about Clay Bennett...
The son of a career army officer, Bennett led a nomadic life, attending ten different schools before graduating in 1980 from the University of North Alabama with degrees in Art and History. After brief stints as a staff artist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Fayetteville (NC) Times, he went on to serve as the editorial cartoonist for the St. Petersburg Times (1981-1994) and The Christian Science Monitor (1997-2007), before joining the staff of the ...
Clay,don't be mean to Sarah,she may have just the skill set to take where we are going.
It's amusing to see just how scared of Governor Palin the intellectual elitist snobs on the left really are.
Lightnup,if your comment was aimed my way,you may have the wrong guy.I had a hard time getting through UTC,have always been a champion of the middle class,started with zero,and hold political views all across the spectum.
As to Sarah Palin,I find her to be a curious political phenomenon.She doesn't seem to have much depth,but that's not a requirement for political office.She seems to like the public arena,so let's watch,wait...and poke fun.
If conservatives could read, we might see people like Levin, Malkin, Beck, and Palin on the best seller lists. Oh, wait...

As Lightnup said, it is amusing that the left is so scared of Palin. They treated Reagan the same way.
Actually, they can't read... they just buy books... Some conservatives buy them in bulk with a slush fund to push up the ranking.
You'll find those represented by a dagger on the New York Times best seller list.. The dagger disappears when the bulk orders stop.
These are also the books you'll eventually find in the free bin at the local used book store, cause their resell value just isn't worth the paper printed on.
I pick up a lot of their crap out of the free bins... I used to use them for target practice, but since bullets have gone up with the help of the rhetoric these nutjobs have spewed, I've chosen to just use them for kindling.
Matches are cheaper.
I'm not counting Palin out in the next election because she has all the qualities of a good conservative: lots of rhetoric and little thought. Besides, watching her is a double treat: first you have the amusement of a gibberish speech and then the puzzle-solving challenge of figuring out what she said. I'll be rooting for her in the primary because I believe she will set the neo-cons back further while providing some entertainment along the way.
Shouldn't you read a book before you review it?
AndrewLohr, yours was the best, by far, up to this point.
I, too, was somewhat taken by the little gal governor from Alaska last year. However, after her quite abrupt departure from a 'job undone' I have come back to my senses.
Cute, I can handle. Ditsy can be cute as well. However, no one should leave a job before the work is complete or your time has expired.
Leaving Alaskans in the lurch, for whatever reason, tells me she wasn't right for Washington last November, nor will she be in the future.
A quitter is a quitter, is a quitter. No, that was a book review, just an astute observation of the author.
Thank you for your time and attention, Woody
Lightnup, do you REALLY think that it is fear that drives people to criticize Sarah Palin?
She's pretty. She's a fresh face. She knows how to smile, wave, and drop orally originated, conservative bombs on a crowd that make the hearts of right-wing men thump in their chests.
But the burning question in the minds of all, should be to wonder if this woman has anywhere near the credentials to run a nation, and the answer to that question is clearly...NO!
Politically, the woman has served 4 years on a very small city counsel, 4 years as the mayor. She made a losing bid in 2002 to become Lieutenant Governor. She somehow achieved a political appointment to Chair the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003, QUITTING that position a mere few months later in 2004, loudly and with much fanfare, because she was prohibited by LAW from speaking about an ongoing ethics complaint against another board member.
She began a long tour around the state of Alaska, making a bid for Governor and amazingly won. This is where the rest of us pick up her story. She was barely a year and a half on the job as Governor when she was selected by John McCain to be his running mate.
Following a bitter and failed bid as Vice President, she faced the daunting task of having to go back to work as Governor of Alaska, and that I suppose was a complete let-down. She had a taste of the big life. She wanted more.
So what has she done? She quit her position as Governor, under the same kind of mystery that plagued her decision to quit an appointed position on the oil and gas board in Alaska. She has endured numerous ethics complaints and has dodged them by refusing to address them.
She has basically left Alaska, and now flits around the lower 48 states, making paid speaking engagements here and there, penned a book in a few months, that will be a test of sorts, to her ability to make a living over the next couple of years. She is attempting to repeat a successful feat that worked in Alaska, in courting the people of a nation to see her as some saving grace for the Republican Party. Her husband just last week, quit his position of employment as well.
