So, Joe the Plumber has finally come out and formally endorsed McCain.
Really? Wow. I didn't see this one coming. The guy gets famous by talking to Barack Obama at a rally and then morphs into this everyman figure that McCain adopts into his campaign strategy.
Not a bad move, actually. Who can't empathize with a regular Joe who works day in and out, just trying to make ends meet? Also, who can't feel the pain of a guy who doesn't have a license to do his job and owes the government some cash from a few years back?
But if this Everyman quotation is any indication of how the average American thinks, then I think we've got a problem with reality perception:
"In a McCain rally at a flag store, Wurzelbacher said he feared that Obama would turn the U.S. into a socialist nation."
Remember, he eats babies and he's a Muslim, too!
It's a good thing this election is almost over, because I know I'm not the only one tired of these pathetic attempts to smear "that one." Welcome to the land of Social Security, food stamps and the Division of Family and Children's Services. It's still an America founded on capitalistic values.
And no matter how thin ya slice it, Joe, it's still baloney.

So you're going to go with the rest of the media and point out Joe's lack of a license - like that has anything to do with this election - huh?
Never mind that your statement is completely misleading since his employer is licensed and under his supervision, Joe doesn't need to be licensed "to do his job," as you put it.
And about the whole "Obama is a socialist" thing. People are basing these comments on what Obama HIMSELF has said, like "spreading the wealth around" and "redistribution of wealth." Are you living under a rock?
These are socialist values, and there's no way around it.
Great comparison with the "eating babies" and "he's a Muslim" remarks. Genius juxtaposition.
I will say, however, that you are absolutely right in your acknowledgment at the top of the blog that your ramblings are irrational and insipid. But I would add "unintelligent" and "a waste of time" to that tag line.
And in case you're interested in how the good people in the UK see it, here you go:
'You have to pinch yourself - a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters,
is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it's considered impolite to say so.'
