Joe the Plumber admits he doesn’t have time to lay pipe any more because he’s busy attending tea parties. And he urges fellow Americans to take charge of the political process:

Our ancestors picked up guns and knives for their freedom. All I’m asking people to do is pick up a book, get involved or start asking questions.

And here’s a question he’s asked himself:

Does the Republican Party represent anything I stand for right now? Absolutely not. Right now the Republican Party doesn’t even know what it stands for.

Is Joe pushing for a third party? And how is supporting himself if he’s not working? Something stinks. And it’ll take more than Aspray to make it go away. Gosh,  if Joe had become a spokesperson for Dr Bottoms, I’d respect him a lot more.
