In an exclusive report by Chelsea Schilling on WorldNetDaily today Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, the self-described "Joe the Plumber" announced that he will be speaking at a Tea Party rally in Austin, Texas, on July 3. Following the Austin event, Wurzelbacher will arrive at the Houston tea party that evening. He plans to spend Independence Day at the San Antonio tea party.
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became known as Joe the Plumber following his Oct. 12 encounter with then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in Ohio. He falsely claimed to be a plumber seeking to buy his employer’s business and questioned Obama's plan to cut taxes on Americans who earn less than $250,000 each year. Since then he has been a paid spokesperson against the right to organize and other issues important to working people. See video below from Keystone Progress where Joe admits he is speaking against legislation he knows nothing about.
He told WND his suspicions about the next president came true, but Obama isn't the only person he blames.
"I don't go around talking about President Obama too often because it tends to draw a line for people. I blame Congress ultimately for everything that is going badly," he said. "Obama just got in there. But that being said, I don't care for how he is conducting our foreign affairs. It worries me. He's also pushing a lot of things through too quickly and not giving American people a chance to catch their breath. I really don't care for how his leadership has been going so far."
Wurzelbacher is reminiscent of the character Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes of Elia Kazan’s film “A Face in the Crowd”. Rhodes was a ‘useful idiot’ for political powerbrokers convincing him that he possessed the power to turn working people against themselves. Like Rhodes, Wurzelbacher will be discarded once he realizes his self betrayal.
He continues in the WND report appearing to describe Obama as a greater threat than the 9/11 attacks then claiming to be God’s representative to the American people:
"Politicians are slick," Wurzelbacher said. "They talk really pretty, but they bring no action to the table."
It is possible for citizens to take America back from "elitists who feel entitled," he said, but patriots must come together and stop their nation from being destroyed from the inside.
"Americans in general have a short memory," Wurzelbacher said. "After Sept. 11 happened, we were patriots for six months, and then half of them fell off. Now there's a very real threat to our country. I don't believe any one nation can take us out, but I definitely think we can take ourselves out."
Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he replied, "I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, 'No.'"
He continued, "I believe he's gotten me on this grassroots movement. If I can encourage leaders to step up, that's what I would like to do. That's a heavy role. That's something I don't know if I am prepared to do yet."
But Wurzelbacher said he will keep that door open if God ever calls him to be that leader.
"I just know whenever I fall off his path, things get really hard," he said. "So I just stick with what God tells me to do."

Joe The Moron didn't mention what else God said to him, "How the Hell did you get loose from the reject bin!?!" Go Away Already!
Get this, folks. I used to work with idiots just Wurzelbacher at the Post Office. Scarier still, those morons controlled the union local!
God told me he wants me to be a misinformed, room temperature IQ, right wing shill. Hallelujah!
Joe the Plumber
Is a big bummer
And in the heat of summer
He sounds even dumber
Anybody know what the number is of this bill?
I believe that "Joe der Plumber" or whatever this a-hole calls himself, was an unwanted, un-lovechild of a Crease-Chin woman who would have terminated the pregnancy if she had any idea that she was adding another knucklehead to the already large roster of mouth-breathers.
ETSpoon done even get me started on some of our sad excuses for unions. They kept wanting mr to give to our PAC. I found that most of the money was going to Bob Ney, Mr freedom fries.
Ever wonder where "Joe,I'm not a Plumber" get's his talking points? He's not smart enough to string to coherent words together,ever!
According to Dave Weigel at the Washington Independent, on Feb 25,2008 spent the morning with none other than Grover Norquest at his Wednesday breakfast.
