It's been on HBO lately and I keep catching bits. Pretty good movie. While I'm watching I can't help but think - maybe we backed the wrong side. In any case, in terms of getting in bed with the wrong people, Joe the Plumber talks shit about McCain.
Recalling a conversation he had with McCain about the $700 billion financial industry bailout in September, Wurzelbacher said: “When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen.”
“I asked him some pretty direct questions,” he continued. “Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”
Asked why he didn’t leave McCain’s campaign if he was “appalled” by the candidate, Wurzelbacher said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.”
While Wurzelbacher was critical of McCain during the interview, he had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.
Republicans are in bed with the wrong people. Let me be clear: Joe the Plumber is a mental midget. Why should I care who he votes for? If I had a broken toilet, I'd call Joe. If I want political insight, I'll read blogs. Heh.
