    The first corporate president. Completing the return to serfdom.The sheep gladly being led to their pens.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    And here I thought it was actually going to be an argument. Silly me, this election isn't about policy, it's about s*** slinging.

    Yes, except every comment is entirely true, hence you have no point whatsoever (as usual).

    I love u too Rune. Except they're not comments, they're political cartoons as such, well I don't see romney in a car running over people, Haven't ever seen an elephant in a suit, occasionally see torn flags but not often soooo. Not really a comment so much as a "Romney is an evil overlord!" Which really kinda Mirrors the "Maobama" comments the repub's trot out so much.

    A political cartoon is certainly a comment, and, as I said, they are all accurate.

    Absolutely accurate. If you add in what will happen to the supreme court and any progress we've made in this country then the transformation will be complete. Hello fascism...and serfdom.
    Stupid, paranoid, and armed is a bad combination.

    Christianity: Sending telepathic messages to a Jewish ghost letting him know that you will accept him as your master and ask him to remove a magical curse that was passed down to you because an old woman that was made from the rib of her partner ate a piece of magical fruit from a magical tree because a talking snake told her to.

    Ask me again why I'm an atheist?

    Ben Franklin had the first American political cartoon. They have always had a place in our history. A picture paints a thousand words and all that good stuff.

    These fools don't have balls. They are a bunch of mindless freaks who sit in their mothers' basements believing that some guy in magic underwear is going to arrive on a beam of light and make them rich.

    If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.

    Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.
