Joe the Plumber is the game changer I think. It gave McCain his narrative to hit Obama for what he’s really doing - spreading the wealth - taking our money and giving it to someone else. Though I wish he would say spreading the wealth equals socialism.
If he keeps this up and keeps hitting hard, he will win.
This theme needs to go big very fast. I’M WITH JOE!
Freepers need to spread the word in every place there is a MAC or BO raly.
Purchase plungers and make signs in this theme to take to the rallies.
We are all plumbers now that need to unclog the system from impending over-taxation (Socialism) and the legalized ‘theft’ of our hard earned income.
Call to MAC/Palin campaigns and organize people to go with you.
If you are going to bring a plunger, remember that you can’t bring the stick part into a rally. So if you are staying outside a BO rally, that’s fine. If you are headed into the rally, you need to replace the stick with rolled corrogated paper carried separately until you’re in the rally.
This theme needs to be the universal cry against Socialism and carries the implicit message of unclogging the “waste’ from the system.
A dozen guys with plungers just freeped a BO rally in VA!
Support Joe, the first average Joe to stand up to the tyranny of neo-Marxism!
(We can say out his middle name “JOE”, but we can’t say Hussein without the risk of a lead pipe to the knees.)
They are attacking him relentlessly.
So be it, it will reflect badly back on them just as their attacks on Sarah have done, and it will continue to smoke Obama out for the marxist/socialist he is and the real impact of his so-called "change".
Just as Patrick Henry indicated, and that truth still holds today...if we will hold the course, God in Heaven will raise up friends to help fight these battles.
Sarah Palin is one such friend...now, out of obscurity, Joe the Plumber is another.
All thanks for this goes, IMHO, to a merciful God in Heaven! and millions of hard working, partiotic, loyal Americans who will not give up...two of which, Joe and Sarah, have been brought forth before us all to express these sentiments.
The truth is that the left, the Obama campaign, the DNC, and the MSM will lie, fabricate, misquote, commit fruad, beg, borrow, or steal in their effort to slow down what is happening on the ground with the McCain campaign right now, and particularly with the likes of Joe and especially Sarah Palin who is burrowing underneath all of their hype and drawing 25-30,000 people at a time to her rallies and getting the message of hope and conservative values out.
Obama and his ilk know it, they fear it, and they will do anything they can to stop it...but they shall also fail in the attempt. Truth has a way of shining all the brighter in darkness.
I can't believe the McCain camp didn't vet this poly plant. McCain is running the worst campaign since Michael Dukakis.
TRADES PEOPLE OF AMERICA UNITE!
The liberal elite look upon blue collar Americans with disdain. They also underestimate their intelligence and ability to spot a phony who wants to squash their idea of the American dream.
IMO, this will cost Obama the election. In their zealous efforts to help Obama, the MSM are hammering the nails in the Obama campaign’s coffin.
Survivors of 9-11 at the WTC commented how they, the white collar workers, had no idea what to do or how to respond. The gray- and blue-collar workers took action and saved the lives of many white-collar workers. The left does not value people such as these, who comprise a huge portion of the country.
Why would they need to vet a private citizen? He is a voter who dared ask “The One” a question. No vetting needed.
I do think Joe has changed the election. If McCain wins, this story should be made into a movie.
Are you calling the plumber, a plant? I watched the video, the plumber was minding his business in his front yard, and Obama walked up to him.
Besides the issues is not the plumber’s credentials, but Obama’s telling what he truly things...we need to “spread the wealth around.”
That is your opinion, but then you are entitled to it
What the hell are you talking about??
Interesting that you would think Joe is a plant. Obama came to Joe's home and asked him for his vote and then Joe asked Obama a simple question. So, you believe that somehow McCain got Obama to walk down that street where Joe lives, come up to Joe standing in his yard, and ask him for his vote? If true, WOW, McCain has scary scary powers.
Obama talked to the guy and the guy was literally able to smoke Obama out in five minutes on a neighborhood street and get him to explain the purpose of his policies to "share the wealth".
McCain would have been foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity and its is precisely because he did that the issue is remianing in the public eye about Obama's socialistic policies and their impact.
No need to vet Joe...and now the more the left attack him, the more other good, hard-workign Americans will see it and responsd negatively to the attackers.
flattorney is obviously a troll
