Joe The Plumber, Is He Obama’s Nightmare?
Posted by Rick Barton on October 16, 2008
Chris Muir captured the essence of last night’s debate:
Could Obama be undone by a silent majority of “Joe the Plumbers”? The Drudge Report is now referring to the “Joe the Plumber Election”, and they may be correct. For all the highly edited media coverage of love and adorment for Obama, there remains a vast number of voters just like Joe, who came into the public eye by chance not choice.
The meeting between Joe and Obama has reminded me of a T-shirt supporting the Second Amendment that declared, “We are a Nation of Riflemen”. Obama’s greatest fear must now be, “We are a Nation of Joe the Plumbers”.
Joe weighed in on last night’s debate.
Diane Sawyer jumps in to defend Obama and gets her spin flushed.

Joe the Plumber is America’s hero, hopefully saving us from mandated healthcare and taxes.

Um, liars are heros? His story is turning into, at best, deception, but more accurately, an outright string of lies. This company he works for makes $100k, not $250k, and wouldn’t see a dime increase in taxes under Obama’s plan, so this could be a poisonous pill for Repubs to being taking right now. And did I mention he’s not a plumber? He staged something to try and make a point, McCain desparately bit hard, but now could end up with the biggest piece of crow in recent election history, so we need to let this plumber-wanna-be fade gently into the night and hopefully duck further embarrassment to an already struggling campaign.

Um, Liberals attack the person instead of discussing the issue? You attack Joe the Plumber to discredit him, thinking that you have somehow discredited the value of his argument (you will now attack me for responding to your attack. I can’t wait). This guy, Joe the Plumber, speaks eloquently for me, and probably for most of us in the middle class, on the ISSUE of higher taxation. Attack away, Andy, and it won’t change the ISSUE.
