God Talks to Joe the Plumber. Again.
If Joe Lieberman was the biggest ingrate in American politics, Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher is surely now the first. While Lieberman betrayed Barack Obama only months after Obama campaigned for him in Connecticut, the Plumber turned Tea Bagger has now turned his back on John McCain and Sarah Palin. Which can only mean that God must be talking to Joe the Plumber again.
On Saturday, Joe revealed his disdain for his benefactors during a "Mobilize for Liberty" event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
He said he doesn't support Sarah Palin anymore. Why? Because she's backing John McCain's re-election effort. "John McCain is no public servant," he told the room, calling the 2008 Republican nominee a career politician.
I pointed out he'd just be plain old Sam Wurzelbacher of Ohio -- Joe the Plumber wouldn't exist - without McCain. His response was blunt. "I don't owe him s--. He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it."
Wurzelbacher said, "McCain was trying to use me. I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy."
But if was a ploy, Wurzelbacher used to be content to go along with it. Because, as he told Christianity Today in May 2009, God told him so:
CT: How did you react to such public attention after John McCain talked about you in the presidential debate?.
JOE THE PLUMBER: The second day, when everything out came out about my taxes, you know, I got really scared, really down. All these people were saying just god-awful things about me. I mean, I'm not one to blow smoke up my skirt, but I think I'm a pretty nice guy and I'm not used to people saying that kind of thing about me. It really hurt. But then I went to bed that night and talked to God for a good, long time. The next morning, I woke up feeling like Superman and I didn't care about what things people said anymore from that day on. They're going to say what they're going to say. They want to tear people down to make themselves feel better. They have their own agendas, and God said, "Well, you know, listen--I set you on a path, and go to it. See what you can do."
And back then, Sarah Palin could count on support from Joe the Plumber - and Jesus the Christ:
"I like Sarah Palin a lot, actually. I just don't know if that's where God's leading her. I just know the Republican Party's done its best to blackball her. I don't know what her agenda is. If she ran, would I vote for her? Absolutely. John McCain was the lesser of two evils."
If the Almighty is now counseling Joe to take back his endorsements of John McCain and Sarah Palin, He has also told Wurzelbacher the time is not yet right to seek political office himself. Asked about it in May, Joe the Plumber responded, "Not right now. God hasn't said, 'Joe, I want you to run.'" Then in July, he told WorldNetDaily:
Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, "I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"
Still, Wurzelbacher said, he will keep that door open if God ever calls him to be that leader.
In January 2009, God apparently also called on Joe to be an ersatz war correspondent for Pajamas Media. Wurzelbacher, who Pajamas compared favorably to Ernie Pyle and Stephen Crane, traveled to Israel to help make the case for the expansion of Israeli settlements. (For the conservative media group, Joe's qualifications must have consisted of agreeing that a vote for Barack Obama meant the death of Israel.) As he prepared to make the trip, Joe the Plumber was confident that the Lord had his back:
"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe. That's not saying he's going to stop a mortar for me, but you gotta take the chance."
If praying for divine intervention sounds like a bad insurance policy, it's also happens to be the same one Sarah Palin encouraged for the United States as a whole. But with this weekend's fallout, "Palin-Plumber 2012" is sadly a thing of the past.
(This piece also appears at Perrspectives.)
Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, "I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"
The only reason he's not in a mental hospital is because of tradition. And it's a damn shame.
"You know, I talked to god about that and was like" so totally no and such as.
Do they have drain clogs or pipe leaks in heaven? Why else would god call a plumber?
Yeah this guy is a real genius. How long did it take him to figure out he was being used as a tool for the republican party. Most of us caught on when we first saw the tape of him questioning then candidate Obama.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
was never a plumber. Everything about him from his name on was a lie.
Maybe Wurzelbacher doesn't hear God's requests to run for office because he's still using his old nickname, Sam the Deadbeat.
Joe the plumber, you ruined your own damn life.
Your were more than willing to jump into the limelight when you thought your bunch was willing. So quit yer whining, ya wuss.
"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." -- Robert E. Howard
I know I say this a lot, but it bears repeating...
Why is it that Republicans like Joe The Plumber are always so eager to pontificate on how very important it is for people to take personal responsibility for their own lives...yet when the excrement hits the spinning blades and their own backsides are on the hot seat, they're just as likely as anyone else to point fingers and portray themselves as helpless victims???? Do I hear glass shattering? In the words of Sarah Palin...YOU BETCHA!
Puh-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze...put a sock in it, Joe.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
"I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"
I wish God would say no to these people more often.
Is that the shadow of a teleprompter on Joe?
Just asking...
Palin had her talking points written on the back of Sam's head in Sharpie.
Oh, my mistake.
"I'm not getting rich, god damn it."
There's nothing to cash in on when your guy loses. Now he can't even work at Fox Terror because he might pass Sarah Palin in the hallway.
has upgraded to Fox Nukes.
...that Joe's upset because nobody's paying attention to him anymore, and he hopes to make himself relevant again by turning on McCain and Palin. Unfortunately, all this really does is show that he has no integrity and that he's just as guilty of using them as they supposedly were of using him. As I said in an earlier post, do I hear glass shattering? In the words of Sarah Palin...YOU BETCHA!
Joe should really seek work in the world of entertainment tabloid journalism, because he'd probably feel right at home there -- it's full of people who will praise your name to the skies today and drag it through the mud tomorrow, all in the name of the Almighty Dollar.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
If I could have a one on one with the almighty before bed I'd feel pretty good in the morning too.

