'Joe the Plumber' gaining ground in money race against Rep. Kaptur
The Hill ^ | April 16, 2012 | By Josh Lederman

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, the congressional candidate known to most Americans as "Joe the Plumber," is gaining ground in the money race against Rep. Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), the Democrat he will face in November.

Wurzelbacher raised about $172,000 between January and March, and finished the quarter with more than $80,000 in the bank.

That's not a huge sum — especially for a long-shot challenger taking on one of the longest-serving incumbents in the House.

Kaptur is running in what was two safe 'rat districts merged into one. She could easily underestimate Joe the Plumber who is nobody's fool. If Obama goes rogue and the election becomes chaotic, which could very well happen, anything is possible. Al Franken, Jesse Ventura, Joe the Plumber?

Kaptur is a straight up communist, and "Joe the Plumber" ought to call her one to her face.

Scumbags like her walk around in broad daylight instead of slithering under rocks because the same degenerate blue blood country clubbers who nominate the likes of the coward from Kolob are petrified of being accused of McCarthyism, lest they be stripped of their perks and privilege.

While Joe is at it, he might as well announce he won't support the mormon bishop for POTUS under any circumstances.

THE RNC IS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION.

He would do well to show voters that Marcy Kaptur confused Fed Chief Ben Bernanke with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. I got a sick feeling in my stomach and my soul that day four years ago that I might have for the rest of my life.
