Political Cartoons: Final Thoughts

The party's over...at last! I just wish that Hillary had done the right thing...




...instead of waiting and looking like a bad loser.

Ticket to Ride, ...Or Not.

So the final wait is over. Michigan and Florida delegates get all of their delegates and half of their votes. Doing the math, Obama is still 178 points ahead of Hillary. Even is she were to receive 100% of the delegates in Peurto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota, she still would reach Obama's total. The committee voted, the fat lady sang, and the party's over it, Hillary.

Will Obama choose her as VP? That's the only ticket Hillary has to ride in this election. She will have to earn it because of the internal and infernal division she has caused the Dems. Hillary will have to concede and let go of her Presidential dreams. She will have to settle for second best and stop sabotaging the Democrat Party. If not, then it only proves that she was in it for herself all along.

On a side note, Harold Ickes stated that votes were stolen from her yesterday, but his voice in the wilderness went unheard. After all, weren't some of his clients gangsters and mobsters who couldn't care less about democracy?

Out with the old and in with the new. The golden ticket has been won by Obama. But we already knew that before and after West Virginia and Kentucky. The question is this: are the Clintons still in the land of denial, or are they ready to go home?

Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Dem

Todays' the day that the Democrat party will cast aside the will of 48 States and uphold the votes of rule-breakers Michigan and Florida. It's all being done to appease the wrath of the whining Clintons, who can't win any way other than through cheating and pouting, raging and protesting. If, at the end of the day, the Former First Family get their way, then just call it what it is: the Clinton party, because Democrat or Democratic just won't fit anymore.

This public Hillary hissy-fit has employed racist tactics, bullying balloteers, and the usual dirty politics. Shame on the Dems, if they deny Obama the lead and the right to lead his party. He has come from obscurity, taken on, and beaten the Borgias without resorting to their poisonous play. He has constantly taken the high road, whereas the Clintonistas have embroiled the whole country in their usual gutter politics.


So today, Dear Dems, you have a choice: live up to the word 'democracy' and let the majority vote of the rule-keeping other 48 States stand, or let the Clinton lunatics take over the whole asylum.

Can a Political Machine Beat a Popular Movement?

2008 is going to be the year that party chiefs got it all wrong. Hillary is trying to finagle her way back into the Democratic nomination using Machiavellian politics. She’s trying to split the party as well as the nation using tested and tried methods of scandal, injustice, and schism which will put the Clintons way up there with the Borgias of old. She’s using the political machine against a popular movement. She’s doomed to fail.

John McCain is going to use the same tactics. He’s going to highlight his experience against Obama’s. He’s going to use the same old entitlement speeches that Hillary tried to employ. The GOP will use the swift boats of anti-patriotism accusations against Obama that have proven unsuccessful. He’s going to use the old party political machine methods against a popular movement. McCain is going to lose.

You see folks, what we have here is something that doesn’t happen very often in elections, but it has the potential of creating a tsunami against anyone who opposes it. People want change. People want their politicians to change. People want their politics to change.

I saw this happening in Britain when Tony Blair was elected Prime Minister. People wanted change so badly that they stampeded their way to the ballot boxes and the Labor Party won by a landslide. Nothing could stop the popular movement. Nothing could stand in its wake. Nothing could compete against the people being motivated.

If the Democrat party nominates Hillary Clinton as their candidate, then the Democrats will be in the wilderness for a whole generation of at least 15 – 25 years. A young, zealous generation of voters will have their hopes dashed and their dreams burned. They won’t ever forgive the Democrats for damaging their hero.

The Republicans are also facing a tidal wave. John McCain cannot even raise enough people to buy tickets for a dinner in Texas. The people in the know already believe he is a loser, and that’s just amongst the Republicans. You can’t beat a popular movement, not even if you pull out a prisoner of war as your nominee. What happened in Louisiana and Mississippi a couple of weeks ago is not a blip – it’s the first wave of a tsunami.

I could be wrong in all of this, but it feels so much like Blair’s landslide victory in Britain all those years ago. I know America is a different nation, but this is a popular movement and no matter how experienced, sophisticated, and well oiled the political machine may be, it just cannot win.

So, for what it’s worth, here’s my prediction. Obama gains the Whitehouse in ’08 and the Democrats increase their seats in the House and Senate substantially. The old notion of checks and balances no longer prevails.

Of course, this all depends on what the Democrats do about Hillary on Saturday. If they screw that one up, all bets are off.

Hillary, get out now while you can with dignity...

Tennessee GOP: Remember Andrew Jackson

The Tennessee GOP has started its Fall campaign on Obama by attacking his wife Michelle for her “proud of America” remarks. They must figure that it’s easier to attack a candidate’s spouse rather than go for the main contender. It’s discourteous and one that is reminiscent of the 1828 attacks against Andy Jackson’s wife Rachel. The Republicans were soundly defeated in that campaign, partly due to Jackson’s immense popularity and the distasteful attacks against his wife.

