Joe The Plumber: McCain “Appalled Me”
Joe and John aren’t gonna be friends any more:
Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”
Recalling a conversation he had with McCain about the $700 billion financial industry bailout in September, Wurzelbacher said: “When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen.”
“I asked him some pretty direct questions,” he continued. “Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”
So why didn’t Joe speak out about this during the campaign? Because he still thought McCain was the lesser of two evils:
Asked why he didn’t leave McCain’s campaign if he was “appalled” by the candidate, Wurzelbacher said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.”
I’d have a lot more respect for Joe if he’s spoken out against McCain during the campaign.
Joe still loves Sarah though, according to the article.
