Gotta admit, I didn't see this one coming. Maybe it was the Chuck Norris commercials.

Well this is just for the Republican Caucus. Not the whole shebang.

Which is why I said "prepare".


If I was panicking it would have been "Find me the most comfy non-extradition country"

This is the problem, so many people say they will leave, but no one ever does.

Who the fuck is Huckabee? I've never heard of this guy.

As far as I'm concerned, the Republican front runners are pretty pathetic.

Although, the same can be said for their Democratic counterparts.

We're in deep shit, my fellow Americans.

As a cartoonist, I have found that the candidate that wins is always the one that is the most easy to draw insulting caricatures of.

With that in mind, I'm quite convinced that the race will be between

Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney.

Hillary has the edge as the caricatures will be much funnier.

Actually, I used to leave. For like 6 months at a time, then i'd come back and work since apparently the fuckballs expected me to still pay taxes, then 6 months later I'd hit the road again.


Huckabee gets elected, say goodbye to: Women's Rights, Gay Rights, The Constitution, Seperation of Church and State, any possibility of good relations with Islamic States. So yeah if he does get elected...See ya. Have fun in your Theocracy.

Not yet. Historically, in the US, our greatest presidents have come along unexpectedly at times of crisis, when things were really, really bad. Lincoln and FDR come to mind. Lincoln, let me remind you was anobody, a failed one or two term congressman from Illinois who failed in his attempt to win the Senate seat from Illinois. He was running, basically, as a third party candidate.

FDR was a handicapped politician who probably would have never been elected except for the severity of the Great Depression and the Hoover administration's lack of action.

I think, hope and pray there is an intelligent LEADER in that bifurcated pack of lackluster candidates.

This is a funny cartoon --and I can see that Romney would be funny to draw for 4 years.



But come on. No contest.

Obama is too handsome (though his ears are funny)

And Edwards? --Southern guy with big teeth?

That's so been done already.


Giuliani drawings would be too scary. Like Nosferatu.

and Huckabee, while he has a very funny name, isn't funny looking enough.

If Thompson is elected I think he should open every State of the Union address with the Law & Order doink doink sound:

Kendra,

I BET you could make some decent money making RL or SL caricatures of people in here. I would pay for a few, most certainly.

To everyone here I think these lyrics are appropriate for you. Mind you, I am

"Head like a hole" Nine inch nails

God money Ill do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money dont want everything he wants it all.

No you cant take it

No you cant take that away from me
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me

Head like a hole.

Black as your soul.
Id rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
Youre going to get what you deserve.

God moneys not looking for the cure.
God moneys not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money lets go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God moneys not one to choose
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me
No you cant take it
No you cant take it
No you cant take that away from me

Actually a Fuckabee surge in the Iowa caucus shouldn't surprise anyone. That process is driven by hardcore activists in both parties. Fuckabee could very well be this year's Howard Dean, just as Romney could end up being this year's John Kerry.

Funny thought.

If Duncan Hunter is the Republican nominee and picks Fred Thompson as his VP then Republicans will have bumper stickers that read :

Hunter Thompson '08.
