McCain backs Joe the Plumber and smacks Obama the Socialist (Keep saying it Mac!)
Drudge Report ^ | 10-17-08 | Drudge

Mac smacks Obama the Socialist - "The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn't ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks."

If Obama wins, doctors will be out of jobs. Universal Health Care and rationing will be instituted. Income will be limited with fewer specialists allowed.
Obama’s health plan is the same as his energy plan:
GET OFF YOUR LAZY FAT ASS AND WALK TO WORK!!!
You will be healthier and the air will be cleaner.

What they have done, and continue to do, to Governor Palin has been reprehensible and repugnant. But in defense of those who have worked so hard to slander and defame her it can be stated that Governor Palin got into this game volutarily with eyes wide open. But all Joe did was ask a question after Hussein chose him at random from others in that neighborhood. Joe isn’t running for office and isn’t a part of any campaign. He is just an American citizen exercising what, up until now, has been his right to free speech. The question was straight-forward and clear and Hussein gave an honest answer. And THAT is the problem. By exposing a core belief with his answer Hussein has jeopardised his campaign. So naturally the propagandists have to do everything they can to distract from the answer and to provide an object lesson of what happens to any citizen who dares put anything in the way of The One no matter how innocently it may have been done.

And I agree completely with those who say this is only a hint of what awaits us if this man becomes president and has a fillibuster-proof senate to work with.

Isn't that amazing.

If Obama wants to run against Joe the Plumber he should switch his occupation to plumber.

When I feel I need some therapy, I go fishing!

Barry & Big Media are making us all a little nuts with the socialist policies and bias.

We are not getting used to it, we are going to be on the winning side of McCain-Palin. Freedom of speech is being threatened but we are going to win this one.

Was everyone who signed up in 1998 this doom and gloom? I would like to hear from people who signed up in 1998 that are optimistic.

I wouldn’t guess most plumbers make $250K, but they work for contractors who work for people who DO make over $250k.

And, as noted on another thread, who’s to say the $250K won’t be lowered to $200K or %150K?

This will decide this election, “Joe the plumber” changed the topic and is now the focus. Obama tried to make it look like he was going to take money from the little guy from the Monopoly game and nobody cared. Now “Joe” has put a face on the “rich fat cats” obama is going to take money from. People look at Joe and are saying, “that’s me, he is going to take it from me”.

Joe's question wasn't even that tough, nor was it delivered in a disrespectful manner, nor was it meant to "twist" his words. Even if he turns out to be a "plant" I don't care. No one made 0bama answer the way he did. 0bama could have said something about paying your fair share blah blah blah, and not launch into his socialist utopian vision.

The one question he didn't duck he answered by selling socialism. I'd like all of America not to buy, but I'll settle for some swing states.

It’s official: The MSM has now spent more time looking for dirt on a regular citizen than they have in investigating the Chicago Annenberg Challenge or Ayers/Dohrn or the phony COLB that 0bama posted to his website.

I’m proud of Joe the plumber and I hope he has a future as an elected official or a leader in some significant capacity. He can have a positive impact.
