There are liberal plumbers but in general they are a very conservative lot.

Repair work is for the self motivated, disciplined, men that can push through adversity and not give up.

I have worked 56 hours straight without sleep, I have crawled on my back in six inches of water under a house in 20 degree weather to solder a pipe.

When the job has to be done and you are the plumber, there is no else to call, you have to push through fatigue and hours of being soaked in water up to your waist during cold nights, if that is what it takes to get the water back on by the time the people in the apartment complex have to wake up for work.

Interestingly enough, many plumbers also work on commission, these are all work conditions that makes for a largely conservative crowd.

Joe the Plumber may be the guy that brings down Obama hard. And even better, the media may be the one that helps Joe to do it.

Here is an American homeowner who respects you guys, a lot.

When you really, really need a plumber, there is no one else who can do the job. My plumber has about 6 employees and they have been lifesavers in the past. As you say: all hours, all temperatures and all conditions.

There is nothing nuanced about a backed up sewer.

You are a plumber! No one really knows what is involved to earn that dollar. Thank god for dirty jobs. Obama has shown me nothing but poor choices with his friends and leaders. If Obama wants to distribute the wealth let him come work with me for a week and see if he still wants to sread the wealth!!!
