Paid part time actor Joe the Plumber (name isn't joe and he really isn't a plumber)... the bus came with faux working man. speaks to the small crowd.
GOP State Senator Sheila Harsdorf stands with Walker. From what I could see it looked like only about 50-60 people inside and Sheila was probably the best dressed. These supporters look like they could use a little unionizing help. Instead they choose to support Corporations taking their money, jobs, and state resources.

1. Stand with Walker. Just don't stand "together" or "united". And don't speak, either.

2. No Joe, the protesters aren't being led around by union bosses.

That's just a talking point you adopted. The people protesting in Wisconsin are there on their own, braving the cold and fighting for their rights. This is truly a grassroots protest, not the tea party astro turffers you were hired to entertain. What a moron!

3. He hates the word "deserve"

... and believes that most of us feel we deserve what's in his pocket...

But that presupposes that his moronic gathering of sycophants believes they deserve what's in their own pockets... even if they don't.

His kind of Ayn Rand logic is the Grade A idiocy that we're fighting for when we want our public education back. I want less uneducated a$$holes like Joe the Plummer and I think Teachers "DESERVE" higher pay, and bargaining rights.

6. Deserve?

The beginning of Joe's speech could have been said verbatim by Michael Moore. But it would have made more sense if the people who didn't deserve their gains were the uber-wealthy. How this get twisted to the middle and lower-middle class is beyond comprehension.

7. FAKE FAKE FAKE

Fake Joe the plumber in a fake worker's rally financed by a fake grassroots movement. The only thing real is their lips planted firmly on the ass of Koch.

9. WHO?????

For the life of me....

The media interviews Newt Gingrich, Rummy, McCain....

Palin, Joe the M-F plumber, DUBYA! give speeches....

What do all these names have in common?

They all failed. Every one either was kicked out long ago, disgraced long ago, or lost long ago.

Who cares what they think or have to say? I just don't know why anyone wants to listen to them.
