    Yes, Lefties just have to deride the Tea Partyers. After all, only nutjobs can be in favor of lower taxes, limited government, and freedom.

    So obviously there are no Black middle class suburban men who take care of their lawns and who also happen to be republican.

    Oh, so that’s their platform. Maybe they should get some bumper stickers or something that says, “The Tea Party - Not Exactly the Republicans”. It’s got to work better than “The Tea Party - Nuttier Than the Last Bunch!”.

    Remember all the BS that tea baggers and their violent talk and actions? Yet, I have yet to hear any of that type of talk of when a TV station showed that little Mexican boy hitting a pinata that looked like the Arizona mayor. Talk about violent actions. Oh. that’s right. Obama wants to pass his amnesty bill before he becomes a lame duck president in another year and since he and his cronies controls the press, that’s alright.

    Teabaggers are quite interesting. Thay want smaller government but not if it cuts the benefits and services that they receive from the government. And the Arizona governor was especially entertaining. She blames her immigration problem on the federal government. She wants a bigger federal government to solve her problem. Of course, she wants a bigger federal government only for her benefit, not for the benefit of others. Perhaps she should inquire if the small businessmen in Arizona, many of whom are small government republicans, would please stop hiring illegal immigrants and paying them “under the table”. That might help solve her immigration problem.

    And please remember, all teabaggers are not racists (just too many of them). And all teabaggers aren’t republicans (just most of them). But all of them are selfish.

    No one howls louder about a cartoon they don’t like than a Right Winger.

    “Ash said, 3 days ago So obviously there are no Black middle class suburban men who take care of their lawns and who also happen to be republican.”

    I’m sure there are people like that somewhere but this strip is using a particular character. You see, it works like that. One character can’t represent every type at once. I know that’s a difficult concept for the humorless.

    The country has gone near bankrupt for celebrating ‘freedom’ and unchecked capitalism so it sounds really funny when the righties want more of what brought the US to her knees.

    Pschearer, where is your kind-hearted Ayn Rand utopian capitalist/filantropist? All I see is greedy bankers and corporations who milked the country. The last right-wing president, who wanted minimal government, was a semi-retard who spent the country into hell.

    How come righties think that a society is better if a greedy CEO gets a billion bucks bonus than if a government builds schools, roads and hospitals? Before parrot-answering standard 1950’ies capitalist theory, look where unchecked capitalism brought us:

    donaldo, unchecked capitalism didn’t take us there, Unchecked government spending is what brought us to that point. Capitalism does not equal national debt in any way shape or form.
