@Lin Collingwood“the richest people in the world are libs”?Typical Conserva-twit falsehood. Let’s go down the list…
1- Bill Gates. He supported George W. in 2000. Socially liberal but economically conservative, you probably deride people like him as RINOs, while I’d admire them as “Eisenhower Republicans”. Centrist, not Liberal.2- Carlos Slim Helu. A private businessman thriving in Mexico’s deregulated economy. Critics complain that he owns half the country. The Conservative wet dream. Not a lib.3- Amancio Ortega. Reclusive Spaniard, so who knows?4 & 5- Warren Buffet and Larry Ellison. Yep, Libs.6 & 7- The Koch Brothers. Conservative wackos who want to become American version of Carlos Slim Helu.8- Li Ka-shing. Hong Kong tycoon. Impossible to say which side he’d fall under.9- Lilliane Bettencourt. French heiress who (illegally?) supported Sarkozy’s centrist government. I’d put her in the middle like Bill Gates.10- Bernard Arnault. Threatened to move to Belgium if higher taxes were enacted. Sounds like a Texas Conservative to me.
FWIW, this is the only newspaper comic I still read that goes political on a semiregular basis. I dropped all the others, on both sides of the spectrum. The Weingartens should be proud.

Politics went up from the comments to the comic itself. What can we expect now?

Score: Outright Libs- 2, Centrist- 2, Conservative- 4, Who knows- 2.
Stop twisting facts (or outright lying) to promote your revisionist mythology.
