Joe the Plumber asked a Presidential candidate about his economic policies. This is the most fundamental form of political speech that our democracy is founded on. He is an average guys asking an honest question, and he got an honest answer.
Soon after, he also got his private records illegally accessed by no less than 4 governmental agencies.
The use of a state computer system to search for information on Wurzelbacher is the fourth uncovered by The Dispatch.
Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland is satisfied that there are no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher, a spokesman said.
"Based on what we know to this point, we don't have any reason to believe the information was improperly accessed or disclosed by a state employee," said Keith Dailey, Strickland's press secretary.
Joe the plumber is a hero. Not only did he get Obama to reveal his desire to spread the wealth, his actions also reveal that Obama is no different than any other ruthless, win at all costs, say anything, political hack. There is no hope of change offered here. There is only partisan politics.
