Not-Joe the not-plumber: Is our morans learning?
Sam Wurzelbacher has a fucking epiphany..

http://scottdetrow.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/a-few-minutes-with-joe-the-plumber/

Joe the Plumber (aka Samuel J.Wurzelbacher) headlined state Representative Sam Rohrer’s Mobilize for Liberty event in Harrisburg today, giving the Berks County lawmaker his support a few hours after Rohrer mustered just a dozen votes in the State Republican Committee’s gubernatorial endorsement meeting.

Joe’s endorsement is apparently quite the coup. He says more than 200 politicians have asked for support this year, but so far, he’s only backed five. “I need to talk to candidates before I endorse,” he told me afterwards, explaining that his bar is pretty high. “We have a series of conversations – 20 to 30 minute conversations – and I grill them. I ask them questions about energy, education – make sure they’re straight.” Wurzelbacher says he also vets candidates online.

<snip>

I pointed out he’d just be plain old Sam Wurzelbacher of Ohio — Joe the Plumber wouldn’t exist – without McCain. His response was blunt. “I don’t owe him s—. He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

Wurzelbacher said, “McCain was trying to use me. I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”

1. Yep he is a pure CONservative it wasn't his running out into the street to battle wits
with candidate Obama with a made up success story of his own business that messed up his life nor was it his willingness to run all over the country to spread his message of success after it was found out he was a lying fake. Nope his life was messed up all because of McGramps.

4. The thought of
having a series of 20 to 30 minute conversations with him. That must dampen a lot of ardor. Do these people have that much time to waste?
