'Joe The Plumber' Describes His New Union Job

From the same guy who calls Obama Messiah. I mean really. You better hurry, you can still catch the last half of Hannity's show.

Several years after the fact you get on a guy called Joe the Plumber, even starting a thread about him, yet want to separate him from Barrack Obama, the guy involved in bringing him his moment in the spotlight. Mentioning John McCain though is, for some reason, okay.

I notice you used my quote but didn't respond to it. Instead you went somewhere else completely. You LIVs are all too similar to each other.

Translation: You don't need to join a union but you do "need" (air quotes) to join a union



Translation: After admitting that joining a union helped him get a job, he'll deny that joining a union did him any good.

Talk to him 20 years later.

Yes it was about Joe. Joe has a union job now. That you fail to see the delicious irony of him working for a union and at Chrysler (how conveniently you forget he opposed the idea of bailing them out) of all places is predictable. Though bordering on pathetic. And all you have done is try to make it about Obama. Run along. You have brought nothing to this thread.

He is famous because of his questions directed at Barrack (Hope and Change!) Obama. Not mentioning Joe the Plumber with Obama is like talking of Stan Laurel without mentioning Oliver Hardy.

But I don't blame you for not wanting to discuss Obama. Even the worst of the LIVs must be catching on to the scam by now.

A license makes you a plumber??


Wurzelbacher was born in Toledo, Ohio, to Kay and Frank Wurzelbacher. The family moved to Florida when he was young, then returned to Toledo when he was in the middle of high school. After high school, Wurzelbacher enlisted in the United States Air Force, and was stationed in Alaska and North Dakota. In the Air Force, he learned plumbing, along with other skills. Wurzelbacher left the Air Force in 1996 and worked as a plumber, but then switched careers and started working at the telecommunications company Global Crossing. He also married, had a son, and then divorced during this time. After the divorce, Wurzelbacher decided to go back into plumbing in order to spend more time with his son.[8]

He needs to prove to you that he was a plumber? You feel he was a fake plumber?

Absolutely he was. And besides, he was on Fake News a great deal.

Can't get one unless you are a plumber. He doesn't have a license, therefore he's not a plumber.

How do you know he hasn't got a license? Are you convinced he didn't have a licence when he was a plumber in the Air Force?

if a guy you never seen before appears on your doorstep carrying a bag of tools and says that he is a plumber, are you going to take the man at his word?

I would ask for a license to find out what company he works for in case i need to contact his boss.

If a man appears on my doorstep saying he is a plumber and I have no plumbing problems and didn't call anyone then yes, i would be suspicious.

You're the one who brought this up. What motives do you think he had for falsely claiming he was a plumber?

Dude, he worked as a plumber illegally. It was about one thing. Money. Was it really that hard for you?

The Toledo Blade, examining Lucas County Building Inspection records, reported that his employer, the A.W. Newell Corp., "does maintain a state plumbing license, and one with the City of Toledo, but would not be allowed to work in Lucas County outside of Toledo without a county license."

"Mr. Wurzelbacher said he works under Al Newell's license, but according to Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do plumbing work," the newspaper said. "He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio- which means he's not a plumber."
