JOE THE PLUMBER, Who wants to take him fishing?

[turk182]

Joe Wurzelbacher came out of nowhere in the presidential election and hammered Obama with the questions about taxing us to death. Wurzelbacher asked if the presidential candidate believed in the American Dream. Wurzelbacher said he was about to buy the plumbing company that he works for and was concerned that Obama would tax him more because of it. Lets take this guy fishing!

I don't let confirmed liars on my boat. . . it's bad enough when a republican shows up!

Why do we care about this guy? It's not like he is the first guy to ever ask a presidential candidate if they were going to tax them to death. It seems like every election we have one of those guys around. Why is he still getting all this attention?

Who knows why he garnered all the press? Reporters latched on to him as the ultimate "everyday American" and it just went viral. I think it all went to his head, though, as now they seem to be catching him in lies and inconsistencies but I don't know that it's his fault this thing snowballed out of control. I think it just spiraled and he got caught up in the whole thing. Don't see any reason to take him fishing, though - guy's been used as bait for too long now.
