| | Joe the Plumber: McCain made me feel 'dirty;' Sarah Palin 'the real thing'
 "Dirty."
That's the word Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher used to describe how he felt about being singled out by the candidate who made him famous in an interview with conservative radio Tuesday.
Wurzelbacher told radio host Glenn Beck he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”
Wurzelbacher said he was unhappy with some of the answers Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) gave about the bailout. “I asked him some pretty direct questions... Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”
Asked why he stuck by McCain's side despite being "appalled" by the candidate, he said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.”
Wurzelbacher "had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin."
“Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said. "With Sarah Palin, I don't want to say I felt a presence but she definitely had energy and she definitely went to work for American people, and it disgusts me on how often they try to bash her just for her sincerity. It's just, you know, she really wants to work for America and I mean, I wish people would listen to her and let them, and let her work for us. You know, she wants to serve us. She's not looking for power."
