Joe The Plumber Is A Sham! He's A Republican With Ties To Charles Keating!!!

This picture might as well be the real "Joe The Plumber"! The one that was referenced in the debate may very well be a fraud. I told you in my last posting that this guy was suspicious. It has been confirmed that he is a registered Republican. His real name is Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher & there is no evidence that he really is a plumber. He owes back taxes & has a tax lien against him. This is someone who could definitely be persuaded by money & his own political leanings to do the Republican's bidding. I think it is quite obvious that he is a Republican plant. Here is a link to an article that has more information about him.(http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081016/NEWS09/810160418/-1/NEWS) As for the Charles Keating connection, Daily Kos has the whole backstory on "Joe The Plumber". Go here(http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/16/02217/845)

I'll post a tidbit from the article:

"Joe the Plumber, the star of tonight's debate, may have a very interesting connection to John McCain. In fact, Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) of Cincinnati, Ohio may be related to one Robert Wurzelbacher of Cincinnati, Ohio, who happens to be Charles Keating's son-in-law." (end of excerpt)

The Consumate Politician Is John Mccain! Now He Cares About the Economy!

John McCain is significantly down in the national polls. Suddenly, the economy is a huge issue to him. Although he has maintained that the economy is not his forte, we are now supposed to believe he can rectify the situation. Congress cannot do it without the "maverick" & his opponent, Barack Obama , being present. Huh?!! I do not believe that John McCain is sincere about anything. I am a newly minted political junkie but even I can see that. This is a crafty move on his part which just proves how much of a reformer he is not!

Barack Obama is not trying to take the bait though. He is able to multi-task which is an important part of any job description. This debate is important to the American people because we have not heard enough from either one of them. The University Of Mississippi debates must proceed so that voters can deliberate. Voters are the ultimate jurors. We need as much evidence as possible to help us decide. The discussion the American people have had about Sarah Palin must cease. She is a huge factor but not the most important one. The differing resolutions to today's major issues need to be disputed by the candidates. Like most folks out here, I believe he is pulling a stunt. John McCain is an issue himself. He is an "elitist" because he thinks the Americans are stupid. If he wins the presidencey, he will be proven right.

Republican Affiliates Peddle This!

News - Slideshow - Forum sells 'Obama Waffles' with racial stereotype I saw this over at Comcast news & just had to post it here. Racism is a huge issue for me as an african american. I am using my voice on this blog to speak out against all offences to humanity. Is this the reason why the republican convention was sparse in the amount of blacks that attended? In a party that totes the message of change now, how does this represent that? These are the kinds of people that support John Mccain. People who want to change from having a view of a unified & equal country be shared by all Americans. This type of stereotyping only hearkens back to the antebellum past of America. We want a party with a vision that holds a better future. Not one that is seeking to hold on to the distant past. My voice will be heard much louder than this. At this point, I have no readers. This blog is just my way of venting my frustrations as a black person in America. These are my opinions & views. If anyone is reading this, leave me a comment & let me know!Share the issues that affect you with me.

Isn't it sad though that racism is still an issue? All over the world, not just here in America? Those with darker skin suffer with this problem within their own race sometimes. There is inter-racial discrimination & exclusion in the black community. If you have light skin, it can make the difference in how you are treated. The same applies if you have dark skin. That is a fact of life that I have know since childhood. Within my own family, I have been told that at least my hair was wavy. As if to say that my hair was my saving grace. My skin is dark but the texture of my hair makes me attractive. Why do so many blacks feel this way? My theory & strong belief is that it comes from the days of slavery. A time that most blacks have tried to forget by disassociating themselves from Africa. By rejecting the culture & country, they are rejecting the pain of the past. Those horrific times are imprinted in our genetic memory. The atrocities of that time has lingered from generation to generation.

These types of images evoke Jim Crow & segregation. That was in the not so distant past. Apparently, it is still the desire of some in the white community for that still to be the case. Even if John Mccain does not have a racist bone in his body, how will he be able to reform that aspect of his party? He tried to speak out against the Confederate flag & was forced to reverse his stance on that. Yes, that flag is the symbol of slavery. The Black Holocaust. His party is made up of many Daughters & Sons of the Confederation. Hence, we have these racial stereotypes persistently coming from some republicans. I have not heard John Mccain denounce the organizations that perpetuate racism. He should but he is a republican after all. No matter how much he trys to distance himself.
