Joe ruined his own life. McCain didn't do anything to him.

He got his 15 minutes of fame, tried to make it longer, he failed. It's his own fault and he shouldn't blame anyone else but himself.

I shed a tear for Joe the Plumber. I hear Pinocchio is also pretty upset at Geppeto for the very same thing.

No one can ruin your life without your co-operation.

This is untrue in oh so many ways.

Drunk driver kills your daughter, son, wife.

Cop plants drugs on you for an arrest.

Just two off the top of my head.

On topic though, I don't understand what Joe's problem is. Why doesn't he just get the correct licensing that every other plumber needs to get? Because he's "Joe the Plumber" and doesn't need to? Bullocks.

I suspect he's a loser and always has been. I mean, they sure didn't pluck him out of obscurity and shine a spotlight on him because he was a genius. They needed an out of touch "everyman" to put out front to milk some votes from the uninformed but flag waving Fox news crowd. And when they turned off the lights and went home in defeat, poor Sam... er... I mean Joe was left standing there wondering why nobody was paying attention to him anymore. And like any good wingnut, he found someone to blame for his own ills.

Sam "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher was used for nothing more then political gain. McCain only brought him on stage to try and show how connected he is to everyday America. When the poll numbers started to falter he was thrown away like yesterdays garbage. Typical GOP strategy, use some poor idiot to try to advance your agenda in an effort to try and drive up numbers and when they no longer serve a purpose they become expendable. The lemmings will soak it all in and vote against their best interests when confronted with the remote tease that the GOP cares about people when in reality all they care about the utter and total destruction of The United States Of America. And will kill if they do not get their way.
