Toles Toon Nails the midterms
Edited on Tue Sep-07-10 06:36 AM by n2doc

Mood ring

I guess this is the mood of the electorate this year, as far as I can tell.

-We are fine with the trend of an ever-greater share of the American economy going to the very richest people. We like a tax policy that encourages this trend. We don't feel that power follows wealth and so do not fear any negative consequences from this.

-We oppose any actually workable plans to rationalize the health care system in this country and feel that the long trends of ever-increasing costs for ever-shrinking coverage will fix themselves.

-We prefer more religion in government and schools and less science, and we feel this will lead to good outcomes.

-An opinion that climate science is wrong will make it be wrong.

-Deficits didn't matter before, but now they are all we can think about.

-We blame President Obama for the bad economy, but anything he does about it can only make things worse and make us blame him even more.

-We like Republicans even less than Democrats but plan to elect them in a landslide, and that this will improve things.

Did I miss anything? --Tom Toles

1. I believe the voter will return to sanity...and
vote Democratic.
The pervailing winds change quickly. Don't count on today's winds for tomorrows rain.

2.  The GOP need a return to sanity - and the voters need to be their shrink. n/t