"hey God," and God was all, "yeah, Joe?" And I was like, "should I, you know, like, run for parzeedent and stuff?" And God was all, "no, dude." So I was like, "right on, God." And God was all, "no prob, dude. If ya got any more questions, just hit me up, aiight?"
Then god hung up, turned to his god buddies and said, Okay which one of you is responsible for giving that quack my cell number?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
For the first laugh of the day!

You mean that dirty pinko who re-distributes wealth to children who didn't even work for it!! That's the kinda stuff that gets Sam the Deadbeat mad as hell, which then results in him...crying about it to the conservative "news outlet" desperate enough to report on it.
er Joe - that's dog........ not god
Yeah, Joe's a dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac. He stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog. On a lighter note, the one thing he has in common with Sarah Palin is if their brains were taken out of their heads and set, side by side, on the straight edge of a razor blade, they'd look like two BBs rolling along an eight lane freeway in Los Angeles.
Wow! That's good!
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
That was good!
Squirrely.
Joe the Plumber is totally a dick.
Louisville Lawyer
I wonder if standing in front of a crowd still makes Joe "horny"? That line at that dinner probably didn't do a lot for his public speaking career. Okay that and the fact that he's as dumb as a couple of sacks of rocks.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
a sack of hammers?
He sure as hell loved the limelight for the duration. Now that it's faded, he's pulling a Palin.
Hey Joe? What happened? Run out of money?
Seems to me, Joe is experiencing the down side of capitalism. He's broke.
Hey Joe? Who do you think is responsible for you going broke?
nevermind. don't answer that. teh st00pid strikes again.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
many books did he sell and where was the book tour withe the buses and the private jet?
That is one very dim bulb .
If god was really looking out for him he would have told him not to go along with the McCain campaign and stick his ass in the spotlight in the first place.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
"God said, "Well, you know, listen--I set you on a path, and go to it. See what you can do."...
This guy actually believes he is talking to some non-existant supernatural being? THAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS, folks. If it's just some bullshit he is making up, then he is a liar, and if he really believes it, he's a schizophrenic. Either way, nobody should take anything he says seriously.
"nobody should take anything he says seriously"
To my knowledge, no one ever has.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
...who he would not trust to babysit his children.
That was a "pearl" that one, alright.
Well I can understand why you would not know this but the 20%ers take Joe very seriously. Very very seriously. You see, they keep hoping they can have a relationship like Joe has with both Sara Palin and god. Don't worry that you don't know this. You are very smart not to stay this tuned into the 20%ers. Now the question is; why would I know this?
...it was his accountant. And what he said was "Joe, you know there is a pile of cash to be made here." And Joe replied, as Sarah did, "Use and abuse me, I'm yours."
Due to heavy call volume, it seems God has outsourced his customer service requests... to a group of think-tanks and other third/Tea-party associates.

Seems all those who have talked to him lately have been on the GOP side. A little wacky and somewhat demanding and judgemental. He just let me know he is angry and he is not going to stand for this anymore. His phone is off the hook for the forseeable future. I woulnt be at all surprised if he started smiteing some folks. If I was the GOP I might start practicing duck and cover drills. I think he is particularly mad at them for pretending to love him then doing bad things ( Sanford,et al). That is the thing that makes him angry you know really angry. To be a whited specular....one who acts one way and lives another really really bad life. He knows who you are. At least he knows those Dems are followers of the Anti-Christ and they are evil...but he is thinking of trying to reach them again. They at least are honest with him. They tell you straight up what they are doing and they do it. He will let me know what he decides straightaway. I will keep you informed.
Poor poor Joe... er, Sam.
He sounds like someone's ex-mistress who has been kicked out of bed and now blames her situation on the man she was sleeping with.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
got stiffed.
That too.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Why have you forsaken me? I'm broke.
God: Because I don't like You.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
has really become pathetic. when is this dude going to officially exhaust his 15 minutes of nonsense?
... if the same people or person who suggested Palin, also suggested and ordained the Plumber? If so, who was it?
It does not seem to be a match made in heaven. :P

