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!

Yep, the Gentry cared about other Gentry folk. The others were beneath them, the indians and slaves were on the level of animals. Yep, really good time of Christian love. Maybe it's time to read the real truth about many of our former presidents. Thomas Jefferson is a good one to start with!

Oh, just your average Gazoogle searches. Correcting the mendacity and falsehoods of wingnuttia has become sort of a hobby of mine.

I also have access to one somewhat advanced research tool.

Of course, perhaps you don't know the meaning of "non-binding" - or you didn't read it closely enough.


And if you read the last paragraph, looks like the McCain campaign doesn't pay attention to what factcheck says, which is not surprising.


Obama has NOT voted against tax cuts for the middle class.


The McCain campaign claims that Obama voted to raise income taxes on individuals who earn as little as $32,000 per year. That's wrong.


  • The resolution Obama voted for would not have increased taxes on any single taxpayer making less than $41,500 per year in total income, or any couple making less than $83,000. The $32,000 figure is approximately the taxable income of a single person making $41,500 per year, after all deductions and exclusions.


  • Obama's vote (for a non-binding budget bill) does not change the fact that his own tax plan would provide a tax cut of $502 for a non-married taxpayer earning $35,000.
Update, July 11: After this article was posted the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee aired a radio ad in two states repeating the bogus $32,000 figure. The campaign also sent an e-mail to reporters defending it, but failing to note that it refers to taxable income and not total income.
