I think it's telling that my neighbor, a pretty hardcore Republican/conservative, said recently, "I'm still a Republican. But my party has failed me and I'm voting independent until they get back in line with what I believe"

He (well, the people with their hand up the puppet's ass anyway) has been a genius at making us as a nation focus on what his handlers would like us to focus on, while ignoring evidence pointing to the true reason we're in a big economic and international-relations disaster right now.

Time to stop charging the red cape, and make a few runs at the Matador.
Good points, Stinky!

I didn't even get into the whole puppet show issue, but I think you are absolutely correct about that. He's been manipulated by much smarter people most of the time. He'll have to bear the blame for where those masters have led him and us.
