I wish he would have done it last night. He couldn’t articulate what Joe just did. He couldn’t even call it socialism.
Obama’s plans are a sitting duck, just waiting to be knocked down. They’re dumb, and they’re unAmerican.
Joe’s just a regular guy and so am I, but when both Joe and I could have done a better job against Obama, there’s something WAY wrong.
Unfortunately, that's true.......but there are a million Joe the Plumbers out there whose job it will now be to drag McCain the Human Sandbag into the breach to stanch the socialist tide.
We can do this.
Too many “independents” and “moderates” consider “socialism” to be name calling and waving the bloody shirt.
It could be softened with a simple question -
how is “spreading the wealth around” different from Socialism, Marxism, and Communism?
Because Communism is totalitarian?
Pray tell, how else will it be implemented?
Calling it socialism won't work (even though that's the truth). Republicans have used that playbook for decades and when people hear it, their eyes glaze over. In two paragraphs, Joe explained it in real terms that even a 5 year old could understand.
Conservatives really need to learn some new political jargon. Joe gave them some ideas.
“Obama’s plans are a sitting duck,”
Just call them for what they are, Socialism while playing a little Merle Haggard in the background and talking to Joe the Plumber.
“Working Man Blues” by Merle Haggard
“Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain’t never been on welfare, that’s one place I won’t be
Cause I’ll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern,
Cry a little bit of these working man blues”
A nice tribute to Joe and the other working men not voting for the socialist.
