Joe the Plumber was at the Atlanta Tea Party and I Cannot Believe I Missed His Appearance

Joe the Plumber attended the Atlanta Tea Party on April 15. If I'd have known he was going to be there, I would have put on my best Larry the Cable Guy duds and ran on down into Atlanta and poured out some perfectly good tea. Probably some of that liberal new age crap -- like starburst raspberry jasmine or maybe a cherry mango enlightenment pekoe or something -- so it wouldn't feel wasteful. Heck, if I'd have known Joe the Plumber was going to be there, I would've got me some markers and made a homemade sign that read, "Sarah Palin Let You Down, Joe."

The reason I didn't know Joe the Plumber was in Atlanta is because, well, I lost my program guide to the Second Coming of the Resurgent Right. Sean "I can say 'I love my country' sixty times on my show because my journalistic integrity says I can" Hannity interviewed him. They spoke about Obama and teleprompters, Obama and raised taxes, Obama and bigger government, Obama and socialism, and what a great American Joe the Plumber was. Sean Hannity even thanked Joe the Plumber for saving the country ("..you're going to save our country and I thank you for that") and sending out the wake-up call.

Joe Wurzelbacher was a plumber who had not paid his taxes, nor did he have a license to practice his trade, that became a symbol of the flailing Republican Party during its unsuccessful campaign against Senator Barack Obama. Of all the millions of people the GOP could have chosen to rally behind or use as a symbol of the average American, they could not have chosen a better person than a political fringe tax dodger who misrepresented himself as a business owner.

I know I speak for at least a couple hundred million real Americans (and a couple illegal aliens) when I say that I totally identify with Joe the Plumber and look to him as a hero of our times.

But it was what Senator Obama said that really made Joe the Plumber famous. In his answer regarding taxes, Obama mentioned "spreading the wealth" and a common phrase became evidence Exhibit A that Obama was a socialist hellbent on controlling everything, taxing everything, and redistributing every hard-earned dollar to those less deserving and welfare addicted.

Joe the Plumber's brilliant questioning clearly showed the world what a pinko commie Barack Obama truly was -- and is. Sarah Palin (and others), then running as vice presidential candidate in Senator John McCain's presidential campaign, took it a step further and associated Obama with socialists. Then it was terrorists. Like that other great American named Joe, Senator Joe McCarthy, Joe Wurzelbacher opened our eyes to the ulterior and diabolic conspiracy afoot within the Democratic Party and embodied in the foreign-born, secret Muslim senator from Illinois -- he was intent on turning the United States into a socialist fascist state. He would start by raising everybody's taxes.

I am really ticked off that I missed that great American, Joe the Plumber, at the Atlanta Tea Party, where the "TEA" stands for "Taxed Enough Already?" I already know he's been taxed enough already, but I'd like to know if he finally got his plumber's license, paid his taxes, and is making more than $250,000. (Just curious.)

As much as I respect the man who opened my eyes (and the rest of the country as well) to Obama's nefariousness and is the savior of our nation, I'd still like to know that he's still a human being.
