Government computers used to find information on Joe the Plumber

Well, well, well

Is this intended to be a warning to anyone who makes things hard for the messiah?

Is this yet another example of the change libs are going to bring to America



Investigators trying to determine whether access was illegal

The Columbus Dispatch
"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver's license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

Paul Lindsay, Ohio spokesman for the McCain campaign, attempted to portray the inquiries as politically motivated. "It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question," he said.

I find this rather disturbing. If Obama's campaign illegally uses government computers to dig up what they consider dirt on Joe the Plumber, what is going to happen if they win.

It is called change

Are you surprised? Dems will stop at nothing to silence opposing voices. They are getting ready to remove conservative talk radio from the air, take our 401K's from us, expand government, cut the military, and impose as much socialism on us as possible within the first 2 years - before the first midterm election
