unrulytravller: Thanks for commenting. Actually every American that had hoped to move up in society stands to lose from Mr. Obama’s tax policies. It’s not that the liberal left doesn’t care, it’s that they just don’t get it. I cannot attest to what Joe’s dreams and desires are, but I can attest to mine and my neighbors and Mr. Obama’s plan has the potential to punish us if we are able to achieve moving up and succeed in fulfilling our dreams. This isn’t good for economic growth.

Read some more on this site and you will find that the writers here at the American Missive are not backers of the bailout which Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain BOTH voted for.

Actually Joe The Plumber does stand to benefit from Obama’s policies because he does not earn 250,000 a year. And let’s talk about socialism for a moment, and call George Bush a socialist because he wanted the bailout. What’s the bailout have to do with socialism? Simple: The companies ran themselves into the ground, and instead of letting them go, Bush (and the rest of the government to be sure) gave them money to help them out. And yet, I don’t hear anyone who calls Obama a socialist say the same thing about the President. Is it because he’s a”free market guy” and a Republican? Or is there a difference here that I’m just not seeing?
Yeah, Joe the Plumber got a lot of undue attention and grief, from everywhere, and of course we should be able to question our leaders. But then I think of Cindy Sheehan, and the flack she got for challenging Bush on the Iraq war and the death of her son. So again, we see that the “right” does the same things as the “left” but neither side wants to admit that they can both be grade A classless jerks.
As far as the attacks on Palin, yeah they were there, but she was an unknown, and you not only have to question policies, but history. The people of the US need a chance to get to know her. Should her children have been kept out of it? Absolutely, but that is, unfortunately what politics have come to in America, personal attacks rather than focus on the message. She is doing the same thing to Obama with her talk of terrorist and anti-american sympathies. And let us not forget Swiftboat, the brain child of Karl Rove that killed Kerry’s campaign in 2004, or the defamation of John McCain’s character as perpetrated by the Bush campaign in 2000. So please, if we are going to talk about wanting a more civil discourse in elections, and if we are going to point fingers, let’s point fingers at both parties, because really they are both guilty of the same practices.

I like how Joe the Plumber took Obama’s advice and turned it around- he got in Obama’s face! And look at the lashing he received for it. How dare he? How dare he question Obama? After all, doesn’t he stand to benefit from Obama’s socialist tax policies- haven’t those tax policies worked to buy his vote?? Liberals can’t ever seem to understand…