I challenge anyone to discount anything I have written. These facts are easily found and are not in dispute.
If you want to bank the future of this country on the shoulders of a woman with a mediocre amount of intelligence with almost zero experience, who is demonstrably a job hopper, having resigned two political positions under shrouds of mystery, who has all but abandoned her home and state to become a professional vagabond, banking her entire future on the sale of a book penned much like her Twitter pages have been, then more power to you.
The woman has zero chance of being elected President, and if she dares to grace the stage again to go up against the big boys, she will be dispatched back to Alaska with her tail well between her legs, but good.
Wow. Where do you guys get your "facts"? HuffPost, the WH website?
She was on the commission long enough to take on the good ole white, Repub. guys and win. Funny how the Left conveniently forgets all that. She worked her way to her positions honestly, another concept the Left and their celebrities have no clue about.
Assumptions about tasting the "big life..." are just that. You read minds now do you? Shroud of mystery? She stated quite clearly, a number of times, for those who listen, why she had to go.
You armchair critics try having a phalanx of Liberal media dogs snarling at your door and trashing your family every day, Liberals in your government bringing frivolous and partisan lawsuits-to the tune of millions of dollars cost to the taxpayers and to yourself-and you just may leave your post for the public good and for your family's peace. Not one lawsuit succeeded against her.
Now, tell us what experience Obama has to sit in the Office he now holds? Let's see. A lawyer, trainer and community organizer for Acorn. Less than four yrs in the Senate, most of the time absent. Before that, a 'son' of Chicago cheats and greedy Developers, like the Muslim fellow who funded his education at Harvard. A friend of the racist, Jeremiah Wright (who is a friend of Louis Farrakhan), William Ayers, the Pentagon bomber, and a believer in the Marxist theories of Saul Alinsky (you could check out Obama's and Michelle's Univ. theses on Alinsky and "restructuring" America's system "incrementally" if they hadn't suddenly been removed from public perusal during the end of his campaign in '08).
Then there are all those lovely Czars he surrounds himself with. The child molester/pervert-Jennings, the population control freak Sunstein ("forced sterilization of the masses"), Van Jones, the Racist hater of all white people-read his speeches), John Holdren, etc, etc. A litany of the insane, the evil and the underminers of our country. And you guys don't even vet them!. Just one attack after another on Palin, Cheney, Bush....Get over it already! Vet the ones you have in power, just like you told the conservatives when Bush was in power.
Hypocrites, nest of vipers.
these just get more pathetic each and every day. what a meaningless existance.
While maybe stated a little harsh, I have agree with canaryinthecoalmine. So many are quick to judge Palin, but Obama gets a free pass. The man has many questionable associations with corrupt or extremist roots, but there has yet to be full exposure to who these people really are except for a few.
Unfortunately, some are so quick to relate cheerleader signs to Taliban-like characteristics instead of openly question our own President's associations. The media can write off Obama's 20 year association Jeremy Wright, whose foundations of black liberation theology is his justification for racist and anti-American rhetoric. Yet, the media pokes at Palin for her simple talk and lack of a pedigree.
Do I believe Palin is the best way to reinvigorate the Republican party? No, although she is a refreshing face in a sea of usual suspects. For the country's sake, I do not believe she should make a bid for the Presidential nomination.
Regardless, it would be nice to see the media actually serve its purpose and keep a watchful eye on the President and his associates. The middle school crush needs to end.
"Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself with." - Barack Obama
queeni writes, "these just get more pathetic each and every day."
You'd only know how pathetic the cartoons are 'each and every day', if you viewed them... each and every day. Apparently, Clay Bennett is doing his job.
aces25- Two corrections:
His name is JEREMIAH Wright. and the quote from Obama is, "Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself."
The President wouldn't have ended that sentence with a preposition.
nucanuck, my comment was aimed at no one in particular and the "OMG, she's just a commoner" elitists in general.
Her potential threat to the D.C. and N.Y. elitist controlling establishment (and people like alprova and Clay Bennett) has them all in constant "destroy Governor Palin" mode.
And yet Joe "Stand up Chuck" Biden is as dimwitted as they come and gets a pass. Go figure.
OllieH - Thanks for the corrections. There is a reason I am a mechanical engineer and not a language arts teacher.
