And they can’t mention the current President.(“Ow ow ow ow!” [sounds of melons exploding])

Argy, today is the date Dick Cheney came to the conclusion the deaths of the people in the towers and on the planes, could be used as great excuses for invading Iraq…..Yep, using their deaths for personal financial gain….Great guy…..If you’re a Brown Shirt…

Now-a-days, candidates can’t say why you should vote for them, because other candidates will twist it and use it against them.

“Pat Paulsen for President”He may be dead but he’s still better than all the rest!

They have brains? Perhaps they really aren’t politicians!

Still talking about the Dems, I see.

I actually wrote in Pat Paulson that year. He was the only one running who actually admitted to being a comedian.

Gosh, wouldn’t it be great if all of Obama’s supporters wouldn’t defend his many faults by saying “He’s better than Bush”?

What does it matter now?

I have a policy come election time. Anybody whose entire campaign is “that other guy would be bad for the job because” instead of “I’d be good for the job because” automatically loses my vote..I haven’t voted since 1976.

Actually I thought it was Bill who elevated demonizing the opposition to an art. And now all (and I do mean ALL) flatter him by imitation.

Sometimes comics are too easy. As in cheap shots. It is pretty easy to say why we should vote for Bernie Sanders: the man in honest, consistent, and principled in his opposition to economic and political injustice.
Pretending all politicians are the same, not taking sides, is a cop out. All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing (Edmund Burke).

It is always the decisions of the previous administrration that cause the problems, it is a trickle down of the new policies.

Another gotcha, so easy to deal with idiots. Do they ever think for themselves; or just preprogramed?
Can't Sleep about 9 years ago
We need Flo to moderate a debate or two.That’ll thin down the herd.
Varnes about 9 years ago
Gweedo, nice comeback…And .I agree with jlpen…..We can, and are almost obligated to make fun of politics, but we should always take it seriously…Politics may be a game, but it’s a game that can kill you, or a loved one, even when you aren’t playing….Might as well play…..

“Cthulhu for President.Why vote for the lesser evil?”
I have a button that says this. I wear it every time there’s a presidential election.

For once, Captain Eddy has nothing to say. I’d like to “hear” his take on all this. Probably be less stretching of the truth than his other stories.
dflak about 9 years ago
Gee Varns, it is more important to you to demonize Cheney than the remember the lives lost. Says a lot about you.
Oh, you’re being sarcastic like today’s cartoon, right?

I always enjoy the “pipe commentary” – panel 2: a lightbulb; panel 3: a question mark

If Only you could shut them up that easily….

Please can we have Flo as the mediator at the next debate.
dawnsfire about 9 years ago
Can we do this for real? All candidates, regardless of party? Please?
markmoss1 about 9 years ago
It’s the positive campaigning that’s the worst. They keep promising to do something, and every time they keep one of those promises, they screw things up worse.
GiantShetlandPony about 9 years ago
Flo is what Republicans (and far too many men, thankfully not all) fear the most. A smart and self confident woman,

@Reynard61
Probably not a good idea, but LOL. Perhaps the Flying Spaghetti Monster instead?

I’ll still list every one who talks smack about the other guys, and cross those off the list. Who’s left?
