How's that for fast response? four seconds! I actually favoured this before it appeared in my watch file. I saw it on the browse page first, by some fluke.

That is lightening speed! XD

I certainly love the cartoon -- I would pay to have it stenciled on the forehead of every registered Repulican. Actually tatooed on the foreheads of those who make more than $500,000 a year.

I would love to see that happen too. And not just because I would conceivably get paid for it! XD

We could save money by doing it ourselves. It's be pleasure listening to them howl.

I agree with this sentiment and wish to help by donating ink and needles to the cause... it doesn't matter if they're rusty right?

The rustier the better. Preferably from being dipped in tea.

Sweet, sweet music C:

Bah, the Republicans and Democrats play for the same team. I like your line of thinking there, but I suggest we tag them all just to be safe. If they complain too loudly, we'll justify it by telling them we're doing it for the children.

Just happened to spot this on the front page, by the way. This is just superb, and if I could rate it, I'd give it five stars without hesitation.

By and large you're right. I feel the Demos have a bit more of a conscience, or at least a sense of noblisse oblige. But bankers and speculators belong to neither party. I think they bud off of demons who are too skanky to even stay in Hell.

Well, the best way to describe the difference between the dem and repub parties is that the dems are a group of INDIVIDUALS, some bad, some good, and none bound by a solid ideology (which also means they break apart more often than coming together, sadly). Republicans on the other hand are like a hive-mind in which every member is dead set on the same goals and ideology. The old, "If you aren't one of us, screw you!" mentality.

But anyway this is getting too complicated for a picture of a green cartoon cat and mouse so...

Republicans want your soul, Democrats want your money.

This is the only difference.

Which would you rather fork over to an armed assailant?

If I could fool the moron into thinking I was giving them my soul, I'd give 'em that.

:P

Of course. Sorry... wasn't thinking. I forgot you didn't have a soul, bwa ha ha haaaa!

Scientifically speaking, neither do you. :P

Heavens no... sold it in 1977.

Good call.

It's easy to do during times like these, but that's too much generalization. Back during the Clinton years the dems were just as interested in deregulating the financial system (AND getting their hands in your pockets) as the repubs, and they have to answer to that as well. But I think a few too many of the modern dems (that have gotten their seats SINCE then) get branded that way when it isn't necessarily true. I'd say about 1/3 of them are actually, truthfully trying to fight for the lil guy, another third are currently only acting "good" because they fear losing their seats, and the last third are the usual amoral dickwads.

TL;DR.

I don't actually give a shit about politics anymore, so my previous remark works just fine for me.

Although I approved of Clinton during his years in the White House - it would be hard not to throughout the witch hunt to have him impeached for jerking off in the bathroom, if that's what it took - as time goes by he looks less impressive to me. He was a Democrat technically, but most of this platform was moderate Republican at best.

This is awesome :)

this needs to be a poster or print

I agree with the sentiments of the above posters.

Keynes would be proud of you.

How dare you make that could be construed as political ... and be so awesome.

Man you should do comics for the newspaper

Way to go Agouti!!! Bravo!

This image sums up the mindset of every conservative I know.

This pic reminds me more of Hinduism rather than politics.
What with their whole reincarnation angle and all.

Totally, that's the idea in a nutshell. Well done!

Smith would have interesting feelings about this.

BOOTSTRAPS!

Slap free-market economists in the face with this comic.

Then run Planned/Wealth or Green/Wealth and see which one gets you more energy.

Screw that extra energy, if I have to spend precious minerals to fend of large waves of PSI-worms and then also have to pacify those crowds who are upset about my exploration parties in foreign territory ;P

The energy/turn and turns/tech display in the SE panel when you contemplate switching to Free Market is sooooo deceptive... because it doesn't show you all the bases that will have drone riots the very next turn if you don't take drastic Specialist measures, which may result in MUCH less energy taken in, not to mention possible starvation.

In all my games, I've actually never taken a turn switched to Free Market; I've only ever switched, looked at the Base panel to see the array of drones that'd result, clicked through to a few bases to view the reasons, and quietly switched back before the end of the turn to get a refund. (But not before contacting Morgan and shmoozing him up--I WAS playing the Peacekeepers, after all. )

But if you convince them some people are born such that they can't succeed in the system others thrive in they'll just fall back on social Darwinism! Do you really want to trade Ayn Rand for Spencer?

Reminds what Yzma told a starving supplicant in The Emperor's New Groove: 'You should've thought of that before you became a peasant.'

That's pretty much my boss right there yup!

This is what republicans actually believe.

Man, there's not a lot that can be solved by partisanship... but this is still pretty funny. I'm surprised that there aren't any angry comments from conservatives on this!

NOTE TO SELF: ATTEMPT TO FIND REPUBLICAN FURRIES.

Gahahahaha, YES. This is excellent.

Where's cigarskunk when you need him? xD

Say his name three times and he'll appear

Now if only you could get high resolution poster prints of this, as I would like one of them.

Hell yes. Remember, kick your local Tea Party member in the ass today!
