How will Joe’s employees be insured, if he’s exempted from being required to insure them? Did Obama say something about this that I missed? -FrL- ---

Joe is a plumber. He’s not a nurse, or a carpenter or a lumberjack. He’s a plumber. His name is Joe. He is rich. Cut him to ribbons, Obama. I am fascinated by McCain’s writing–whatever could he have to write down? His super secret plans on how to get Bin Laden, fix the economy, welcome our Columbian overlords? What is it with McCain and cosmetic surgery and implants? Is Cindy addicted to that now? ---

> [@Martin\_Sable](#): > > Of course, I’m listening on the radio instead of watching on TV. I wonder how much of a difference that makes. It was a factor in the Kennedy/Nixon and Carter/Reagan debates. I think it makes a big difference. I’ll readily believe that McCain is coming across better on radio than on TV. ---

> [@Frodo](#): > > help a poor person who cant see the debate, what that “zero” stuff? are they debating japanese fighter planes? McCain desperately wants to know what Obama will fine small businesses if they don’t provide healthcare for people. Obama said “Zero” and McCain looked fucking knocked out of his chair. ---
