Joe the Plumber...If this don't do it...I dunno...

It took about two days for this to hit the mainstream media...I hope it gave them a lot of uncomfortable gas...

All the more reason to step up and vote to keep this from happening...There is nothing good about Obama, never has and never will be...

Joe the Plumber is taking a beating in the MSM and is being portrayed as a racist and McCain lackey.

Shame. On. Them.

I have been a racist for a long time if this election makes me a racist. I work with a bunch of racists. I tried to talk a friend at work today (Hispanic - whatever race that is - Hispanolia?) into being a racist 'cause he was saying how great Barry is. I am married to a racist, have racist sons. I plan on introducing my grandson into the racist lifestyle when he is old enough to understand.

Typical MSM coverage.
The story is not "Joe The Plumber".
The story is Obama saying "spread the wealth".

McCain needs to focus on what Obama said and not let the MSM
reshape the story.

But.... McCain's "deer in the headlights" look when Obama said Joe would not pay any fees probably was not his best moment. lol :roll:
Good job, but too late.

I was just watching Fox and they had an interview with Joe the plumber. The thing is they have turned this whole thing around and about Joe and it is not about Joe, but what nobama said...take from those that have it and give it to the poor...sounds familiar, huh? This is some scary stuff, and of course this is only the tip of the iceberg of what is going to happen if he does get into the White House...Lord forbid!

I have already doubled what I have been giving to the NRA and the TSRA. I have done all I know to do. I have talked to everyone I come in contact with, including the barber (who was voting for nobama)...now it is time to pray!

Sadly, McCain demonstrated why no one is excited about his campaign. In responding to the Joe Plumber issue, he was doing great talking about how redistributionist schemes would destroy small businesses, but then he blew it by promising loans and health care. Wait... who are you going to take that money from in order to give it to Joe Plumber? And what if Joe made $500,000 instead of $250,000?

:roll:

McCain is no more opposed to taking from the rich and giving to the poor than Obama is. He just uses different criteria for "rich" and "poor".

Mr. Obama is a snob. Watch the video.

Y'all probably realize I'm no fan of McCain, because he's too far to the left for me (Obama is off the chart, of course).

That said, the "Joe Plumber" coverage has been insane. Within 36 hours, the mainstream media had uncovered and reported more about "Joe" and his taxes, divorce, income, status of his license, businesses dealings, etc., than they've reported in the last 18 months about Obama and his association with Wright and Ayers (amongst others). Not to mention the questionable sources of the hundreds of millions of dollars the Obama has received and is currently spending on huge media buys.

Oh, they've "reported" the Republican "accusations", and the airily dismissive reply by the Obama campaign, and that is that. What do you mean, "biased media"? We covered that issue thoroughly. Nothing to see here, move along!

:roll:

This entire campaign season, starting almost two years ago, is ample evidence that the names on the ballot aren't chosen by voters, they're selected in media boardrooms and editorial meetings.

I have to think that history will be unkind to our media and the results if BHO wins. If the state polls hold, McCain hasn't a chance in heck of winning at this point. Obama owes the news media big time for their support.
