The Never Ending Primary[New Cartoon]

Kelly — Sat, 24 May 2008 18:39:14 +0000

I though of this one about three weeks ago, but I didn’t draw it up, because I figured Hillary would have dropped out of the race after West Virginia primary. Then I thought she would drop out after Obama got Edward’s endorsement. Then I figured she’d drop out after the Oregon primary. After all this time, I guess the joke’s on me.

Seriously, nothing is going to unite the right behind McCain more than a Hillary nomination…

Update (I’m Not Dead Yet…)

So, yeah, it’s been quite some time since I’ve updated this thing…

I thought for sure as the Primary Season ramped up I’d get more & more motivated to draw political cartoons, but it seems the exact opposite has happened. Ever since I started updating five times-a-week over at my other site, I just haven’t had the leftover creative juices to muster much here. Plus, after 7 years of Dubya, I’m a little burned out.

However, don’t count me out. I’ll try to have a new cartoon over here in a week, or so–just don’t hold your breath…

Speaking of 7 years with Dubya…we’re still suck with him for almost another year, so why not show your displeasure with one of these bumper stickers…

…or you can get it in T-shirt form…

Seriously, how whacked-out do these guys have to be if, night after night, Ron Paul seems like the most sensible guy on the stage?!

Why Didn’t This Happen Three Years Ago?!?!!!!

According to this article in the LA Times, John Kerry is finally ready to denounce the “Swift Boat” ads & challenge their veracity. Great, the only problem is that the 2004 elections, during which this was a major issue, were held back in 2004! Seriously, what fucking good does this do us now, over three years later?! Everybody knew the ads were false back then:

When the allegations against Kerry surfaced in 2004, a Los Angeles Times review of Vietnam-era public records generally supported the view put forth by Kerry and his crew mates — that he had acted courageously and came by his Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts honestly.

(Also, on a side note, can anyone read the last sentence without craving Lucky Charms?)

Hopefully, we won’t have to wait until 2011 for the Dems to respond to the “Swift Boats” of ‘08.

EDIT: I was thinking of doing a cartoon about this, but it looks like Matt Bors beat me to the punch.

Bizarro Politics

Wow. Today in Congress, the Republicans were voting in favor of impeaching Cheney & the Democrats were the ones doing everything they could to keep the articles in commitee.

House Democrats on Tuesday beat back a Republican attempt to force them to vote on a divisive resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney for “fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction” to justify the war in Iraq.

Seriously, here’s yet another example of just how pathetic the Democrats have become. They are not an opposition party, people.

“Impeachment is not on our agenda,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.)

This basically tells Dubya & Co. that they can do anything they want & the Democrats will let them get away with it: lie, cheat, steal, you name it.

The resolution said that Cheney, “in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of vice president,” had “purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests.”

And the Democrats were voting against it. I just hope they don’t act surprised when Cheney starts bombing Iran.

Here’s the whole story.

With Democrats Like These, Who Needs Republicans?

*Sigh* At first, I was really shocked that Dianne Feinstein could even consider approving Bush’s latest AG nominee, Michael Mukasey. However, now that I think about it, it’s not terribly surprising at all given her record over the years (she’s basically a “Democrat” in name only, kinda like Lieberman before he became an “Independent”). Let’s just call this “Reason 7,932,548 I’m glad I’m a member of the Green Party.”

Buzzflash has a good piece on the whole thing, you can check it out, here.

When I wrote this one, I thought I was being super clever by coming up with this fictitious “Electability Quotient.” However, a quick Google search shows that the term has been in use for quite some time. So much for being clever.

Also, why does this keep happening?
