Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 28, 2012

We already have a Captain Eddie in Congress. It’s John McCain.

Eddie be smaht…!

What’s wrong with these people? The answer is obvious — to minimize corruption, minimize government! The tenth amendment should do that, but has been ignored for decades, so we need amendments that specifically ban things like block grants and other “work-arounds” which have given the Federal government too much power and influence.

Eddie is over qualified.

Charlie McCarthy for PresidentIf We Must Have a Dummy, Let’s Have a Good One.

Too bad Flo hadn’t brought this up sooner – Cap’n Eddie would have been a great addition to the primaries (and debates)!I’ve thought of running for office myself. My campaign slogan would be “I need the money and insurance.”

with eddie as president and the eckert as his veep, how can we lose?

The campaign theme song could be Grand Funk Railroad’s “I’m Your Captain.” Everybody, listen to me, And return me, my ship. I’m your captain, I’m your captain, Though I’m feeling mighty sick.

Lord love a duck Arianne,Grand Funk Railroad-am I that old?

all pols are sociopaths, psychopaths, greedy, have an iq of a soap dish, liars, with napoleon complex.

All we need are a couple of hundred congress persons like Elliot Ness! That would do it!

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of congress. But I repeat myself.Mark Twain

“I think that a slate of “99%” candidates should run for Congress in 2014 or 2016.”#Who would vote for someone who hasn’t taken a bath in over a year; who’s been camping out in all kinds of weather for no purpose, and who has no job? Not me.

This is why we’re voting for Romney

“My name is Captain Eddie, and I approve this message.”

It’s a pit all right, but I don’t think that’s mud in there……Doesn’t smell like it, anyway….

If Danae was his campaign chairman Eddie would be a shoo-in

@capnLazI would never run for Congress. I might win. I do not want to be a member of one of the most detested organizations in the country.

I think the only groups with lower approval ratings are pedophiles, drug dealers and terrorists.

It would hardly be the same; ever an ever…

Elect 100 editions of Paulie to Congress, they’d eat the rats??

I prefer Bill the Cat for Pres. and Opus P. Penguin for Veep.

Scour the Marinas near DC for the Anoesis!!!!

Can’t imaging either would want the job. Walter would just complain that nothing works — and we already have a president who does that…

No, Walter for President, Peanut for VP, Achmed for Homeland Security, Jose’ Jalipino for Immigration, Jeff Dunham Chief of Staff and speech writer.

Jack Straw, from Wichita?

The reason politics are failing: age restirctions. Back when they were put into place the idea was the wisest people would be able to run, but now it just means the ones who have become corrupt and jaded get it and the young idealists go do something else with their time until they wise up and realize that anything else is more rewarding.

Mud pit is absolutely correct.

Rickapolis, like I said before I don’t think it’s mud. It smells like….um….Man, I am so lousy at spelling, what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, yeah, smells like chit, man….

Why not make it illegal for lobbyists to give campaign contributions (e.g. bribes) to congressmen? If a corporate lobbyist wants to convince a lawmaker with persuasive rhetoric, that would be OK. They shouldn’t be allowed to buy them off with cash payments.

On the Smother’s Brothers Comedy Hour:Pat Paulson for President.

@mechanic“… Do you think together we may bring about change?…” If we continue on the current course, Greece’s situation will look like a ‘bump’ in the road. Who disagrees with that outlook?A person that can reach across the philosophical divide will be called a ‘peace maker’.

@mechanic“… in practice I do not think your idea is practical…”First, There needs to be a country-wide grass-roots movement to focus on and target 1 long-time Senator and defeat him. Then go after another one, etc. It works. Look at the TEA people. The goal is to replace all long-time Senators. The rest of the Senators will ‘get religion’. They will do anything to stay elected- even do their job.
