Joe, worst GOP plumber since Watergate Jeepers, you guys can sure pick 'em. "...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. He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means he’s not a plumber. Mr. Wurzelbacher said he was hired by Mr. Newell six years ago and that the possibility of him eventually buying the company was discussed during his job interview. He said it’s his understanding he can work under Mr. Newell’s license as long as the licensed contractor works on the same site. Mr. Wurzelbacher said he is working on taking the Ohio plumbing contractors’ license test. Mr. Wurzelbacher’s notoriety has raised the ire of Tom Joseph, business manager for Local 50 of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters, and Service Mechanics, who claimed that Mr. Wurzelbacher didn’t undergo any apprenticeship training. "When you have guys going out there with no training whatsoever, it’s a little disreputable to start with," Mr. Joseph said. "We’re the real Joe the Plumber." Mr. Joseph said Mr. Wurzelbacher could only legally work in the townships, but not in any municipality in Lucas County or elsewhere in the country. "This individual has got no schooling, no licenses, he’s never been to a training program, union or non-union, in the United States of America," Mr. Joseph said. The association has endorsed Barack Obama, according to Mr. Joseph.... toledoblade.com

Joe The Plumber owes the IRA $12,000 and made $42,000 last year. He has to take care of his sick father who hates government programs, but now needs them desperately. Joe is in no shape to even think about buying a plumbing business, and he isn't a plumber anyway. He lied to Obama in his question, and Obama gave him a very solid comprehensive answer. If you listen to the whole clip, you'd be voting Obama. If you don't give a damn about your future, go ahead and vote for McCain, but it's a wasted vote and shows flaccid emptry-headed values. If you're a true conservative only Bob Barr walks the walk.
