Republican presidential candidate John McCain supports Joe the Plumber, who makes $250,000 a year.

He isn’t talking about Joe the construction worker, who makes much less than $250,000.

He isn’t talking about Jane the waitress, who makes much less than a construction worker.

He isn’t talking about Joe the high school janitor-bus driver.

No, he isn’t talking about Jane, the single mother who lives in a city ghetto.

He’s forgotten Joe the garbage man, Joe the policeman and Joe the fireman.

And he isn’t talking about Jane, who works for minimum wage, has two jobs and is looking for a third job.

And he certainly isn’t talking about Joe, who lost his job because his American factory was moved overseas.

No, Republican John McCain isn’t concerned about ordinary, working American men and women.

Why would ordinary working Americans vote for John McCain?
