Anti-Gay “Joe The Plumber†Wins Republican Party Office.
Joe “I Would Never Let ‘Queers’ Near My Children†The Plumber, AKA Joe Wurzelbacher, has won one of 400 GOP Party seats in Ohio in a 38-24 vote.
Via FOX:
The group he’ll serve on meets only a few times a year to elect the county chairman and sets the party agenda. Wurzelbacher won the seat by a 38-24 vote Tuesday in his suburban Toledo precinct.
He’s resisted calls to run for Congress and has criticized Democrats and Republicans alike. He’s also taken shots at McCain, confessing in his book that he did not want him as the GOP presidential nominee.
Wurzelbacher remains an icon for many antiestablishment conservatives.
He drew cheers at a tea party rally last month in Cincinnati when he told the crowd not to let “a bunch of liberal pansies” take away their rights.
He told Christianity Today in an interview last year that he believes gays are “queer” and said he won’t allow them near his children.
“I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children,” he said. “But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.”
At the time, Wurzelbacher also said, “People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer.â€
Pretty sure Joe understands the dictionary. It’s called “bigot.”
