Transcript:
Rat: Trick or treat. Man: Who are you supposed to be? Rat: A presidential candidate here to tell you all the reasons you should vote for me. Man: Ahhhhhhhh Rat: I should wear a less scary costume.
I’m not good with scary movies or shows. This is why I never watch the presidential debates, political talk shows, or anything like that. Politics = scary (to me, anyways).
Honestly, I would love it if a politician would tell me why I should vote for them. Seems like they only tell me why I shouldn’t vote for the other guy.
“I take the high road when it comes to politics. On the other hand…..that scummy blood sucking leech that is running against me reverts to the lowest form of amoebic life in pond scum all the while he texts and drives, evades taxes, ships children to China, patronizes Russian Mafia run strip clubs, witholds food and money from the orphanage he runs for profit and desecrates the flag by tearing labels off of mattresses.”.Thank you; I’m going to church now"
We need a pill for Electile Dysfunction. (“If you have an election lasting more than four hours, seek medical attention at once.”).Sure, I stole that gag. I consider that a compliment to whoever thought of it first. :)
I’ll take a rat over, over . . . . well people get p*ssed off when people make political comments so I’ll just say “I’ll take a rat over someone from a party that starts with R any day of the week.”
" Her opponent, a proven liar and a republican (giving benefit of the doubt that the latter isn’t automatically the former despite being proven by their pres/vp candidates).

“I can’t help but notice the political bent that feels it necessary to propagate their ignorance. Sure this is a politically tinged cartoon, but it is NON-PARTISAN. Sadly a few without a clue feel compelled to demonstrate their ignorance by trying to highjack the comments by being trolls. Please flag them and keep this politely political by remaining neutral.”.
When a guy tried to sell a old beat up car to politician so it made it look like he is not rich but it makes the owner tell the truth the politician said I could’t say one speech #twilight Zone

More accurate would be to tell the guy all the reasons he shouldn’t vote for Rat’s opponents.

If a political candidate (costumed or not) showed up at my front door, I too would scream and shut it in his face! But that won’t happen. Luckily.

Vonne Anton about 12 years ago
I believe politicians should be allowed one TV ad per prime time each night extolling their own virtues. And no PAC’s should be allowed to any!

Know what would be even scarier? A remake of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video with politicians instead of zombies.·Pleasant dreams.
