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.
"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.

Sarah Palin / Tito:
1. How many American Citizens are employed by Tito's "construction company"?
2. Can Tito prove that all of his employees are US Citizens or legally authorized to be in the US?
3. How many employees of Tito's "construction company" report annual "personal income" to the IRS in excess of $250,000?

Maybe Obama would like to talk about...Khalidi
Confirmed: MSM Holds Video Of Barack Obama Attending Jew-Bash & Toasting a Former PLO Operative... Refuse to Release the Video!
Introduction: The LA Times is holding a video that shows Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians who are openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama even gives a toast to a former PLO operative at this celebration. If the American public saw this side of Barack Obama he would never be elected president. But, the media refuses to release this video.
LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama's close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April. Wallsten discussed a dinner held back in 2003 in honor of Khalidi, a critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights. Barack Obama has denied his close association with Khalidi, too.
According to Wallsten the evening not surprisingly turned into a classic Jew-bash:
Who confirmed it, Charlie? Peter himself? What a fucking joke.

Well, if the republicans Don't like a redistribution of tax money, then they say they want to end all VA benefits ofr disabled veterans, they want to end all government programs for the elderly, they want to end all programs for the blind, they want to end all programs all handicapped, or disabled......... they even want to end all programs for womens equality....................................... if 84% of the american people agree, well those are most likely the people who recieve these programs in some way.......... it's the top 10% of taxpayers who generally pay for these programs, at the corporate level....... just a wee misunderstanding.................Ask that same 84% if they want to end all the programs mentioned above, just ask em if they think disabled vets need gov. help, or catholic charities, or faith based charites (gov funded programs), and they probably all say well, yeah.................. just misinformed.......

OMG...who was the fool that is talking about morales, John McCain has "zero". Why have his first wife and the children he left behind hidden from his tale of morales? He left his handicapped wife who waited for him to come back from war to go running after Cindy McCain. A womanizer not a man with morales. John McCain will say anything to get your vote, no one is crying socialism while they are on medicaid, unemployment or social security benefits. John McCain is hoping people are fearful enough and or stupid enough to by into his fear mongering. Bush/McCain no more, our country, our people deserve better OBAMA/BIDEN '08. We can make that change!Our country has been devastated under the current administration. They would love for us to believe the short time Democrats have been in Congress that created this economic turmoil, quite the opposite...Bush has been more than willing, threatening at times to "veto" most of the agenda presented if it did not suit his agenda, in other words his way or no way at all.

Virtually every poll, every news station, newspapers, and internet indicates Obama winning, but not taking the lead as a sure thing, he keeps going. He tells us his plans with details. McCain give us Joe the plumber, Tito the builder, and attacks Mr. Obama, but he does not tell us what he is going to do with makes people with common sense that it will be another 4 years of the same. With only seven days left, I want to hear his plans, about the economy, the war, and education. I want the attacks to stop, the negativity go away, the anger brought down. I want to hear a speech that does not have Mr. Obama or Mr. Biden in the speech. McCain and Palin are costing many good people in the House and the Senate lose because of their actions. I have one question and would really like to know the answer, please blog the answer so I can see it. McCain says he is not going to raise taxes, which is a nice idea, but with the deficit we have right now, how does he intend on lowering the deficit or are we just going to leave it for our children and their children?

Why are people at the McCain/Palin rallies always so angry????All I hear from them is smears and negativity. It's a damn shame! Go to an Obama/Biden rally and it is so wonderful to see people from all races, ethnic backgrounds and classes. One goes away from his rallies with hope and inspiration that this country can once again be the country that we were once known for. I feel pity for the angry, racist McCain supporerts. Tisk, tisk.

MAYBE MCCAIN WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS TOO!
Like the RECORD budget deficit he helped Bush create.
Like the 2 un-won wars we have.
Like the fact that he and Bush pushed for the bailout of wall street and the banks - and now we're learning that the money is being MIS-SPENT by allowing AIG to have extravagant parties and allowing the big banks to buy smaller banks.
McCain also might like to talk about record-high gas prices, rising inflation and un-employment.
McCain might also like to talk about: Stevens, Libby, Delay, Safavian, Ney, Cunningham, Foley, Renzi, Vitter, Craig, Curtis, Sixto, Fosella, Dan, Spitzer, and Palin to name a few. WHAT DO THESE FOLKS HAVE IN COMMON??? THEY'RE ALL REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS WHO HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH AND/OR CONVICTED OF A WIDE RANGE OF CRIMES.
Then too, McCain might like to talk about why the government of communist North Viet Nam has endorsed him for president?

I think Tito just realized that, because of his sudden fame, Joe The Plumber will soon have a nationwide fleet of trucks (probably underwritten by The Donald) plastered with fancy "Joe The Plumber" silk-screening and his unforgettable mug and will be making WAY MORE than $250K - All because The Big O happened down his street.
Bigger taxes or no, Tito wants a piece o' dat! What Joe The Plumber fell into by accident Tito is making an attempt at forcing for himself.
Think about it. Joe The Plumber is getting a HUGE grand opening campaign on every major network, remote broadcasts before thousands of would be customers with major political personalities appearing on his behalf and recognition that is priceless in the marketing world.
Tito is jealous. He may be asking, "Are you going to investigate me?", but what he is really screaming is, "PLEASE! Investigate ME!!!!"

Those who are receiving medicare benefits better investigate Obama's comment in the last debate on where he would make cuts in the budget. Obama said he would cut medicare subsidies to the insurance companies. I checked to find out what that would affect. All supplemental plans (Humana, Secure Horizons,AARP etc.)premiums would increase,medical costs, so would drugs and co-pays for seniors.

This race has really brought out the true colors, as it were, in people, and those colors are disgustingly dark. McCain has lived long enough to bear witness to and be the victim of fallacies by opponents in an election. Clearly he has taken a "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" stance. When you hear people utter things like, "This is not the McCain I knew," it's because prior to the race, McCain would have been opposed of the very things his handlers have had him engage in. Once you unleash the demon from it's cage, it's hard, almost impossible to get him back in. While I'm an Obama supporter, I do think McCain will win. McCain is confident, IMO, because he knows that he's already assisted in adding enough reasonable doubt for those "Real American's" to fear an Obama presidency. IMO, it's probably better that McCain win because judging from the rabid, massive number of hate-filled anti-Obama sites, an Obama win could set off all kinds of problems. Let all the Joe the Plumbers and Titos see how little McCain thinks of them. To all the people who fear a Black man who may secretly be Muslim dirtying up the White House, not to worry. The White House will remain White and America will continue to wage wars in which no one will win.
