    What I find hilarious is the idiocy of the average Kansan, at least those that vote for this turkey. C’mon, didn’t one “Faith Based” leader teach you anything?

    We’re good at providing entertainment (aka laughter) for the rest of the nation, though. Between Huckabee and the BOE’s love of (semi-)Intelligent Design.

    Huckabee won states like Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Iowa in addition to Alabama, and Kansas andwas very close in several others.

    Obviously none of those states are “mainstream America” because… of yeah, because Huckabee won them.

    As Hank would say;… nitwit.

    Like it or not, Phred Felps and the anti-evolution folks have solidified Kansas’ reputation as a bunch of backward rubes. (And yes, I realize Phred self-identifies himself as a “Democrat.” But idiocy has no political bias…except, perhaps, when the Kansas Republic Party meets.)

    Twenty years ago, Nancy Landon Kassebaum was a highly-respected moderate in the United States Senate. She was the voice of most rational Kansans, Democrat or Republic, and was a balance to Bob Dole who was considered a rabid right-winger for the times (y’know… the Reagan era?).

    Fast-forward to 1996 and the reich-wing of the Republic Party sat on their hands because they considered Bob Dole too liberal. Bob Dole.

    A decade later and the Limbaugh-tomized masses, and Coulter and Hannity et al have become even more radicalized! (Who’d a thunk it?) Now John McCain is “too liberal!” John McCain!

    Even the most obtuse American can figure out that half-a-trillion dollars and 4,000 dead Americans in Iraq (with a promise from McCain of a hundred more years there) might not be the best investment of our blood and treasure.

    I never for the life of me have claimed to understand the Republic Party’s thought process (what with so little evidence of it). But continuing the George WMD Bush legacy of unilateral war, deficit spending, elimination of constitutional rights, and general incompetence just doesn’t seem like the strongest political platform.

    A man who looks at a politician as a servant is on Gods good terms.
    A man who looks at a politician as a leader is on the devils good terms.

    Finally, some cartoons reflecting realism,logic and humor for the “masses”. This is great ‘tooning.

    Whatever quirks Kansas has is nothing compared to the complete loons liberals are. If there was a conservative cartoonist in any liberal town, they would have been whining for his head. Liberals would go nuts than laugh at themselves.
