Title: Plumbers send Joe down the drain

As Joe Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber,” looks for support for a possible congressional run, he won’t find a lot of backing in one particular demographic: Plumbers.

Some of the nation’s most notable plumbing trade organizations are reacting to news of Wurzelbacher’s run with disinterest or, in one case, disgust.

Rick Terven, Sr. is with The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada (know simply as “UA” to the 340,000 members it claims) and writes POLITICO in an email:

“As you know both Dennis Kucinich and Marcy Kaptor are also considering this race and have stood by working families time and time again. In doing so they both have earned the strong support of our members in Ohio. ‘Joe the Plumber’ may have played a part in the 2008 election story, but we know that the plumbers of the United Association and all other plumbers who care about working people will continue to support either Democratic nominee, not ‘Joe the Plumber.’

“‘Joe the Plumber’ does not represent the United Association nor our union members in any way. This is someone who appears to care more about being a celebrity than actually helping working families.”

It was revealed this week that Wurzelbacher filed papers for a potential House run in northern Ohio, although he has yet to make a final decision.

Jim Kendzel is the Executive Director and CEO of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers and hadn’t heard of Wurzelbacher’s run until POLITICO’s phone call. And he didn’t seem moved by it either way, saying: “We encourage all of our members to be active in legislative and code process both at the local and state and federal level promoting good plumbing, engineering practices.”

But as for Wurzelbacher, specifically?

“We really don’t have any comment related to that.”

Well, except on one minor detail: “I don’t believe he’s actually a plumber.”

Kendzel’s right. Wurzelbacher rose to prominence during the 2008 campaign between Barack Obama and John McCain and earned the moniker “Joe the Plumber,” even though it was subsequently revealed that he wasn’t a licensed plumber.

It’s a distinction that’s not lost on the plumbing community.

“I don’t think he’s actually licensed,” said Charlotte Perham, senior director of communications for the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association, which bills itself on its website as “the oldest trade association in the construction industry.”

“I don’t know a lot about him,” said Perham, although she did know that “he’s not a member of our organization.”

“At this point, we don’t have any comment.”

lol. I do plumbing work all the time. I can do any plumbing work a "licensed" plumber can.

A K A, why is it important to you that "Joe the plumber" be considered an actual plumber? Is it because once revealed he is not a plumber than he is exposed as just being a delusional cult member of the GOP prosperity/racialist/end times cult?

Joe the Plumber WAS a plumber. Joe the Plumber also cleaned 0bama's clock, inducing him to admit he was a Communist whose goal was the "spread the wealth around."

I don't mean any disrespect to our host, but I'm going to tell it like it is.

Our nation is in big trouble, she needs us, she needs us "UNITED" more than ever in history, and as long as people like our friend Stone thinks he can placate both sides in this fight, uniting ourselves just ain't going to happen, you don't give the enemy a soap box in your home to spew his anti-American hate, not matter how unfair you might think this is, their views and what they want to turn this nation into is what we are fighting to prevent. We either want to win this fight, uniting our people in numbers that can move mountains, or spend our days logging in and watch more of the same division, disruption and hate these pathetic fascists are spreading. If they had come here to learn, these liberals, then they would have learned something after all these years, that should tell anyone today they have no intention of listening, or learning, or even civily debating, it is either their way, the fascist way, or the highway.

In the beginning, our young nation was iliterate and simi-literate, they never had the advantages and tools to educate themselves we have today, but we have them today because of these "ILITERATE", backwater, ragtag people.

They brought themselves together to form a nation "UNDER GOD", they were smart enough, and brave enough, to put their differences aside to write, and put their john hancocks to the Declaration of Independence, a document charging King George with offences and crimes against our people, and to back it up with WAR to defend it. They were a pathetic lot, you'd be hard pressed to find two that could read or write.

Not one man who penned his name to the US Constitution was a perfect man, there is no such creature and never will be, they may have been iliterate and backwards by todays standards, but they were brave enough and smart enough to know how to put their differences aside and create a document that was to protect our God given rights as humans, and even smarter know there would be traitors (present company accepted) who would do anything to destroy this precious document.

