God Bless Joe the Plumber

I posted a video a few days ago about a plumber in Ohio asking Obama how his tax plan will effect a business he wants to purchase. Obama's response was probably the first straight truth he has told in a long time. He wants to spread the wealth around. He wants to "not punish you for your success" but hey, really, yeah, I'm going to. He wants the successful to be the ones responsible for filling the penny banks of the down trodden, those who can't help themselves. And he wants to be the one controlling the purse strings, he wants to decide when enough is too much and when to spread it around and to whom. Joe the Plumber became the star of the debate last night and he just might become Joe the Champion of conservatives across the country as he helps win this election for the McCain/Palin ticket.

Coming back to Obama's tax plan. How exactly does he propose to reduce taxes to 95% of the citizens when a full 40% of them don't pay taxes in the first place? How does he plan to tax and spend and not send our economy crashing into an abysmal depression that we haven't seen since the early 1900's? There will be no wealth to spread around after he has put the majority of small businesses out of business through his heavy tax policy and his universal mandated health care plan.

I watched the debate on Fox News last night. I kept saying to Wade, "Wow, Obama is not on his game tonight. He looks tired. He almost looks like a deer in headlights, or someone who is waiting for the truths he has been trying to cover up to come and slap him in the face." Then after the debate I heard the analysts on Fox News hand the debate to Obama. He was "cool". He was "collected". He was a "mountain" a steady force that exudes Presidential authority. What the *(#)&&*@(*(!!! Were we even watching the same debate? McCain did what he needed to do. Yes, I would've liked to see him smack Obama in the face with his own lies and words a little bit more, follow through when he had the opportunity to nail him to his Messianic cross, but over all, he did a fine job. He did what he needed to and Joe the Plumber will finish it off nicely for those of us who do have the "audacity to hope". The audacity to hope that America will be for our children and grandchildren, what it was for us. God Bless Joe the Plumber and the heartland of our country who remembers what it means to love God, liberty, and family.
