Is the right wing for real?

Guest posted by Wes Shirley:

There is lots of discussion in the lefty news sites about the demise of the Republican Party, and therefore the right wing in general. I tend to dismiss such prognostications. Leftists love their pipe dreams. But I see Joe the Plumber keeps popping up. First he was challenging Obama on being taxed because sharing the wealth is communism (only to find out he and his family spent some time on welfare when he was young and he credits this with giving him a chance in life), he then gets asked to go to Israel and cover the bombing of Gaza and comes back with gems like "I don't think reporters should cover the war." Now he's being invited to a GOP congressional staffers planning meeting (The Conservative Working Group) and being advertised as an expert on the stimulus package. I'm starting to think the Republican Party might really be done.

Hey all,

My good friend Wes will be guest posting every now and again when he feels like he's got something to say.

Maybe we'll get married one day.

Maybe the OG will steal him.

Down with the OG and their criminal enterprises. We, as in me, need Wes here, the OG already has enough hipsters for the readers to handle.

But then again when was the last time Dave didn't have something to say.

The GOP is not dead, they are now the JTPP and to the average Joe this just might be enough for them to buy high and sell low.

As long as he keeps it to the political and not Parkinson's.

Ha.
