CAT Tracks for October 21, 2008 SARAH THE ...

Let me get this straight...

Sarah the airhead is putting down the accomplishments of Barack Obama to champion "Joe the plumber" and "Tito the builder" and "Phil the bricklayer" and "Rose the teacher"...whose dreams will be "dashed by the Obama tax increase."

Well, "Ron the retiree" has a question...where does Rose teach?

Since independent observers have confirmed the claim by "Barack the wealth spender" that he will NOT tax anyone making less that $250,000...I want a copy of the salary schedule for the school where Rose pursues her educational endeavors.

I might just come out of retirement...if the price is right!

Well, at least "Barack the Wealth Spender" is a better nickname than the direction Sarah and "John the maverick" were headed last week...an all-to-familiar nickname that started with the 14th letter of the alphabet!

But, have no fear...local boy made good "Rush the Big, Fat Idiot" (as ultra-liberal Al Franken dubbed him in his book by similar name) will fulfill that destiny by election day at his current rate of disintegration!

If not, there's always Sean Hannity...

Palin dubs Obama: 'Barack the Wealth Spender'

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado (CNN) — Taking “Joe the plumber” wordplay to an unprecedented new level, Sarah Palin on Monday dubbed Barack Obama “Barack the Wealth Spender” for his plan to offer tax credits to lower and middle-income wage earners.

Palin revealed the new moniker at an outdoor rally in Grand Junction, Colorado, where she also introduced a new working-class hero into the ever-expanding pantheon of “Joe the plumber”-types who oppose to Obama’s tax plan.

His name? Tito Munoz, christened by Palin as “Tito the builder.”

The McCain campaign discovered Munoz on Saturday at a rally in Woodbridge, Virginia, where the Colombian-born construction worker took on a group of reporters for digging into Joe Wurzelbacher’s background after the Toledo-based plumber questioned Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on workers making over $250,000 a year.

Munoz’s stand against the media was detailed by Byron York on the web site of the National Review magazine, and Palin was eager to thrust the tale into the political spotlight.

“Tito is not pleased with how the Barack Obama campaign and some of the media friends there have been roughing up Joe the Plumber,” Palin said, after accusing the Obama campaign of “investigating” Wurzelbacher’s background.

“He has a question of his own, and Barack Obama is not going to like this one either. Tito wants to know, and I quote, he asked, ‘Why the heck are you going after Joe the Plumber? Joe the Plumber has an idea. He has a future. He wants to be something greater. He wants to be something else. Why is that so wrong?’”

“Tito explained that he’s an immigrant from Colombia and he also had this reminder for us,” Palin continued. “He says, quote, ‘Everything is possible in America. I made it.’”

Palin said Munoz isn’t the only worker standing up against Obama — other taxpayers like “Phil the bricklayer” and “Rose the teacher” can expect to have their “dreams dashed by the Obama tax increase.”

“So tell me,” Palin asked. “Do we have any Joe the Plumbers in the house? So all these Joe the plumbers in the house, it doesn’t sound like you are supporting Barack the Wealth Spender in this elections.”

After a subsequent chorus of boos died down, Palin transitioned back into her normal stump speech, touting her record of reform as a tax-cutter in Alaska.
