The Mandarin Candidate
TODAY'S REPUBLICAN TALKING POINT
Ahhhh, there's the Scott Stantis we know and loathe. Obama and his policy advisers are all brainwashed socialists, dontcha know.
Apparently Stantis wasn't paying close enough attention: the GOP talking point is that Obama is a Marxist, not a Socialist. Don't go confusing the Republican sheep, Stantis - they have a hard enough time telling the difference between the McCain of 2000 and the McCain of 2008, they don't need you throwing out yet another false label about Obama.
What's even more confusing is that Stantis seems to be saying that Obama's "policy folks" are calling for us to nationalize oil production. Um, when did that happen? Listening to the Freepers again, Stantis? Last I heard, Obama was willing to compromise on offshore drilling, which doesn't exactly sound like something a Socialist would do (and it shouldn't be something a Democrat would do, but whatever - he's a politician, he
panders).
It's nice to have the political Stantis back. I've missed hearing the Republican talking points as filtered through Fox News and right wing bloggers. Saying that Obama and his followers would be right at home in Communist China since they've all been brainwashed into socialists is a whole lot more entertaining than Winslow trying to swim. I'm curious though - why would a Muslim like Obama be a Marxist Commie? Maybe Sacki can explain that one.

Oh. My. God. He took weeks to build up to that punchline? Being a conservative cartoonist must be a sweet life, I tell you.
Yeah. Making friends with the Europeans = violent overthrow of the bourgeois. Which, I suppose, are all those people making between $150,000 per year and $5 million per year.
