'Joe the Plumber' Mulling Run for Congress

@ 1:29 pm by Hill Staff
Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber," said Friday he may consider running for Congress in 2010, challenging longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) in the Toledo-area district.


"I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight," Wurzelbacher said during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham show Friday, "but, you know, I'd be up for it."


"There is a movement afoot to draft you to run for Congress," Ingraham said. "Joe, let me tell you something: you decide to run for Congress, and I'll help you with your PR, I'll help you do your ads, I mean, I'll volunteer to help you."


Ingraham's producer, Brad Feldman, said that during the break after the segment, Wurzelbacher told Ingraham that his statements today represent the first time he has acknowledged considering a bid for Congress in public.

Wurzelbacher said he did agree with Kaptur's vote against the bailout, and touted his support for a flat tax on income.


A Springfield, Ohio native, Wurzelbacher became a target of fame and scrutiny after Republican candidate John Mccain referenced the plumber during his third presidential debate against Barack Obama. Wurzelbacher confronted Obama during a campaign spot in northwest Ohio preceding the debate to ask Obama about his tax plan.


Supporters launched a website following Wurzelbacher's rise to prominence encouraging him to run for the seat.


Kaptur has represented Ohio's 9th congressional district since being elected in 1982, and has easily secured reelection in years since. She is expected to easily defeat Republican opponent Bradley Leavitt next month.

He's been doing plumbing work illegally for 10 years now without ever getting a plumbers license and claims he's "working on it". Something tells me he suffers from too much procrastination to actually run for congress. Or maybe he would fit right in.

Yes, we have had some stinkers recently. However I'd just like to know the foreign politicians that you hold in such high regard.

LOL

Honest truth - when I think of foreign politicians the first thing that comes to mind is Italian parliment pornstars and Sarkozy. You know Bill Clinton is cursing his luck that he wasn't born a Frenchy.
 
This isn't that surprising.

But the real depressing part about it is that a great intellect, strong character, well thought out policies, and a moral compass, today, takes distant back burner to just being recognizable, when it comes time to run for office and vote.
 
I'll drive to Toledo and gift wrap a 12-pack of "Natty Lite," a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, and a DVD copy of "Over the Top" and leave it on his doorstep the night before the filing papers are due.

What? You think he'd get them in before the last day? :lol:

Officer John McClane is a hero who has battled terrorists in LA, on airplanes, in NY and some place else no one else has seen. If Joe has his backing all I can say is Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker
 
He'll never win. There's video of him palling around with some terrorist Hussein mothafucka.

That Kim Jong fellow seems nice and non-threatening. I've seen the pictures of his country. Talk about infrastructure upkeep! The roads look like they haven't even been used!
