   Oooohhh….matt; sorry you got such a pummeling. I was busy feeding family, etc.
   Back to the topic at hand, I do get your point, in that those with glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and that McCain should be above it all as the person of honor he’s known to be. What’s offensive (mildly, I admit) to me and a few others is that you are suggesting that this event, in whatever form it turns out to be, could somehow cast a pall over a campaign that has been, to almost all conservatives, totally skewed by every media outlet besides Fox, using others who are unashamedly biased and flamingly in the tank for Obama.
   So I refer you to my earliest post on this thread that victory would taste sweeter still if McCain/Palin wins by using a tactic from the Dems’ playbook.
   I’m done; thanks for listening.

   I’m waiting for matty to demonstrate that this is occuring. On the Republican side.

   The only instance of it I can see so far on the part of the left. They have yawned with indifference regarding The One’s lifelong friendship with terrorists and racists. It’s peculiar to see them turing purple with rage because (allegedly) some private citizen is distantly related to a white-collar criminal.

   But that’s what makes them totalitarian thugs.

   Allegedly being the operative word. By now we should be used to the Snake Oil, Smoke And Mirrors (SOSAM) the Left uses in a pathetic and transparent atempt to deflect honest inquiry.

    AGAIN. Why does this matter?

    Obama still said what he said. It’s not like Joe was forcing Obama to confess he was a socialist. Pretense really doesn’t matter. You think there aren’t any plumbers out there in Joe’s position? Gimme a break.

    It’s a nonsense game of distraction.

    It’s a shame that someone, Joe, who just asked a simple question and “dared” to criticize or state an opinion on what is most definitely a flawed tax plan, is being villified by the lefties. I don’t care if he’s an unlicensed plumber or owes taxes if he works on both to better himself to help out his family and future.

    I feel a special kinship with Joe ’cause my father was steamfitter/plumber for over 30 years. I don’t think he (my father) was licensed because he worked for a private business (a university) and the training/educational requirements were different back then. Now, the unions and the State have a stranglehold on how one becomes a plumber and the normal direction that follows for any union-based profession.

    Even though I’m a teacher, got my education/training in my master’s program and then my licenses, it felt like a goat rope. There are many educated people out there that could do a better job teaching than the trained professionals. It’s a matter of common sense, integrity, and dedication that many union poobahs of different fields neither want or accept.

    I was raised by Joe The Plumber. People like him are the backbone of America and if the elite media and the Dems/Repubs try to castigate and dismiss them it will be to their peril.

    Joe “The Plumber” is as fraudulent as the rest of you people.

    The guys doesn’t pay his taxes
    The guy doesn’t have a plumbers license
    They guy won’t endorse McCain
    The guy isn’t trying to purchase his company

    This guy is full of it

    Hey, Ihatemycountry, what are you doing to hate your country today? So, if we’re all “frauds” (cough cough) then what are you? Pure as the driven snow? Do you have any integrity or do you show how brave you are with your little tirades on MM? Here are a couple of factoids for you:

    I’m a military spouse.
    My husband has been in the military for 16 years.
    I’m a certified and licensed Social Studies teacher in three states and have a master’s degree in that field.
    I will be voting for McCain even though I disagree with him on many issues (what do you disagree with Obummer about- what color Che vest you’ll wear for the day?).
    I will become an independent after this election.

    What have you, or any liberal, done for this country? Do you give to charity? Or do you think that everyone should live according to your socialist principles?

    The only fraudster on here is you, lgm, and the rest of the liberal, Obummer fight club who want to put us in our place for not supporting The One. How patriotic. The only thing that guides you and your vote is your “cut” of the Obummer homeslice.

    MM posters disagree on many things such as what conservativism is, where it’s headed, and what it means to all of us. You’re not interested in that and neither are your fellow liberals. I’m not interested in liberalism because I sucked on the koolaid and got tired of getting lectured about being nice to all the victim classes in this country.

    The only poser in this forum is you. What do you even stand for? Do you even know? Or do you make it up as you go along?

    When you look at this situation what is the reason the Left now hates Joe the Plumber?

    Answer: He asked Barack Obama a simple, direct question. Obama gave him a direct answer.

    Result: For causing Obama to tell the truth, the Left feels Joe should be pilloried. He would be a hero if he helped Obama lie?

    The twisted logic is too bizarre to fathom. Unhinged is an appropriate term.

    Said by yet one more suburb-fleeing, urban oasis-embracing, all-knowing liberal automaton. Nah, nah, you’re not a hypocrite, are ya?

    We criticize Obummer. We criticize McCain. What do you not get? Do you even disagree with Obummer on anything? Do you believe that “spreading the wealth” is fair?

    Of course, you’d actually have to have some integrity to even admit Obummer, like McCain, is far from perfect, has questionable associations, and is not a post-racial, post partisan politician.

    Or you could simply heed this advice:

    WE DONT LIKE OBUMMER. GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!

    Debates with you inevitably disintegrate into lengthy rants that have nothing to do with the subject at hand so I’ll keep this short: Yes (in politics, as in real life, almost no one agrees with anyone on EVERYthing). But that has NOTHING to do with what we’re talking about. I’m not sure what your point is. MY POINT, is that I notice hypocrisy here. The end.

    It’s precisely because Barack foolishly told a working class guy that he wanted to take more of his earnings as taxes to “spread the wealth” that he’s in trouble.

    Barack didn’t say that to a well-heeled entrepreneur that some libs (or even “moderate” squishes) would shrug about and conclude “he can afford it”.

    No. He said it to a working stiff.

    To the extent Obama’s thugs attempt to vilify this guy they show their contempt for ALL working stiffs who hold out hopes of becoming better off.

    Working stiffs have had their eyes opened.

    I sure hope McCain and Palin pound the issue into the ground!!!

    What hypocrisy? You want us to pretend that some citizen being distantly related to Keating is the same as your Presidental nominee being pals with racists and terrorists. The only hypocrisy here is your own.

    Too bad that nyk can’t quite describe what he thinks the “shady relationships” are on our side.

    If Joe the Plumber was friends with racists and terrorists, that STILL would not be comparable – because he is not running for President! Your Mugabe clone is.

    Not to go OT or anything, but last night I flew back to St. Louis from NYC and was fortunate to be upgraded from coach to first class. The last two people to board took the seats in front of me.

    Guess who. It was Al Sharpton and Jess-uh Jack-suhn. I assume that they were flying in early for Obam-uh’s rally this weekend.

    They conversed loudly throughout the first hour of the flight, but not understanding jive, I missed the substance of the conversation.

    When things quieted down later, Jess-uh put on his reading glasses, pulled out a crossword puzzle and started working on it.

    A few minutes later Jack-suhn leans over to Sharpton and says, “Say Al, what’s a four-letter word for nyk that ends in u-n-t?”

    Sharpton looks back at his in disbelief and says “aunt”–except it sounds like “ahhnt.”

    There’s three seconds of dead silence and Jack-suhn says to Sharton, “Say Al, could I borrow an eraser?”