By the way, I forgot the President was incapable to make grammatical errors. I knew I put my teleprompter somewhere...
At least Governor Palin has some accomplishments to write about in her memoir, unlike our current President who wrote not one but two memoirs before doing anything remotely noteworthy.
Come on, guys- This is a pretty funny cartoon.
Besides, this book isn't even really written by Sarah Palin. HarperCollins selected San Diego-based journalist Lynn Vincent to do the actual writing.
The choice of ghost writers is an interesting one. Vincent, a creationist who is staunchly anti-gay, and anti-abortion, took a leave-of-absence from her job at the Christian-based World magazine to write the book.
It seems appropriate that the ghost writer for the this book believes in creationism because Sarah Palin doesn't seem to believe in evolving.
OllieH's contention that our President is incapable of grammatical faux pas is exactly the type of shallow fawning admiration of which the media is guilty. I was going to say "that the media is guilty of" but that's grammatically incorrect and would just show my uneducated ignorance.
Here's one for you OllieH:
"We are the ones we've been waiting for."
I'll bet BHO is still beating himself up for committing such a gross grammatical blunder.
wonder if this woman has anywhere near the credentials to run a nation, and the answer to that question is clearly...NO! Alprova...it sounds to me she is imminently qualified compared to the nothing you people elected. He had no resume whatsoever. I have never seen anything like it before, nobody in their right minds hires someone for a job with absolutely no qualifications or experience. Yet here we are with a man in office spending money like a drunken sailor and no idea what it's supposed to accomplish, no idea who it should really go to, a commander-in chief (HA!) with no command background or military experience at all, and he wants us to join his little health care club when we all know it's going to cost us more than it ever has before, just so he can get us all to owe him if we don't join up. I've about had it with this fool...Palin would be a breath of fresh air.
lightnup said:

Well said. People forget that by all accounts Palin smashed Biden the the debate. Figure that one out.
Maybe this country needs a PTA mom in the White House. The Ivy League elitest in both parties have screwed this country up.
Amen to that Oz.
Well, giving my paranoia free reign, I'm guessing that ALL the candidates were chosen by some unseen mega-conspiracy organizers who wanted the country to go down the tubes, or something. C:-)
I guess it is my aging motherly instincts that make me feel sorry for Palin right now. MEN!
I was wondering who was doing her ghost writing,though.
I'll have to wait until the book hits the shelves of the flea-markets and yard sales at 10 to 50 cent a copy, unless someone wants to gift me with one.
Hey! Come to think of it. Truman was a shoe salesman and politicl hack but seemed to do OK.
The man that lost way back then was Adlai Stevenson, a statesman and scholar. Too bad.
Guess I'll go wash some dishes before my water gets cut off about now. Trouble up the street, and life goes on.
The left is afraid of Sarah Palin?
Perhaps. The left is afraid of the right wing. Sarah Palin is a right wing hero. There were people driving around with Palin bumper stickers because they wanted to show everyone they thought McCain was too liberal.
It is frightening to people on the left to see people, like Palin and Cheney, who believe in American Exceptionalism.
But more than Palin, per se, it's the power base that Palin represents that has people worried. Many of Palin's beliefs seem so outrageous to some of us that it is sort of frightening to see that some people actually buy into it.
I don't think she's a Hitler, but to use him as an example: Hitler would not have been feared if he didn't have so many followers. He'd just be another wing-nut.
That's half the reason for this cartoon.
The other half is because Sarah Palin is a joke to many people. Perhaps a scary joke, but a joke nonetheless.
Finally, I agree with others that Joe Biden. Talk about C-R-A-Z-Y. I don't want his finger on the button, either.
OK, I should have expected my statement about preposition-ending-sentences to bring out the critics. I meant no disrespect to aces25 and probably should have put a little :) after the sentence.
As for all of the accomplishments that Sarah Palin can highlight in her new book, well, that got me to wondering. Maybe she could have one chapter that describes her support for the 'bridge to nowhere' and then another chapter explaining her opposition to it. Then she could write (correction: her ghost writer could write) one chapter about her opposition to earmarks and pork spending, and then another chapter could cover the lobbyist that she hired as Wasilla mayor to procure $27 million in federal spending,
The book could have been double its 400 pages if Sarah had covered all of the conflicting positions she's taken over the years. And it might have swelled to 'War and Peace' length if she had included all of the chapters that were removed on the advice of her lawyers.