You whine about me attacking some posters instead of addressing the issue at hand, well I'll tell you, the issue at hand is our Republic, something you and your big government loving socialist pigs would not understand, nor do any of you wish to, your mission is to tear this nation apart and re-create one tyrants like Che, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler would have loved.

There are those here who defend the right of women to murder unborn babies, by the millions because they had a accident and want to get rid of it.

There are those here who shred our Bible and Gods word in favor of perverts who commit abominations because it feels good.

No one knows better what is happening in this nation than the elder Poles, the Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and so on, who have been there, and live to tell about it.

I know about most of what is discussed here than you will ever be privy to, but it's not the issues I avoid, most who count know exactly where I stand, it's just that I don't like you, I don't care for anything about you, If there were a better word to use than 'loathe', I would it to discribe how I feel about you, beneath contempt is where you are, you put yourself there, along with all these other low and commom anti-Americans, you deserve nothing more than contempt, and you will receive nothing from me but contempt.

But don't feel like the lone ranger, you are not alone.

The day you EVER pull your ignorant head out of your ass and do something, anything, as historical and of importance as our 'iliterate' founding fathers did, that will be the day you can boast, until then, you are an insulting little putz, a pisher no one pays attention to, who's twilight years are being spent in pissing contests on obscure websites...you have learned nothing, you have contributed to nothing that will make the lives of future generations better, or save our country from the hands of it's enemies.

In the beginning, our young nation was iliterate [sic eye roll] and simi[sic eyeroll]-literate[sic eyeroll], they never had the advantages and tools to educate themselves we have today, but we have them today because of these "ILITERATE" [sic], backwater, ragtag people.

You're out of your mind. The Founders and Framers of this nation were all very highly educated. If you read the letters of Adams and Jefferson alone, you will discover them to be replete with references to Locke, Hobbes, Calvin, Plato etc etc etc.

They brought themselves together to form a nation "UNDER GOD",

Yet, oddly, left that fact out of any of the public documents that they produced.

they were smart enough, and brave enough, to put their differences aside to write, and put their john [sic] hancocks[sic] to the Declaration of Independence, a document charging King George with offences [sic] and crimes against our people, and to back it up with WAR to defend it. They were a pathetic lot,[cs] you'd be hard pressed to find two that could read or write.

The man who wrote that document was Thomas Jeferson, a man whose literary output included a journal of species of birds of the colonies, a bible that omitted any reference to the mystical God or Jesus, and A Summary of Rights of the British American.

John Adams was a lawyer.

John Hancock graduated from Boston Latin and Harvard.

Josiah Bartlett was a physician.

Caesar Rodney was a lawyer.

The list goes on and it should be personally embarrasssing to you that you know so little about them and would mischaracterize such learned men as illiterate.

I know about most of what is discussed here than you will ever be privy to

Wha...huh? Everything that is discussed here is visible to everyone. You're no more privy to it than any one else.

but it's not the issues I avoid, most who count know exactly where I stand, it's just that I don't like you, I don't care for anything about you, If there were a better word to use than 'loathe', I would it to discribe how I feel about you, beneath contempt is where you are, you put yourself there, along with all these other low and commom [sic] anti-Americans, you deserve nothing more than contempt, and you will receive nothing from me but contempt.

I'm deeply hurt.

[snicker]

Do you really believe that I give a flying fuck what you may ***think*** about me Mammy? Seriously, by what MAJOR malfunction of the chemical reactions inside of that roomy cranium of yours would you believe that I would care even a canary sized shit about the visceral sensations that you get from people on the internet?

You know absolutely diddly over squat about me. You have no idea how I live my life or who I really am or what I do. IN fact, and here's a helpful hint...LESS IS MORE in terms of what we want to know about YOUR life.

I admire Murron's passion.

I've been posting on various boards since the Clinton Administration. I was very naive when I began in that I thought most people would - if given facts and logic - have enough of an open mind to at least consider other viewpoints.

