Joe the Plumber: Vote for Obama spells "Death of Israel"

"Joe the Plumber," the small businessman who became an overnight media sensation and has endorsed John McCain's presidential campaign, said Tuesday that he believed a Barack Obama presidency would spell "the death of Israel."

The Ohio plumber, whose real name is Samuel Wurzelbacher, agreed with a Jewish McCain supporter who asked him during an election rally in Ohio if he believed "a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel."

"I'll go ahead and agree with you on that," Wurzelbacher told the man, retired Florida lawyer Stan Chapman who was visiting Ohio. Wurzelbacher, who also said he believed Obama would make America a socialist nation, was joined at the rally by Rob Portman, a former Ohio congressman and budget director under President Bush, who said he disagreed with Chapman's assessment of Obama's foreign policy.

Shortly after Wurzelbacher's statement was made, the McCain campaign issued a statement saying "while he's clearly his own man, so far Joe has offered some penetrating and clear analysis that cuts to the core of many of the concerns that people have with Barack Obama's statements and policies." Wurzelbacher was later interviewed live by phone on Fox News, where he said "listen, you don't want my opinion on foreign policy. I know just enough about foreign policy to probably be dangerous."

Joe the Plumber is absolutely right!
A vote for Obama means death to Israel

Obama's Global Tax Act seeks to fund more nuclear weapons to the wrong people;
"Another program modeled on Nunn-Lugar, the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP), was recently exposed as having funded nuclear projects in Iran through Russia.
