   Does anyone else get it? If so I would really like an explanation. I really feel stupid. Sorry

   Still don’t get it. President Bush has done an outstanding job of protecting our country from terrorism. I don’t think anyone can deny that. And that is the primary job of the President, to protect our country from enemies. So I’d say that if there is an after life he doesn’t have to worry about it. One of our country’s greatest Presidents!

   I get it and think it is some of the better humor going about. I get a lot of really nasty stuff about Hillary, Obama, Bush, et al. I am the first to delete it, not because I am a supporter of whatever opposition, but because I don’t find them funny, just mean. I hate that about our campaigns. Poitical cartoons are an art form, but cruel, mean and hateful shouldn’t be part of our election process.

   Maybe we could examine what is funny to one, is not to another.

   From twomartini’s comments, he has quite obviously been drinking too much of the kool-aid. Even staunch Republicans don’t believe that line any longer. They are simply holding on and trying to get out of this President’s final term without their entire party and the federal government collapsing. We are dangerously close to both of those already. Don’t believe it? Start listening and reading and thinking. A good start might be Colin Powell’s recent comments. Google it if you have not already read those…

   Bonnie, you are right that much of our political positioning can be cruel, including campaign ads and political cartoons. Unfortunately that is the nature of our system the way it has evolved. Many of the cartoons strike my humorous side, perhaps because they are exaggerated caricatures of the truth. And that holds true whether they are aimed at my side or the other. Sometimes the truth hurts so much that the only way we can deal with it is to laugh at it…

   I am one of the 30% in this country who are strong supporters of President Bush.

   Remember, a majority of people were AGAINST the Revolutionary War.

   Ego te absolvo.

   Remember, the civil war was the last one americans won on their own

    Actually, this is scary. Does anyone remember the “rapturists” (for want of a better term) in the Reagan years. These religious nutcakes believed that Jesus was coming soon (or Gabriel was gonna blow the horn, some such crap), and that there was no use worrying about such things as taking care of the earth (these cretins wanted oil drilling in national parks and such stuff). I’m not making this up. James Watt come to mind in particular.

    The current crop of neo-con dipsticks probably believe the same rubbish, but have learned not to say it out loud.

    As for Mr. Bush, I think he may be the worst president the country ever had.
