Political Cartoons: 2009

Ending bad and starting strong?



Only time will tell....

Political Cartoons: Relative Truths

Does Obama think that we were all born yesterday???



...and as for ACORN...

Political Art: Voting - It's a Freedom Thing!

Get out and vote, if you love freedom...

Political Cartoons: Double Standards

The media complain about the price of Palin's wardrobe, ...



...but are silent about Obama buying the election...hypocrites!

Political Cartoons: Bail Out Bilge

The bail out bill passes and we're still in a crisis.



Job well done, Bushie!

Political Cartoons: Nothing Changes

Obama promises a new way of doing politics...



...but then his people start an old fashioned smear campaign against Sarah Palin.


Nothing changes...same old broken promises; same old dirty politics

Stushie Toons: Separation Anxiety

Texas must be looking really sweet for Bushie right now...



As Bugs would say, "What a maroon!"

Political cartoons: Strange, But True

Is this just coincidental or not???



If not, then can America afford four years of Obama?

Political Cartoons: It Could Happen...

Tina Fey is terrific on SNL that America might just vote Palin into office for four hilarious years of parodies on SNL.




In this crazy election year, it could happen!

Political Cartoons: Fiddling with Finances

When will Nancy Pelosi learn to keep quiet until AFTER the vote has taken place ???




This is no time for partisanship...on both sides!

Does McCain have Alzheimers???

It's the question that no one is asking, but perhaps we should.

I've watched John McCain do several on the spot interviews and during last night's debate, I wondered if he is suffering from an early onset of Alzheimer's. I'm a Republican voter, so this is beginning to concern me.

If you watched the debate last night, then you'll know that he told the Miss Congeniality joke about himself twice. Last month during an interview, he mentioned the same details twice within five minutes. During a speech on the stump, he referred to Putin as being the president of Germany. That might not mean anything to average voter, but it rang some alarm bells for me. McCain also stressed the same points over and over gain last night, like a broken record - was he emphasizing what he would do, or was he unknowingly repeating himself?

So the question that we're all avoiding and need to watch during the remaining debates is this: is Alzheimer's affecting McCain and if so, can we afford to to have a President in office who suffers from it? Forget about heart attacks or cancer: Alzheimer's could cause a lot of erratic decisions that will seriously affect all of us.

Maybe it's nothing at all, but perhaps an independent doctor needs to assess McCain before we vote him into the Whitehouse.

Political Cartoons: Absent or Present?

Will he stay or will he go???



It's a Big Night for both Presidential players....

Pitbulls & Hockey Moms

Sarah Palin: What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick.

John McCain: Dear friends, let's work to heal the differences between hockey moms and pitbulls. I will reach across both groups in a bi-partisan effort to put our country first. My friends, there should be enough lipstick in this great country of ours, so that both hockey moms and pitbulls can make America great again.

Barack Obama: There is no hockey mom nation. There is no pitbull nation. We are all lipstick wearing Americans who share a hope for the future, so that all our children and puppies can make this world a better place. Lipstick is not for the elite or something that fearful people in small towns get out when the going is tough. Lipstick is what has made our country great and something that we can take out into the world to bring about peace between all hockey moms and pitbulls.

Joe Biden: What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Hillary Clinton would make a better choice.

Local Pastor's Political Cartoons to be showcased on CNN

Local Presbyterian pastor, John Stuart, is to have some of his political cartoons showcased on CNN International this weekend. He's been drawing and blogging them since June 2007.

His 200+ cartoons reflect most of the political campaigning that has gone one for almost eighteen months. As he states on his blog, Pushing the Envelope, this is his way of "offering payback for the American people on all those slick politicians who put us through a never-ending Presidential campaign."

John's cartoons are frequently seen on the Knox News-Sentinel bloggers page, as well as being posted in other blogs around the world. He uses his cartoons to highlight the gaffes and inconsistencies of both the Republican and Democrat campaigns.

In the interview, John states that "satire is one of the best methods that people have to remind our politicians that we choose them as our leaders, and not the other way around."

John signs his cartoons as 'Stushie', which is a Scottish nickname for Stuart, but it is also a Scottish word that means 'causing a ruckus.' Pastor Stuart hopes that his cartoons inject some humor into the current political election.

The cartoons will be broadcast at the following times:

SATURDAY 7:30A EASTERN
SUNDAY 2P EASTERN
MONDAY 9A EASTERN
MONDAY 1:30P EASTERN

John Stuart is also a regular guest on the daily political talk show, "The Voice," which is broadcast by WQBB 1040AM.
