Joe the Plumber was a Republican plant.

He and his BS story was a sad attempt of the GOP to play to the blue
collar vote.

It failed miserably.

It also is an excellent example of how far out of touch the Republican
Party is.

Note how they tried to use Palin to garnder the feminine vote and now
have decided to have a black leader for the GOP.

What's next...a taco named for George Bush at your local Taco Belle?
