Joe the Plumber. Meet the new boss.. same as the old boss...
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 08:10 PM by lib2DaBone
I saw a work trailer behind a truck going down the road today. A sign on the back said.."I'm Joe the Plumber". Next to it was a McCain sticker.

I flashed back to 2004, this is the same 'ol crap that that George Bush did. (Going to NASCAR Races and convincing the NASCAR Dads that he is just a good old boy.. someone you "want to have a beer with.") Hell, it worked before... it's working again today.

Most of those NASCAR dads were in construction trades. Today, they are ALL out of work. (Do you think they have linked it up yet?)

We have McCain convincing the workers that it is "patriotic" to accept less wages and less benefits, just like "Joe The Plumber". McCain has convinced them that they do not need health insurance or retirement... as long as they wave the flag. A living wage would be "Socialistic."

John McCain and the Republicans are ready to privatize every job and ship them to China as fast as they can.

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed... but I don't get it? Why do American workers vote against their own best interest?

1. because it is manly to reject all things progressive....
macho bullshit makes them fell tough, they don't really think ahead to what all this macho crap means for their lives, their families, their country....they can't see past their egos to give a shit about anything except being on the team...especially the "winning" team, even if that means stealing two elections, trashing the environment, trashing the constitution, trashing another country and most of all worshiping DEATH. Ultimately that is what it's all about, Killing and Death, and my Team Wins.


KILL HIM!

STOMP HIM!

KILL THEM!

NIGGER!

SAND NIGGER!

TOWEL HEAD!

KILL THEM...KILL THEM ALL!!!

are conditioned to do so by turds like Hannity and Rush and the idiots on FAUX news - rich con artists who've made their fortunes selling snake oil to the ignorant masses.
