You are letting color dictate your speech. Because Sammy was black you think he cannot be compared to Obama. Joe was color blind and just compaired a tap dancing politician to a real tap dancer. So who's the racist here?

Joe the Plumbing Contractor. The implication was that Sen. Obama shucks and jives.

Re: the distraction called Joe the Plumbing Contractor. Joe's income over $250,000 would be taxed at 39%, rather than the current 36%. So if Joe the Plumber makes $300,000, his tax bill goes up $1,500. That's $125 a month.

My cell phone bill is more than that. Joe is a Kool-Aid-drinking Republican plant. Old-style Karl Rove politics and so terribly, terribly tired.

A plant? Oh good grief. He's a real American with real views and real concerns. Extra taxes on any group is going to cause concern within that group or in this case, someone who is working hard to be in that group.

Is it really necessary to vilify anyone that opposes your master plans?

Scratch that last line of mine. You answered the question before I could even pose it.

That's pretty much the basic question we're all asking the McCain campaign.

Great, so because Bush and McCain both play the game that way, it's OK for Obama?

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Frankly I was hoping for better. I guess I should look into getting a seeing eye dog soon.
