“Cartoons are a powerful weapon in political campaigns”
that’s correct Matt. Now you know how much i love your
cartoons but since the above statement is right on the
money i think you should start to bash the left as much as
you bash the right. At least during the election. Yes or no?
Matt Davies September 10th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Thanks Bulldog. Y’know, I kind of agree, but I don’t really bash anybody. What I do is call out what I think is dishonest and cynical BS, which the right has a monopoly on. For now. Though looking back over the past few weeks, I picked on Obama when he pandered to the “open-the-strategic-petroleum-reserve-crowd.”

In case you can’t tell…I’m astonished by the McCain campaign’s hubris and dishonesty.

I agree my good man but i’m sure there is dishonesty in
the Obama campaign also and it’s time for you to expose it.
