Once upon a time I thought this strip was more evenly balanced. Either I was wrong, or something has happened to change it. Frankly, this strip is now no more than a long editorial cartoon with a very pro conservative side only. Sad to me at least.
Perhaps, the Bunny of the Apocalypse can rescue it?
Well, heck, the strip isn’t balanced and there’s no reason it should be. The cartoonist has a particular point of view (one I don’t happen to agree with) and shares things that he believes with a humorous and hopefully wry twist. Believe me, I’m far to the left of Scott Stantis and would gladly debate him if we were in a serious conversation, but he’s just playing with things he finds amusing. He certainly twits the absurdities of the philosophy that he agrees with more than not, and generally isn’t nasty. Screed all you want in the comments, but regardless of your politics you won’t make your point nearly as well as Scott does.
Although it’s probably 70/30 in terms of balance, today’s strip is right on target. I am indeed very disappointed by all these things. Too bad neither Obama nor Romney says anything about fixing them in the next administration.
It’s too bad he doesn’t actually research anything, just going with the chain mails he gets in his inbox and then running with it. We aren’t supposed to bother with facts these days are we?
Stantis complains about Dems only looking at half the picture; while he only looks at half the picture. Like Congress had nothing at all to do with what he accuses Obama of not doing. Irritating.
Carmen is right. The fact that the Democrats are having their convention at a stadium named for a big bank that was bailed out in 2008 is telling in itself. Democrats who were happy to complain about Bush’s excesses seem to be ignoring Obama’s excesses, even when he continues a dubious policy of his predecessor.
Carmen forgets that Gitmo, warrantless surveillance and executive execution orders were cooked up by the Bush regime and passed through a Republican controlled House.
She also forgets that same Republican controlled House has voted against everything that Obama has tried to do so any attempt to remove these things has been blocked.
Your bad memory has serendipitously forgotten, before an elected Obama was even sworn in, the Republicans vowed to do whatever was necessary to see that nothing Obama and/or the Democrats had proposed or promised would ever be permitted, and they did everything in their power to stall or vanquish every effort of Obama and his administration.
So…please…tell me how the ‘failure’ of Obama was his fault when it was orchestrated by his opponents?
