Tom Toles for November 22, 2012

Hey! No peeking.

Those cards he’s holding are all the different tax hikes he’s considering.

This is brilliant. Let the bubble people keep living in their bubble until the revolution is complete, comrades.

Yeah, the ace of Banana Republicanland.

I suspect Doughfoot has it right…

The Republicans always have the Blazing Saddles offence… You know, when Clevon Little rides into town and the townspeople are all against him… He puts his gun under his own chin and says “Nobody move…” Except that the Republicans are willing to shoot.

That’s like playing 4 aces and a king, but Obama IS holding those cards and he needs to play them.

“Bring abck the tax rates on the wealthy that were in effect during the 1950’s and 1960’s.”

Oh no! Not a Keynesian! Didn’t you know that Keynesian economics is the product of the antichrist!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! I mean, just because it lead to the best economy in the world and made the US the ‘golden age’ that Conservatives dream of getting back to (well that and unions), we all know that going back to serfdom is the ‘one true way’. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!

Actually, I agree. My point is that everyone seems to be saying that it’s OK if the other guy suffers, but not me.

There will always be enough blame to go around, and no one gets away without their share. The largest share, in a republic like ours, must always go to the People, who elected those folks in Washington, and in state house around the country. Blame always rests most on the people at the top. And that would be the voters. Fools will always use blame as an excuse, because any fool can blame. I don’t “need to blame” anyone. I’m not much interested in blame. I am only interested in solutions.

‘honest conservative’, now there’s an oxymoron.
