I understand why people who are strict Conservatives dislike him, but the hateful comments directed his way are ridiculous. He's a war hero who's been a good public servant. He's made a number of policy decisions I disagree with (and far more that Conservatives would disagree with), but at worst that makes him someone who should be defeated by another politician with better ideas. I'm still trying to figure out how JD Hayworth fits that bill. Not to mention the fact that he’s one of the few politicians who doesn’t try to enrich himself via his office.

I assume he means that he was thrown into the public eye and received unwarranted attention. However, if that is what he meant, why does he jump at any chance to give interviews and make public appearances? I don't really think anyone wakes up and thinks to themselves, "I wonder what Joe the Plumber thinks about ___" This guy is an attention whore. I don't even know why I clicked on this article. How can he say John McCain is not a public servant? The guy has given his entire life to serving his country. Disagree with his views, decisions, comments, but don't say he isn't a public servant. That is just wrong and silly. John McCain is a damn hero. How did McCain ruin Joe the Plumber’s life? I assume he means that he was thrown into the public eye and received unwarranted attention.

I know people that didn't make it to the 3rd grade that have succeeded in life. That being said there is no need for the pathetic over educated to be smug to those that have no college education. I know many college grads that are dumb as a box of rocks. They have no ability to survive in the real world. they haven't the ability to apply their knowledge and in some cases retain what they learned. If college was all that good why do so many come out with no ability to write legibly or spell. Is their golden education above penmanship?

I think John McCain is a Republican "Progressive" as his silly daughter professes to be. I hope Sarah's support of him doesn't damage her too much. If you want to talk about someone's 15 minutes expiring long ago, you can look to the silly valley girl, Meghan McCain. She needs to just go away! Far, far away.

Liberals have been treating them like crap for most of their lives. Somehow attending college (and obtaining post-grad degrees) became a method of showing how much smarter you were than the next guy. The Left loves to look down their noses at people they don't feel are as sophisticated as they are. It's utter crap. Higher education is great if you're using it for specific job training. Assuming it says anything about your intellect or you being superior to the next guy is laughable. Well, now you know how most people feel who chose to work instead of obtaining higher education.

Like everyone else, you're only human. No more or less perfect than any politician out there. When you get your feet in the muck, as happened with McCain, just stay honest and work your way out. I like you and I think you will eventually be a great help in some way. It is clear you want to do something.. Just stop answering questions from elitists and idiots who want to replay the last election and trap you into looking like an fool. Some of these wads only pull that tactic on conservatives. Ignore them. Make yourself clear. Stay strong and tell those trying to use you to f' off. Joe

The elitism and condescencion here is palpable. Since when is an average citizen who wants to enter politics something to be sneered at? Isn't that what the founders envisioned- a citizen legislature that would go to Washington, do the business of the country, and then return home to live under the laws they passed? Career politicians like John McCain are what's wrong with this system. Because of careerism, we now have laws and rules put in place to all but ensure incumbency, encourage corruption, and make sure problems never get solved. We are ruled, not governed, by a class of academics and Ivy League lawyers who make a living out of parsing words and only passing laws that exempt themselves and can be skirted with language manipulation. You wanna laugh at Joe? Fine. Hope you like what you're getting, because it's only going to continue and 90% of the professional crooks there now, bribing you with your own tax dollars, will be back.

Its time to clean house on both sides. McCain needs to stand aside and let some new blood in. We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't ran such a pathetic campaign for president. We are in a bigger mess because of Both parties. Americans really need to start voting more responsibly and put down the partisan straight ticket mentality. Someones voting record and life style and achievements should be part of a politicians portfolio. Criminal backgrounds and citizenship should be vetted by the CIA/FBI before they can even start a campaign.

He was used by the McCain campaign, but if it hadn't happened, nobody would be asking his opinion about anything. I'm not sure how that is better. Maybe he should be angrier at the Democrats (including Obama) who attacked him for no apparent reason (one nutjob even using her job to snoop in restricted public records about him). Then again, maybe nobody's paying him to be angry at the Democrats. It’s fine if he doesn’t like McCain (or Palin), but I’m curious to know why anyone cares?
