It has nothing to do with anything. It's an excuse to dismiss what is an embarrassing insight into Romney's thinking and his worldview.
Joe the plumber engaged the Obama. Obama said he is into wealth redistribution. Obama was judged for that by those who wanted to judge him for that. The incidentals about Joe the plumber didn't detract from the comments Obama made. After it was revealed the Joe the plumber wasn't shooting as straight as he claimed (i.e. he wasn't buying a business, or in the position to buy a business or whatever the hell it was) people jumped on Joe. That doesn't diminish the number of votes lost by Obama from his initial statement, despite how someone wants to spin it now.
There's something really sad going on with the righties in this forum lately. I'm not criticizing or name calling, just observing the sadness in their posts - a desparation to find a conspiracy to ruin a good man rather than an admission that Romney is a shitty candidate.
Romney's a shitty candidate. Kerry was a shitty candidate. McCain was a shitty candidate. Dole was a shitty candidate. Dukakis and Mondale were shitty candidates. Often a shitty candidate is the nominee. It's okay to admit it. It makes the loss easier to understand and leaves you with less rage.
Obama's not a great President. I'll admit it. There's no conspiracy to make it seem he's not a great President. He just isn't. There's crazy people who say crazy shit about him, but that doesn't make him a bad leader.
He owns that.