I think they wanted to show that McCain's campaign was one of and for the every day people. Palin, a hick who had a litter of children and Joe who did a dirty job and wanted to better himself. You know, people just like you and me.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

Thank you for proving my case for the use of the term.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I just heard that Palin is going to be on BillO's show talking about what kind of family man she thinks President Obama is and I have to wonder, does she really want to go there?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
he would have had that damned ex brother in law kicked off the police force long ago. And you betcha that Aunt would not have been in public housing what with the big house in Chicago going unused, dontcha think?
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."

I imagine her main gripe will be about how Obama carries Sasha around under his arm every place he goes. How he walks out on stage with her, waves to the crowd and then hands her off to someone near by.
Then she may mention the rumor that Melia has her little boy friend living there in the white house with the Obama's. Of course there is the story of that little boy's mom selling illegal drugs from her house after she robbed someone.
Here's my red phone, the white house can call me if I'm wrong.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Oh, that will be rich. I may have to tune in....
And verily God said unto Joe: "Joe do not run. The world has all the misery it can handle. We have already seen what happens when an idiot is put in charge."
God told Joe, Don't make me go all 40 days of flood on your ass.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
that last check from the GOP bounced.
The GOP foreclosed on his gravy train.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
HELL no.

This guy got famous for approaching Obama on the street and asking what was going to happen to him because he was a plumber, about to buy out his boss and start taking in over $250,000 a year. Obama told him that he would be able to pay less taxes and save up more money for the buy out under an Obama presidency.
Of course, this guy was only working an untrained non-union helper for the plumber and was in arrears on his taxes. When the truth was discovered he was, of course, shocked that anyone would confront him with the truth contrasted against his lies. Hey, he was a nice guy who never tore people down. He's just a guy who thought up a lie to confront a guy running for President who gave him a straight answer showing how he would be better off if he were elected. Then Sam made a bunch of money telling people that the guy who gave him the straight answer is a liar and to vote for the people who gave him money.
Now the money's spent with little more coming in and he want to tear down those who promoted him and dumped him after the campaign, although he's still a nice guy who would never tear anyone down. Shouldn't have happen to a nicer guy. How much did he get paid for speaking?
Paul C
Didn't he write a book that sold two or three copies? Or, someone ghost wrote it for him. Doesn't this man own any shirts with collars?
Joe isn't blue collar and he isn't white collar, he's nude collar.
Which either means he is every man, or else it means that he has no visible means of support.
Yeah, I'll bet the IRS is going to "collar" him.
Oh joe,

Take a look at this confab we've been having on the Dallas Morning Nudes site; it's kind of related, since it's about sarah palin seen in the above right picture:

...stop me if you've heard this:
We know what Palin had written on her left hand. Do you know what she had on the right?
S E E O T H E R H A N D
We're not going to get very far if you keep injecting logic into the conversation!
Wow if he is talking to Pat Robertson and Joe the Plumber there is hope for me. They are such stellar Christians and Jesus must love me too. I am a Christian. Oh I forgot he talks to Sarah too. Gesh, you think I will have a chance to get a word in edgewise with those 3 chattering around all day and night. I have a few things I like to ask. Pretty important I might add. Sure hope even this lowly Dem has a chance. I have been pretty good. So I am hoping to come back here someday and let you all know what he is saying to me. Then I will call a press conference, CNN Fox....all the biggies cause I just know they will want to hear what I have to say. Maybe print mags will want to know too. I think this talking to God stuff can really pay off for me.
And around.. and around….down the drain... Joe The Fake Plumber goes……
LuLu
Who does Joe (I waiting intently on his very important opinion) think is the lesser of the two evils McCain or Palin?
I'm sorry. But why the F@uck do we care what this guy thinks again?
He thinks?
So who knew that God's Word left room for evolution?
That's not McCain's fault.
That's nobody but Joe (not his real name) the Plumber's (he's not really a plumber) fault.
He tried country singing...failed.
Failed at marriage..
Failed at being a 'war correspondent"
Failed at being a stand up comedian.
Failed to pay his taxes.
Failed to get a plumber's license
This guy is a complete failure.
The right wing's standard bearer is a loser who can't hold a job and blames everyone but himself.
The Right wing / Repug poster boy .
He wasn't even a real plumber.
Has he ever gotten a real job since McCain and Palin took him out of his nothingness?
What, did she run out of ink or palm space that day?
