No, we applauded Joe for standing up to Obama and asking him a relevant
question and showing Obama for what he is, a socialist.

You don't know what you are talking about. You don't need a license from
the government to say you are a plumber.

What relevance is Joe's lack of support for McCain? He obviously doesn't
support Obama either.

No, it is quite relevant in that Obama plans to increase taxes on those
making over $250,000. Joe was posing a hypothetical example of a person
grossing over $250k who would be hurt by Obama's plan.

I made no such admission.

So what? He brought up a relevant question which showed Obama as a socialist.
