'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.
Listen to a clip of Wurzelbacher's appearance in which he discusses a potential bid below.

I think a better ticket would be Father Fleger & William Ayers. After all they would surely adhere to their partner in crime Obamas policies.

On one hand it is a good thing to actually have average American citizens (not elitist cockscukers) serve their country and put in their four years, but on the other hand, if this is the start, this country really has no fucking clue what its doing. First off this guy was a fucking plant so its dishonest from the word jump. Secondly, he isnt that bright and lied about his own personal situation that allegedly effected him. As far as the other half goes... she is a double talking average woman. Dont we have enough of those (take a look at your wives)? She constantly contradicts herself and just plain isnt smart or shrewd enough to be a politician, she doenst pull it off. Listen, im all for lowering taxes and getting the country back on its axis giving the government back to its people, but these two ARE NOT A GOOD START.

Thats the stupidest thing anyone could consider. No fucking way an average citizen can be the president. Your thinking outside the box doesn't apply here ok? Just stop already.

Hey asshole go read the fucking constitution, nowhere does it say you have to be dangling on strings to win it. Also, i wasnt just talking POTUS, i was talking politics in general. Hence you dont have any policies that are what people want.First of all, all these politicians are in the pockets of the bankers, lobbyist, special interest and yes that includes your boy Obama as well. Its ok, drink the kool aid and everything will be ok. I make 40k a year. I would benefit personally form a socialist government that McCain would continue and one that Obama will put on speed dial. But i dont think whats best for me, i think whats best for this fragile union. That in there lies the problem, you say i think outside the box, i call it thinking beyond me. This is a selfish pussified country and everything we get we deserve.
