Powwww!

Not a decent campaign pitch, Tecs, but wonderfully scurrilous cartoon.
Breitbart thugs gloating indecently, particularly with their illus.
Tecs' bogeyman slams Axelrod in the gut.

(1) So how come you strenuously objected (along with McCain) when someone dared mention Obama's middle name during the 2008 campaign (like, it's verboten, or something?), but you're happy with this (clearly over the top) cartoon?

(2) Graham plays it both sides: he can be very incisive when he wants, but he can also be a total RINO when he wants, too. Kind of like McCain, though in better shape, and more adept at punching.

1) That stuff is out of bounds just like calling Obama an affirmative action product because there are a lot of Americans that don't like that kind of talk, true or not, and the point during an election is to get moderates, not the base.

Cartoonists are not supposed or expected to be fair and when they draw stuff like this they expect/desire to be repudiated by the side they support.

The point of the political cartoon is partly to entertain but also to offend sensibilities and get the base more riled up, about like Limbaugh.

You don't think Limbaugh is hurt when the bigs say they disagree with him, do you? It's been so long that this kind of orchestration has been practiced that it isn't even orchestrated anymore. Everyone knows their roles.

2) I am not sure what Graham's game is, but I like him and kinda trust him. He won my trust when he gutted Hölder.

Funny about this situation, though. You give Graham credit for defending Scott Brown, but saying that Romneycare is anything other than an abortion is just wrong from my point of view.

The stats are already out and the bills are rising in Massachusetts faster than anywhere.

So in fact, from the purist point of view that you fault Graham for not adhering to, his backing up Scotty is as bad as paying some lip service to the AGW idiots or whatever.

If he'd been as straight-arrow as I would have liked, Graham would have said that the political climate in Massachusetts, being what it is, required local politicians to support the very popular but wrong approach that Romneycare is.

In fact, even though Obamacare seems a lot worse than Romneycare, Romneycare on its own is already demonstrably a failure and it is Romney's and Brown's failure that they couldn't convince Massachusetts voters to go a different route.

Graham couldn't crap on wonderboy and #1 in the pres polls though, of course, and instead took Axelrod's ass instead.

1) Sophistry. You still have not explained the unexplainable. Just look at the official name on wiki. On what authority would Mac presume to tell people how to call someone, especially when they are using his official name? This is one the weirdest things I've heard in my whole life. It's just absurd, no matter how you rationalize it. Just calling it "out of bounds" does not make it so.

2) I thought you agreed with Höder, no?
