Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 24, 2012

Changing your mind is a straight man’s prerogative.

He forgot to mention Health Care. Unbelievable that he is the Republican candidate!

Will Garry resurrect the waffle?

Now let’s hear about Bo’s youth.

Who’s we? Got a mouse in your pocket, buddy? The fact is that both sides will come up with anything to smear the other side, and the Democrats have a head start, because Newt and the boys smeared Mitt real good, before they gave up and decided that he was the GOP’s perfect candidate. Look for lots of nonsense between now and November, and none of it will be worth anyone’s attention.

The Obamas rioted? They burned the flag? I’m sure you have proof. Let’s see it—and repeating what somebody in the far-right loony bin said is not proof.

Gotta give Mitt some credit. He is making McCain-Palin look like a dream team. I can’t wait to see who his running mate will be. Crazy-Eyes Bachman maybe?

Maybe Mitt was born in Mexico. That was where Mormons often had their extra families living since it was illegal in the US. He even stated that he has Romney cousins in Mexico.

Or, how about Christine O’Donnell? Any takers?

You realize, of course, that this was proven to be a lie. It was written by a satirist as a spoof, and was picked up by loonies.

And knowingly publishing a lie in an attempt to harm another person is called libel – and it is immoral.

Amazing: The libs still rally behind their “Flip-Flopper-in-Chief”. Been to a gas station or grocery store lately? How is “Hope and Change” working for you?

I don’t care what they call themselves, Democrat-Republican, Liberal-Conservative, Left-Right, or Black-White. You put them together in a room and they all look and sound the same, like a bunch of smartly dressed hooligans engaged in a political turf war. What comes to my mind is Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny: NO-NO-NO!, MINE-MINE-MINE!, GO-GO-GO!!!

This is disgusting. The prez pushed a little black girl to the delight of whites. He destroyed a room with vomit and trash and laughed as the crying Mexican maids cleaned up. … Now Mitt is accused of harassing gays, not just one kid…gays. Such nonsense.

If elected, “Mutt” won’t actually run things. Like G.W. Bush, all Romney will be is a front man for the Republican power brokers who actually set the agendas. In the main, only political junkies are even aware of most of these people’s existence. And why should they not be behind the scenes? Don’t you think it’s probably more fun pulling the strings than being the puppet? If things go as planned, they get the benefits; if things go wrong the “puppet” gets the blame.

Come one guys, stop feeding the trolls…

If only Mitt’s mother had been barren!!!!

Gary has really been having to grasp when seeking bad things about Romney. Next we will be hearing that Mitt kicked a cat when he was four. Saying that he flip-flops all the while backing the “Chief Flip Flopper” takes a lot of dedication.

Mitt better watch out, the entire GoComic universe is on his case.

Wait until they find out that Biden put a mirror in his shoe laces in the fifth grade.

I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I have stopped discussing issues with 21st Century right-wingers. I can get a more rational discussion with a bag of hammers.

The astonishing fact is that Mitt is now tied with Obama and could easily win — and if he does, I will not forgive Obama. The president says he will not allow himself to be “swift-boated,” and he’s countering the smear campaign fairly well. At the same time, it looks like he’s going to go hard after Romney with ads as sharp as the swift-boat campaign, with the difference that he’s telling the truth.

Regressives don’t believe in evolution.

Once again it seems to me that the best choice is the one Richard Pryor proposed in Brewster’s Millions – None of the Above.

Burning the flag’s OK if you’re homeless, out on the street, and cold. Thinking long term, though, might be better to use it as a blanket. Doubt if Obama ever burnt a flag. He’s never been homeless, always had a blanket, and is further to the right than Dwight D.

Maybe he should go back to Mexico and enjoy Granddad’s ranch as Granddad did.

Mitt, like “Toad”, really doesn’t HAVE any principles, and THAT is the real problem.

Yet the cartoonist finds no fault with Obama’s “evolving” opinions on everything he promised in the campaign. The debt would be halved and employment would rebound. He could do a month of cartoons on Obama’s “Those that don’t tell the truth have somethng to hide”.

You do a wonderful imitation of the bag of hammers I referred to.

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie…Romney’s for…lie lie lie, lie lie lie….it’s all about money, power, status.

For his father, the value was fundamentally in building things and increasing value and wealth. for everybody. He made cars. His son has made what piddling amount he didn’t inherit from his studly poppa by ripping off companies, selling them piecemeal, seducing and selling out working people…a hateful destroyer for personal profit…a greedy, clueless semi-human with no connections among the great run of humanity, not sharing in the human experience at all.Romney will say ANYTHING to be in charge. Impressive ability to shape shift, or at least attempt to thus deceive and rule thru deception and steal value from the citizens under his rule. He did that as an arbitrageur, breaking up companies, gaining entrance by making loans too small to enable the companies to be successful, and buying cheaply, breaking them up and selling them…and dumping the workers…for his personal profit. A professional traitor. Does anybody think he’ll be any different if ever in office?

Or — as one politician put it recently “But those were only campaign promises.”
