    As wrong as the Benson cartoon portraying Ryan as a baby. Both cartoonists should start over.

    On Oct 4th Varvel did a cartoon based on Obama’s passivity. Can’t seem to decide what he wants.

    When one side talks about style, you know they lost the content debate.

    So let’s get this straight… Romney was a decisive leader, and Biden was a bully? Hmm. Since the style was a tie, I’ll go with the guy with truth on his side. Biden.

    Liberals believe that when they’re guys lie, it’s for the greater good so it’s just fine. If Ryan had been as disrespectful as Biden was, then you can be sure the lefties would be howling in outrage at Ryan’s behavior.

    Liberals are absolute, total HYPOCRITES! And what’s really sick is they’re smugly proud of it!

    You know what, people die under every presidential administration, check out the war dead under the Republican Abraham Lincoln, well known war; 1860s.

    More recently 2k dead in New York under a republican appointment to the white house and another 4k dead in Iraq, plus others that are not Amercans.

    Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, even the president died as a result of the 1860s war.

    A cartoonist with absolutely no sense of humor attacks a politician for having one.

    He acted like a buffoon – and all I could thinkof is this guy would replace the President if something happened. He was rude and just a plain jerk.

    The truth, Ima, is that Bush policies, and lies, killed a LOT of people, and Romney/Ryan will do the same. Biden is not a clown, maybe the jester, and Ryan and Romney want to be the king and prince, of further darkness.

    All the Republican talking points, lies, and scare tactics are utterly laughable. A Good Cartoon.

    Biden makes practical sense, Ryan is serving only the radical rich, pitty some people have not caught on yet.

    I prefer to look at the opinions as preferences, rather than prejudices. If one pre-judges their mind may not be able to be open when better information is available. I don’t like to lean too far to the left or right since, because I don’t trust either party, I expect them to let me fall if I don’t keep myself centered.Respectfully,C.

    I do concur the artists we have access to are generally of a D or R point of view. Progressives like me are more sympathetic to liberal viewpoints, while progressives like you support the more conservative view points. ;)I really haven’t put a mental D or R beside the names in the index, but I would not be surprised to find you generally correct, liberal depictions in toons, newpapers, and tv shows make alot of money.Fox News warns of the threats coming from liberal values and the politicians who represent them, yet, Fox TV gives us some shows depicting some of the worst characteristics of our people, often with no redeeming moment at the end. Don’t get me wrong, many of their comedies make me laugh, but I don’t watch them at home. Five minutes of cringing over a bit is not worth 15 minutes of laughter for me. Respectfully,C.
