Million Dollar Men (and Woman)
I think we have a new Republican front runner...AND he's a born-again Christian!
Today Stantis provides us with some amazing insight into our political machine: money rules all. And the birds go tweet. Way to waste two/thirds of a panel with photocopies of the guys who appear on our money, Scott.
This seems to be a response to all of the news a few weeks ago about which candidates were raising the most money. Hillary had the most but Obama shocked a lot of Washington Insiders by holding his own. On the Republican side...well, for the first time in ages they didn't do so well. I guess that's why Stantis didn't want to go into specifics like he usually would - when the Mormon in the race is the top fundraiser, that's not exactly something a lot of Bush Republicans want to brag about.
We're already seeing the identity complex Stantis and other Republicans are developing. Who do they vote for in 2008? The rich Mormon who was governor of the state they've been taught is the most liberal in the nation? (Note: Vermont is WAY more liberal.) Maybe they should vote for the guy who was a mayor - not a governor, not a Senator, just a mayor - who was hated by his city before 9/11, has three marriages under his belt (his current wife also has three) one of which was to a cousin, and is currently estranged from his children? Oh I know, Stantis should throw his support behind one of the few cheerleaders left in the war in Iraq, who tells us that it's safe to walk around unsecured Baghdad streets (although it helps to wear body armor, have a hundred soldiers with you, and a few gunships flying overhead while you do).
Heck they're so desperate they think that the guy who plays a D.A. on Law & Order is the most appealing candidate right now, and all they know about him was that he was also in Die Hard 2.
Oh, and let's not forget Newt, who just admitted that while he was wasting millions of our tax dollars investigating Clinton's affair he was having one of his own.
It just goes on and on for these poor bastards. Romney was for abortion before he was against it. Giuliani is still for abortion. Dobson says Thompson isn't a good Christian. Romney isn't even a Christian, and he's the only guy in the whole field who's only been married once.
So why is Stantis pussyfooting around the obvious? Sure he hints here and there that he's not happy with his Republican party (hmm...didn't he claim he wasn't REALLY a Republican, but a moderate?), but why not just go out there and say what the rest of the Republicans in the country are thinking?
It's probably because they don't know what to think. They've been told for the past six years what they're supposed to believe, and they've been good little sheep. Fear everything, war is good, lefties are bad, anyone who disagrees with the Leader hates America, blah blah blah.
And now with our military bogged down in a war without end and the average American realizing our economy sucks, they're lost. Who do they turn to in 2008?
Why not use your comic strip to explore that, Stantis? Or don't you have the balls to analyze your own party instead of taking cheap shots at "the enemy?" Have at it, Mr. Political Commentary. Show us what you got.

Thank God! New characters! I can't wait to find out about the wacky hijinks that Carmen and Winslow have with George, Ben, and Abe!
