its okay. i’m just kinda disappointed that mr fish makes a cheap republican joke
instead of tackling the more germane issue, which is the democrats do not want
real reform. they could push a robust public option through reconciliation now
that they dont have to worry about the filibuster, but they NEVER wanted reform.
obama just wants to enrich the insurance industry while playing the role of
“Reformer” it is disgusting.

hello. i laughed at how close the cartoon resembled the scrawny, beady-eyed Oboymamma. should have put a cigarette in his hand. Chicago style slick politics do not need any damn Republican support. this battle is only the beginning fight: to throw this bum out. i am stirring the tar, and collecting the feathers again; for the House of Misrepresentatives. they will be the first to suffer the consequences of their corrupt actions; should they cut their deals with the devil and pass this health bill. the first bill they should pass is that they read all bills.

he also believes the economic system we have been
living under accummulates wealth….

they always seem to forget we are the world’s largest
debtor nation..

Don’t take it so literally. Hey, it’s only a cartoon.

rfidler needs to remember that without the rest of us, the top 2% would have nothing to pay taxes on.

Peetawonkus:
“98% of humanity get to benefit from it.” You’re right- 2% of the population pays the taxes so you 98% can suck of the government tit. Good deal for you!

Oh, again, the boogeyman under the bed: Socialism. What pap.

You righties love Socialism. You just love it when it’s bailing out banks (twice in the last 20 years) and other “too big to fail” industries. Socializing risk while privatizing gain for mega-corporations, well, that’s just the American Way. Socialism is only a dirty word to you hypocrites when the other 98% of humanity get to benefit from it.

It’s only a cartoon, but it seriously captures the goofy mindset of the loony left, and truthdig in particular.

“Abortion illegal”- No, just not federally funded.

Where in the health care bill is homosexuality addressed? Socialists? Communists?

Mr Fish is starting to stink.

“Calling Republicans racist ignores the fact that many prominent racists in the last 40 years were democrats.”

Lie. And the ones who were came from the South.

Republicans whine about being caricatured—but their votes and behavior consistently follows a pattern of racism, homophobia, empowered women hating and immigrant bashing. Hard to caricature a political party that’s done such a good job of caricaturing itself.

Calling Republicans racist ignores the fact that many prominent racists in the last
40 years were democrats.

The caricature of republicans as homophobic racists is a classic straw man attack,
it makes the attacker look good, and fools many, but is a very big lie, and lies are
not eternal. Eventually the truth gets out.

Isn’t this site called truthdig? I merely read it to understand what the left is
publishing these days. But truth? No one publishes the truth!
