Glad to see Joe The Plumber back in action. Millions of Americans will NEVER forget the way the man was smeared, slandered, attacked and lied about simply for asking Obama a question. When Obama accidentally let show his socialistic leanings, the media and the lefties (I know...redundant), went after him with a fury usually saved for republican candidates, not ordinary citizens. But he didn't back down!
The lesson? Don't be afraid to ask leftist politicians the hard questions. God knows the lib media won't do it.

Joe the plumber was as you say smeared, slandered, attacked because he asked a politician a question, NO!!! he was smeared, slandered, attacked because he is a uneducated idiot like sarah palin, he is not even a licenced plumber, he asked a question about taxes he will never have the brains to make enough money to pay rate he was asking about. John McCain made this guy a symbol for his campaign. all he talked about is getting our country back, from who. at the time George Bush was president was he trying to get his country from George bush, No. he was a plant from the right, he asked Obama a question and he answered it. should have been end of story, but John McCain saw him and there was the rise of Joe the Non licenced Plumber.
