Today's Tim Toles Cartoon

Comments

God bless Toles. O needs to find a way to rise above it, ignore Hillary, and start running again. His supporters need to bury the hatchet and figure out ways instead to reach out to more voters to forge ties across class, race, gender, ideological lines. The country is begging for change and semantics ain't gonna get us there.

Who are the voters going to pick - the fast misrepresenting double team of Hill and Bill or slow steady and honest Johnnie McC. The Clintonistas are making it difficult for many Democrats to support them. It's the game AND the victory that counts.

This is the stupidest cartoon. The primary election is not = the general election. McCain himself will be forced to stand at those podiums, several times, before the general election.

lampwick is right.

Also, it feeds into the myth of his media fluffers that their man, the Great War Hero who suffered while all of them ducked Vienam and feel guilty about it - is particularly honest or steady.

McCains record is of a man passed over for Admiral on matters of temperment and judgement. And of attacking other Republicans and questioning their motives in harsh Leftist language, when he is not out rushing for the cameras to take credit for the work of others or to "give cover" for Democrats to attack Republican nominees or Admin figures.

Like John Kerry, a 30-year Inside the Beltway denizen, made unfit by the lifestyle he loves to ever be a true change agent

His Senate peers either like him (mainly his Democrat peers) or loathe him based on McCains treachery, erratic and vindictive behavior, or saying one thing in public and doing something entirely different behind closed and private Senate clubhouse doors.

Not that the Press actually loves the guy beyond their POW and Victimhood worship. The main reason they donned their kneepads and started fluffing him last spring was only to hand another trussed up old warhorse like Bob Dole up for the Clintons to carve up.
