Atrocious to Smear a Private Citizen

I think it is atrocious for the press to try to smear a private citizen who merely used his first amendment rights to question a candidate! He didn't ask for all this attention, and he has not stated who he will be voting for, but since John McCain received some points in the debate last night about an exchange "Joe the Plumber" had with Barack Obama the press is out to destroy this man. Good Grief! The man is a plumber! An average citizen. Now the left wing is trying to vilify him like he's George Bush! How HORRIBLE! And the extremists on the left seem to be following in lock step. No compassion for an ordinary man UNLESS he shares their socialist viewpoint. This is about as dirty as it gets!

Actually I have heard Sarah Palin say it several times. All you have to do is go to Thomas and check his record. It's all public and easy to find.

How is spending money on infrastructure socialist? Where do you think the money for infrastructure usually comes from? Taxes. The government builds the infrastructure - either state, county, city, or federal. That is not socialist - that is one of the functions of government.

Oh gotcha.....lets see, my daughter probably buys the same amount of toilet paper as Paris Hilton or you, and yes, absolutely, she should pay the same tax on her $5,000/yr. salary as a college student as Paris and you

But would your daughter buy expensive cars, boats and other luxury items??


The rich would be paying more and it would at the same time, promote saving for the people who wanted to save instead of spend.

Then why has he been smeared? If he agreed with Obama he would be a HERO in the press!
