Joe - your talking points were verbatim from other internet sites. A Google of "Joe the Plumber" will make this obvious to anyone. One thing's for sure - the press has given us more private information on this working-class dude (the kind Democrats are supposed to protect) in two weeks than we have learned about B. Hussein Obama in two years.

Cass- you betcha I'm for real. Not just me, but millions of others. Those who think confiscating 50% of a person's income is a bad idea. Those who believe a baby has a right to live. Those who see blatant hypocrisy and class envy in posts like yours. When John Kerry (who divorced his first millionaire wife, only to marry a billionaire widow a few years later) was running for president, did you decry his wealth? I doubt it. The Kerrys could buy 70 homes if they wanted to. But they are democrats, to that's OK. I'm through debating. Vote for who you want and may God have mercy on us.
