Highlights of president Romney's first 100 days expected to include more tax cuts for the rich, voucherizing spending- but not the Pentagon.
Man: Alternatively, you could cut to the chase and blow up the country in your first 100 seconds.

Well, his sights, and those of many others, are already set on Iran. It might have something to do with that revolving door at the Pentagon leading to contractor’s lobbies.

So giving people choice on Medicare, getting rid of Obamacare and cutting spending are the same as nuking his own country. OK buddy, easy on those funny cigarettes.

I think they will bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Note that Iraq and Afghanistan were not mentioned in their lying speeches.

My father told me (50 years ago) that Democrats started all the wars, and then we had to elect a Republican president to end them. Boy, times have changed.

Gotta admit this one kind of puts Rall’s Obama critiques in perspective.

I don’t mind correcting you sir.
War of 1812—Started—Democratic Republican, Ended Democratic Republican
Mexican American War—Started Democrat ended Democrat
Civil War—Started Democrat(Buchanan), ended Republican
Spanish American War—Started Republican, ended Republican
WWI—Started Democrat, ended Democrat
WWII—Strarted Democrat, ended Democrat
Korean Started Democrat, ended Republican
Vietnam—Started Democrat (be serious the eisenhower sending of marines did not start the war Kennedy’s policies did, ""Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place", ended Republican
Gulf War—Started Republican, ended Republican
Afghanistant—Started Republican
Iraq—Started Republican, not over yet.
AS to your contention we did not start WWI or WWII, we also did not start the war of 1812, the Civil War, the Gulf War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, or the Afghanistan War. The only ones we actually started were the War of Independence, the spanish american war and the Mexican American War.

Iraq has not ended, nor is there any prospect of it ending soon. Those newspaper headlines are a lie.

Ted is one of the few who will blow smoke up anyone’s “ass-umptions” to make a point, or raise awareness, good! Thanks, Ted.
BTW: despite the Ike re-election campaign statements, and people’s assumptions, the Korean war has NOT “ENDED”, there was only a cease fire, not an “end”.

The strip is premised on Congress executing the GOP platform in full. Fat chance.
