We did elect a black president and we’ve had to listen to a bunch of meet me at the gates of hell republicans ever sense. These cry babies are getting to be pretty sickening if you ask me. We really need to get rid of more of these spend us clear out of the bank republicans that we still have left in congress that has forgotten English and the only word they now seem to know is no. They are hoping so bad that we forget that they are the ones that ran us all off into the ditch and they expect us to give them the keys back. In the lat two years they haven’t proved to me that they have learned anything except hate and destruction of the American people. They’re just like this DVD I have that the title of it is Bush’s Brain. He didn’t have one of his own. His Brain walked around beside him every place he went to make sure he didn’t say the wrong things and at all cost put the middle class clear out of the picture. His Brain was in the form of that hog Karl Rove. And now that he is no longer in the white house his brain has left him to wonder around Texas and his family just praying no one takes a shot at him and puts him where he belongs. And another thing republicans want us to forget. They blame Obama for all of this spending when he hasn’t even come close to what Bush-Rove spent to the tune of over 10 billion a month trying to rob a country of all of their oil like they did in Iraq. Which by the way turned out to be nothing more than a great big lie that we found out about when we got over there and our kids started getting sent home in a box for Rove_Bush’s stupidity. Don’t worry republicans between now and Nov. I’m going to make sure that every American doesn’t forget his stupidity that caused us all to loose our jobs, homes, and most of all, our children.

eapopka, what exactly was just four years ago? This is 2010 we’re in, here… Our current president was elected 22 months ago (that’s just under 2 years), and today’s strip was published just over 7 years ago. Also, he specifically mentioned Al Sharpton, who still doesn’t have a decent haircut.
Dennis, I’d really appreciate it if you would take a refresher course in elementary-school English. Salient points you should concentrate on: 1) Capitalization. 2) Punctuation. 3) Paragraphs. 4) Heck, text organization in general.
While you’re at it, see if the teacher will fill you in on how to make your prose clear, concise, and complete. Also, see if you can get some advice on how to present ideas (even controversial or inflammatory ideas) without sounding rude.
When you write something like this mini-manifesto, you sound like a nut, irrespective of your particular political opinions.

Tedcoop,
You seriously need to get laid.

While Dennis is right-on, TedCoop is right that the presentation, if cleaned-up, would be much more convincing to readers. It would sound much less like foaming-at-the-mouth, and more like a reasoned argument.
