What do you have left as a party when you can't even hold on to Joe the Plumber?
Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, tells TIME he's so outraged by GOP overspending, he's quitting the party — and he's the bull's-eye of its target audience. But he also said he wouldn't support any cuts in defense, Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid — which, along with debt payments, would put more than two-thirds of the budget off limits. It's no coincidence that many Republicans who voted against the stimulus have claimed credit for stimulus projects in their district — or that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal stopped ridiculing volcano-monitoring programs after a volcano erupted in Alaska. "We can't be the antigovernment party," Snowe says. "That's not what people want."

1. Well, they still have two dumber-than-rocks beauty queens, a fat loudmouth pill-popper,...
... all of the morons on FOX, people who think Earth is 6,000 years old, dinosaurs were on Noah's ark, and the moon generates its own light, and a bunch of old people who can't see or hear well enough to realize "The Grand Old Party" has a hangover.