I learned early on that wasn't the case - at least 90 to 95 percent of the time. Most people (and I'll include myself in this) are pretty much set in their ways and comfortable with their beliefs.

After I absorbed that truism, I looked at the time spent on political chit-chat sites as strictly entertainment. Oh, I still learn something from time to time, and I have changed at least some of my viewpoints. (believe it or not).

But I still applaud passion on the conservative side when I see it.

I'll leave the "nit-picking" and "fact-checking" to others - you, perhaps.

You can take this as constructive criticism.

Or not.

When you use flames like "mammy" or "boofer" (since you didn't coin those), it suggests you are simply a follower, since someone else (who has many faults, but lack of creativity isn't one of them) came up with them.

If that's your intent, then fine. Just thought I'd point it out.

I came up with Mammy, as in Mammy Yokum from Lil' Abner. Fell free to use it.

Every time she posts I see that image of a small, angry old woman smoking a corncob pipe.

Tell me that doesn't fit "our" Mammy to a "T".

Nice rant, but the dwarf isn't worth the time to read, let alone respond to.

Chuckles...the database shows that you comment about me all of the time and you just got caught lying about having me on filter.

But you have a very nice day, Boofer!!!! A bowl of chili might help!!!

(who has many faults, but lack of creativity isn't one of them)

Many?!? C'mon...there are better adjectives...

Plethora...

Heaps...

Shitload...

And I was going to say that it was Fred or Skip who came up with "Mammy" but Skip has stepped up here.

On the other hand, BOOFER is all mine and is so goddam fitting it's like the word was invented just for him...

After all, he is so special...

And I think he might be mistaking passion for a drunken rage.

You left a few people out of the PING box of that little bit of moralizing, dude. I would also challenge you to find any flame/name calling/diversion etc that was initiated by me. The first thing that you should be applauding is reality. All else may then follow.

Thanks.

Let's see, I've been 'whininggold, whiningwhore', to name just a few that occur everytime I post, generally from Get's bestest buddies, without nary a peep from him.

If he ever bothered to apply his advice to Libby there would be no reason for her to ever post here again.

I admire Murron's passion.

Your first reaction should be dismay at her ignorance of American history. She just pulled the internet version of:

It does, for some reason. I also find the name works perfectly in exclamatory sentences, i.e. "Great Boofer's Ghost!", and "Great Galloping Boofers!"

That he looks like Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet only makes it better.

There was also "goofysmom" for lucysmom, until someone clued him in that his insult was directed at the daughter, not lucy. It took quite a bit of time before he caught on.

The first thing that you should be applauding is reality. All else may then follow.

That prompted me to look up some reality quotes:

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ~Philip K. Dick

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ~Albert Einstein

Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling? ~M.C. Escher

No man will be found in whose mind airy notions do not sometimes tyrannize, and force him to hope or fear beyond the limits of sober probability. ~Samuel Johnson

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. ~Abraham Lincoln

Most passport pictures are good likenesses, and it is time we faced it. ~Katharine Brush

There is an objective reality out there, but we view it through the spectacles of our beliefs, attitudes, and values. ~David G. Myers, Social Psychology

Objectivity has about as much substance as the emperor's new clothes. ~Connie Miller

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces. ~Sigmund Freud

How do we know that the sky is not green and we are all colour-blind? ~Author Unknown

There are no facts, only interpretations. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

What is reality anyway! It's nothing but a collective hunch. ~Jane Wagner, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, 1985, performed by Lily Tomlin

What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist. ~Pablo Picasso

I am a thread too slender To suspend all this reality... ~Phillip Pulfrey, "Madness," Love, Abstraction and other Speculations, www.originals.net

What was once called the objective world is a sort of Rorschach ink blot, into which each culture, each system of science and religion, each type of personality, reads a meaning only remotely derived from the shape and color of the blot itself. ~Lewis Mumford, "Orientation to Life," The Conduct of Life, 1951

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. ~John Lennon

Humankind cannot bear very much reality. ~T.S. Eliot

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. ~Democritus
