Tom Toles for May 17, 2015

Deep bench you got there guys! A lotta batties.

Tee Hee, as Hammy would say.

And my overestimate of the audience is that when their IQ’s are summed, the total will be well into the double digits. As for the debaters…

The number one issue is who hates Hillary (and Obama) the most.

The number two issue is Jobs, Jobs, Jobs (for comic relief).

The number three issue is… oops, we’re out of time.

The first debate will be moderated by Sarah Palin.

And yet…they all fit in that little, tiny car…

I agree, I would like to support a sensible, moderate republican but the party is clearly having a melt down and appear to be unable to accomplish anything useful.

I for one would love to see someone running who’s a real leader. Haven’t had one of those since Reagan.

Has any candidate addressed this issue?http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21621237-digital-revolution-has-yet-fulfil-its-promise-higher-productivity-and-betterhttp://www.wired.com/2014/11/solows-paradox/

I don’t know. The way candidate are literally coming out of the woodwork, even THIS place is not big enough.

The Seven Hundred Dwarfs……….

Too bad they can’t find a “Mark Hatfield Republican”, with some intellgence and integrity. Yes, I know, all parties, not even just the “majors” are faced with that problem today. Intelligence is shunned by the populace, and integrity just confuses their narcississtic little minds. The politics DOES, sadly, now reflect the culture at large.

The only REAL independents are those brave iconoclasts who go their own way, hating all Democrats and loving 98% of Republicans.

“Independent” means not affiliated with any political party. The political views of an Independent can be anything. People who identify with one party or the other tend to develop a gang mentality and close their minds to independent thinking.

Two Words: Iran – Contra.
