Mitt is still playing with wooden ships. And bayonets.

Mitt wants to copy Obama’s board, cause he can’t think for himself.

Mittens is better at being a Pirate. Take what you can, give nothing back.

Funny! And it raises a serious question: can the antics of a candidate be extrapolated to the way he would “reign” as President? Take a look at all the flip-flops Gov. Romney has made, just in the three debates vs. the positions that won him the nomination. Do you really think Putin, Brown, Merkel, Hollande would put up with such a guy?

Now, this is funny! Mitt would know about Monopoly, he just has to remember that at the end of the game, when the 1% has all the money, economic activity stops. Game over.

You raise a very good point. Also, notice that it doesn’t take much to make him irritated. I watched a video where a handicapped veteran told him that medical marijuana was the only drug that helped his symptoms. He asked Mr. Romney whether he would support medical marijuana. Mr. Romney answered, but the answer did not match the question. This repeated a couple of times, because the guy wanted a simple yes or no. Mitt ended the conversation emphatically by declaring “America’s right, and you’re wrong.” I can just see how well sensitive negotiations will go when he starts calling everyone names and takes his ball and goes home….

See, Willard’s not used to having to deal with ordinary (i.e. not rich) people, or even being around them.
-
He is contemptuous of them and believes it’s not his job to worry about them, even though he etch-a-sketched that comment by stating that he was completely wrong.

Yo, Harley.
-
When Willard made his comments about 47% of the people feeling victimized and feeling entitled to everything from the govt., YOU said he was absolutely correct.
-
Later, Willard said his comments were completely wrong.
-
So was Willard right when he made the comments, or when he disavowed them? Do YOU now disavow them? Do you have the same etch-a-sketch?

Actually, aircraft carriers require an escort screen; a lone carrier off by itself is dog chow.

Your average carrier is generally surrounded by several other vessels, including at least one Aegis (or similar), a fuel tanker, a troop transport, and a few submarines.

Depending upon how warfare shifts in the next few years, there might be room for PT boats, destroyers, or even heavier direct-warfare ships as part of the escort screen.

President Obama said Governor Romney would be better at commanding the Cavalry. Those of us who’ve seen the documentary ‘F-Troop’ know the Cavalry needs a better commander. And Governor Romney is the man to address the problem of the age, so he’s got my vote.

But I’m talking about Mitt’s navy. He only knows what his aides tell him.

Somebody should tell Rogers that for toons, we have this thing now called a premise, as in, the premise of a good joke includes some element of truth, or else it’s not funny; it’s DUMB, just like this one.
Romney was the confident one in the third debate, and Obama came across as petty, as a challenger trying for a job he’s STILL not ready to handle; he did not exude confidence, as portrayed here.
It’s like I’ve said – some of these toons from the left are only funny because they’re so stupid. This one doesn’t have that element of truth that has to be there for it to be funny.
