The last comment coming from a Republican who loves to bash Democrats, I'd assume.

In all honesty, I think the cartoon's dead on. Republican campaigns thrive on instilling fear - fear of terrorists, fear of gays, and fear of God. Vote for us or you chilren will turn gay and marry terrorists and their children will be harvested for stem cells... you get the idea.

As always Jim, I love your work.

Is that lightning from his fingers a reference to a Sith Lord we all know and love? If so, well done. Not even sure if you intended it, but all I could think was the quote from Episode IV: "Fear will keep [them] in line." (it's often quoted as "them," though it is actually "the local systems")

Good times as always, love your ability to portray political perspective that eludes so many in such a fun way.

I LOVE it!
Anyone that denies it's the truth is foolish.

It's not Republican/Democratic thing (at least not in any general sense), it's a failed policy/desperation thing.

LBJ tried the same thing at the apex of Viet Nam ("We have to stop the Communists there before they take over here.")

Remember Churchill? "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." ?

That is leadership.

Better British analogy is "Peace in our time". Sorry-ass excuses and finger-pointing while those with the means and the perverse motivation attempt to kill innocents. Maybe you and John Cranley can sip lattes while trying to figure out the crime/gun/drug problems in District 3, rather than cheap shots at Dick C.

FDR said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Churchill said (among other things) "From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

You'd think the Muslims bombing innocents in Turkey would have proven that Islamic Fascists really SHOULD be feared.

Or perhaps the OTHER bombings by Muslims in Turkey, not two days ago.

OR the attempt just weeks ago to take over planes in London and kill thousands of passengers.

OR the kidnapping of the FOXNews reporter by Hamas.

Or the initiation of a new war by Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Or the fake propaganda being Photoshopped by the Followers of Allah.

Or the millions of dollars Hezbollah is countrfeiting to pay for terror.

Or the bombings of Indian trains by Muslims a few months ago.

Or the Madrid train bombings.

Or the Bali bombings.

Or the Muslim terrorists who kidnapped schoolchildren in Chechnia.

Or the fanatical Iranian Muslims who want to build nuclear weapons to start armegheddon.

Or the London subway bombings.

Or the al-Queda terror cell in Florida.

Or the terror cells busted in Canada.

Or the Muslim woman found smuggling explosive liquids.

Or the Muslim expanding their power in Africa, raping and spreading AIDS.

Or the Muslims in Kashmir, assasinating members of the India Parliament.


Just IGNORE everything that's happening in the REAL WORLD, Jim, there's an ELECTION in November!

You should be ashamed for that cartoon.

Really and truely, you are so very wrong.
