Joe the Plumber (Can we fix it, yes we can)...

AAL 2:

This is a little Limbaugh Echo Syndrome here, but I do want to ask, "What if the media investiaged Sen. Barak Obama the same way they've investigated Joe the Plumber?"

The SCUM seem to be very selective who they go after. They've turned Sarah Palin's life upside down within a couple days of her selection, they've done the same now with Joe the Plumber (who knew he would be the October Suprise).

But there's no way you can say CNN has been that in-depth on Obama. Otherwise, Rev. Wright would've come to light a year ago when radio host Sean Hannity was beating that drum, or more people would know about mobster Rezko giving Obama a sweetheart deal (I'm not going to use "bribe" in two posts in a row, oops too late) on his house. Or Biden, caught plagerizing a speech from the British parliment, if you are hearing these things for the first time, you're a victim of the SCUM.

Even a columust at Slate (no bastion of conservative thought mind you) admitted Biden is getting very different treatment than Palin.

We pause here for a couple asides:

* For the Record, Fox is reporting that Joe the plumber isn't expected to earn above the OWL (new blogword, Obama Wealth Limit, slang for $250,000, sample sentence: New York Ranger Aaron Voros now earns 4 OWLs a year since leaving the Minnesota Wild), and reporting that he has tax liens and may not be licensed. I got all that without having to watch a SCUM network like CNN or MSNBC.

* This post was originally going to be added thoughts from the debate, I did want to say Schieffer did the best job of all the moderaters. I liked his question formula "You said, such and such and you said such and such, why are you right and why does the other guy suck."

Back to the post:

All I wanted to establish is the right never get a fair shake, those that disagree with the right seldom go after the ideas (there are exceptions), they go after the person. I get it that with regular politicans, they put themselves in the public eye. But if the personal attacks aren't backed up by policy relavance it's sounds flat.

I do find it disturbing that the SCUM have gone after a voter for just asking the politican a legitamate question. If every voter gets scrutinized this heavily for asking questions I weep for the 1st Amendment (much I like I did after McCain-Feingold passed, but that's another issue).

Does the fact that Joe the Plumber is still below the OWL mean that he's not allowed to believe in not screwing those above the OWL? This is certainly the implication of Obama's condesending question "How many plumbers do you know that make $250,000?" As if that disqualifies Joe from having an opinion about those above the OWL?

Does the fact that Joe the Plumber isn't licensed mean he's not allowed to ask Obama about the OWL?

Does the fact that Joe the Plumber owes taxes mean he's not allowed to ask Obama about the OWL?

If you answered yes to any of those questions you have a serious 1st amendment problem. Joe the Plumbers alleged problem probably mean he's too checkered to run for president, but remember there was only one guy running for president in that conversation, and it wasn't Joe.

The guy that answered the question gave the "share the wealth" answer, that's an answer american on all parts of the political spectrum don't like. That is now a problem for the Obama campaign. And to cover the fact they need to run from that answer, they are attacking the questioner.

Presidental Debate Part III

Anger Alert Level: 1 (Low, in fact I'm almost giddy)

I don't know what part of the debate I liked best...

1) The part where McCain said he wasn't racist and Obama blew him off

2) The part where Obama had to defend his screwing of Joe the Plumber (which really demonstrates Rush Limbaugh's contention that Obama's american dream ends at $250K)

3) The part where McCain told Obama to run 4 years ago if he wanted to oppose Bush

4) The part where Obama had to defend not sticking to his pledge to stick to public financing unlike McCain

5) The part where Obama had to defend the $850,000 ACORN bribe

6) The part where Obama couldn't defend foregin policy "expert" Joe Biden's stance against the first gulf war, and against the troop surge.

7) The part where Obama couldn't explain why he opposes offshore drilling and nuclear power when that will get us off of forgein oil

8) The part where Obama looked absolutly confused on free trade

9) The part where he had to admit that small buisness may not be able to afford his government healthcare plan and would be exempt since the big buisness were the only ones that could afford it.

10) The part when Obama tries to say he reaches across the aisle but missed the chance to join McCain's "gang of 15" on Bush's appointments (in the interest of full disclosure this is one of the reasons I don't like McCain, but it illstrates Obama's partisanship and inablitly to bring people together)

11) The part when Obama explained that his present vote to kill abortion survivers is in fact being opposed to partial-birth abortion

12) The part when I distinctly heard NEA members across the country cringe when McCain suggested that bad teachers find another line of work

13) The part where McCain so succinctly summarized Obamas position on school competition and vouchers "Because there's not enough vouchers; therefore, we shouldn't do it, even though it's working. I got it."

As of this I've only watch about 30 minutes of the Fox News channel panel, and they seem content to take the PC-everyone's-a-winner-line saying this was a draw and therefore Obama won. I don't buy it, these punches landed and will shape the tone of the last few weeks. Is it too little too late for McCain? that's the only question, but he hurt Obama tonight, make no mistake.
