Faux Joe

So the GOP organizes an "I Am Joe" rally to show how they are in solidarity with  blue collar America. They dress up in overalls and everything. But it turns out that the leaders of the rally are...the head of the College Republicans, and some guy from Australia. FireDogLake, on the other hand, actually has some real "Joes the plumber."

And don't forget the most important point: under Barack Obama the actual Plumber Joe would get a tax cut. Under John McCain, he wouldn't. There's no question about it: even Joe admits Obama would cut his taxes.
