Wow...how asinine is this?

Joe the Plumber (not named Joe and not a plumber) is advising the party?

Yeah yeah...tell me...they want to hear the voice of the common man...nice spin but bull$hit. More stunts for the ignorant masses. And you thought democrats were bad? Well they are too but come on???

Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.

“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

The GOP never ceases to amaze me.

Coulda had Ron Paul.

Why is it that when someone brings something to the forefront about a candidate as 'Joe' did, he's immediately attacked by partisans from the other side. State resources were used to inquire into this private citizens affairs, including background checks and inquiries into his tax history... State resources... taxpayer money...

Meanwhile, the issue that he raised seemsto have been completely dismissed out of hand by those that wish to ignore the fact that Obama's intent is to "bring about economic justice"..
