When you use someone like "Joe the plumber" to shore up a failing campaign you should expect to be ridiculed. I was a McCain supporter, this was the last straw. I don't intend to vote for anyone. If McCain thinks "Joe the plumber" represents the common man he has a very poor opinion of us. I don't lie, even to make a point. I love my country and I pay my taxes, even when it hurts to see millionaires pay less than I do. I work at my job not run around the country trying to profit from some senile fool's pathetic attempts to gain some footing. Yes, I am very bitter that McCain has led us to this point with his vacillating and stupid choices. What happened to the real McCain? He would never have chosen Sarah Palin as VP. I have nothing against the woman,except she has no experience, no knowledge base and doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut so she isn't flaunting those facts. When SNL says "Joe the Plumber" is McCains imaginary friend, they are right. Joe is out to profit Sam, his real name. I don't know why this resonates with Republican voters. I personally took it as an insult. We are not all Joe the Plumbers.
