Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 07, 2012

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself- Mark Twain

It’s okay Stephan, they are both idiots.

Unfortunately, he’s just idiot out front. . ..

I love Pig’s sign…Pastis must have been a Boy Scout, he was certainly prepared!

That Sad Little Man looks pretty cool, cleverly predicting an unnamed winner months early. But Rat does know how to punch his buttons (not hard, given that Rat is his alter ego).

I’ll take four more years of gridlock over four years of What Romney offered,

I never could understand why anyone would want to run for a second term. You already have all the perks for life. Why put yourself through any more?

Po-tay-to po-tah-to.

Ah the USA.

The idiot won and the march to Marxism continues.

lol

I guess Rat hates Obama

The problem with calling everyone in government an idiot is that we still need a government, and if these are the smartest, toughest folks we have, then the rest of us are worse than idiots.

I wish Jill Stein had won. Stephan would have looked pretty silly calling her “this guy”.

Actually, I think Pastis and Rat are dead on.

yeh. 2016 is gonna be circus, if the best the gop can shove up our nose NOW, is the playoff winner against Newt and Sarah Palin. oy.

OMG!! He is RIGHT! Actually, I wish Rat would have won…

GoldenRoya is right – and everyone thought the phone calls and mailings were going to stop…

Well, it’s not the end of the world as we know it… Well, maybe it’s not…Americans have simply demonstrated that the original ideal upon which this country was founded, is no longer all that important.The original settlers to America were Christians fleeing a European Christianity where one’s relationship to G-d was defined by the Church or the State.The United States was founded upon the ideal that each individual citizen had their own personal relationship with G-d.Apparently, a majority of Americans no longer believe this…It would seem that a majority of Americans believe that Submission to the State is a higher form of worship… Hmmm…. Submission – that might be a clever name for this new religion…

4 more years of the funniest strip!

Brilliant strip!

Love Stephan’s face in the Last Panel…

It’s Priceless!

In the end, it isn’t the idiot politician, but the idiots who vote for the idiot politicians that are the real idiots, ha ha.

Ha! He thought Biden became President!!!

The US will survive the failed president, but it may not survive the mentality that elected him.

Paul, just because someone may disagree with Obama’s political plans does not mean they are rascist. For all you know Barry could be african american too!

Censored? Must be a British newspaper, page 3…(I think)

POGO for President!

Most folks will agree Congress is slogged to a halt…yet, most incumbents just got re-elected. Do people really think “good government” will magically appear?

And I had thought that Shrub getting reelected was a fluke. I can only deduce that, in each case, the fear of the alternative was overwhelming. (And, in this case, maybe well placed.)

obama phone!!!

Are we going to spend the entire comments section debating politics— and by “debate” I mean call candidates idiots without actually making any points?

…‘Cause that’s dumb.

We always say the president of the US is the most important man in the world. If that’s so, how come he/she can take three months off to run for reelection? What would happen if YOU did that at YOUR job?

VOTE RAT IN 2016!

Pastis is just upset that the candidate who would have provided the most joke fodder didn’t win.

oh rat, you are drawn in the past, but living in the present.

Well “idiot” narrows the field. Who, in their right mind, would want to be president?

Four more years of the same stupidity, instead of four years of new stupidity. Potayto – potahto.

This strip is a perfect example of why cartoonists quit drawing strips when under contract. Bloom County died because of it, and later so did Opus. It may have had some effect on Calvin and Hobbes as well, but Watterson has stated he quit because he nothing more to say with Calvin and Hobbes, so he moved on.

No, he didn’t. The real idiot won, and you know it.

Yea! MORE government FOR the people. The goverment owes you and me and, by golly, we’re going to get what we deserve. It will be better when they start issuing us matching clothing, too.

Rat is correct !!!!!!!!!!

How does he know Rat wasn’t elected?

What Romney offered was what he did with the Winter Olympics, Staples and Sports Authority. We got the idiot who blames others while the country goes down in flames. He is surrounded by idiots all self-proclaiming by celebrating. Enjoy the fall, we’re not letting you into Canada.

I cannot believe everyone missed the #1 point made in this strip…Pastis’s teeth are identical to Rat’s teeth when they are angry.…exhale. ( I have vented.)

I am fond of figs.

it is a sad day in america

What a GREAT day in America. Honor, equality, and justice were all furthered. And if any supreme court vacancies occur in the next four years Obama will name the replacement. Happy, happy day.

While I don’t think they should be allowed one term, I do like the five year term part, makes things simpler.

true that

newt gingrich for the win

Ha, if you thought HE was an idiot, you guys just wait…
