R. R. said it best. There they go again.

If you believe that words speak louder than actions, then you are a Democrat.

If the best satire you can do consists of a repetition of tired stereotypes and recycled talking points, you must be a Democrat.

If you believe that Osama is a freedom fighter against the imperial USA, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that Jews are to blame for Palestinian terror attacks, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that the solution to education is just to throw more money at it without any accountability, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that the best way to protect the environment is to stop road construction and eliminate affordable housing, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that marriage should be allowed for gays, polygamists, pedaphiles, etc., then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that tax cuts take money away from the government, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that government should tax and spend its way out of a recession, then you are a Democrat.

If you believe that America's war on terror should wait for the UN, then you are John Kerry.

If you are John Kerry, you will lose in November.

If you were once a respected and clever cartoonist who has been driven to becoming a partisan hack by Bush's success, then you are David Horsey.

Those liberals sure are going crazy. Their hatred of Bush is so intense that all reason is gone.

At least Schwarzenegger can get a giggle. The Davis re-election campaign was a very sick joke, and he couldn't buy a giggle, even with the help of both Clintons.

Note especially the panel about Thai food vs the salad bar. It's increasingly clear that modern liberalism has nothing to do with any coherent set of ideas, but rather is a set of status markers for a self-defined social class. Eating Thai food here plays the same role that driving a Cadillac allegedly played during the 1950s...

Wonderful posts guys.

I like Phad Thai. I've even eaten it in Thailand. I don't use words like "rapture, end times and scipture" in conversation. I haven't sent a single job to India, ever. So why am I a Republican? Better ask Horsey.

Naaaah, don't bother. Give him a noogie and a wedgie instead. Shove him into a locker. And throw his shoes on top of the gym.

It's actually OK as political satire (moderately amusing, not hysterical), although the politics is pretty snobbish.

Hoho. I believe global warming is a myth, and that the WMDs... WERE real... (I'm sure UNMOVIC will back me up on this) Yet for some reason I am not a Republican... Hmmmm...

If you can pinch butts and harrass babes and then call out anti-gay remarks about girlie-men, then you are Arnold, the hypocrxite and homophobe. The gay Republicans are now organizing a boycott of Bush! payback.

Do you ever wonder why people don't take you seriously, freddie?

No?

Pity.

I confess, I do not giggle when saying Governor Schwarzengger. But then I live in California where his political popularity has been earned. We giggle at those who refuse to update their perceptions in the light of current events. They live in a cartoon world.
