sam1 I noticed that MARTIN EISENSTADT, the blogger/pundit/war profiteer, is in the news again as the McCain insider who broke the story connecting "Joe the plumber" to Charles Keating. I recently shot an unauthorized mini documentary on Martin Eisenstadt called "The Last Republican" that I am showing as a webseries on my youtube channel, "youkaysam". http://www.youtube.com/user/youkaysam
At times charming and knowledgeable, Martin is, in fact, a dangerous McCain surrogate who hides behind layers and half truths that I like to believe I succeeded in identifying and exposing.

... Wow. The campaign to crush Joe the Plumber , personally and professionally, is hitting full stride. The media, the left and Obama himself (triple redundant) are pulling out all the stops to destroy this man who dared to ask Obama a question. Gives you that warm, fuzzy, hopey-changey felling, doesn’t it? Ask The One a question and you will be destroyed by any means at the media’s disposal. They will hunt through your garbage, comb the records and generally ignore everything else going on in the world until you are put out of work or jailed. They will unleash barrels of ink ...

... Obama's temperament is unlike anything we've seen on the national stage in many years. He is deliberate but not indecisive; eloquent but a master of substance and detail ; preternaturally confident but eager to hear opposing points of view . He has inspired millions of voters of diverse ages and races , no small thing in our often divided and cynical country. We think he is the right man for a perilous moment. He's eager to hear opposing points of view? Hmm. Maybe he ought to let his supporters know that. Somehow, I'm missing out on all this tolerance for opposing ...

The Obamedia proved yesterday that they still have the ability to do investigative work yesterday when they dug up that Joe, or Sam, was not licensed and owed back taxes. They are yet to report that Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama’s campaign, has tax liens, too. So do his companies. Their investigative work only goes so far. Michelle Malkin has more on "Operation Destroy Joe the Plumber."

Now, the story isn't about Obama's socialism, but whether Joe is a licensed plumber, whether he's ...

All of this was nicely summed up by Mitt Romney when he said that our problems stem from "too many Republicans acting too much like Democrats." Now, if the polls are anywhere near accurate, we are going to get a taste of "real Democrats acting too much like Marxists" for at least a few years.

The question itself revealed a kind of offense against royalty that in French goes under the rubric of lèse majesté. Moreover, Obama's comment betrays a frame of mind that is unpopular among independent middle-class voters whose vote may still be up for grabs.
