Joe The Plumber

Here's all the info about the Joe the Plumber. He's not a licensed plumber, which could be a problem for him now. He also has never served an apprenticeship and does not belong to the union.

He makes no where near $250,000, more like $40,000 and he thinks "social security is a joke". Also he didn't pay $1,183 in personal income taxes he owed. He also owes St. Charles Mercy Hospital $1,261. Maybe he should rethink his complaint against Obama's healthcare plan as socialism.

He's not independent, but a registered Republican, but his registration has a misspelling of his name and plans by the Republicans which they say is to prevent voter fraud, may prevent him from being able to vote. More on that effort here.

Oh and Joe is his middle name, his first name is Samuel.

What I really don't get is why people that make $40,000 don't realize that they'll do better monetarily under Democrats than Republicans.

As Andrew Sullivan points out: "Joe the Plumber has now had more press conferences than Sarah Palin". Roland S. Martin points out: "Tina Fey has actually done more interviews about playing Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin has done about being Sarah Palin!" And some within the McCain campaign are calling her pick, "a total disaster".
