Filthy socks

Remember "Joe the Plumber"? He had 15 minutes of fame back during the '08 election when the GOP hired him to be an 'everyman' who was against taxing rich people because he hoped to be one. His job was to ambush Barack Obama and give him what for. As I recall, he failed miserably. Candidate Obama was not ambushed and handled the question well. In my opinion, Joe was in awe of Obama. But, the spin had Joe *winning* for awhile because that's how that works.

Joe wasn't really a plumber anymore than I am. He no more a "Joe" than I am either, as his real name is Sam Wurzelbachachercocksucherdoorknocker. Something like that. Not sure of the spelling. He wasn't licensed and he wasn't in any danger of owning his own plumbing company and making over $250k and being taxed to death. In fact, after some sort of a failed run for some political position, he took a job a Chrysler. The stupid fucker probably doesn't recognize the irony of his party choice even when he looks at his paycheck. Don't support union busters and then get a union job! Joe the DUMBER!

After the recent murder spree in California, the father of one of the victims spoke out against gun violence and the lack of gun control. Joe decided to speak out against him. Joe said:

"As harsh as this sounds, your dead kids don't trump my Constitutional rights."

Motherfucker! He really did say that.

I haven't heard of any GOP officials condemning his words. Of course, he's not a party official....

He's a sock. He says things that the real party officials think but can't say. Of course, if you listen to Louie Gohmert , Issa, Jindahl and all, you wonder what wouldn't they say? Joe, Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter and several hundred other sock puppets sole purpose to exist in life is to say the harsh, cold-blooded things that Mitch McConnell is thinking but cannot say publicly. Joe The Plumber is just a live-action sock, like an avatar (profile) on an internet board like Topix or the political pages. I've read people on Topix say outrageous things and thought to myself that they- clown avatar and all- could be a tea publican candidate for anything. That's how bad things are. That's how sad things are.

If Sam What'shisname says says your dead kid isn't as important as his 2A *right* he's just an idiot on the internet. But, if he says it as "Joe The Plumber" someone you know who was famous for 15 minutes without being a Kardashian, you take a bit more notice.

What he said isn't the problem. It's what leading politicians didn't say that is disgusting. They didn't say he was wrong. They didn't even dismiss him as an ignorant asshole or live-action troll. The silence was deafening. He said what they were thinking though. They know it's wrong to think it. It might even be politically damaging to say it. That's why they have socks, many of them volunteers, to speak for them. Cowards.
