State employee says she was ordered to check out Joe the Plumber

Please, the Republicans aren't innocent in using the government to check up on political dissenters. Valerie Plame ring a bell????? Not only did top administration officials leak an undercover agents name. They did it because her husband dared to question the validity of some of their reasoning for going into Iraq(Yellow cake Uranium).

It's a dog and pony show designed to detract from John McCain's poor campaign. The only person to blame if he loses is himself. Had he stayed on message he would be doing much better. But he flip-flops more than Kerry did and is losing because of that. This is just another tool being used to paint Obama as a socialist, terrorist, MUSLIM.

I think the McCain tactics are disgusting. I had a lot of Respect for John McCain when the election started. Tactics like this turned me off of him. His party uses these tricks too. It seems like it's alright to do it when it's the Republicans doing it.

This isnt good, dont get me wrong.
But lets not pretend the democrats are the first, or last ones to do this.

This has been done by both sides, for a long time, for many a reasons!

so for anyone to be taking the highroad because this article 'isnt' about there party, is really just being niave.
