Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 28, 2012

A man identifies himself by his work, and Rick has lost his identity.

You mean he pays taxes now? …on his non-salary?

Rick will end up even more demoralized hanging out at Romney headquarters.

mormon romney campaign is trying to put a brave face, and spin that their campaign is not in total shambles. but, the constant leaks, analysis from pollsters(independent,democratic, and republican) all show he is losing every time him and p90x ryan talk. even, wsj says their campaign is rolling calamity, and incompentent.

In panel 3, does Alex have a baby bump?

Welcome to the 47% Rick. Maybe you can ask Mitt for a loan to help finance your writing?

Oh brother! Not long ago it was the 1% vs the 99%. Now it’s the 47% vs the 53%? When will the Idiocy end?

@keenanthelibrarian

Is this strip what, girlfriend…? ;-)

Waaah!I miss Michael Doonesbury himself, & Co. I know we were warned (kinda-sorta) byTrudeau he would be retiring that group, but, daaum, it’s not Doonesbury w/out Doonesbury. Still a good strip, but I’m bored w/the lesser stars’ current commentary.

Great job GT! Bah-zing! You know, I think most people feel they are entitled to food… Sacre bleu et zut alors!

Let’s hope Rick can expose the trashing of Democrat voters’ registration forms by Voters Outreach of America/America Votes (group paid for by the National Republican Party.) Expose Jim Crow!!

Actually, we liberals (and the media) have not kept silent about things that we had hoped that Obama would accomplish vs. what he has been able to accomplish. However, there is still a stark choice between Obama and Romney. As to Obama gaffes, he has been a fairly disciplined campaigner and I really can’t fault him for that. He has made some gaffes but they have been relatively few by comparison to his opposition, which is a rather low bar to have to compare him with.

While I agree with your premis that there are fakers on disability, I think you should stop making up numbers to prove your point (i.e. 2 for 1), Try being a part of the solution: as in how do we help those who truly deserve and kick the fakers to the curb. Unfortunately, the right wing (Rupublican) postion is to cut everyone off. I for one would rather not be part of a society that ignores the truly unfortunate just so I can create infinite wealth for me. Just sayin’

Romney headquarters has become a medicine show wagon, pulled by one dead horse.

I’m in the .005%, the 2%, the 44%, the 30%, the 86%, etc. For Pete’s sake, can we quit with the class warfare already?

Ah, yes, the right wing’s all-time favorite straw man, the “welfare Cadillac”

I personally know someone on public assistance, and she couldn’t afford a $100 moped if you gave her a $50 down payment. She walks where she needs to go most of the time. The only place she can afford to live is a mold-infested basement apartment that has an almost constant smell of urine in the stairwell outside the door.

Maybe you should inform a few of the 150,000 veterans who have no home to go to tonight how easy it is to get all this money from the government.

Oh, the class warfare is over. We, probably including you, lost.

That 47% applies to senior citizens receiving their social security. No taxes paid on that. The soldier not paying taxes on their combat pay. Do they get brand new Caddies too?

The voter turnout in 2008 was 56.8% so it would seem that 91% of the 47% don’t even vote, right?

The 47% also applies to veterans drawing a pension, getting disability benefits or treatments. It also includes the elderly living on Social Security and many others who don’t make enough to pay taxes.

And let’s not forget several thousand Romney-style families that also pay 0% in income tax.

All these despicable canards about people who receive government aid wouldn’t persuade me to vote for Romney and his mini-me if I had the plague and they had the cure..But even if the Republican agenda were spot-on, Romney is nothing more than an empty suit, and everyone knows it. That’s why objective analyses of state-by-state polls, the only ones that matter (e.g., electionanalytics.cs.illinois.edu) indicate that Romney has an obese probability of winning…and it may even be an Obama landslide. (That’s not a plug for Obama; I don’t like him all that much either. But compared to Romney, he’s George Washington.)

No, Ken, I don’t think that’s a baby bump for Alex. More like part of a muffin top of flab that so many gals and guys now carry around their middles. Poor eating habits and lack of exercise.

Rick is hanging with losers.

If it’s my money, my definition of who is worthy should be good enough. Now if I were playing with someone else’s money…I base my standards of worthyness on the Bible, just like the rest of my life.
