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.

Ben Sargent is a genius. Got exactly what the GOP is doing when it tries to pander by even CONSIDERING a sleaze like Rubio for VP. Why? Simply because he’s “Hispanic”.

And they are steadily pandering to fewer and smaller groups

Amazing! Sargent got a dot. It wasn’t there this morning when the 19th cartoon was up, so I doubt it gets the dot for 24 hours like overnight posts do.

The best about the GOP immigration policy is Romney’s “Self Deportation” thing. He still doesn’t know (or care) that this was a sketch by SNL from the 80’s!!!

How soon Sergeant and Liberals here forget, it was a Republican President named Ronald Reagan who gave Blanket Amnesty to all Illegal Immigrants in 1986 to take effect in July 1987. This is why we are flooded with illegal immigrants today.

Liberals haven’t forgotten but, the GOP propaganda machine sure has.
Saint Reagan would never do such a “liberal” thing.

We liberals are reminded of this by our
propaganda department (Rachel Maddow)
every day. But we don’t care (and so does she). We also don’t
care that GWB tried to pass the DREAM-act even before Mr. Obama became U.S. Senator..
We don’t care because it is the right thing
to do, humanitarian-wise and economics-wise as well. Rent and watch “A day without a Mexican” and you will see
why even the GOP was for it – before they got usurped by the TEA-party and the racists…

Kind of like all of the little special interest groups the dems love?

Well, when you look at who your party chose to be their presidential candidate in 2008, and how everyone has had to hide practically EVERYTHING about him ever since, one must logically conclude that the Democratic Party picked Obama because he was an “African-American.”
I mean, look at this guy, and tell me that he meets ANY of the hype that was used to sell (dupe) the American public on this guy. His university records are sealed. His “memoirs” have been found to be fraudulent. He lied about being a member of a far-left radical group called “The New Party” (said he never joined any other party but the Democratic). He was a pot-head in HS (the “Choom Gang” story). Supposedly, he’s an oratory giant, but the moment you get him unplugged from his teleprompter, he becomes a drooling moron.
So, if you “think” that Romney is considering Rubio because of racial reasons, then I’ll come back at you with the same thing when you are obviously going to vote to reelect an incompetent idiot for president.

Obama Gets No Immigration Bump:

It was totally done to sure up his base, but his moronic base, well represented here, won’t even acknowledge it.

The non- critical thinking (I wont stoop to using the term “moronic” as they have) GOP base, represented here, are so busy trying to distract from the cartoon, that they cant even see the truth of it. Must be that cognitive dissonance thing they have to deal with daily.

In a time with 25% real unemployment, Lord Ears gives amnesty to a million illegals. What a genius.

Yes, Romney’s supporters are such a brilliant crowd, that they support a killer of American jobs. Give me a break church! Romney helped create wealth for Bain Capitol investors, and himself, by sending America jobs over seas. Bain Capitol invested in a series of firms specializing in relocating American jobs over seas. Bain Capitol was the largest shareholder in Modus Media, a company which specialized in helping companies outsource their manufacturing. Romney killed American jobs and American businesses. Do you feel like a moron when you support him church Read all about it in the Washington Post.
