Could Joe--the damn plumber--be a bigger joke as another McCain gimmick?
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 01:57 PM by Blue_Roses
I saw a clip last night of that idiot "endorsing" McCain and I thought this whole "situation" with him was nothing but a gimmick--again.:eyes:

This guy is such a joke and why the media continues to make a "celebrity" out of him is beyond me:crazy:

Tuesday can't come soon enough so we won't have to see that jerk anymore.

1. Every McCain gimmick has been seen as such
We should thank the old idiot for running such a smarmy, low-intelligence campaign. He's incapable of learning from his mistakes, so he just makes himself appear more and more ridiculous and irrelevant.

3. I caught his Joe-the-Plumber moments in his rally this morning and
he was repeating every freaking debunked lie about that Joe guy that his campaign has ever put out.

6. He was always a gimmick
The problem with the McCain campaign is that they decided to use this gimmick in other ways. It's one thing for JtP to pretend to be a "real working American" worried about his taxes. It was solid strategy and probably helped them with certain demographics (which they were already winning). But to have this idiot go on about Israel, especially when he looks like a friggin' neo-Nazi was too much. From that point on, his potential effectiveness for the rest of the campaign was over. "Guy Who Pretended To Be Undecided When He Was Always An Ignorant Racist Thug Endorses McCain." Yep, I'm worried.

7. I just can't believe the way McCain people complain about media coverage of him.
YOU through him in the damn spotlight, don't get all pissy when it turns out he's not the Horati Alger wannabe you thought he was.
