Joe Da Plumber


Disclaimer: I am not a plumber, although I have changed my share of faucets and even changed a garbage disposal or two. I don't even think I know any plumbers. I am also not on speaking terms with any politicians. I am pulling this analysis out of you know where.

There was shocking news that came out of Columbus, Ohio. Apparently "Joe the Plumber" has endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket.
The AP reports that...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Joe the Plumber endorsed Republican John McCain for president on Tuesday and agreed that a vote for Democratic candidate Barack Obama would be "a vote for the death of Israel."

Now I think everyone has the right to go to hell in whatever self-designed hand basket on wishes to, however, an endorsement for any political candidate should, at the very least be grounded in some sort of objective reality. The kind of reality that does not depend on false equivalences or aluminum foil conspiracies.

Joe da Plumber...no...I won't use that term anymore, the guy's name is Samuel J.Wurzelbacher,and from what I can tell, he is not licensed in the state of Ohio.

Normally, one can ignore the rantings of the delusional, and pray that they either get religion and see the light or remember where and when to get back on their meds. It is noteworthy only because the Media seems to want to extend his fifteen minutes.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher seems to believe that Senator Obama is is going turn the country into a socialist state, and has the destruction of Israel somewhere hidden in his super-secret, hush-hush plan to turn us all into Marxists. 

I doubt that there are many new voters or any one born after 1988 who can define Marxism, or for that matter truly define the so-called free market. 

The silly season is truly upon us, when ill-informed people are given a pulpit and some even get elected.

There ya go!

Sam is lying. Watch any interview of him. Someone from the McCain campaign is feeding him--he's adopted talking points in perfect symmetry with McCain.

He says he's never met McCain. Doesn't that seem strange? There's a conspicuous distance between the McCain campaign and Sam.
