Say what you will, but if it comes down to Obama or any currently running (or expected to run) GOP candidate, I will vote for Obama. That said, I would certainly vote for a good third party candidate over either. But I will NOT consciously and deliberately put this country more in the hands of the Tea Party and their ilk than it already is.
Peace.

Maybe when he got in, they asked him if he wanted to be the next JFK; and he got in line. Or maybe he’s just another amoral pathological liar like everyone else within the government.
Funny how the infinitely “comical” human race gets so bent out of shape by (sexual) “immorality”, but could care less about amorality.

I love the masochism parading as cynicism from the posters who say “oh well all politicians lie”.
This cartoon reminds me of Blazing Saddles’ “drop your guns or I shoot the nigger” scene.

Did Fish get his chops imitating death metal album art?
I knew some meth freaks that were very good at this kind of art.
This particular piece of non-art is reminiscent of Tea Party placards, but much starker.
Fish’s last two offerings have been a fetid donkey corpse and a skeletal face.
The nihilism is so thick here on truthdig that it would stop a truck.
There was a time when drug induced hallucinatory art was more pleasant, interesting and intricate.
Ever been in a fish market? Fish stink[s].

Anyone that thinking one man could solve our problems was fool. The people in this country or the problem. We don’t think!

As you know, there is “approve” and there is “hold your nose and vote”. Until we

There are still Obama “deadenders” out there ready to give him a second chance
Report thisbut perhaps not enough to guarantee him a second term. He is more monstrous
than our most cynical appraisal of him suggests. Blame that on mommy- a

The only people who still support him, ponder the state of the country, after it is turned over to that other political party - the one that ran it into the toilet in the last decade!

Something that often goes unsaid must be pointed out here: The promises made by any freshman Presidential candidate on the campaign trail will be completely stomped on when he takes the office for the first time. He will then discover that those supposed Presidential powers he was looking forward to wielding in order to complete those promises he made have already been amalgamated, reduced, blocked, and generally otherwise compromised right up to the hilt by his predecessors. It’s been this way for a long time, and those who are running for reelection know better than to make any promises they can’t fulfill. Obama is just guilty of not knowing all those secrets that are privy only to a sitting President. He found out the truth about how much he could not change the day after he was sworn in. You can bet his opponent won’t tell him beforehand. There lies the rub!

Brilliant! This is a succinct commentary on today’s politics.
It’s sad that Truthdig allows this kind of brilliance but blacklists/censors BDS commentary.
If you folks stop censoring BDS, I will start recommending and forwarding some of your posts.
