So, when we find out that just about everything about Joe the Plumber wasn’t true, including that he’d have to make $250,000+ in order for his taxes to go up, that mean the Dems should be ashamed? And the old saw about people on the bottom being there due to their bad choices…please!

What’s condescending is to write a piece that acts as if there shouldn’t be questions about America’s Joe the Plumbers just like anyone else. If Joe wants to be used as a political pawn, then Joe needs to be able to take the heat.

And Ayers…come on. I just saw a photograph of McCain shaking hands with Nixon. Who did more damage to America, Nixon or Ayers? The point is, I wouldn’t run around saying McCain is a crook because he shook hands with Nixon anymore than I’d say that Obama’s association with Ayers makes him a terrorist sympathizer.
