I Am Joe

I have to agree with Iowahawk on this (caution: profanity). What the media has done to Joe the Plumber is reprehensible. Joe merely had the guts to ask Obama a question, and now the media has done more investigating into a guy who isn’t even a candidate than they have into an actual candidate.

I am Joe. I prefer Wal-Mart to Target. I grew up on a farm in small town Kansas. My dad had more cattle in the pasture across the road from our house than I had kids in my school. I work on my own car, browse the aisles at Home Depot, and am the father to my children. I cling to my religion (yes, it’s religion, not a relationship). Nearly my entire family is made of the same kind of people. I’m not perfect, but then I’ve never pretended to be. I’m sure if the media wanted to dig up dirt on me, they could.
