights just sort of went out. A massive toxic bacterial infection, overwhelmed his little system--still not sure how he came down with it. My kids are grieving, but they're teenagers now and trying to be tough and not cry, I'm weeping like a baby, my husband is just quiet and sad--we're all just beginning to come to terms with losing him, he was such a big part of the family.

23. You have my deepest sympathy.

Pets are family and their loss is felt very deeply. It really is like losing a family member. If you need to cry, by all means...CRY. I will be thinking about you guys in your time of grief. Good luck to you and your family.

[TwilightGardener]

24. Appreciate it, thank you.

8. I am sorry for your loss.

We had to put our beloved cat of 15 years to sleep one week ago today. She got sick on Sunday and was gone by Thursday. I can understand how you are feeling right now. About the plumber.....I get the feeling that there is more to his story than meets the eye. Hopefully, the truth will be dug up about him.

[TwilightGardener]

18. Well, we grieve together, then--so sorry about your sweet kitty!

[Egnever]

11. Sorry to hear that

losing a pet can be really rough my thoughts are with ya.

[TwilightGardener]

21. Thank you.

[leftynyc]

12. So very sorry about your dog

I've been where you are and it broke my heart. And yes, Joe the Plumber is an ass.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Thanks. I'm beginning to get caught up on all this debate stuff I missed--I'm just

baffled by all the Joe threads.

[ShortnFiery]

17. I'm so sorry to hear that.

I have been very close to my beloved late K-9s and my present princess doggie is 15 years old ... near the end. May God Bless and they enjoy before we meet them at the Rainbow Bridge. :hug: :hi:

[TwilightGardener]

20. Thank you--yes, I read the Rainbow Bridge story today, it is very comforting.

[TooRaLoo]

19. Sorry to hear about your baby.

I love Doxies. :hug:

5. He was never undecided - this was all a cheap political stunt

This guy is a freaking moron - saying Obama "tap-danced" around the question, when the video proves otherwise.

This guy was never undecided. Period.

[renie408]

7. Yeah, since he is anti-Social Security and thinks Iraqis are now living

the high life, I am thinking Joe just might lean a little right, eh??

[City Lights]

9. Joe the GOP Plumber can face the media, but their VeePee candidate cannot!

:wtf:

How messed up is that?

[Meshuga]

10. That should be a talking point

Joe the plumber is more fit to be a VP pick for the GOP than their current one. The ticket should be McSame/Plumber'08.

[ShortnFiery]

14. Joe the Plumber is "part of the McCain ploy" ... he's a PLANT for their campaign. eom

[TwilightGardener]

22. Reading around, that's what it sounds like. Remember, this is the same campaign

who arranged McLoonie's supermarket trip/photo-op last summer, and couldn't find any customers for him to push a shopping cart with, so they hurried to find a local Republican mom who was willing to "shop" with him--that was the applesauce attack and dairy aisle debacle.
