It’s always the libs problem until big business and big money gets caught with cheap, illegal labor to run their farms, homes and companies. Hypocrisy thy name is GOP.
Not surprisingly, you’re missing the point of the cartoon. And the implication that the divisions between these two will result in massive GOP losses after the 2014 elections. The GOP is heading right – right over a very steep cliff.
I love that the right-wingers demand “name names,” when they toss about accusations right and left (mostly left) with no proof whatsoever.Name names? Can’t specifically, but would you deny that the growers here in the southwest don’t clamor for cheap help, mostly immigrants? And it’s to their best interests that the immigrants remain “illegals,” for it takes away any bargaining rights or political power they might have. The GOP wants it both ways – they want cheap and plentiful labor, but they don’t want to let the workers have legal status. As far as closing the border is concerned, it’s mere lip service to make them look tough, but they wouldn’t deprive big businesses of cheap man-power.
“If the GOP thinks it has to cave in on its principles in order to garner more hispanic votes, then to hell with hispanics!”.“To hell with Hispanics.”The GOP has found its mantra. How’s that “To hell with Hispanics” thing workin’ out for ya, huh?
If the moderates in GOP can’t get control of the extremists running the party republicans will go the way of the Whigs. They embarrass America more every single day. Moderates – you must take back control. Just look at what they are doing to the greatest country in the world. You must stop them. For all our sakes.
The GOP establishment knows that they can’t produce enough angry white males to carry a national election. Their base is made up of angry white males, males who see their power and privilege slipping away and that’s why they are angry.
“Republicans didn’t lose the election because of Hispanic votes..“The Left is so busy pandering they’ve lost objectivity on the harm they cause to this country.”. 2 points; Yes they did, at least in part;and, that doesn’t sound even remotely racist.Excuse me, I stand corrected, that sounds very racist.
“You took Skip out of context .”.WRONG! I did not take him the least bit out of context. Rather I quoted him exactly, and if you are too blind to see that, that is your problem and no one else’s.
And now you’re talking “baby talk” (“feewings”).The right wing, quite adept at dishing it out (big time), but who resort to snotty insults, childish nicknames, and tirades ALL IN CAPS whenever they get served.Bring some facts, a little maturity and a cogent argument to the table, kiddies, and maybe you’ll earn some respect.Or keep at it as you are doing and become history’s punch line.

Oh, for heavens sake! Why don’t we just apply their salaries to meals-on-wheels and send them all home!

If Luckovich is right, how pathetic that the GOP base has evolved into teabaggers?
I figure by 2016, Alex Jones will be leading in the GOP polls.

Do you have a “right side of the bed”, or must you always wake up on the wrong side? I really hope you find some happiness soon.

Anything I might say that did not fall in line with the GOP platform would be, to you, “spouting left-wing talking points.”So yes, I am.
