Joe The Plumber Ditches McCain (VIDEO)

John McCain announced that Joe the Plumber was at his rally in Defiance, Ohio Thursday morning. But when McCain called on the campaign poster-man to stand up, he wasn't there. "Joe, where are you? Is Joe here with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today," McCain said. When there was no response, he added, "Alright, well, you're all Joe the Plumber so all of you stand up!" Watch:

McCain campaign officials later said that Joe was slated to appear with McCain at a different campaign event on Thursday.

I'm embarrassed to say that I have been a republican my entire adult life...now I'm PROUD to say that I have seen the light and am voting for Obama. McCain's actions (those ridiculous quotation marks are driving me CRAZY), his sarcasm, his anger, and the ridiculous choice of Palin, and the slimy campaign have turned my stomach. I hope and pray Obama wins

A campaign so devoid of ideas that it hangs its hopes on a poor man's Chauncey Gardner, who goes AWOL. How brilliant. Let's hope this is a sign that Joe's fifteen minutes are finally up. And let's hope that on November 4th democrats do a better job of showing up to support their candidate than Joe did. If there's one thing I'd hate to see, it's Obama left standing awkwardly at the podium asking where his supporters are. Has anyone ever looked as jilted as McCain?

wow...that clip is like a car wreck....it's ulgy but you just gotta watch........

If McCain can't remember where Joe the Plant is, how's he going to remember a nuclear code? By the way, he seriously needs to stop with the pointy-fingered quotation marks. He just comes off looking like he's auditioning for Jurassic Park, not the POTUS. But then again, it does match the reptilian tongue thrust.

I thought they were REALLY cute. Cracks me up every time. Beats feeling sorry for him because his memory's not so great or that he's cantankerous because of his frustrations.

How come Cindy doesn't stomp off on her own, to rally people? Seems a waste just standing there.

Looks like the McCain campaign is running according to Murphy's Law: If there's anything that can go wrong, it does.

By the way I just read earlier today that Joe The Plumber wants to be a country singer....that's right!! Coming soon: Joe the Plumber, This Guy Has PIPES!!!!

Obama/Biden '08
Keep HOPE alive

I just watched the above clip on the Daily Show...look at it again. When McCain realizes that Joe isn't there Cindy looks to the side and mouths "oh my God"...she is in utter disbelief!!

Obama/Biden '08

HaHaHaaaHaHa. Everyday he and his P.O.S running mate do or say something stuuuupid. John McCain has wet dreams about Joe the Plant excuse me....plumber.

[desertbloom]

Does McCain still think that Joe is actually a plumber? And, that Palin is a plausible VP? The man clearly is out of touch with reality.

How John McCain truly feels about the American voters.

"Your ALL Joe The Plumbers"

Here's the thing about Joe The Plumber:

Though he's nowhere near making $250,000 a year, though he doesn't even have a contractor's license, and if he doesn't get one he'll have to head his company with someone that does have a contractor's license, and no doubt that person would be in charge of the company and take most of the profits, he's worried about paying 3% more taxes on the earnings he'd be making on $250,000 and up. I guess if you're making a quarter of a million dollars a year you're just not well off unless you're keeping the 3% more that Obama is asking you to contribute to the well-being of the country.

But, he's not going to pay his employees / plumbers under him $250,000 dollars a year. So, if he has his way, none of his employees deserve a tax cut. Only he is entitled to a tax cut. His employees will be paying for Joe The Plumber''s success, and not their own.

That's not the Change We Need, and it's not change at all.

Beside, I always thought those Republicans are running for “reelection” (HA!, AS if they were truly “elected in 2000 and 2004!) in the US.A and not in Israel. Or am I missing something here, hmm? Did the two Nations “fused” to One? Has the U.S. Already secretly been renamed already to Israelica or is it now named Amerisrael? Why is Israel such a Ueber-dominating factor in every U.S. Election?
Sorry but I do not get it. Religion is an utmost Private matter (and Private “Property” is well protected in the U.S., correct?!) and should NEVER be the decisive factor of the State of the World!
So any one who can PLEASE elaboratedly explain the relation of the U.S. and Israel, why the Jewish Vote in the U.S is of such magnificant importance and why Israel is in fact still receiving Billios yearly in " U.S. Aid" though Israel IS the 5th richest Nation in the World, hmm?

Just the humble “Free Speech” Opinion and relevant Questions of an slightly irritated “ European Alien in America'. Nothing more, Nothing less.
And “Free Speech” DOES still exist in the U.S.A, does it not, hmm?

The "Genius" as well as the “ingenuity” (sarcasm!) of the Republican 'TALKING-POINTS” Pundits, their lack of any relevant education and preparedness to enter a political discussion is always very amusing.
But the nonsensical assault, by those unilluminated neocons, of Everyone who dares to criticize Israel's undeniable atrocious Policies and “foreign” Policies as “Anti-Semites” without them even knowing the REAL definition of “Semite” and the false pretense of those Bible-thumping of a U.S. Theocracy day-dreaming Businessmen and women in conservati­ve-religio­us clothes, who all in reality do not give a damn about the Jewish People in Israel or any one but themselves, has always been the biggest JOKE!

This would be a lot funnier if it wasn't so pathetic. This had to be one of the quietest campaign rallies I've ever had, despite the fact they handed out those noise sticks.
