Angel: Punishing them with plagues or floods was too messy, so now He just tells a few of the nuttiest ones to run for president. Voices: EEEK! ARRGGHHHH! NO!!
This has been working for the Republicans for decades. Examples, Reagan, Quayle, Cheney, Dubya (W) and this year’s candidates including “Mitt the Ripper”. (referencing a Stephen Colbert mock political ad)
No, Sonny1 was right, Obama won the last election. Where have you been that you think Cheney/shrub were still in office?The primary process is all about getting rid of those who might actually change things and an attempt to give an appearance of legitimacy to the candidate the party was going to put up in the first place.
Unlike a global flood, at least this particular plague afflicts just one country. Although the whole world suffers to some extent from their madness… (I wish we could have a War of Independence, in which the Rest of the World wins its freedom from American Imperialism!)
The Republican candidates do look like a bunch of folks on sabbatical from Ringling Brothers, but don’t forget that the present power-that-be is channeling PT Barnum.
The frightening thing is :When a clown like Palin runs for office , fewer Republicans vote. When a clown like Obama runs for office, record numbers of Democrats vote. Apparently Democrats provide the most divine comic relief.
I really think that most folks have missed the point of this strip, it really isn’t political at all.Wiley is refering to the people who have publicly stated, that God told them to run.
You list all of these evils of Bush 2, and yet, Obama did NOTHING to end them. In fact, he’s embraced all of the constitution-trampling. How can you CONTINUE to blame Bush for the evil if the hot potatoes are in Obama’s hands? Speaking of the constitution, Obama’s DISDAIN for the constitution is palpable, as he described it as a document of “negative rights.” Oh, and you claim that Obama had only half of the congress, but he had BOTH OF THEM for two solid years. Your memory is pathetic.
I suppose divine retribution is as good an explanation as any for the current Republican field. At least watching Big O enjoy the traditional second term meltdown should be mildly entertaining.
This god person kills, or allows to be killed, good people all the time. Innocent babies die every minute. Not to mention genocide by flood. It’s a special way to show one’s love, you know. By comparison, GOP candidates are just a good laugh.
After reading the childish remarks above, I am reminded of the over 40 different countries I have been in and how they really are. So, all you democrat/socialist/communists can just move right over to any one of them. I would like the elbow room.
Where, in my reply, did you get the idea that I think Bush, Cheney are all that and a bag of chips?Obama has one third of the gov’ against him. Bush had two thirds – if the one third is keeping Obama from doing anything, how did Bush get his evil agenda through with two thirds against him?Plus, Obama is a democrat. One side of a coin of which the other is republican…
