Joe The Plumber: 'Wanting A White Republican President Doesn't Make You Racist'

I think Joe is one of the cracks in GOP unity. Pull up your pants Joe.

Joe Wurzelbacher, more commonly known as Joe the Plumber, wants Americans to "admit" they "want a white Republican president again."

"Wanting a white Republican president doesn’t make you racist, it just makes you American," Wurzelbacher wrote on his website Oct. 10.

Wurzelbacher referred to the time before President Barack Obama was elected president as the "pre-black president era," saying at that time, criticizing the president "meant that you didn't like his policies."

"The election of a recognized black president was not supposed to change anything. In fact, it was supposed to (1) ease any perceived racial tensions, and (2) allow the government to focus on legislating without race. So America would be more free than ever to discuss the issues," Wurzelbacher wrote. "Not the case. And that is why having a white Republican president is best for the country."

So......just WHO IS IT that has a problem with race that is limiting our freedom to discuss the issues.

President. Something like 52% and 332 electorates if I remember correctly.

In other words, it was a blowout as far as elections go.

What the hell dude. Where's the brain? I mean. Quite literally it does. And I'm using "literally" literally here. Dude is either a moron or just trying to be relevant by saying something incredible stupid.
