When you lie down with dogs you get fleas..Joe the Plumber appalled with McCain

This just proves how WRONG the RIGHT are. The shoot from the gut that made McCain select Palin, and promote this bozo, is endemic in their philosophy. I will never be able to understand why anyone would have voted for McCain, this was just so obvious from the get go.

We can only hope that Palin/Wurzelbacher, is the pick for 2012..It would just be so "them" to do that, because they seem only to respond to gut thought and not critical thinking. :)

Joe 'The Plumber' 'appalled' with McCain
Posted: 09:52 AM ET

(CNN) – With the dust still settling from the 2008 presidential race, one of its biggest celebrities lashed out Tuesday at the man who made him famous.

Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher, the Ohio voter who challenged President-elect Barack Obama on his tax plan and later became a hero of John McCain's presidential bid, said Tuesday he felt "appalled" at some of his interactions with the Arizona senator, and soon felt the need to ditch his campaign.

Speaking with conservative talk-radio host Glenn Beck, Wurzelbacher said he was specifically at odds with McCain's support over the massive $700 billion bailout, a measure many conservatives opposed despite McCain's attempts to shepherd the bill on Capitol Hill.

1. Oh the ingratitude. McCain made Joe a household name--or a national joke
No doubt McCain was gritting his teeth wondering "Why do I have to have anything to do with this moron." the whole time he was talking to him.

Makes you want to cry.

3. The right wing delusionals are going down kicking and screaming
and pulling everyone with them. Joe the Plumber leading the way. This guy went from nothing to right wing darling. Talk about 15 minutes of fame. And John McCain did it. Oh it is just hitting me how truly lucky we are he did not get into office. I honestly think at this point he would have been worse than Bush.

2. Why do I care about Joe the Plumber. Why does anyone value his opinion on anything?
