Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for September 23, 2022

“Incumbents”?

That’s quite a broad brushstroke.

It won’t happen that way in Georgia. Maybe if the Republicans ever decide to abandon their losing formula of nominating unqualified celebrities, alas…

I thought incumbents mostly leave due to retirement. Once in it can be very difficult to get them out

The incumbent governors in Texas and Florida definitely need that lever pulled.

I think I know why Trump likes Herschel Walker so much. They are so much alike mentally

More and more judges are allowing Qanon election deniers on the ballots….crooked judges. OHIO has the most evil GOP crooked politicians ever….they came out of the woodwork…starting with JIM “rabid” Jordan

“And so you’re back. From outer space.”

I used to believe in that philosophy. It makes sense on the surface: current government is not working, so replace the parts and maybe something better will happen.

Then I grew up and realized that some candidates would be far worse than the incumbents they were challenging.

Just as an example: Max Cleland was a senator from Georgia. He lost three limbs in Viet Nam. He was replaced by Saxby Chambliss, who ran on a platform based on the idea that Mr. Cleland was not patriotic. Compare their voting records and tell me the US benefitted from that change.

Uncle Al can’t defend his people, so he tries to generalize in order to deflect.

Very good cartoon, I missed it at first, had to look twice.

More right-wing “both sides” crap. #BothSidesDont

Vote out incumbents. Sure. With one exception:

It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.

A good many on both sides need canned.

Replacing incumbents with the flip side doesn’t help. Both parties ignore what people most want, because they’re beholden to the rich.

I’m hearing the words”TERM LIMITS”over and over…..
