At least you hear the barking, Matt.

Not couched in acceptable PC newspeak, (or typed in Twittersqueek) it nevertheless gives incohate voice to a vast under-served majority of good citizens’ desires.

Call it a a teabaggerdog.

More like David Berkowitz, the lunatic, “Son of Sam” killer, who also heard dogs talking.

Classic, typical leftist projection.
Obama ran as a moderate on a vague campaign of hope and change. He is the one who thought his election was a mandate for a far-left radical agenda, attempting to expand government power to a takeover of the private sector.
The elections the other day show a specific reaction to his attempts to push his Big Government agenda.
I guess the people didn’t want a “fundamental change” to this country.

Obama wasn’t up for re-election, so it’s rather presumptuous to assume people don’t want change (or dislike how he’s going about things) based on a couple of electoral races. His poll numbers are still strong and he hardly has the negative perceptions on his administration for what the previous one experienced. Next year’s midterm election will be more descriptive, as it’s a much broader one on a national level (not just a couple of governor races up for grabs like this past one).

And please stop pretending the majority of Americans are conservative. That they’re moderate, I’ll give you. You lost the last election, don’t pretend that Obama didn’t get the majority of votes.

It’s not just a river in Egypt, is it…
I guess you haven’t looked at his tanking approval ratings lately.
Believe me, I look forward to the 2010 elections.

There must be something up river in the Hudson that makes you folks so stunningly toxic. Just be glad you have Mr. Davies’ ink work in your paper; iffin’ you saw MY smut you’d be getting your tar melted and feathers plucked. Now, to comment on Mr. Davies’ cartoon directly: Brilliant, as usual. Sounds just like the “mandate” Obama’s idiotic predecessor claimed the eight miserable years his corrupt Vice ran our country into the ground…

you still don’t get it.

Lets face it we are all idiots for electing millionaires.

Being a millionaire is not the problem,
1. HOW THEY BECAME MILLIONAIRES IS.
2. Acting like we owe them a high on the hog life style.

Marina Dog, could you please learn to spell, use proper grammar and punctuation, and perhaps crack open an encyclopedia before you join the rest of Mr. Davies’ rightwing bloviators in calling him (and us other proud Americans and possibly even DemoCRATS) a Godless Socialist Fascist blah blah blah? It’d be refreshing. By the way, I’ll stop calling your party the “Repugnant Party” just as soon as you drop the equally childish “Demorat” and “Democrat Party” insipidness. Deal?

John B.
as a right wing bloviator I’ll grant you one thing: calling Matt, or the President or any liberal “fascist” is simply wrong. Fascists are nationalist, no one can ever accuse a liberal of believing in nationalism.

Wow!... observe all the social-media positioning among uninformed and non-influential nobodies, based on party affiliation, and obsolete (2008) election shadenfreude!

I guarantee that nationally, things will get worse by way of the current single party choke hold. The one and only result of the f*ckup, will be the election of some other-party people. It happens every time, & It cannot go any other way.

Read the polls:

http://tinyurl.com/GGALLUPPPP

the overwhelming trend is toward conservatism, and not merely among Republicans. The number of Independents calling themselves conservative was increasing to 33%, up from 26% in 2005. The number of Democrats calling themselves conservative was up to 8%. In this poll 37% described themselves as politically conservative; almost double the number identifying as liberal (19%). The values of these respondents demonstrated an increasing trend away from big government as the solution and towards local and community based approaches.

http://tinyurl.com/GGALLUPP

showed Conservatives were the single largest ideological group (40%) and more recently on October 26, when Gallup showed that Conservatives maintain a two to one advantage over liberals (40%-20%). Conservatism wasn’t grounded in any one party or candidate. It was election neutral. In fact it was the only tri-partisan issue or philosophy overwhelming numbers of Americans seemed to agree on. The state of conservative popularity is strong.

Have a great weekend—-And don’t wear yourselves out writing 5 word snarky “rebuttals”.

The most significant dog this past election day was the UNDERdog Bill Owens, the first Democrat to get elected to congress from the 23rd District since before the Civil War! This was due to the support of loudmouth right-wingers like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity for a Conservative Party candidate who doesn’t even live in the District! Keep up the good work!

If you’re going to use tinyurl (or similar services) can you at least tell us what domain those go to? It helps for us folks working so we don’t go to a banned site (which doesn’t mean it’s “bad”; as an example, I can’t visit youtube).

I definitely agree that power ebbs and wanes from one party to another and from one “movement” to another. The problems stem mostly from people having a complete lack of interest in learning of the other side combined with butchering what those views actually entail. Throw in some unhealthy labeling, and it’s a complete mess.

What exactly is “conservative” or “liberal”? Are you fiscally conservative if you spend trillions of money on the military industrial complex? Are you liberal if you work to cut down the deficit and national debt? The world is mostly gray; way too much is made out to be black and white than is healthy for a rational discussion.

The result? Both “sides” take any thing they can (say, a minor election cycle) and use it to their own ends (typically denouncing the other side or “motivating their base”).

Woot! I brought it back to the cartoon!

All my referral sites are clean upstanding news/comment sites (No XXX)

You are fiscally conservative if you spend trillions on a military which will hold Chinese hegemony at bay, so that the dollar isn’t devalued, yes….conservative indeed.

I know of NO liberal so far in history, who has worked to cut the national debt.

America is center-right, and always will be.

Matt’s dog is an embodiment of what America’s true feelings seem like to him….. animal noises.
