Considering the conservative record in Congress over the last few years of doing nothing, I can’t imagine why anybody would want to send them back for another term. We like people to actually do some work when they get paid.
So this cartoonists thinks average Joe American is “fat, lazy and stupid”. I don’t agree. They are over worked, over taxed, and left out of the political process by both Parties
The Republicans in congress are doing their job very well. If they can’t accomplish anything that Obama won’t veto, then they can stall so that the Democrats can’t accomplish anything either. Their intention is to keep everything just as it is, unless they can manage to return to the “good old days” of the 19th century, before there was a middle class and when only the landed gentry were voters. And, they have a great strategy for accomplishing this. 1. Disenfranchise everyone you possibly can, unless they are dependable Republican voters.2. Produce ads and media emphasis which emphasizes those politicians who are corrupt and incompetent. Paint all Democrats with the same slime. Lacking sufficient actual slime, simply make some up. This undermines the people’s trust in their government and makes them feel like helpless pawns, so they tune out the whole process and accept the status quo. 3. Support the “job creators”, who are the recipients of a huge portion of the GNP, although that GNP was produced by working people, who are receiving less benefit from it every day. This gives them the money to accomplish the other two goals, and leaves everyone except the “job creators” with increasingly less money to mount a counter campaign. So, this is the way we are going lose the middle class and become a country inhabited only by the very rich 1%, and a 99% who are too busy working two jobs to survive to notice.
In all my years, I’ve never seen so much hatred in the country. We are all just humans, and we’re all going to die. Think about it. With such a short lifespan, do we really have time for all this hate? Only if you want to waste your precious life.
50% on the great meter and another 50% on the bull meter.Republicans should get out of the gay marriage issue, leave abortion alone. Churches – only the left is trying to eradicate any religion that isn’t the government.Schools – You’ll get in more trouble at a public school if you have a bible than a porn mag.Eating in school – isn’t that what Michelle Obama is doing?Votes that count – A valid ID card isn’t really that hard (or expensive) to get. Parts of the constitution to ignore? To Democrats it’s 100% since it gets in the way of the greater good and the benevolence of government.

That’s what happens when a Republican sells out to special interests like the pro-illegal immigration crowd.Only Democrats can do that!

Politics aside perhaps the voters just plain didn’t like Cantor.

There’s more hatred than humor in this cartoon.

The Left and Democrats must really be nervous about this upset. They are spending so much effort to vilify it.
