The dude can fly, is impervious to bullets, and can shoot lasers out of his eyes.
Sorry Batman lovers, but as badass as Batman is, Superman would definitely kick Battman's ass in a fight.
He is the king of all superheroes.
BUT if Superman were to run for President of the United States in the year 2008 and his party was the Republican party than - if logic prevailed - on the first Tuesday in November, the voters of the United States would kick Superman's ass in ways Batman can only dream of.
Superman the Republican would lose because the Republican Party under the leadership of G.W. Bush and Richard Cheney have done more harm to this country than any other President in the history of the United States. Rights have been stripped under the shade of fear. What was once a national surplus has been pillaged into the greatest deficit any democracy has ever sustained. Teachers are getting pink slips. Students have to learn in classrooms filled with forty kids. College tuition is unaffordable to the majority. The Housing Market has crashed and with it, many people's dreams. And let's not forget the scandals: Tom Delay, Scotter Libby, Alberto Gonzalez and the king of the all, Karl Rove has fled the country to avoid being subpoenaed.
Lies sent us to war.
Lies sent us to war.
Lies sent us to war.
And they have the audacity to wave a flag in our face, tell us to support the troops while they cut the funding for G.I education, body armor and adequate military medical support.
If today Superman the Republican entered the race for President of the United States then despite his ability to fly, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on; despite his x-ray vision, he would rightly be judged a fool for having zero vision for the future; despite his ability to block bullets, his reputation would be politcal cannon fodder for unjustly putting our troops in harms way and then having the audaciousness to deprive them the protection, health care and education worthy of the greatest democracy in the world.
But of course, none of this would never happen.
Because Superman is a liberal.
And besides, the voters of this great nation would realize that it's going to take a lot more than eyes that shoot lasers to fix this mess.

Dan's Top Diatribes
1. "Lincoln" Dan sounds off on how the 21st Century Republican Party is no longer the party of Lincoln. To avoid further casual, conservative revisionism, he poses a unique contest of vigilance: winner gets to select something for him to break.
2. "Superman" Using his favorite superheroes in an analogy, Dan makes the argument as to why no Republican should win in November.
3. "Old Argument Odd Package" Dan breaks down John McCain's acceptance speech.
4. “Russian Chess Masters" Dan offers a unique theory as to why Russia may have invaded Georgia.
5. “Can Rock and Roll Save the World? Let's see...” This one isn’t a rant. It’s a plan.

If you're right, we're screwed. Obama's retardation in regard to fiscal policy will drown the nation as fast or faster than Bush's war and has more to do with "fairness" (redistribution) than economic vitality. Then again, there's a long tradition to uphold.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary.
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General Operating Fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the federal government to 'put away', you may be interested in the following:
----------------------...
Q: Which political party took Social Security from the
Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it in to the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate.
----------------------...
Q: Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
----------------------...
Q: Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.
----------------------...
Q: Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That's right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, they began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them even though they never paid a dime into it!
'A government big enough to give you everything you want,
is strong enough to take everything you have.'
-Thomas Jefferson
God bless AmeriCain and his clones, let's all just live in fear of our insecurities, all by ourselves and not even try to create some peace equilibrium in the world while we can. Dan, if you're wrong, we're screwed. When I die, I'll have all the time in the world to rehash the democratic past. While I'm alive I will support the current presidential hopeful that will best help our nation mend the giant wound we have inflicted upon the world thanks to W and our current government. I'll take honest retardation any day over stupid ignorance. You can learn, adapt and improve the first situation, the second situation is hopeless, or as we say, just Bush league.
