Careful Mitt, you’ll cut yourself..

Why would he bring a knife to a political contest in the first place?
Deserves whatever he gets.

Mitt was lying about having a knife in the first place.

Bok knows his politicians….Romney, mild and civilized versus Obama, Chicago Thug with a proven record of campaign dirty tricks from his first political campaign….Would absolutely not obey “Fair Contest” rules that outlaw weapons. And Bok shows Romney with a “Fixit Gadget”, not a weapon.

Fix what? Angry White Male issues? Too bad there are lots of other true Americans besides angry white (rich) males.

“……Obama, Chicago Thug …..”
.
Examples please. Or are you referring to the Obama who won fair and square with a broad range of support from American voters?
.
You sound like a bitter man who not only lost but had his most cherished beliefs exposed as shallow and faulty.
.
And are you referring to the mild Mitt who stashes his wealth in off-shore accounts along with gangsters and other tax evaders; the civilized Mitt who likes to fire people and steal their pensions; the
opportunistic Mitt who changes ideals so often he forgets what he actually stands for.
.
That Mitt?? If that’s the best you got, your party is in deep doo doo.

Are you sure you want to portray the POTUS this way? Romney with a Boy scout knife…. I mean how would you respond to “is that NWA playing in the background?” based on this cartoon?

This strip doesn’t make much sense, but it did put me in mind of some great lyrics from Rosalita.
You pick up Little Dynamite, I’m gonna pick up Little Gun
And together we’re gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
You don’t have to call me lieutenant, Rosie, and I don’t want to be your son
The only lover I’m ever gonna need’s your soft sweet little girl’s tongue
Ah, Rosie, you’re the one
So Bok is good for something after all… :-)

The dangerous item, is “Free Stuff” use to buy votes. Dem Libs have taken it to a art form…….Time to change the US name and Flag. This is no longer the country of the Free ( as in Freedom) Where you work hard to Achieve and enjoy the benefits of your work and investments………

How empty, bitter and depressing your life will be for the next four years! I pity you. Seek help, it’s not too late to end this self-destructive behavior. Aren’t you RWNJ all deeply religious? Maybe the bible can help to cope with your hate, depression and insecurity…

@Gypsy8 …are you in some alternative universe???
Obama is a Chicago Pol.
Obama chose a White House Staff headed by Rahm Emanuel, now Mayor of Chicago. Most commentators knowledgeable about Chicago politics immediately in Jan. 20009 began referring to the Obama Chicago Thug regime.
-
when Obama ran for his first Chicago political office, he and his campaign did a job of character assassination so terrible that the opponent dropped out of the race. Obama and Rahm are Saul Alinsky disciples…using every dirty trick to “win”….
power, money and control.
-
you may have not noticed, but the 2012 campaign against Romney was another character assassination, with the help of the MSM. Populist pandering to democratic voters was the promise of “Free things”….like the “Obama free phones” that my telephone tax paid for, but the recipients called “Obama phones”….along with the promise to “tax the rich” and “redistribute the wealth to Obama voters”….
NOT an example of Honesty and Good Character for Obama or the Dems.

p.s. I am an age 80 great-grandmother, Illinois native.

“…..Obama is a Chicago Pol…..”
.
Sounds like you’re depending heavily on a stereotype for evidence. You mean to say all politicians from your home state are gangsters? How depressing!
.
Your so-called character assassination was carried out by both sides for the purpose of negatively defining the other side. Not pretty, but its a universal political practice.
.
I don’t recall Obama promising to redistribute the wealth to Obama voters. I thought it was to enable the country to pay its bills – something that has been deferred for far too long.

I really don’t care for the ‘knife/gun" analogy. What concerns me is the “wit versus witless” combat in today’s political arena.
