AUSTIN — Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, a conservative activist who became a symbol of the working class in the 2008 election, has endorsed Sid Miller for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, the campaign announced Tuesday.

Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," called Miller's Republican primary opponent Trey Blocker a "fake Republican" and said Miller is "a true patriot that says what he thinks, does what he says, and fights for what we believe."

Substitute ‘conservative activist’ with ‘everyday working American’ and this news won’t be so fake.

The media found out more about Joe in 15 minutes than we can ever know about Obama.

Yep, I remember that too. As I recall, after he confronted Obama, even the next day, the media were full of stories of problems with his contractor’s license, told us he wasn’t really a licensed plumber, I think there were some tax issues he had as well????

Amazing what the media will come up with, when they target someone.

Of course, if the media choose not to do investigative reporting on people in the public eye, there too, that is a form of bias. The media did not want to know certain things about Obama, so they chose not to look.

On the other hand, in that 2008 campaign, swarms of reporters descended on tiny Wasilla, Alaska, to learn all they could about Sarah Palin.

The important race is Land Commissioner in TX.
George P. Bush must be replaced.
The Bush League has done enough damage to this country.

after he confronted Obama

From what I remember, he really didn't confront Obama. It was Obama who, without any real prompting from Joe, mentioned "spreading the wealth", thus revealing his true socialist agenda.
