Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 29, 2012

But he can get them…

if you vote for the lesser of evils maybe Rat is the best choice

yeah. It’s like the prom. If you haven’t been pinned, you are so out of it.

Rat runs on the Halloween Party ticket.

We already have a rat in the whitehouse

And Rat ain’t patriotic either

Rats wearing lapels…where would the others put the pins? OUCH!

Rat will make a great prez…he sees the risk(s), and seeks the bottom line. We need that. He would also abolish welfare except for the most dire cases, take SS back to dwell within it’s intended boundaries, not be raided…except for beer. Wake up folks!

Vote for Rat! 137 times better than the other guys!

He’s got the most pieces of flair!

Flag pins are phony. Patriotism is in your heart or it is not.. We need Goat!

At least Rat won’t turn us into a theocracy.

I couldn’t possibly vote for Rat, his flag pins are unpatriotic… not a single flag pin has a flag pin on it! Disgusting!

voting for the lesser of the 2 evils,is still voting for evil

That was one heck of a comment.

Rat is obviously in bed with the flag pin lobby.

Wave the Flag; wear the pins; kiss the babies; decry the immorality of others; Rat IS a true Patriot!.

And also doing poorly in Michigan, where he was born and where his father was Governor.

Old joke.

The political calls started at 8:30 this morning & I was happy to announce to the callers that they can stop calling – WE’VE ALREADY VOTED! Now, how to stop the robo calls???.Do you think Pastis is referring to the one presidential candidate who rarely wears a flag pin?

Pins made in China, via WalMart.

Has anyone noticed that Romney’s and Ryan’s flag pins are twice as big as Obama’s and Biden’s. Maybe Rat has the right idea.

“Patriotism is the final refuge of the scoundrel,” according to Samuel Johnson. Every time I see those flag lapel pins, that comes to mind, regardless of the wearer’s party. It has become a cliche, like kissing babies, to wear those pins. None of the men running for presidential and vice presidential offices served in the military, which seems one price for wearing the flag without seeming a pandering hypocrite.

POTUS = vermin. Thus, Rat wouldn’t have big shoes to fill.

Rat is better than someone who is a member of a racist church of hate or believes in magic underwear.

Any of these characters would be better than Romney.

I don’t need to have a flag stuck on my clothes or glued on my car, because I am an American; I don’t have to prove it.·People who cover themselves with flags are the ones the FBI should investigate; nobody puts up that big a front unless they’re hiding something.

Wow, 137 lapel pins. Rat must be REALLY patriotic.

“. . . see how they tower over that brick wall in the background . . .”It’s perspective. When I look out our back sliding-glass door, the school-bus shelter on First St. appears to be only 3/4" tall.

I would so vote for rat to be president

No lapels, no lapel pins.

Haha! Love Goat’s face in the 2nd Panel…

I’m pretty sure Rat doesn’t even normally have a lapel. And I’d look more closely at those flags. Can’t see them in the comic, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were Jolly Rogers.

this is very funny!! thumbs up if you agree or respond!

I have a thumb up somewhere… over the rainbow.One thing confuses me, how does Pig know what a lapel is?

Why? Rat does not sound that bad.

Rat sounds like what was thought to be the future of the republican in 2012

I had an American Flag pin on my work name tag for a while, until I broke the pinshaft off trying to adjust it. Does that mean I could be President?
