How about political cartoons?

[randolph]

On the way to more promises. :frown:

[randolph]

Piled higher and deeper.

[ila]

On the way to more promises. :frown:

That's quite funny, randolph, and unfortunately quite true. You have a president who doesn't know how to lead and is too weak to do lead if he knew how. It seems that "Yes, we can" has turned into "run away and hide".

Where di you find the cartoon?

[TracyCoxx]

On the way to more promises. :frown:

Yeah, very true... Hopefully he just keeps fading away until and beyond 2012

[franalexes]

Maybe he will re-new "the war on poverty". Nah, poverty won.

[randolph]

Ah yes the queen of pork.

[MistressStevie]

Three to get started. -mS

[MistressStevie]

This is my favorite political cartoon of late: -mS

[randolph]

Hang on everybody, the ride ain't over yet. :eek:

[randolph]

One of those was a Democrat, guys. Oh wait, Perry used to be a Democrat.

[randolph]

The blame game is lame.

[ila]

The blame game is lame.

randolph, there's more truth in the cartoon and your accompanying statement than a lot of people would be willing to admit. It was only a few days ago that I saw your country's president on the tv news saying the same thing that is in the cartoon. He used different words, but the meaning was still the same.

"Money equals speech." Unfortunately, there are those even on this site who, in essence, support such a perversion of democracy.

There's something wrong with the cartoon Randolph, the media wouldn't be asking the president any hard questions.

Yeah, the patent issue is truly becoming not only outrageous but obscene.
We are allowing companies to patent natural genes and organisms.

This cartoon is not about patents. It's about Romney's statement that "corporations are people," made at the Iowa State Fair in the run-up to the Ames Straw Poll.

The next to the last frame is about patents.

If you see the patent issue as the primary thrust of this cartoon, you are missing the much broader point the cartoonist is clearly making. Failure to see the terms of a battle is tantamount to losing the war before the fighting has been engaged.

I was simply commenting on one aspect of the issue. Obviously the primary thrust of the cartoon was the effect of money on politics. Cartoons can often be multifaceted, that what makes them interesting political commentary.

[randolph]

Ho hum, more bs from the top.

[randolph]

Reaganomics just wont go away, the great candy machine in the sky.

[randolph]

Sell Sell Sell

[randolph]

Please Barack, no more bullshit. :censored:

[randolph]

Where have all the jobs gone? Ask the GOP.

Apologies to any Americans who do actually know their way around an atlas...

Your cartoon shows the entire "Middle East" as evil-doers. Unfortunately, most Americans fail to see Israel in that group ... despite the tremendous evidence of that nation's charter membership!

My country is indeed where cruise ships go to. Yup, there ain't nothing else here.

Hey Natalie, great map. I would suggest that the Teabaggers, Palin, Bachman and Perry. actually see the world this way.

As if the Democratic party is so innocent!!!! :frown:

If teabaggers would shut up and stop publishing books they wouldn't be so easy to characterize as idiots. As the latest Fortune magazine points out, Washington is full idiots.

[randolph]

Well, how about Washington full of angry people ready to clean house. :eek:

[randolph]

Oh! wow, I have a choice! :rolleyes:

[randolph]

Yep, we can't let those greedy climate scientists confuse us with the facts.

[randolph]

Hey Ila, how about it?

[Enoch Root]

Hey Ila, how about it?

Is that Obama in the background of the first scene?

[ila]

Hey Ila, how about it?

To which I would add, "Don't come here. Leave the good paying jobs for me." :)

[ila]

Hey, cmon we let the Mexicans into our country, why wont you let us into your country?

I'm just looking after you, randolph. I don't think that you could take 12 months of winter every year after all the California sun that you've been living in all this time. ;)

Would those be the snow freeways that we drive our dogs on as we go from igloo to igloo fighting off wolves and bears along the way? :lol:

Oh the wonders of candidates for the most powerful position in the world.

[Enoch Root]

Is the woman really an anti-vaxer? Because that would be another reason to groan.

[ila]

Oh the wonders of candidates for the most powerful position in the world.

And what position would that be?

[randolph]

[randolph]

In a democracy we get to vote. :lol:

[smc]

If Americans weren't bamboozled by the educational system to disbelieve that we live in a class society, the country would be better off.

[randolph]

Yep, they are upholding the Constitution. :censored:
