'Joe The Plumber' Describes His New Union Job

The only reason he now needs a job is because he was a ****ty politician.

The reason he needs a job is because he wasn't a politician.

I thought he lived in Ohio?

In the end, why does anybody still care enough about this loser to attack or defend him? Seriously? He was a nobody who became a political pawn and it turns out he's a racist (of course, it's not racist unless you're a libbo. I forgot). I knew McCain's campaign was doomed when they brought Sam the not actually a plumber on the bus and the campaign spokesman said "America needs his wisdom."

You tell me. You obviously care enough to insult him.

He turned himself into a a publicity whore. He is the one that had an unsuccessful bid running as a Republican for the 9th district of Ohio. He is the one that held a press conference at his own home after the 2008 debates. He is the one that wrote a book that didn't sell. He is the one that has made racist comments. I don't care who he works for or anything about the guy really, but any problems he has had in life resulting from the 2008 campaign are all his own doing.

You don't care about the man but call him a whore and run through your negative version of his biography?? There is too much hate among the Democrats.

What's that line that Republicans like to use? Move? Leave? Go to a place where people like you are welcome? Guess he's probably far more comfortable in Illinois' socialist chaos than all those right to work wonder states like Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. All of which are booming economically right now.

Yes, that is what the auto industry and most other companies capable of doing have done. LEAVE union shop states where you have to contribute to the Democratic Party if you want a job in that industry.

I didn't insult him. He was a nobody until he became a political pawn.

I've seen Liberals called much much worse.

FYI, the majority of cars sold in the world are now sold in countries where there is no right to work, no unions and/or no worker protections i.e. China, India, Brazil. So if they have left, it's not for right to work states, but countries which embrace raw capitalism.

I was responding to a post that portrayed him as a innocent. The fact is he is a publicity whore and most of his problems are his own doing. Do you disagree with that?

Samuel Wurzelbacher's encounter with Barack Obama gave some material to Republicans who were eager to brand the Illinois senator a socialist. Today, the man better-known as "Joe The Plumber" has himself a union job.

It might seem like an odd fate for Wurzelbacher, whose status as a mini celebrity in the 2008 presidential race paved the way for a book deal and a failed congressional bid. A quick scan of his Facebook page makes it clear that he's still the same guy who said last year that America needs a "white Republican president again."


'Joe The Plumber' Describes His New Union Job, Contemplates The Meaning Of 'Tea Bagger'

I'm not sure which is funnier...

That he works for a company that was bailed out, or that he's a union guy now.

Either way, you can't make this **** up.

Did he come out against unions? Or did he just ask Obama a question? I suspect that if the guy has been a plumber all his life this isn't the first union he has ever been in. Plus it should be noted that not all union members are lock-step liberals. So whats your point here other than to slam a guy who had the gall to question the Messiah?

The man said unkind things about Obama that caused some embarrassment to the president. Obviously he should be in prison and if not should be harassed and threatened if he goes in public.

Obama established a rule for IRS retaliation against small business owners that speak against legislation named after him, "ObamaCare." Isn't it time to outlaw any derogatory or negative statements about him? Many countries have such laws. Shouldn't Obama sign an executive order prohibiting anyone speaking against him, not just small business owners?

A loser? A nobody? He's a working man who, like all Americans, has a right to his opinions

He absolutely has a right to his opinions. And his opinions, by and large, have been found to be ill-informed, racist and stupid.

After the absolutely vile attacks many here (including you) make against lefties, you've got some brass ones to start yammering about "too much hate among the Democrats." It's always projection, isn't it?

Joko is pretending that people are actually jailed or sanctioned for speaking out against Obama.

These are the same whack jobs that claim Christians are being persecuted at every turn. The Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin fed Fake News "War on Christmas" is a prime example of their foolishness.

Every one of Joko's posts require pretending on his part - they are devoid of any truth or honesty.

Professional politicians make it lok easy but not everybody can do it.

I wouldn't be able to.

I can't lie that much, you would be able to see it in my face.

Well, considering that Illinois isn't a Right to Work state he doesn't have a lot of choice on the union thing is he wants to work.
Click to expand...

sure he does
he instead works at a non-union shop
think he was forced into the union job, under duress? he could have said 'no'
typical reich wing hypocrite

Sooo, he came out against unions? Or no? One can be for limited government and unions. But you would know that if you actually kept up and didn't just spout leftist nonsense.
