Sarah Palin stood before an audience of 600 at the first Tea Party convention and in her twinkly home-spun rhetoric, declared we don’t need a professor of law but a commander-in-chief. As expected, she received roaring applause. And, as expected, she was wrong.

I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;

There has been a lot of discussion on the MSM about ACORN and alleged voter registration fraud.