OllieH, are you sure you want to go there, considering these: "I"ll be the transparent President," "I'll change the way things are done in Washington," "I'll have no lobbyists," "I won't allow earmarks," "Pass this stimulus bill and employment won't go above 8%," "I'll have legislation posted for 5 days so people can see what we're voting on," etc., etc., etc.
OllieH wrote: "And it might have swelled to 'War and Peace' length if she had included all of the chapters that were removed on the advice of her lawyers."
And you know this because you have spoken with her lawyers?
moonpie wrote: "Many of Palin's beliefs seem so outrageous to some of us that it is sort of frightening to see that some people actually buy into it."
And what beliefs would those be moonpie?
Lightnup:
When she said it was God's will that a pipeline got built, that scared me a bit. Either she was deluded (scary), she was actually receiving messages from God (unusual - and scary for different reasons) or she was using God for politics (scary). At best, there is only 1/3 of a chance that this could be positive.
I've also heard her speak on American Exceptionalism, in which she basically said we're the good guys so what we do is right. (Her attitudes on America's rightful place in the world scares me, too. This is not the humble foreign policy advocated by Bush prior to his election.)
Depending on where you are on the political spectrum, you can decide how these rate into your world view:
Some people will agree with a lot of these things.
They won't be scared by Sarah Palin. But they're also not on the left, or usually even in the center.
Some people will vote on one issue and ignore the others.
Personally, she reminds me of a Dick Cheney disciple, without the full Cheney intellect. I'm not saying she's dumb. I'm saying Cheney is very intelligent.
If I were a Republican, I would be scared of her too, since she alienates the vast middle, which the Republicans need to regain control.
Still, I think what liberals are really scared of, if anything, is that she might be the path to regain power for the Right. She's seen as a threat because she does have some support from a vocal group, and her vision of America is not the vision that got Obama elected. It's only natural that she'd be a threat.
She can be a joke and a threat. If you like her, you're going to have to learn to live with it. But if you do believe what she says, rest assured, she knows what God is thinking! She said so herself, in so many words.
Its ok OllieH, we dont mind being patient while waiting for the kool-aide to do its job.
moonpie,
That's not what she said, but I can understand how the left would twist what she did say and use it to make her look crazy.
I'm still waiting to hear which of her beliefs are "so outrageous," as opposed to just not matching those on the left.
"...her vision of America is not the vision that got Obama elected."
Heck, Obama's vision of America is not the vision that got Obama elected. He wouldn't have been elected if he had actually revealed his vision of America.
I saw a cartoon the other day of Sarah Palin sitting with her editor. He is looking at the book and asked "what happened to the last 70 pages, they are all blank?"
If it weren't for a ghost writer, Sarah would have quit the book too. She doesn't complete her work. She is all sizzle and so little steak.
Lightnup, she did say it. I double checked it. You can look it up. She said it was God's will that the pipeline be built. It's not like I'm taking Bill O'Reilly's sarcastic remarks and using it as an argument for government healthcare. She said it. You don't have to like it, but she said it. You can deny it, but she said it.
To quote: "I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."
(I was poking fun, though, by mentioning it. I realize she was using God as a political motivating factor.)
Lightnup, you must admit there are things that any candidate says that you don't agree with. Come on. Admit it.
She also promotes the concept of American Exceptionalism. I've heard her in multiple interviews.
That is a concept that is chilling. For me, it overshadows everything else she does or says.
As for the rest, I agree with you.
While reading these comments I just had a chilling reminder that for the past seventeen years the country has been a heartbeat away from either Gore, Lieberman, Cheney, Biden or Palin being commander-in-chief.
moonpie wrote: "She also promotes the concept of American Exceptionalism."
You say that as if there is something wrong with American Exceptionalism. I will take that any day over this:
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/obama_snubs_americas_exception.html# "President Obama's first address to the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, Sept. 23, can only be described as a renunication of American exceptionalism. Obama essentially gave up his nation in favor of being leader of the world when he told world leaders: "No world order that elevates one nation or groups of people over another will succeed.""
"In Obama's eyes the U.S. is tarnished, stained, immoral, and unjust, with a flawed Constitution, and no better than any other nation."
