I didn’t know what to think after 2008. The voters didn’t realize that after Joe the plumber, that Obama really was interested in spreading the wealth around? Didn’t it imply that Americans gave up on capitalism and were ready to embrace a new socialist country?
The problem was that Republicans such as DeLay, Bush and McCain didn’t quite the make the case for free markets and limited government either. Obama wins the debate by default.
The tea party came along and said “forget about what those republicans did. That’s not what we believe. This is the constitution, this is what it says and this is what we are for and will fight for.” Americans needed to be educated by the tea party because many of them forgot what this country was founded on and needed someone to remind them.
The Left talks about the spreading the wealth around. But when they’re asked to do it, they take a walk.
C'mon, the MSM painted Joe as one of those zany, right-wing, small businessmen with questionable tax payments. What did he know about economics, other than to be made out to be a strawman for Obama to tear down?
