So, for those that believe the Joe the Plumber, who isn't Joe and isn't a plumber, is the voice of the American every man here some more good stuff from the republican man whore. Call me silly but I think anyone appearing to advocate legislation ought to know what that legislation purposes.

See video here: http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/joe-plumber-admits-he-knows-little-about-efca

Joe the Plumber gets called out for being the clueless shill he is. He hasn't read the bill and can't answer questions about it, but he's more than happy to take someone's money to go out there and campaign against it. There's the face of the Republican Party, folks. Doesn't have a friggin' clue and willing to say anything for money.

From The Plum Line, whose title I stole for this post and could not have stated any better:

Oof. Looks like Joe the Plumber’s campaigning against the Employee Free Choice Act in Pennsylvania didn’t go so well.

Mr. Plumber, whose appearances were organized by the anti-EFCA group Americans for Prosperity, admitted he knew “little” about the legislation after being confronted with questions at one of the events yesterday in Harrisburg by a Pennsylvania progressive group. He was also heckled by dozens of Pennsylvania union workers, according to a local report.

And after his rough time in Harrisburg, he skipped a subsequent rally in Philadelphia, according to union officials who were there.

Here’s some video of the grilling Mr. Plumber took from the group, Keystone Progress, which prompted the irritated plumber to respond: “I know a little about a lot of things. But I don’t know a lot about everything.”

Pressed on the specifics of the law, Mr. Plumber repeatedly refused to answer, and finally lost his cool, telling his questioner: “Drop it, brother, drop it. I never said I was an expert, man.”

Not an expert indeed.

So one Republican has a bad day and every one of them are clueless, hateful psycphants?
It's nice to see that the left are so open minded, fair and bipartisan.
You won the election. Why all the hate? Shouldn't you wait until at least the 100 day mark?

What's that old saying about glass houses?

wow...Did I say every republican is an idiot shill?

I did not. Perhaps you ought to reexamine my post.

Oh...and I beg to differ with your conclusion that it is one republican here. Joe has been paid and promoted by the party. That sir betrays the actions of more than one republican. It indicates disrespect for the public and the party.

Putting forth a shill, and make no mistake that is what "Joe" is should indicate to the people that the party officials that decided to make this idiot their official spokesperson don't think the voters are very smart. Instead of choosing a competent intelligent voice to advocate for the parties position they chose a dog and pony show. I'd say that is insulting to the voters and to the party.

Oh and don't say I won the election. I am a registered republican. One that hates the idiots that says being educated makes one an elitist instead of a success, one that is ashamed of the bible thumpers that have taken over the party and who wish to impose religious rule in this country that is as objectionable as any country that makes Sharia law the law of their land, one that wants to puke when I saw the last several republican administration increase the size of government to obscene levels and poop on the Constitution, one that believes in states rights whether my party is in the majority in the federal government or not. All those clowns made a once great party an ugly, embarrassing mess.

The party and the last two republican administration squandered every opportunity they had to follow true republican ideals when they whored themselves out the the religious right and when they started celebrating ignorance.

So...keep believing the Joe the Plumber hype...that's just the sort hype the party who has now proven has little respect for the rule of law, for small government and the Constitution hope the willing sheep will keep swallowing.

I am afraid the facts and performance of the party and the last few republican administrations proves something else altogether.

HA HA HA or should I say BHA BHA BHA

"There's the face of the Republican Party, folks. Doesn't have a friggin' clue and willing to say anything for money."

Joe the plumber is now the face of the Republican Party? I thought Rush Limbaugh was?

This is all so confusing. Is Chris Dodd or Barney Frank the face of the democrat party?

On another note...

Is there any democrat that pays taxes? I mean really.. Now I am beginning to understand why democrats love raising taxes..

Because they dont pay them....

That is the face of your party.. Wear it well..

Every time I watched Joe the supposed plumber, I winced for the republican party, who had to be thinking, damn the people saw right through that bull. And indeed they did, it embarrassed the few republicans I know here. Hell I was embarrassed for them. But Joe the plumber did represent many of the supporters of Palin and McCain. And why they lost.

Don't worry I have plenty to say about some democrats as well, but the topic is Joe the plumber.

The Speaker of the House of my state was ousted for not paying taxes. His replacement just admitted "overlooking" taxes due. Both are Republicans. i don't know where you get your information but I can assure you I pay my taxes.
