Tito came onto the national stage last week when he showed up at a Virginia rally for McCain and started launching on the news media, demanding to know if he was going to be investigated too and that he had brought his papers.

Yesterday he made it official:

From townhall:

"Everything we stand for is in danger by higher taxes and less freedom," Munoz told an enthusiastic crowd, which frequently chanted his name. "Everything we stand for is made stronger by people like you, like John McCain and Sarah Palin." For her part, Palin noted the name Tito has not been mentioned this often since the heyday of the Jackson Five. And she said the Colombian immigrant was unhappy with the way Joe Wurzelbacher had been treated after he questioned Obama at a Toledo, OH rally earlier this month. "Tito wants to know, and I quote, he asked, he says, 'Why the heck are you going after Joe The Plumber,'" Palin said. "'Joe The Plumber has an idea. He has a future. He wants to be something else. Why is that so wrong?"

84% of all Americans agree with both Joe and Tito, which might be a reason that McCain is using the issue and Obama, hilariously, is saying that talking about the premier philosophical difference between Republicans and Democrats on the role of the government in the economy, is "just a distraction".

Perhaps Obama would rather we talk about Ayers, Wright, Rezko, and ACORN.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
