McCain invokes 'Joe' at rally
McCain brings campaign to crowd in Wood bridge
Date published: 10/19/2008 BY EMILY BATTLE WOODBRIDGE --Sen. John McCain extended Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes of fame during a campaign stop at the Prince William County government complex here yesterday.The Republican presidential nominee used the now-infamous nickname for Joe Wurzelbacher, who was filmed disagreeing with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's tax plan. McCain told the crowd of about 8,000 that Obama wants to tax them to redistribute wealth. McCain said he would lower taxes and cut down on what a warm-up speaker called "the overbearing, suffocating burden of government." Obama has said his tax plan would cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans, and end tax cuts for those making more than $250,000. "How do you cut income taxes for 95 percent of Americans when more than 40 percent pay no income taxes right now?" McCain said of his opponent's plan. "That's the key to Barack Obama's whole plan. Since you can't reduce taxes on those who pay zero, the government will write them all checks called a tax credit, and the Treasury will write those checks by taxing other people--you." His remarks drew cries of "No more taxes!" from the crowd. One man, who would identify himself only as Scott, waved a red toilet plunger in the air and held up a bumper sticker that said "Support Joe the Plumber. Vote McCain-Palin." Another man, dressed in rubber boots and a plaid flannel shirt and wearing a hard hat, held up a giant sign with a plunger at the top that said "No Re-Distribution" and drew a crowd after McCain's speech. McCain stressed his military background, and said, "What American needs at this hour is a fighter." "There are other ways to love this country, but I have never been the kind to do it from the sidelines," he said. A supporter behind him held up a sign that said "Some gave all. Some gave none." In a speech before McCain's arrival, former Gov. Jim Gilmore urged the crowd not to be discouraged by polls showing McCain is lagging in Virginia, a state that has voted for every Republican presidential candidate since 1964. "The polls are being used to discourage you from working and from voting," Gilmore said. "This race has not yet been decided in Virginia."

I believe the term is "bastee" Couldn't resist. Love the idea
of a sitcom. If I had a product to sell I think I would buy
some ad time. Hey Grace, why pick on crazy people? Don't
pick on Bubbadeanie just because he dropped a pill and
missed a day. He has old eyes like me, Right Buddy?
Smart ass, by best quality!

Enough silliness from me. What does that make Obama's mother then. Give me the guttural term. Where I grew up, people with hate in them would have called her a slut, a whore, a tramp, trollop. Something along those lines. Since he, who had nothing to do with his birth is a 'BASTARD' what would that make his mom? Give me your response on that Saved. I would image her label would be more harsh than that of a BASTARD CHILD. What would that name be Saved. Ball in your court preacher boy.
bubbadeanie...I think I have an answer for you

Obama mama wasn't married, so that makes him a bastard. I didn't make that up, it's fact. Now, if she was a virgin on top of that....could it be? then he'd truly be qualified to be your "messiah". All we need to do now is see if Obama was born in a manger in Hawaii/Kenya, or perhaps....Bethlehem? I heard he made a stop by there on his "OBAMA WORLD WIDE SURRENDER TOUR". You can keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. Check that dosage dude.......it's getting worse.

I love it when I ask you questions that make you look like the nutcase you try to be. Tough question wasn't it. Kind of went against the grain of what you try to act like you are. I am upset that you will not be my boyfriend. I think it would make for a great sitcom. Two boys from Spotsylvania who give up their heterosexual lifestyle to become the couple they always wanted to believe. I can't wait for the first cover dish support at your church. I am wearing my moomoo! HELLO FRISCO, HERE WE COME.
DRay - thanks for the info

Why concern is more that they "investigated" this guy just for
asking a question. What's next?
