Joe the Plumber Endorses McCain

Joe the Plumber has made it official: He’s supporting John McCain for president.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, referred to as “Joe the Plumber” by McCain during the final presidential debate, threw his support behind the Republican and at a McCain rally in Ohio Tuesday, reports the Associated Press.

Wurzelbacher also had tough words for Barack Obama. He warned that electing the Democrat as president could turn the country into a socialist nation. Wurzelbacher also agreed with an audience member who asked if he believed that “a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel.”

“I’ll go ahead and agree with you on that,” Wurzelbacher said.
