There will be a run on plungers this weekend for people wanting to take them to rallies (McCain AND Obama rallies).

That’ll be good for the economy!

I think it would be great if Joe the Plumber went on the trail.

He will be on Huckabee on Sunday night.

I sure hope this turns out to be the election’s defining moment.

Obama's answer to this guy, and his and Biden's subsequent sarcasm toward him, may show just how Obama's gotten this far--by saying NOTHING.

The first time he opens his yap, his big puppet head has nothing in it but the usual liberal contempt for the "working man" they supposedly love.

On its own this may have been a one-day story, but it connects with his comments about people in Pennsylvania and their religion and guns--it shows the pattern of his thinking.

Don't underestimate the power of those earlier comments--people don't need to be TOLD, they can make the connections themselves...and now they're starting to wonder about this guy.

I watched the interview the press had with him (it was posted on youtube, I think.) He touched on the economy, the war and success in Iraq, being proud to be an American, etc. The guy’s better at articulating what’s wrong with Obama’s platform than McCain is...get him on the stump and let him talk!

and away go marxists
down the drain

How do you like how they’ve dragged out That One’s plumber to get a few more kicks in at Joe?

Someone on TV said last night, (can't remember what I was watching) the Republicans want to keep talking about Joe in order to change the discussion from the economy. I thought to myself, "Liberals...you just don't get it do you? "JOE" IS THE ECONOMY". This is what it's all.

My aunt is a democrat because she says the democrats are for the little man (eye rollage). This is another classic example of how the democrats attack and assault the little man with not just their words, but their ideas and policy.

It's brilliant, isn't it?!? A gift from God in the final weeks of the election. A humble plumber who easily summarizes the winning issue with one question, becomes a national symbol against socialist oppression and gives us a handy "token of resistence" represented out of all things...a plunger.

In my mind, it's stirring how the Lord can take the least of things and raise them in this way. It's no accident. It's providence.

POWER TO

THE PEOPLE!

The left are tearing into Joe. His real name is Sam, he doesn't have a license and he owes back taxes oh ya, he is divorced. They are saying he would keep more money under Obama's plan..

I HATE THE LEFT.

From Obama’s lil red book.

“All power comes from the handle of a plunger”.
