Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 23, 2012
Transcript:
Mark: The honest man has returned... and he doesn't look happy. One Republican who never succumbed to magical thinking is our old friend Jim "Honest Man" Andrews. So, Jim, what's your take on what ails your party? Jim: Well, it's perfectly obvious... the Democrats have vacuumed up all the especial interests-- Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, gays, kids, labor, women, suburbanites... leaving us with only angry, straight, white, well-armed, evangelical men! And do you know why there's no future for angry, straight, white, well-armed, evangelical men? Mark: They can't reproduce? Jim: Exactly! They need women! That's the problem!

Sorry, I don’t volunteer for that duty, and a lot of other women have opted out, too.

The real problem is that the democrats are relatively popular, and the republicans are a bunch of idiots.

Reminds me of The Onion report on the captive breeding program for moderate republicans (I know Honest Man isn’t moderate)http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-breeding-program-aimed-at-keeping-moderate-rep,27371/

Look at the polls again. It was ‘single women’ who voted for Santa Claus. Married women went with the ’angry straight well-armed evangelical men.
Do you suppose Clark Kent is really Trudeau?

Its good news and bad news in democrat reproduction arena. Gay marriage is bad news for Mr. Websters dictionary definition of the word perversion. Its good news because it cleans up the gene pool.

the gop is has factions, the mercenaries and the missionaries. they couldn’t even support their own speaker on a bill. mitch mcconnell even filibuster his own proposal. they are incompetent. no unity. in addition, external groups are fighting each other on influence. rnc, superpacs, pacs, lobbyists, nra, etc…are all spending a lot of money to influence and get special preferential treatment.

Sounds like the “honest man” is advocating a breed of women like the “Stepford Wives” here! Well, at least he is “honest”, right?

You all remind me of a bunch of arm chair cowboys. You try to solve all the worlds problems from the relative safety of your own home. I have ask before, why are Democrats such poor winners that they have to keep rehashing everything? Can’t you just say Hey, we won and go on with your life? Why do you try to destroy anyone who does not agree with you? Sorry to tell you, there are thousands upon thousands of women, Republican women out there. Get over yourselves dudes!

Reagan’s “War on Drugs” was the beginning of the end for the GOP – getting and keeping women high on downers is their only hope.

Oh, I don’t know, I wouldn’t mind if my wife looked like Nancy Pelosi, when she gets to her 70’s… Of course, I don’t make whatever Mr Pelosi makes to keep her looking like that.

And, if they don’t die out, but somehow manage to reproduce, allow some regulated hunting to help thin out the herd.

Those evangelicals kept the Election viable until it reached the Rockies. If not for those evangelicals, Obama would have swept the South and been declared the winner when the polls closed in Texas. Evangelicals held their noses and cast their votes against Obama for Romney, and don’t you forget that! Had Romney chosen another RINO for veep the Evangelicals would not have been able to vote for anyone other than M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E!

“Mr. Andrews, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each Republican man. Now, wouldn’t that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?”“Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the GOP. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious… service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.”“I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Andrews.”

Is this THE Jim Andrews who, with John McMeel, found Doonesbury at Yale, and the rest is history? Great guy. But, was Jim a Republican? If not, unfair thing to do to him:)

Hoooooold me back…..! Maybe if they learn that all those adjectives don’t make them real men, they’ll have a chance (but I’m not holding my breath for them to learn anything).

Ah, glad the day is, that the nasal sucking of the Reptilians fades into the sunset, like the buffalo and the dodo. The remaining dumb crowd of these Republican Neanderthals faces a shortened future on a reservation…

“… tea bagging conservatives, have less fear.”
Teabaggers run on all fear, all the time. Fear is their gasoline.
