What are they thinking?
Call it a pipe dream come true: When members of the Conservative Working Group held their weekly strategy meeting on the Hill on Tuesday morning, they were joined by none other than Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, who had come to offer his thoughts on the economic recovery bill.
The Senate staffers who showed up at 9 a.m. for the closed-door meeting refused to leak the contents of their discussion with the tradesman-cum-strategist, but Wurzelbacher himself revealed that the advice they soaked up was just good, old-fashioned “common sense.”
Folks, you want elite and brilliant people solving your problems, not the football fan you like having a beer with. When we have those half-drunk conversations with people where we "solve all the world's problems" there is a reason why we are the ones just having the beer and having the discussion: we have neither the skills, nor the influence nor the actual will to get that stuff done.
Anti-intellectualism is alive and well in the US and the GOP sadly continues to feed at that trough of piggish sentimentality expecting God to come down and solve the crap we have gotten ourselves into. We could not even sell brains to the people in this room.

the reason the republicans are failing to connect to real people is because the two dimwits that represent them in the public eye- limbaugh and the idiot plumber- are what people think of when they hear the word 'republican'
As I recall from when I was a little tot, the Republicans are the stupid party and the Democrats are the evil party. Nothing has changed in at least 40 years. Or as the Bible says, "There is nothing new under the sun".
