ldollies was the first to mention Reagan. With the buildup in the first two panels, I had thought the resulting figure would be a renewed Reagan rather than the Hydra-beast-with-no-soul. But hey, six of one, a half-dozen of the other.

I've always admired the way Tom Tomorrow is able to boil his observations down to a pure essence. He aims his distillibilator at his hapless subjects and reduces them to their basic cosmic goo.

The reason they can't stick together is that the money guys and the hawks never gave a rat's ass about the social conservatives and their Bibles. The social conservatives were never more to them than an amazingly convenient army of working, voting zealots, ready to sabotage their own economic interests in order to take swipes at gays, women, foreigners and infidels. The hawks and the money guys are natural allies, since there's big $$ to be made in the war business. Except that McCain is NOT paying proper homage to the wealthy speculators, creating even more Republican heartburn by implying that he might want them to spend some of ther profits on taking care of soldiers and veterans, peeling off military support for the more profit-minded Romney. Now that the truth's coming out, the bogus "Reagan Coalition" can be seen for the marriage of convenience it always was.

to quote Homer (Simpson, that is) "it's funny because it's true."

The witty Tom Tomorrow has once again presented a DAZZLING PANOPLY of mirth and merriment in his vitriol-etched depiction of the HYDRA-headed, three-faced( I have used THIS description to refer to ALL of the three candidates in previous posts) MONSTROSITY that is the "perfect" republican candidate, and its creator, the SWELL(headed)little creep of a mad doctor that is a Rovian dream, a cross between Simon Bar Sinister(tm) from UNDERDOG(tm) and Dr. Pretorius(tm) from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN(tm) with hairstyle courtesy of DILBERT(tm)'s megalomaniacal boss! That funny line about "McCain and Romney are gnawing at each other's faces!" Rings both HILARIOUS and TRUE AS HELL, and this triple-headed HYDRA-like H.P. Lovecraftian THING ON THE [American Voter's]DOORSTEP can be seen waving its putrefying arms about and groaning its psychobabble prattle that sounds like the guttural death-rattles from a mashed polecat! McCain, Romney and Huckabee are as RELEVANT to our troubled times and as APPEALING as a barrel of DESICCATED MUMMIES!!!!!

Twas Guiliani! Think about it:

-- foreign policy hawk

-- pro-corporate all the way

-- fundy friendly: Pat Roberton endorsed him!

Golly, it was truly a shame that in addition to these three crucial GOP aspects, he had one more bonus aspect: Master of Douchebaggery.

:-D

In person, Tom must be a real fun guy to talk to.

His retro-drawing style enhances his humor so much.

The political points he makes are just icing on the cake, since he's almost always preaching to the choir in my case.

This is the first time I've read someone describe the Republithug lie and hate machine as a coalition of 3 parts.

I tend to think of it as two, and the war hawks as a part of the traditional conservatives, but now that I think of it - the isolationist strain of conservatism that is visible in Ron Paul used to be a defining element of traditional conservatives, so he is right, even if it's not framed that way anymore.

"The most important thing to do NEXT is to make sure our Democratic President knows what the fuck we EXPECT from him/her..."

Um...wasn't that what the last midterm elections were about? Gee, let's see how well the Democrats responded...er...um...koff! koff!

Oh well.

Americans may have voted stupidly in the past, but that's the usual result of a SUCCESSFUL fantasy-based PR promotional campaign. I'm afraid that Katrina, Iraq and the economy have finally caused enough Americans to become inured to that approach. No way in hell is a Republican going to win the Presidency this year.

Don't be so afraid, Saverino! The most important thing to do NEXT is to make sure our Democratic President knows what the fuck we EXPECT from him/her...

Ah gah-ron-TEE it.

Silly. Reality-based. And HILARIOUS!

Thanks, Tom!

They made one, and two of the heads already ate the cute one.

Oh, Garry Owen! Please stop! I'm old and fragile! And you've made me laugh so hard that it's caused Mrs. Saverino more than a little concern this morning and she's threatening to cut off my coffee intake.

What is truly terrifying is the possibility they could win, no matter how remote.

Don't run 'round like a hop-hop-flop frog, or toad with the head lopped off.

Practice smiling by rolling down a hill like Capital Hill.

If some GOP slayer chops the 3-headed "toad's" head off, o why?

But, then the sticky glue-smile-face is a permanent heh-Smile?

If GOP toads decide to twirl swords ~ practice a shadow-smile?

If any Knuckle-heads rolls down from Capital Hill. See a smile!

`

Sing: see a smile on a rolling gop's head rolling down a hill?

Let's all suggest the politico's use old fashion fish or toad goop glue.

Who ever believed GOP'S choice to rule, and blow up the White House outhouse would be THIS:

The Three Headed Mr. GOP-TOAD.

I didn't write a Mr. TU*D-GOP.

Dr, Wilbur Von Puberty peanut?

Republicans don't believe in science.

running a woman or black as the dem candidate is that any dem will beat any repub.

but a nation that elected nixon, and dubya, twice has vast reserves of malignant idiocy.

when jmac steps to the podium and announces that conscription will be necessary for the next surge, will you still be glad you're so progressive?

minus the goofy hairdo looks a lot like Robert Novak. Coincidence? Or is it something in Tom Tomorrow's view of the Prince of Darkness?

As far as the three heads of contemporary Republicans go, imagine their necks getting tangled with each other when trying to respond to issues like the right to die (e.g. Terri Schiavo) or immigration or church v. state.

The interesting thing to watch will be McCain's metamorphosis as the general election approaches. Let's work to keep the light of scrutiny on him. (Anybody got the "bomb bomb Iran" video ready?)
