Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher is not politically correct and he's proud of it. And to prove it, the Ohio Republican congressional candidate told a crowd of about 125 supporters in Arizona that the government should "put a damn fence on the border going with Mexico and start shooting."

"I'm running for Congress and that should be a bad thing to say," Wurzelbacher said, as the Prescott eNews first reported. "You know what, that's how I feel. I'm not going to hide it because I'm running for an office. I want my borders protected and I'm very, very adamant about that."

Wurzelbacher's remarks came during a Friday fundraising dinner for Arizona State Sen. Lori Klein. Last year Klein, an adamant gun rights activist, was criticized by gun control advocates after she pointed her raspberry-pink handgun at a reporter's chest during an interview to show him the laser sighting.

"It's just so cute," she said of her .380 Ruger handgun, before assuring the Arizona Republic reporter that while the gun had no safety, she "didn't have my hand on the trigger."

Wurzelbacher, also a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, went on to tell Arizonans on Friday that Republicans are reluctant to make jokes because "we're afraid it's going to end up on the five o'clock news."

"I'm not worried about being politically correct ," the U.S. House candidate said. "That's one thing that's really scared us and really hurt us as a country is everyone is afraid to open their mouths, to say a little something funny."

I have no issue building a fence to stop the bleeding. Although I don't think it's a long term immigration strategy.

When I say long term I am meaning the damage already done. The illegals already here. A fence won't solve for what to do with them NOW.

Create new jobs. Round-uppers. Pay per person deported.
