Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher chatted up GOP congressional staffers this week at a breakfast in Washington, telling them: "It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative. They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done."
Joe wants to kill the stimulus package because it's an example of "American government ... kicking our butts left and right."
Does he have political aspirations? "I don't know if the American public deserve me," he said.

He gave "a talk". He didn't simply attend. And yes, he gave them advice. He advised them.

Whatever problems or opinions you have with this story are yours and you're entitled to them. But it is not dishonest. There are many sources that support the facts here.
If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.
“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Exactly, it was a SIMPLE event.
It's not a big deal. It's a light story about people in politics.

I think you're taking it a little too seriously.

Everyone knows the GOP is having some trouble after the recent election, getting their footing. Some strange things are happening in the party and I wouldn't be surprised if it split into two parties, which would be the best thing for this country.
The GOP needs to return to its conservative roots or else fall apart.

"Joe is an idiot. There's no doubt about that."
To kick it off, Joe is in Washington, D.C. this week to help cover the U.S. financial crisis and the proposed stimulus package. Wurzelbacher will also be participating at the inaugural Conservatism 2.0 conference (sponsored by PJTV) and held jointly with CPAC 2009 in Washington at the end of this month. Additionally, Pajamas noted an increased emphasis on its new Internet television venture (www.pjtv.com) for center-right and conservative audiences.
Joe the Plumber has come to represent the voice of the average person. His coverage of the Gaza Conflict for PJTV in January attracted worldwide attention - sometimes by media that both denigrated his lack of experience while at the same time soliciting their own populist voices via twitter, consumer reporting, etc.
Wurzelbacher's own "Just Joe" segment at PJTV will focus on issues of the day as explored and reported by Joe. Wurzelbacher is currently in Washington to understand and report on the U.S. financial crisis and the proposed stimulus plan, bringing with him a common man's perspective. He is meeting with groups such as The Heritage Foundation, The Conservative Working Group, the Club for Growth, Cato Institute, and others.

It's wonderful to see kids getting involved in the political process at such a young age. Good for them. If it's what they and the administration wants, I think it's great that they were able to vote for it and make it happen.

I didn't say that Joe was a leader in the Republican party.

On advice to Republicans: "It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative. "They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done." "I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white...there's right and wrong."

That's a blog. You are always running around complaining when people use blogs as sources. OMG - that you would

Jindal, born in Baton Rouge to Indian immigrants, was a Hindu but converted to Catholicism while in high school. He graduated from Brown University with honors in biology and public policy. Afterwards, he received a master's degree in politics from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. He is the only Indian-American currently serving in Congress, ...
His previous public service includes time as the Louisiana Secretary of Department of Health & Hospitals, Executive Director of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare, and Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He was also the youngest ever president of the University of Louisiana System.
In the Spring of 2004, fellow Louisianan, Christopher Mora, a Navy veteran and graduate student at Harvard University, proposed and coordinated an invitation for Jindal to serve as one of the Visiting Fellows for the Harvard Kennedy School of Government Institute of Politics. Jindal's presentations, focused on health care public policy and welfare reform, were both popular and highly attended.
Governor Jindal has put forth detailed plans for reforming our state's health care, education, and transportation systems, as well as for encouraging workforce development and continuing recovery efforts in areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
Governor Jindal led the historic response to Hurricane Gustav by successfully moving 1.9 million people out of harms’ way, the largest evacuation of citizens in the history of the United States, including the largest medical evacuation in history moving more than 10,400 people from hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical facilities out of the path of the storm.
