Tom Toles for April 23, 2015

It seems like almost all politicians these days come with strings attached. But without a doubt the ones operated by Koch & Adelson et al. are the worst.

Oh, it’s cash, not credit.. well maybe a permanently open account though?

Fishing? …..trawl the depths! It’s the bottom feeders they need.

At least the GOP actually considers multiple candidates.Dems just crown the Queen with the most money and insider connections.What has Shrillary done again?

Just like Soros.

@ Liverlips McCracken" The Kochs are worth multiplebilliions (sic) EACH. Soros is not a billionaire."Maybe you should’ve taken ten seconds to Google before making absurd claims? According to Forbes – source, http://www.bornrich.com/george-sorros.html , " George Soros has an estimated net worth of$23 billion according to Forbes as of 2014."

“The Koch brothers are 80 and 75, so unless they can duplicate the glass, head jar tech of ‘Futurama’, soon enough they will join Dr. Frankenstein as stories to scare children,”And then someone will rush in to take their place.

The parade of conservative clowns will rip each other apart. It simply amazes me that they can’t come up with a moderate who appeals to the middle class and actually addresses the issues facing the country. All they can do is attack Hillary and complain that President Obama isn’t starting another war.

PLEASE, GUYS!! Too many of you (right-wingers, mostly) know all about Ms. Clinton’s sins, but don’t even know how to spell her name. It’s HILLARY! H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.

The ol’ smoke-filled room (powered by burning coal…….)

ConserveGov: Letter to the Vancouver Sun, mid 1970s: “If Britain can have an election campaign in four weeks, why do we take six?” The Canadians thought it over and shortened their campaigns. If they can do that, why do we take forever? Because it eats up campaign money so the race goes to the one with the most bribes.

They already have their darling, and he’s called Scott Walker.

FiveThirtyEight says it will definitely be one of: Jeb, Walker, or Rubio. None of the others can possibly get past the hurdles needed to get the nomination..http://fivethirtyeight.com/

so ted you like the democrat way of appointing one and funding from foreign countries// unfortunately with lap dog press the only thing that will stop shillary is another stroke

Soros, according to Forbes, is a billionaire. The Koch brothers just have four times his net worth. While both parites make political contributions, some covertly thank you SCOTUS, Kochs overwhelmingly spend more on “political” contributions.

The Kochs are sons of the founder of the John Birch Society. The classy group that papered Dallas with “WANTED” posters about JFK just before he rolled through Dealey Plaza. They even use some of the same tactics, and they definitely have the same aims.

so auditions and not a coronation…

Looks like the only thing the reactionaries (pseudo-cons) can come up with is the old Moral Relativism Fallacy; Clinton and Soros. And the little nasty things like Shillary make me feel like I’m at recess in the second grade. A little same to you but more of it, interspersed with I know you are but what am I?

DLee4144: But she still supports corporate junta and permanent war just as most Republicans. Put a dynamo in Willow Wild cemetery and you could run Fannin County, TX, on Sam Rayburn spinning in his grave. That’s what Democrats used to be (and precious few still are).

Great comic!
