Joe the Plumber advises GOP-ers
By ALEX ISENSTADT | 2/2/09 7:26 PM EST
Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent, Joe the Plumber will talk strategy with Hill Republicans.
Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.
When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.
Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.
If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.
“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.
Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

I thought he'd volunteered to be shipped off to Israel to play GI-Joe. Must have found out politics is less dangerous. I predict an end to the Republican Party as it is now.

It has to end. I'm all for classical conservatism but the Republicans are insane.

Yep, it's a far cry from it's roots. Now it's more of a social conservative based policy.

I think the Dems have some kind of mass-PTSD the way they let the Repugs intimidate them. Tom Daschle backing off today is a perfect example. If the tables were turned, the GOP would be saying tough sh*t.
On the other hand, let's not forget about Gingrich and Livingston.
I'm just sick of these guys taking the GOP seriously when the GOP acts seriously crazy.