"It saddens me that Obama does not recognize the greatness of this nation. It isn't that our DNA is different. It isn't because we are better than inhabitants of other countries."
"Why during our nation's 250-year history have our living standards risen to the likes of never before seen in the world? We have also shared our prosperity with the world."
"America is exceptional because it was founded under the principles that have allowed its people the freedom to be the best that they could be. This constitutional republicanism has allowed ingenuity and prosperity to flourish, and is our sacred trust."
"President Obama's obvious dismissal of America and its role in the world could not bode well for our future."
Sign me up for some American Exceptionalism. We need more of it.
I guess Obama selected "Motor Mouth" Biden for his intellectual brilliance. The only VP nominees that I can remember that I liked were Jack Kemp and Harry Truman. I thought Clinton selecting Gore was a good move since we ended up with a more representative Senator.
Why is it that people refuse to debate a topic and to stick to that topic?
Obfuscating the subject by bringing up all the liberal politicians that you do not like, or whom you feel are comparable in any manner doesn't disguise the fact that none of you can actually defend the woman at all on the points raised that prove she is totally a bad bet.
You just want to find someone you feel is worse.
Comparing her to Obama is pointless. He's currently the head man in charge, and he was clearly voted into that position by a wide margin.
You're all trying to make this a partisan argument. I wouldn't like her any better if she were riding a donkey onto every stage she spoke from.
Lightnup wrote: "At least Governor Palin has some accomplishments to write about in her memoir, unlike our current President who wrote not one but two memoirs before doing anything remotely noteworthy."
Is this the scope of your argument on the subject? You obviously have not read up on our current President, clearly because you don't care for the man.
If you had, you would have discovered a man who worked VERY hard to get where he is today. You'd find a man who worked for more than a decade to transform ghettos into neighborhoods that people are now proud to live in. He lived in those horrible neighborhoods while he did it too.
You expose your ignorance the more you post, and that's your own fault.
The subject at hand is Sarah Palin. Failing to address her and only making comparisons to others is as pointless as discussing airplanes by talking about motorcycles.
canaryinthecoalmine : "She was on the commission long enough to take on the good ole white, Repub. guys and win. Funny how the Left conveniently forgets all that. She worked her way to her positions honestly, another concept the Left and their celebrities have no clue about."
You're thinking with your Johnson.
That woman right now, couldn't draw enough votes to carry her own state if she sent them all another round of oil checks.
"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where..where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." -- Sarah Palin, Sept. 24, 2008
"I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." -- Sarah Palin, July 7, 2009
"They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan." -- Sarah Palin, Oct. 5, 2008
"I'm the mayor, I can do whatever I want until the courts tell me I can't." -- Sarah Palin
Right now,Palin and Cheney who laud our "exceptionalism" that has robbed the earth, and our people.
Right now,Palin and Chaney laud our "exceptionalism" and that "exceptionalism" is what has now robbed the earth, and our people.
Fumble fingers and mind!
Please, please Sarah. Run in 2012. We Dems will thank you profusely. Repubs will not hold it against you that you quit the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and also quit the Governors position. They did not hold it against Bush for quitting his National Guard service early, jumping ahead of hundreds of others to get in National Guard, managing two failed businesses, etc.
Run, Palin, run.
Comparing her to Obama is pointless. He's currently the head man in charge, and he was clearly voted into that position by a wide margin.....Thanks to Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
Palin would be an idiot to run. On the other hand, consider the community organizer with absolutely no experience other than giving speeches on how people should get free stuff, the same person that sat in church for 20 years with a radical hate monger and then claims he had no idea that Wright hates white people. That same person seemed to get elected.
Palin is a poor choice but she has much greater credentials than the current social democrat.
Keep giving us more dumb remarks and cartoons. They help us to identify and reveal who the real idiot is around here.
The single worst part about the times free press is Clay's biased partisan cartoons.
Remove him permanently if you ever want subscribers.
alprova opined: "..... you would have discovered a man who worked VERY hard to get where he is today.
Lots of people work VERY hard. How many write (or have ghostwritten for them) their memoirs at age 33, long before they get "where they are today?"
Just keep drinking the kool-aid alprova. That's what being an Obama groupie is all about.

