There are a lot of things to ridicule about Sarah Palin's incomprehensible speaking style and backwards, simplistic views on the issues. But it's her politics of fear and division that must be wholly rejected on Tuesday because it's practically too terrible to imagine waking up one week from today in an America that rewards the awfulness and fear she and her allies rely upon. So before we arrive at the end of the Bush dark ride, let's make sure the Palin dark ride comes to a complete stop on Tuesday.
I'm not one to kick a man when he's down, but I feel compelled to share a cautionary tale of my own firsthand experience with the Straight-Talk Express. That hell-bent freight train rolled over me a couple years ago and I haven't felt the same since.

Barack Obama is going to win the presidency. But this is no cause for complacency for anyone concerned about American liberty and America's place in the world.
Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an oil industry boondoggle and has been administered in a way primarily to the benefit of the oil-patch few rather than the nation's citizens many.
Texas politics are on the move, and for the first time in years, it's exciting to be a Democrat in this very red state. And the Obama campaign is treating us red-staters like our votes count, too.
Progressives have plenty to do to undue the damage and fully untangle America from the sway of the free-market faithful.
