From Time Magazine:

Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, tells TIME
he’s so outraged by GOP overspending, he’s quitting the party — and he’s
the bull’s-eye of its target audience. But he also said he wouldn’t
support any cuts in defense, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid —
which, along with debt payments, would put more than two-thirds of the
budget off limits.

“Joe” is no stranger to odd proclamations.

In April, he told a Lansing tea party protest crowd that saying “In God
We Trust” could “get you shot” in some parts of the country. And just
this week, he told Christianity Today he would not let gay people
“anywhere near” his children.
