Joe The Plumber -- Quitting The GOP?

TalkingPointsMemo
By Eric Kleefeld - May 7, 2009, 11:13AM



Is Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher really quitting the Republican Party? That's what a new Time article on the current sad state of the GOP says.

"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," the article says.

Mr. The Plumber has been a figurehead among Republican activists since last October, when a chance encounter with Barack Obama and the active promotion by McCain campaign turned him into the face of blue-collar conservatism. If he's not willing to call himself a Republican, they're really in trouble.

But even here on spending, there's a catch when it comes to the ideological purity: "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."

Huh???

- So he IS still a Repuke, right? I mean he says he still wants his S.S. check, and he wants his free medical services.

He just doesn't want to pay for them.....

1. Bwaaaa I want 15 min more..... I'll do an Arlen..... yeah that will work

3. I'm sure....

...he'll setup a 900 number where people can call and he'll explain why he's leaving.

2. He flails like a fish out of water. Is it a sign of lack of character?

First he's a big GOPer now he's not? Maybe he's too busy protecting his kids from gays. Meanwhile the Baptists are planning on kidnapping them (if they exist) so that they can be baptized. Ah! What has't though wrought, Ronald Reagan?

If I were in the GOP, frankly I'd kill myself because after 30 years of trying to fix things, making them the way they 'ought to be,' things are much worse.

4. I never knew....

...watching "death throes" could be so entertaining!!!

5. "If I were in the GOP, frankly I'd kill myself"

I like that thought...

The Mormons would have a few thousand more people to baptize.

Everybody happy.

6. He'll start calling himself an "Independent"

any minute now. Just watch.
