Let's face it, this article does exactly what it's intended to do: Attract people who think this kind of stuff is funny right before elections. It excels at this. -- SPY Administrator (Complain|I rock|In memoriam) HMRFRA WH 19:31, 27 October 2008 (UTC) For. --202.152.175.182 06:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC) 'I LOVE YOU JOE!!!!

Against: 14.5	Against. Stupid first paragraph. 216.254.228.94 22:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC) O lol Ok, great, we all love Joe, I'm going to vote for Joe on election day, Joe is funny, great. It all comes down to whether the article makes me laugh though. The article doesn't make me laugh. I know there was a lot of work put into it, and I was there to see it. I even put in a few edits and some pictures myself. I just don't find it to be featured quality though. Sorry. -RAHB 22:41, 22 October 2008 (UTC) Weak against. It's good, but gets too caught up in continuity, and drags a bit. I also feel like it lacks direction. When I read this, I'm not really sure who's writing the article. Is it the vaguely conservative, overtly patriotic tone of a political lobbyist for Joe's campaign, or the omnipotent encyclopedic style of a historian from the future? There are also a few random one-line things thrown in that, while they may have been funny if expanded on, really just confused me when I read them. I just removed two examples in the lead section. There's potential here for at least two great articles, but keeping them together detracts from the page overall, IMO. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 01:30, Oct 23 Against. The whole article was rather bland, and the final section just turned me off. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 15:39, Oct 23  Against. - Per the others--Sycamore (Talk) 19:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC) Against. -- Hi, hey! I'M A MOTERFUCKING NIGGER BITCH LOVER 20:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Against. Sure, it's topical, but it's also sloppy (typos and errors abound), the humor is random, it deviates from its central theme to the extent it has one, and it isn't very funny. Also, something about the Mario hats just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the fifty thousand shitty articles on Uncyclopedia that feature Mario. pillow talk 23:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Wait, so somehow Joe the Plumber is like Mario, but he doesn't really do anything Mario-like, and he really really likes to do plumbing work, but he's a politician, and he smokes weed, and he has sex with his wife, and... ah fuck it; I don't get it. --S0.S0S.0S.0S0 01:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Against. Per So So. --UU - natter 15:03, Oct 28 No thanks-- Phlegm Leoispotter * (garble! jank!) 23:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC) Joe has been celebrated more than he ever deserved already. Including the Joepedia day. IronLung 01:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)  Against. per Hyperbole -- PaddyAtkinson 02:13, 1 November 2008 (UTC)  Against. He isn't even a licensed plumber. --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 02:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)  Against. well written but nothing laugh out loud. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 05:53 4 November 2008 Against That's political satire for you. Funny last week, boring this week, baffling next week. --Cap'n Sir Ben GUN WotM VFH VFP 02:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Comments	Ironfist's signature apparently breaks numbering. » DJ "Reaper of Fail" Gentoo, now with wit, sarcasm, and even more obscure folk metal. Now in lime green! 19:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Interestingly enough, I think you're right. COLIN ALL YOUR BASEHEANEY! AMERICA JOE THE PLUMBER IN '08!!! 19:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC) YES! Score 1 for Gentoo! » DJ "Reaper of Fail" Gentoo, now with wit, sarcasm, and even more obscure folk metal. Now in lime green! 20:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC) I fixed it. You know why? 'Cause that's how I fucking roll. pillow talk 23:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC) UPDATE - I fixed various continuity errors, grammar errors and added a new image. To anybody that voted against, it would be appreciated if you reviewed your vote. :) - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 00:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC) As a note, I think the article is done. It's a good length, gets the point across about Joe's life up to the end of his first term (which, as stated in the intro, is the cut-off point of this article's timeline). It's got some darn good photos, lots of detail, and if it gets longer, I think it'll start to bore people. I personally think it's the perfect length for an article in this sense, and I hope people will rethink their votes. Quality over quantity and that Uncyclopedia, although has humor, is a satire wiki, and this article is written in a satirical sense based on the presidential debate. - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 20:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
