Are You “Joe the Plumber”?
Trying to capitalize on his constant references to “Joe the Plumber” in the final debate, Senator McCain’s campaign has launched a new strategy, with which they hope to win the hearts and support of hard-working middle-class Americans by supposedly giving them a voice during the last couple of weeks before the election. The campaign site claims-
there is no doubt that John McCain and Sarah Palin stand firmly on the side of hardworking “everyday Joes” who understand the value of honest work and the American Dream.
Of course, considering McCain’s wealthy heiress wife, multiple homes and having a cushy government job for the past 25 years, one wonders whether he can truly relate to the average “Joe Six-Pack”, as his running-mate so eloquently puts it.
McCain also needs to explain how anyone who voted for a tax-funded $800 billion Wall Street bailout can seriously claim to be on the side of tax-payers.
Still, if you consider yourself a “Joe the Plumber” then here’s your opportunity to get involved-
We want to hear from you and share your story with the American public. It’s simple … make an ad telling us why you are “Joe the Plumber” in 30 seconds and your video could end up on the air as a TV ad. Share your story of living the American Dream, working hard, or owning a small business to tell America why you’re standing with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
You can even create a personalized rally sign at the McCain campaign site.
Interesting tactic, Senator McCain, but here’s hoping that the average Joe isn’t fooled by more empty rhetoric and a last-ditch, desperate campaign ploy.

So true, Shana. McCain himself has been advocating alot of movement of wealth.
