Tom Toles for December 17, 2015
Transcript:
Republican presidential candidates are in a pile. Marco Rubio: Americans are scared to death. Voice 1: They see real threats. Ted Cruz: They want to feel safe. Chris Christie: They see things are out of control. Jeb Bush: They're looking for a solution. Voice 2: There it is. The exit.

Sigh. I don’t know the numbers, but it’s a good bet that world-wide there have been at the very least many dozens of Muslims killed by radical Islamic terrorist jehadis for every non-Muslim they’ve killed. Likewise, FAR more Americans are killed by sundry cops, crazies, Christianist terrorists and RWNJs than are by the rare Muslim lunatic, especially if 9/11 is excepted (and don’t forget Oklahoma City…). We’ve got our problems and the Islamic world has their’s, and each is pretty much going to have to deal with their own. I’d suggest OUR biggest worry is what is represented by that mess right there on that stage.

this is the result of making politics a career instead of a temporary service. politicians do things for their benefit and not that of the Nation.

Couldn’t we vote now and get them all off the stage?

magicwalnutUnder a parliamentary system, we could come close (but not quite, considering how long Harper stuck around). If we get them off the stage, the choice is Democrats or Greens. Not bad, but freedom requires a Loyal Opposition.

Vote Democratic. We’re not perfect, but they’re nuts.

The old saying was “dumber than a stump.” From now on, it’s “dumber than a Trump.”

There it is: THE EXIT! For the Republican party, in toto, for GOOD!.I hope for the entrance of Bernie Sanders, the ONLY runner offering the American people anything credible, and of value.

All that, plus last I heard, Sen. Frothy et al. still thinks that the nasty scary LGBQs want to rape your dog and pervert your women. Dang!

Yes. Please. There’s the exit, you guys, now GIT. All of you. Both sides and all in-between. Basically everybody on Capital Hill, get lost and DON’T COME BACK. EVER.
…wow, what a release. If only I could actually do that…

@Loco deSane -I’ve been saying that for years. Good to know I’m not alone.

@hippogriff -Loyal opposition is one thing, but complete raving lunacy is another.

danomanoI am quite aware of the distinction, as are the parliamentarians who coined the term. I do not consider the clown car loyal as their anti-constitutional policies have demonstrated in all three houses.
