Never Never Land And The Lack Of Heroes

Silly people see the world through kaleidoscope lenses (For a better look at what matters, see Dr Sanity. See this sad song, too).

Mike Huckabee shepherd’s the religious faithful to cast Iowa caucus ballots in his favor, simply because he’s a pastor (of sorts). Nothing else mattered.

John Edwards finishes a respectable second in the caucus and immediately shows the nation what he does best. He lied.

To a cheering local audience, he looked into the cameras and lied to the nation when he said that had an insurance company paid for a liver transplant, a young girl’s life would be saved. He lied when he said her doctors supported the transplant idea. In fact, the transplant would not have saved her life and every doctor allied to the case knew that.

There is a reason Edwards is reviled in North Carolina. In the last presidential election he couldn’t deliver his home state or county. This ‘man of the people’ lives in the largest home in Orange County, NC, and a ‘staff’ that reminds us that the ‘old time ways are not forgotten.’

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama have a lot in common. No one knows exactly where they stand on the issues and hat suits their supporters just fine. Their candidates can be anything they want them to be. They are the Cabbage Patch candidates.

Fred Thompson makes great videos. That should come as no surprise to anyone who has watched Law and Order. Fred Thompson says all the things many people want to hear, which is nice considering he does not yet have to contend with an ornery and a culturally corrupt Congress. Yes Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, were talking about you.

Have you noticed how none of the Democrat candidates want Pelosi or Reid within their no-fly exclusion zones?

Rudy is now banking on Florida’s substantial New York retiree community to launch his campaign in earnest. Apparently a shared love for thin crust pizza and pastrami translates to votes.While we appreciate his heroic efforts after 9/11, that violin solo is getting old.

John McCain is a very nice man. He plays and dances well with everyone. While that may work well in kindergarten, a president of the United States must be willing to go it alone and be unpopular if need be. The White House is not the set of the Teletubbies or Barney.

Hillary wants us to desperately believe that the country need another Clinton administration.  Not satisfied with her husband’s lackluster performance in Rwanda, it appears she has every intention of showing him up in Darfur. She has said nothing about the genocide there. She has also said nothing about the 941 FBI files of Clinton enemies ended up in her private study and in her desk drawer in the White House, furniture and gifts that were stolen, her brother, presidential pardons, ad infinitum. It’s only a matter of time before the Pelicano type-investigators come out and threaten Obama supporters.

Why? Because Obama carried the women’s vote in Iowa. Hillary is pissed.

Nice.

The Anchoress corrals context and perspective on all this.

We have one question: Where are the heroes?
