As some sides vilify and others canonize him, America's Plumber is way off about Iraq.
At his news conference after the Barack confrontation, the media asks Joe about what he wants for his son (almost three minutes into linked video) and he starts off right about the debt and whatnot, but then trails into a Patriotic rant about the country and the liberation of Iraq. We'll just ignore the xenophobic spout sandwiched in between.
Joe's paradoxical views of government reflect the entire gestalt of the Republican Party's internal angst the closer the election looms. More war means more government. Making your point with Christian zealotry doesn't help either.