I wish I thought that any of the above figures were American exceptions--that is, that they were aberrations shockingly distinct from the rest of the nation.
Sadly, I understand these characters to be clear indicators and symptoms--not causes--of our lowered tastes and standards.
I am afraid that I am hopelessly old-fashioned in believing our standards could be raised. With George Bush and Palin and Obama setting the bar, ye gods in heaven, what rough beast will slouch forth next and flatter the mob?
I really thought the cartoon was about Sarah Palin. Strange how so many jumped from her to Obama and Biden so quickly.
And I would like to know how many people had honestly heard of Palin before McCain announced her as his running mate. I think we all know it was a mistake. The American people saw through it for what it was worth.
vig1995,
I'm with you about the jump.
At first announcement of his possible running mate I thought it was an astute move to put a woman in that position. But I had never heard of her, only of the bridge to nowhere.
Then I heard the results of that appointment!
Lightnup shot back with: "Lots of people work VERY hard. How many write (or have ghostwritten for them) their memoirs at age 33, long before they get "where they are today?"
Of course lots of people work hard. Very few have been elected to the Office as President of the United States of America.
Do you ever go to a bookstore? Have you ever taken the time to peruse the books on the shelves? Nah. You couldn't have.
Otherwise you'd know how silly that question of yours is. People from all walks of life have written their testimonials, most of whom are no more famous than they were before they wrote their books.
If you'd plop down 15 bucks or so for a copy of his first book, which was written long before the man had any political aspirations, you'd learn a little about what it is to be a man of mixed race and how he came to deal with it. He describe how triumphed over adversity. You'd discover a man who sees the world for what it should be and could be, rather than to condemn others for what it has become.
But no...you'd rather have your understandings of what that book was all about come from those who hate the man for his political distinctions. You'd rather hate the man yourself and refuse to own up to your own prejudices, whether they are born in racial or political terms.
Either way, you are extremely ignorant in your assessments of the man. Do you know why? Because President Obama is a man who achieved the American Dream.
You can pick him apart all you want and at the end of day, the fact of the matter is that the man came from nothing to become the leader of this nation.
That's more than either you and I have done with our lives.
"Just keep drinking the kool-aid alprova. That's what being an Obama groupie is all about."
My friend, I don't sit around and repeat what others have written or said. I do my own research and form my opinions based, most of the time, by going to the source of the information I seek.
Your latest rant on our President was spawned because you simply cannot refute the fact that the vagabond, formerly of Alaska, has not one redeeming quality that would make her qualified to operate a convenience store.
Lashing out at our President or anyone else in response to those charges is ludicrous, but not unexpected. It's what people do when they have nothing to add to a debate.
52 replies, and not one person has offered one point that proposes that this woman is Presidential material. Yet, I assume that if she were to run, and didn't quit in the middle of the campaign, some of you would vote for her.
Scary doesn't begin to describe it.
Alprova wrote: "Your latest rant on our President was spawned because you simply cannot refute the fact that the vagabond, formerly of Alaska, has not one redeeming quality that would make her qualified to operate a convenience store."
Oh sure, being the Mayor of a small town and the Governor of a state doesn't really qualify one for much compared to being a real live rootin' tootin' community organizer and hardly-ever-there state senator. Give me a break. How big of a budget and how many employees does your garden variety community organizer have responsibility for these days? Um...none?
Your shots at Governor Palin are nothing short of typical hysterical elitist crap. The same with your, "Do you ever go to a bookstore" nonsense. Elitist snobbery.
And I see you took the time to work in the racial issue too, which only validates that it's those on the left who are so freaking obsessed with race. The rest of us concentrate on the substance, not the color.
Your contention that our President sees the world as it could be or should be is probably the scariest thing I've heard from you on these forums. His idea of what the world should be and could be is so foreign to basic American values, so threatening to the economic freedom and well-being of our children and grandchildren and reaches so far down the path of America's ruin that many in his own party and even the liberal media are finally waking up to the realization that this guy is not at all what he pretended to be to get elected...even though there were plenty of warnings, dismissed as ravings, now coming true.
Keep drinking the kool-aid alprova. It will only make things that much more frustrating for you in 2010 and 2012.
If conservatives could read, we might see people like Levin, Malkin, Beck, and Palin on the best seller lists. Oh, wait...
