Tired of "politically correct?" Want an editorial cartoon that is quick to call out the bumblings of U.S. politics and cuts slack to no one? Pulitzer-Prize winner Ben Sargent is paying attention and making Washington have second thoughts about that little thing called the First Amendment.

If Rick Perry were elected then every state would be required by the Federal Gubmint to highly regulate businesses that do bidness in their state.
.
That way Texas could get all the bidness from the bidnesses that don’t want to be regulated.
.
Texas first, y’all!

Perry/Bachman … well, lets see what the Dems are offering.
Maybe, if we campaign hard enough, we can elect a write in candidate who would support those who support him.
Well, hey, it’s a comic, isn’t it?

“Maybe, if we campaign hard enough, we can elect a write in candidate who would support those who support him.”
Good luck with that. I’ve been voting 3rd party since I left the Democratic Party during the Clinton Administration. Regardless of how much support a 3rd party candidate has, he or she will get next to no press coverage. The campaign deck is stacked against them by the two major parties, and both maintain their joint death grip on the system.

Why run for a race you have already lost once?
Cruz is not on the side of American working people, no more likely to insult and attack even fellow Latinos.
The GOP is always on the side of the powers with the money.
It is the Democrats who are more on the side of the worker and the common man, whose pay has not risen since Reagan,while the CEOs pay has skyrocketed.

Fortunately, I believe Rick Perry has little better chance becoming President of the United States than I do. Perry is fairly much proof that the “good” residences of Texas don’t take their elections very seriously.

The main problem with all-too-many third party candidates is they are people with a basically unrealistic political agendas. They tend to be great at pointing out problems; not so good at proposing realistic solutions.
’
The basic platform tends to be, “If everyone does what they are suppose to do when they are suppose to do it, everything will be great.” Well, duh! If societies actually operated that way Communism would have been a smashing success.

One thing for sure, Perry would be a giant step up from our Screw up Community Organizer.
