That is absolutely FALSE.
That statement is what is false.
Without Obama putting his foot in his mouth, McCain wouldn't have mentioned him in the debate. Without Obama having his foot in mouth experience caught on tape McCain wouldn't have known who Joe was.
Without Obama stepping into Joe's yard, the question wopuld not have been asked and the famous answer given.
And if Obama wasn't angry about what he said and the effect it might have on his electability, the dogs of hell would not have been unleashed from democrat office holders prying into the private affairs of one of their citizens in the great state of OHIO. And what surprises me is that doesn't seem to bother any of you stalwarts of liberty, that political thought and embarrassing the ONE is now cause for harassment and persecution.
Obama's entire campaign is based on HOPE, and yet you challenge the very ideas that a man's DREAMS are nothing more than a projection of HOPE.
At long last, have you no shame?
Yeah, and Saddam started the "war" in Iraq.
What is shameful is the way you are spouting Hannity-based nonsense about the "dogs of hell" being unleashed on Joe by the Dems. Joe asked a question. Obama answered his bullshit question that was a fabrication since Joe couldn't buy a plumbing business without a plumber's license.
Joe became a tent pole of the flailing campaign of McCain. McCain didn't even give him a head's up. McCain simply put the guy in the spotlight and tried to ride "Joe the Plumber" for all he was worth, which it turns out is not much at all.
Not to mention, Joe's question was based on a false premise. Then McCain kept on and on with the lie that Obama was going to tax the crap out of Joe once he hit $250,000. FALSE. Obama's plan would tax Joe ONLY on the moneys he made OVER $250,000. Not only that, Joe said that his BUSINESS would be making that much or a little over NOT HIMSELF!
Joe's ALLEGED business wouldn't be taxed at all! And if the business is only making $250-280,000 a YEAR, could you tell me, how the hell is Joe going to then pay all his overhead and himself over $250,000 a YEAR?
EVEN, let's just say for arguments sake, EVEN IF his business profited that much a year, he wouldn't just then cut himself a check for $280,000. But let's just say, Joe is a real dumbass and he WILL cut himself that check. AFTER the taxes that are already taken out, he still wouldn't clear enough to be taxed under Obama's new plan.
So, keep your self-righteous attitude over there with you, will ya? I'm sure it would get a big "You're a great American!" from Sean but it really cuts no ice with me when you're spouting these out and out lies.
