UPDATE:\u00a0 So, the raving lunatics at Daily Kos are, predictably, attacking Joe the Plumber<\/a>.\u00a0 So much for being on the side of “working class families”.<\/p>\n

It seems to trouble these nitwits that Joe is actually his middle name.\u00a0 It’s as if they think someone whose legal name is Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who chooses to go by “Joe”, must be somehow deceptive.\u00a0 This is really funny coming from a crowd half of whom use ONLY a first initial, then a middle name and last name.\u00a0 You know, things like J. Pingpong Pierpants, and the like.<\/p>\n

So what’s wrong with going by “Joe”?\u00a0 The nutroots don’t say…\u00a0 but they find it “veddy, veddy suspicious”.<\/p>\n

But there is even more horror in Joe’s deception.\u00a0 He doesn’t even have a plumber’s license!\u00a0 He’s not a member of the plumber’s union!\u00a0 So they say he isn’t really a “plumber”.<\/p>\n

This is classic.\u00a0 In the world of the Left, if you aren’t part of the collective, you don’t exist, have no function, and possess no identity.\u00a0 You’re simply nobody.\u00a0 Joe doesn’t NEED the license at this point, under Ohio law, because he works for someone else who has one.\u00a0 Simple as that.\u00a0 But, you see, he isn’t REALLY a plumber, because he doesn’t have his union card.\u00a0 Imagine that: practicing piping without a license.\u00a0 Simply criminal!\u00a0 And more proof Joe is not to be trusted.<\/p>\n

And then, the final straw:\u00a0 Joe owes back taxes!\u00a0 The Daily Kos calls him a tax cheat.\u00a0 One can only wonder what we’d discover if we had access to all the tax records of Kos diarists…\u00a0 but in the meantime, I thought a tax cheat was someone who avoided paying in some illegal way, not simply someone who was officially behind, and working on it.\u00a0 Not good enough for Kos:\u00a0 if you aren’t caught up on donating blood to the collective, you’re a bad little worker bee, and had better drain a few more ounces, right now.<\/p>\n

What this is, of course, is the same kind of treatment Sarah Palin got, minus the sexist references that the “feminists” on the Left thought it appropriate to hurl at the single most popular Governor in the USA, who got to her position on her own, without piggy-backing on her husband’s name, purely on her own guts, drive and intelligence.<\/p>\n

It sounds to me like Joe has those same characteristics, which is why, of course, the Left will do its best to destroy him, as soon as possible.\u00a0 They’re only for “working people” who salute properly, line up for the dole in good order, and don’t get uppity.<\/p>\n

Resistance is futile.<\/p>\n

I am really impressed with Joe the Plumber<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you notice how clear he is?\u00a0 How easy to understand?\u00a0 How unflappable?\u00a0 Calm in the storm?<\/p>\n

This guy should run for office.<\/p>\n

Why don’t our politicians sound this?\u00a0 Simple.\u00a0\u00a0 They’re mostly trying to hide what they really think, so they stumble around trying to figure out how to keep you from finding out what they believe, down deep.<\/p>\n

Joe just speaks from the heart, out of his worldview, without reservation.<\/p>\n

“Joe the Plumber” Calls Obama a Socialist for his “Spread the Wealth” Comment on Fox Nexs<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 This is not, of course, the first time plumbers have affected elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 Here’s Michelle Malkin’s take<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, suddenly, the journalists who wouldn’t lift a finger to investigate Obama’s longtime relationships with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright sprang into action rifling through citizen Joe Wurzelbacher’s tax records. Politico.com reported breathlessly: “Samuel J. Wurzelbacher has a lien placed against him to the tune of $1,182.92. The lien is dated from January of ’07.” Press outlets probed his divorce records. The local plumbers union, which has endorsed Obama, claimed he didn’t do their required apprenticeship work and didn’t have a license to work outside his local township.<\/p>\n

Hang him!<\/p>\n

After Wurzelbacher told Katie Couric that Obama’s rhetorical tap dance was “almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr.,” the inevitable cries of “bigotry” followed. (There are now tens of thousands of hits on the Internet for “Joe the Plumber racist.”)<\/p>\n

Welcome to Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome. If you can’t beat him, smear him. It’s the Obama way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
