Where is the lefts "Joe the Plumber"??
I'm not talking about some asshole "wannabee" Plumber without a liscence who beats his wife, doesn't pay his court fines and thinks that if he just works hard at his $15 an hour job, he will eventually join the ranks of the top 1% and get his taxes cut....NO!

I'm talking about where is the real life Plumber?

Where is the real life Coal Miner?

Where is the real life Fireman?

Where is the real life Grocery Manager?

Where is the real life School Teacher?

Where is the real life Sub-contractor?

and why can't the media find them?

We can "dis" ole' Joe the non-Plumber all we want. We can point out what an idiot he is. We can demean the guys backward beliefs, his education, his economic ideas, and his idiotic "When I'm in the top 1% I want a tax-cut too" bullshit, BUT...

and it's a very important BUT IMHO....

We run the risk of again being defined as the "Party of elitist, who don't give a damn about the common 'Joe'".

You know that's bullshit. I know that's bullshit. The media probably also knows that's bullshit. But where is the common man that steps up to the plate and defends progressive ideas? It's great to have economist and folks with more degrees than you can shake a stick at, but our party is made up of more than that.

Democrats give less than half as much to charity but make more.

They ain't charitable.

The "left's Joe the Plumber" is an oxymoron, a fable, a fairy tale, a myth....
IOW, there exists no such person....

Now "Joe the sitonmyassalldaysmokingdopeanddoingnothingwhilegripingaboutnotenoughgovernmenthandouts DUmmie" exists in every nook and cranny in DUmmieland....

The problem with assuning the existence of a leftist Joe the Plumber is that it's a real trade.  If you screw up building a bridge, installing a electrical system, or installing plumbing people can get hurt and killed.  That alone tends to make those types think at least more conservatively.

Further to that it's a trade that one has to work pretty hard to obtain, and work fairly hard to remain in business (Union shops aside).

They're in a place you DUmbasses know nothing about. It's called work. They're busy trying to figure out how they will make ends meet now that The Anointed One has burdened them with a faultering ecconomy with his excessive spending plan for idiots like you.

The real reasons why there's no "Joe the Plumbers" on the Left.

That's true, just look at AngryCarpenter who is perennially out of work and the only downside he sees to that is a perennial shortage of cash. 

They could certainly find a moonbat schoolteacher.  Everybody else, probably not.   Requires too much personal responsibility.  Fireman?  Requires selfless courage.  Coalminer?  Requires very hard work.  Grocery Manager?  Requires getting up too early in the morning.

It's also a trade that requires on occasion that the tradesman stick his hand into a pipe filled with someone else's excrement. That's "shit work" to a DUmmy, and beneath them.

LMAO! I helped out one of my Buds once when he broke his wrist doing just that! Lord what a disgusting job that was!

Plumbers deserve everything thing they can get money wise, and a healthy butt crack too!
