The effect of political humor on US elections

everyday i read the local newspaper and as i turn to the editorial section, i am hit with huge political cartoons degrading the president and his policies and objectives.

the effect on me in regards to the upcoming political elections is tremendous. i see the presidents opposition runs my local newspaper,

lets see, who could that be? why its Hillary Clinton from the Clinton crime family.

the effect this has on me is sobering. how can i ever vote for the opposing party to our elected president if, in this case the democratic party, is willing to stoop to the most subversive tactics known to mankind.

why would this rotten democratic party use its communist china donations to try to demean a president who has had enron and world com blow up in his face. two of the most devastating swindles in American history.

lets see what our beloved then president, bill Clinton was doing in the white house while our country was being terrorized from within by these swindlers? why he was blowing a sax. and blowing kisses to interns. and not doing what is inarguably the most serious job in the country. leading it.

these political cartoons wrongly portray our president as indecisive and below voters satisfaction. yet this president who steadfastly has dealt with some of the biggest crisis our country has witnessed. enron, worldcom, katrina, invasion of American soil, enough to break any leader. and added to this he has to deal with scheming political leftists who barrage him everyday in their communist run media. portraying him to be a simpleton. its enough to make me sick.

so as i open up the editorial page every day, and witness the communist propaganda in political cartoon form, i am cemented in resolve to vote republican. and i use the editorial section for what it was best intended, to pick up my dog feces.
