Joe the Plumber: McCain Used Me

Christopher Weber, Editor, Posted: 02/15/10

Joe the Plumber became a household name during Sen. John McCain's 2008 campaign, but now the man also known as Sam Wurzelbacher has harsh words for the former Republican presidential candidate.

"I don't owe him s---," Wurzelbacher said about McCain over the weekend. "He really screwed my life up is how I look at it."

Wurzelbacher made the comments at a campaign event for state Republicans in Pennsylvania, according to radio reporter Scott Detrow

"McCain was trying to use me," Wurzelbacher said. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy."

He went on to say McCain "is no public servant."

He says he dislikes McCain so much these days that he can't bring himself to support Sarah Palin either because she is campaigning for McCain's re-election.

At the same event, Wurzelbacher made some comments supportive of Barack Obama, saying those who question whether the president was born in the U.S. "belittle and set back" the conservative movement.

He said he appreciates Obama for his straightforwardness: "I think his ideology is un-American, but he's one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do."

People are really struggling with the "Truth" about politicians these days.

The truth is that they are all liars.

Joe the plumber WAS the average american, until he peaked behind the curtain.

Unfortunately, he still wants to believe in a hero.

It's just human nature, if you find out one guy is a jerk, then the other guy must be a better person.

I recently asked a friend why he voted for obama, he said, "he was the lesser of two evils".

Destiny, that is so true.

Well, Joe the plumber is back on tonight on Hannity. I think he is retracting on his latest words. Hehehe. He is realizing what it means to step into politics - your every word is national news.. and you better stay consistent.... with you buttered side of the bread!

He was whining about this same thing right after the election, its a broken record from him. He was trying to turn his 15 minutes of fame into a broadcast career. Does anyone know if he suceeded?
