Tom Toles for February 19, 2010

Odd, but true and fun.

If the GOP gains in November (and the party out of power always does) then nothing will get done for the next three years.

I am rooting for Recovery because there really are millions of Americans out there without jobs, and they shouldn’t have to wait until 2012 (or beyond) for us to do something about it.

It’s “only” better now we ship the work overseas and what do we get in return? Minimum wage opportunities and supersized offerings.

@Graphics We get Walmart as a result. Its all part of the cons plan to drive down the cost of labor.

“He and his fellow Demoncrats all predictably lurched as far to the Left as possible.”

Yes, they dared to rise taxes… to a level lower than under every post-WWII president not named “Reagan” or “Bush”

Really, Clinton was “as far to the left” only if pre-1980 history doesn’t exist, scotty. Then again, what can I expect from a guy who spells “Democrats” with a “n”?

Good cartoon. Toles is very good at finding a simple visual analogue to sum up a situation.

This is exactly what’s wrong with both major Parties. They would rather see America in ruins than the other guy on top. Sorry, big D, but Saddam was one of our own messes that needed cleaning up. Sorry, big R, but we need those who got rich off of America to help pay the damnable bills.

Scott gets his stuff from the voices in his head. Lets hope he is not a pilot!

Scott is trying to get hired to Cheney’s history-rewriting team.

The only way the Republicans will win big in November is if they can prevent the economy from recovering…which is why they’re now known as “The Party of No”.

Meanwhile, new housing starts were up in January…they’ll have to do something to ruin that, beyond merely having Fox News fail to report it.

Compare the number of news organizations that reported the story:

…to the stories you get when entering the same key words on www.foxnews.com:

(The only link you get on Faux News is to an AP story…nothing from Faux itself).

Thats where his head is. Isn’t it?

Now that ya mentionz it…. Eureka!

kehlmeier, bradwilliams, and herbabee add nothing to the debate. Shouldn’t they be fllagged and removed?

chuckLittl and scotty: excellent points.

nemesis; what Republican trolls? They seem to be all Libs (See above).

Pup’s identities are growing by the minute.

Thank you, Finnessy: Just what I’d expect from a Lib. If you think of anything with substance, feel free to add it to the debate. Otherwise, we all know who the trolls are on this page.

Yeah puppy just what we expect from a con: name calling and lots of misinformation.
