How is this for a personal nightmare? You are given the opportunity to give your honest opinion to a candidate who sought you out ostensibly looking for an honest answer.

So far, so good.

If the candidate is John McCain and you are generally supportive there is no story. You go back home and the world never hears of you and leaves you alone.

If the candidate is John McCain and you are critical of him you make the news as hero everyman, a speaker-of-truth-to-power. Congratulations, you have gotten your 15 minutes of fame.

If the candidate is Barack Obama?

If you are supportive of The Chosen One: Congratulations, you achieve everyman hero status as one of the massive throng of those wanting Hope and Change brought to Washington. Collect your 15 minutes of fame and go home.

If you are not supportive and through some freak of serial occurrences actually end up on YouTube asking The One a question that causes him to reveal himself as the re-distributionist that he is?

Well, you will get your 15 minutes of fame alright plus whatever extra time is required to guarantee your personal destruction.

Do you think I overstate?

Remember, Joe Wurzelbacher's exchange with The One took place in front of his own home as the Obama campaign swept through his neighborhood.

In. Front. Of. His. Own. Home.

Keeping that in mind, now consider this article alone from the Toledo Blade. Read it all the way through.

The article contains information about Mr. Wurzelbacher that necessarily came from a very thorough search through public records, i.e. tax rolls, licensing status, voter status and party affiliation, and even his divorce record. It looks as though there may even be some "official" retribution from his town's government given the status of his plumber's license or lack thereof. (Imagine what would happen if an illegal alien was critical of McCain and the McCain campaign then tried to point out that he was...you know...an illegal alien.)

All of this in three days. If the MSM/Obama Campaign Consortium can find anyone with a personal grudge against Mr. Wurzelbacher we will begin hearing from them also.

In. Front. Of. His. Own. Home.

Put yourself in Joe's place. The Great Uniter, The One, Hopey McChangey is passing through your neighborhood asking for input.

And fate delivers the chance to provide you, Joe Citizen, to provide feedback to the man who may end up running the country in this great exercise in democracy.

If you agree with him, then by all means tell him and collect your 15 minutes.

If you don't, then go back inside your house so that the Mainstream Press won't publish everything they can to embarrass you.
