Joe the Plumber trashes McCain in new book
Christian Science Monitor ^ | 12/10/2008 | Jimmy Orr

Posted on 12/10/2008 11:35:10 AM PST by RgnRepublic

Hey, Joe the Plumber is back. And just like Bruce Willis — with a vengeance.

You remember Joe the Plumber, aka: Joe Wurzelbacher, the unlicensed plumber who John McCain used as a prop in the waning days of his campaign.

Well, he’s got a book out (who doesn’t?). And in the fine tradition of Scott McClellan, he’s biting the hand that fed him. Or perhaps snarking down the whole arm. We don’t know. The book’s not quite out yet. He’s just promoting it.

What does he say? That McCain was an ineffective campaigner, with tenuous ties to genuine conservatism at best? If so, then he can join about 75% of the people at FR in his opinion - me included.

FR could publish its own book with all the trashing of McCain over the past couple years. I would probably have my own chapter!

Joe the plumber rocks.

He just asked Mac questions and got rino answers.

Seems logical to me

I think Joe is just being truthful about Socialist John McCain. ANd if anyone is biting the hand look at what McCain has done to the conservatives who put him in office.

The only other person who has done more damage to conservatives is George W. Bush Republican Socialist.

the unlicensed plumber

Does that make Jimmy Orr the unlicensed journalist?

Hmm is right. I read that there's about 200,000 books published in the U.S. per year. That means roughly 550 per day. I find it hard to imagine that someone could read books at that rate to actually end up reading Joe the Plummer's book.

there was a previous thread that talked about this... I believe Joe wasn’t pleased with John’s answers to his questions about the $700 billion bailout...

The ONE day I don’t listen to Glenn Beck, this interview happens. I’m listening to part of it from the YouTube clip on the page and it’s pretty interesting.

Funny, ‘cause in the weeks before the election everyone here was loving McCain (I was a Ron Paul backer, and I wrote him in... I believe in true small government Republicanism). I read stuff like “The Mac Attack” and so forth, and was laughing hysterically, because he was so against many of the principles on here.

A few days after McCain lost - he and Lindsay Graham-nesty went to Obama to probably cut a deal on amnesty. My view is sadly - McCain was Soros Plan B. I wish Fred Thompson had gotten his act together sooner. He could have beaten O. :-(

I guess some people really are gullable or follow the crowds because I don’t buy ANYTHING whether it is a tease as they call it on a book or a movie or a product. We look at what we want and WE make the decision to purchase or not to purchase. We are NOT influenced by someone else’s opinion of what they think we should or should not have, do or say. It’s amazing how many people follow suit because others do. No wonder the country is in the shape it is...I think brains are going out of style. :)

Joe got famous by trashing Nobama.

I think he should have continued in that vein myself.

Biting the had that fed him? Comparable to Senator McCain’s enthusiastic defense of Governor Palin.

BS! Joe's claim to fame was being one of the few that actually asked a tough question of his majesty.
