Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher related to Charles Keating.
October 16
Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.

ahahaha... ouch! what no comments :D amazing...

I don't think there is any relation
just some weird synchronicity

Oct. 17 That Joe the Plumber guy sure was the perfect example of guy-next-door, just-wants-to-make-an-honest-living-without-excessive-taxes blue collardom. Or so the McCain advisers thought. Just as the McCain campaign failed to thoroughly vet Sarah Palin though, it also failed to thoroughly vet Joe the Plumber before McCain started dropping his name like he had Tourette Syndrome.
Evidently Joe the Plumber isn’t just any old Joe; he’s a relative of Charles Keating, the corporate giant who dragged John McCain into the Keating Five ethics scandal years ago. The Charles Keating that was jailed for duping clients into buying junk bonds and convicted of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy. The Charles Keating that went down with Lincoln Savings and Loan, a company which required a $2.6 billion bailout from the government. The Charles Keating that contributed $112,000 to McCain’s campaigning during the 1980’s, sent the Arizona senator on trips, and left McCain in Senate Ethics Committee hearings. Yes, Joe the Plumber is a relative of that Charles Keating.

so busted... This was done through connections.

Is Joe Wurzelbacher related to Charles Keating — and does it matter?
By Michelle Malkin • October 16, 2008 That’s been the left-wing blogger obsession all day. It started with a post from GOP blogger Martin Eisenstadt, who says that Joe Wurzelbacher the Plumber is a “close relative” of Robert Wurzelbacher, who is the son-in-law of Charles Keating. Robert Wurzelbacher served time for his role in the Keating 5 S&L scandal, gave a lot of money to Republicans, and is retired in Cincinnati. There is still no clear indication how exactly they are related and what “close” means.
:o

The big thing that's becoming clear is that this guy was handpicked through connection. I have to ask what does that say if McCain has to do such a thing to make a point about Obama's tax plan? It means he couldn't find the perfect Joe America to highlight... and not to mention, as revealed, "Joe" would actually benefit from Obama's tax plan. serious WTF McCain...
on a side note, some dirt on Joe, he was also caught up in some domestic violence charges:

What else did Americans learn about Wurzelbacher this week?
Among the factoids gleaned from state and county records:
He is registered as a Republican, and voted in the state's GOP primary in March, county elections records show. But he was previously registered, dating back to 2007, in the Natural Law Party.
He has lived in McCain's home state of Arizona - in both Mesa and Tucson.
He lived in GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's home state of Alaska - in North Pole, from September 1992 to July 1993.
And as comic Bill Maher pointed out, in his 15 minutes of fame, Wurzelbacher has already done more interviews than Palin.

The issue isn't what Joe's exact income or if he have an uncle that once voted republican.
The question still stands and Hussein answer is still fucked up, won't matter if that was asked by McCain in a debate and that was the answer from Hussein.
BTW so can there be company too big to exist ? ::)

Hit the search button yet you brought up posts from multiple different threads across the course of multiple months. Must have really bruised your ego to make you read through a dozen or so threads and pick out my posts in them.

Bent me? Nope, I just making it clear to the rest of the forum that you've been feeling slighted by me for a while now, so much so that you're willing to go through my posts to try to dig up evidence, while still failing completely. Hurts, doesn't it? :D