It remains to be seen if history will repeat itself, but throughout the nomination process, trying to beat Obama with personal attacks instead of policy arguments has all but failed. GOP Tennesseans may feel they were being patriotic in singling out Michelle Obama for their initial attack ads, but this will only increase Obama’s popularity and make Tennessean Republicans look paltry.

If McCain has any spine, he will condemn these spurious attacks and call to make political spousal abuse off limits for both parties. Politics is an ugly business, but drive-by slurs only makes the perpetrators look even uglier in the eyes of voting citizens.

Latest Hillary Cartoon: Swan Song

Hillary is on her last legs...




Shame really...she once was a great politician.

Really Desperate Whitehouse Wives

We’re heading into season finale and series cliffhanger time on television, so why not put forward a few scenarios to save a cancellation of the Clinton campaign?

#1: Just before the Super Delegates make their votes final on June 4, Bill is taken into hospital with a suspected heart attack. Hillary is at his hospital bedside, just like Rocky did for Adrienne. The Super Delegates get out the sympathy vote and she wins 75% of them. She wins the nomination and Bill miraculously recovers.

#2: Just after June 3, Obama is in the lead and begins to prepare a speech for accepting the nomination. However, an old flame suddenly appears just before the speech and everybody is stunned. Hillary comes to the rescue by saying that Obama, despite his past, is a good man. The Super Delegates drop Obama and run to Hillary. She humbly accepts the crown and asks the people to pray for her opponent and his family.

#3: Aliens land in Denver during the Convention. Obama and most of the Super Delegates are disintegrated with ray guns. Hillary comes out fighting like a modern Joan of Arc and ends up defeating the aliens with her shrill tones and laser beam eyes. What’s left of the Democrat Party nominate her as their leader for life.

#4: Obama goes down a mine shaft in West Virginia trying to impress voters. The mine collapses and no one can rescue the miners or Obama. Hillary suspends her campaign and seeks to comfort Michelle. Hillary even tries to dig Obama out of the mine and the country sees an image of her with mascara ridden tears and bloodied finger nails covered in coal dust. She wins the nomination, the Whitehouse, the Nobel Peace Prize and is asked to become President of the United Nations within four years. Only green kryptonite can hold her back.

#5: Florida and Michigan are given back their delegates and the ACLU successfully wins a lawsuit entitling Hillary to be given all the votes that were cast for her in the two States. After recounting, Hillary squeaks through a win.

#6: Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea sit at a dinner table in a New York spaghetti joint and say nothing. The screen goes blank and the credits start rolling. End of story.

Jeremiah Wright – Self-Appointed Messiah of the Black Church Community

I watched Jeremiah Wright’s performance at the National press Club yesterday and I thought: when is this schoolboy going to grow up? It was an immense ego trip for the guy who single handedly is destroying Obama’s attempt to become the first Black American president.

Wright tried to be his own Bill Cosby, but looked more like a fifth grader (sorry fifth graders) making a show and tell presentation. All he wanted to show was how conceited he is; all he wanted to tell the world that attacking him was an attack on the Black Church.

Who appointed him as the spokesperson for the Black church? Is he so big headed that he actually believes this stuff? How many African Americans does Wright know that have been given a $1.5 million dollar home by their workplaces? This ministerial maverick has been living in wealth for so long, that he has forgotten the pain in his community.

Any other pastor who caused a presidential candidate so much trouble would have taken a sabbatical and kept out of the headlines. Wright is bent on wrecking Obama and veils his hypocrisy in, you’ve guessed it, biblical quotations.

And as for his unpatriotic, vitriolic You-tubed sermon comments about America, he totally “nullified” the issue by saying if you haven’t heard the rest of the sermon, then sound byte viewers don’t know what they are talking about.

Perception in politics is reality, ministerial man. If you don’t understand that one, then you don’t know what the rest of America is talking about.

Bring it home, preacher man, and give Obama a fighting chance. Don’t become a millstone around his neck. This is the first time that the African American community has a real opportunity of having a Black President. Take your controversial circus act out of town until the 6th of November. Otherwise, in years to come, the name Jeremiah Wright may become synonymous with Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot in both the African American community and the field of politics.

And, as for one of the biblical quotations that you paraphrased to suit yourself the other day, here’s what it actually says:
Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.

Perhaps you should reflect upon the verses that directly follow it:
Proverbs 18:1, 2
1 An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends; he defies all sound judgment.
2 A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

After the election is over, the name Jeremiah Wright may become synonymous with that of Benedict Arnold, Quisling, and Judas Iscariot
