Joe Soptic thought he was doing good by Obama. He thought, “I support the candidate and I am flattered they want me to do an advertisement for him.” Joe, I know what the operatives told you. They told you that you were going to put Obama over the top. They said, “Your story will determine the outcome of the election.” They called you, they told you they’d cover for you. They said they’d put you on television in front of a friendly anchor and make you look great. You might have even had a short chat with people you looked up to, like David Plouffe or David Axelrod. They reassured you that it would go great. You were going to be a hero.
The dominoes were lined up. All the bloggers and journolists were alerted. This was going to be your magic moment.
That all stopped as soon as everyone fact checked the ad.
Joe, I feel for you. Looking back on it, you might have thought, “The ad wasn’t shot that way”. It may have been edited. Once you told your story and the film was in the can, you lost all control. Now, you have to face everyone. You will relive your beloved wife’s death over and over again. The right wing and left wing media scrutiny will be awful. Paparazzi looking at your private life. It sucks. No ordinary citizen should have to go through what Joe is going through now. My hope is that they will just leave you alone.
My gut tells me that Joe Soptic is just like you and me. Ordinary. Provided a middle class life for his family and had a marriage end tragically when his wife got cancer. I don’t care about his politics even though we probably don’t agree. I bet Joe would be a great neighbor and a nice guy to have a beer with, watch a game with. Except Joe got personally played by Obama.
At least when a candidate screws up, like Dukakis in his tank, he does it to himself. Joe is a pawn in the grand scheme. He was manipulated. He’s just a cog in a machine and now he is going to get run over.
This is how the elite big government types treat the middle class. They are just there to be used and discarded. Now that the ad has blown up in Obama’s face, watch the campaign throw old Joe under the bus. They will run him over. That’s what happens when the middle class puts its faith in big government instead of in their neighbors and themselves. They become discards.
Joe will always be “that guy” now. He lives in infamy on YouTube. Years from now political scientists will do case studies about Joe. If Obama loses the election, Joe might get the blame. You know Obama would never blame himself for losing.
How low can the Obama campaign go? Wait until they get done with Joe. You will see how low they can go. Because its not the welfare of the people big government types care about. They don’t really care about me and you. They don’t care about Joe. Lip service is paid, but it’s only to get a vote. The only true worry they have is their control over the levers of power, and the pocketbooks of their friends.
Im supposed to feel sorry for some lying union goon who claims Romney killed his wife? No.
Couldn’t have said it better myself...
He’s in the Soptic tank...
Joe was standing on his wife’s body to help push Obama over the top.
I don’t feel sorry for anyone who supports Obama, no matter how sad their story. Obama supporters contribute to the deaht of my country.
Looks like Joe the Dumber didn’t work out as planned. How friggin’ sad.
I have a 1/4 inch violin for Mr. Soptic.
The Chicago political mob operates just like the Sopranos.
Once you’re of no value, you’re totally expendable.
“He’s in the Soptic tank...”
DING DING DING DING DING!
We, dear FRiends, have a winner!
GREAT ONE!!!!!!.....
>> You might have even had a short chat with people you looked up to, like David Plouffe or David Axelrod.
If Soptic indeed looks up to those two jokers, then he has cancer of the character.
I second everything everyone else said. This scumbag traded on his dead wife’s memory, either for a little fame or out of blind hatred. He had insurance after the plant closed and had other opportunities to address her cancer early and he didn’t, so rather than face the fact that he and his wife are to blame for their situation, he lashes out at Romney. The Obama bus rolling over him is what he deserves.
jumped the Soptic!
Another liberal idiot asshat bites the dust. So sad.
“My gut tells me that Joe Soptic is just like you and me. Ordinary”
...BZZZZZZ!! Incorrect. I work and pay my own benefits. I love my country. I’m nothing like Joe Soptic.
jumped the Soptic! Bender, I am pretty sure that the Obamination 
went septic a long time ago...
I hope that lying bastard never gets a decent night’s sleep.
same here.
The left have been doing this for years and years, our side attacks our own , the left gets people , promises them everything and when things go bad you’re out.
The only ones who get to stay are the likes of Holder.
This guy like Sheehan were used as othrs have been and now I’m supposed to feel sorry for a guy which used his wifes death to help him destroy this country even more.
One thing abut the writer of this and townhall and other so called media outlets like this .
What is it with many on our side, whether that be most in talk radio, Pundits like hannity or the GOP that they cannot just state the truth but instead always feel that they should have their hands open as peace?
The left fight tooth and nal , they go all out nad put the GOP on the defense but our side sits back, and thinks that if we’re nice to the media then they might like us one day and they won’t call us a name.
The homo anal sex agenda is a perfect example of were most in talk radio,Hannity the elitist GOP shuts up and thinks if we give them this they might like us, but cannot get it into their thick, dumb RINO heads that the majority are with us about their anal sex agenda and if the left wants to run on that then lets go with it as it’s a sure winner for us, .
Sometimes I feel that the elitist talking heads, GOP etc just couldn’t be bothered about winning so long as they keep their money, their job and their power and to hell with the country.
Fighting Newt, Rick, Cain, Sarah, Col Allen West all perfect examples where our side would rather take them out in order to be with the left.
