    These Republican independent individual freedom fighters surrender their independence and free will awfully quickly and easily.

    Just wanted to remind everybody to lay off the pledges and don’t get caught on the wrong side of St. Stupid’s Day.

    We haven’t heard from fritzoid for a couple of days and there were five homicides in a house near City College the other day, I’m a little worried.

    OMG, it’s a rerun from 1980!

    (For you youngsters, go into the archives and find G.H.W.Bush’s acceptance of the VP candidacy.)

    Wow, I’d better be careful never to pledge anything that Lefties disapprove of.

    Of course, they surrendered their manhoods to Obama years ago.

    Anyone remember seeing the flock of sheep behind Pelosi whenever she makes one of her stupefying announcements?

    See, the tighties seem to think that Robin Hood was actually an enforcer for the thieves and bullies, and didn’t work to free poor people. Same with the Lone Ranger…they never met a government or a strong man they didn’t want to puppy-up to.

    That’s why I get very little action from Dem women on campaigns but reep women will seduce in a heartbeat…because you think for yourself they think automatically they should roll over and have their bellies scratched…there’s an ‘authority kiss up’ gene in Reeps.

    Obsequiousness…bite and suppress the ones below, kiss up to the ones above.Republican #1 rule.

    Funny how you never hear Norquist complain when Republicans talk about tax increases for the working poor (the 0% tax bracket). And minimum wage laws? Unconstitutional! So there is the Republican plan. If you are wealthy, it’s all tax cuts all the time. If you make minimum wage, you get a tax increase and a pay cut. Seems fair to me.

    The interesting legal question is whether by signing these pledges the candidates—at least those who are already members of Congress—have violated their oath of office, which puts the Constitution above all else.

    Pledges are useless. They should just DO the right thing.

    Pledges are unconstitutional: they require the candidate to put loyalty to, say, a Norquist before their constituents. Any intelligent person realizes that there are not hard and fast solutions to something as complex as the US.

    Didn’t someone, Bush back in the ’80s or something, put his manhood in a blind trust in Doonesbury?

    Frankly, I think we could use a little less free-flowing testosterone on BOTH sides of the aisle, from the women as well as the men.

    Finally, the strip that has persuaded me once and for all to vote a straight Democratic ticket and fund raise for every Democratic candidate I can. I say that because this strip has shown me the light that every Democratic congressperson is the living reincarnation of Mr. Smith goes to Washington, and every Republican congressperson is the personification of pure evil.

    When he was only a 12 year old boy, Grover Norquist dreamed up the no-tax pledge. At 21, he declared that he learned all there was to know about politics. Now, all but 14 Republicans in Congress have knelt, kissed the ring, and pledged their ultimate loyalty to mad King Grover regardless of the needs or interests of the American people. All over the wet dreams of a 12 year old.

    “strip that has persuaded me once and for all to vote a straight Democratic ticket and fund raise for every Democratic candidate I can”Modern Fox-fed Repubs . . . so often ending up at ‘all-or-nothing’.What about having Republican candidates that want to keep taxes reasonably low but still balance the budget. . . that are willing to make compromises or exceptions here and there to achieve the overall goal . . . is that such a horrible thing?Why do Repub candidates have to sign this ‘blood oath’ to an irrelevant weasel? Are they incapable of deciding issues on their own without orders from the Party Central Committee?

    Because Obama (who is president) has to enforce the law that governs Federal support funds. Norquist (who is not an elected official) wants to subvert the law.

    …And with that staement, you admit to not having them now. Glad I am an Independant, and no longer a Republican. After 62 years, I have grown quite used to having them where they are…and not being minded by someone that really doesn’t care.
