Too Small
Great work but you have to scan that in a little bigger. The text is a little hard to read and I am a young one with good vision.
The last panel
The last panel makes the entire cartoon.
Great job.
Keep it real
Before Rob gets a dewy-eyed about Ted Kennedy....keep in mind that this is the same guy, who while driving drunk on his way to a tryst on the beach, crashed his car and left MaryJo Kopechne to suffocate while he hid. This is the same guy who was expelled from Harvard for cheating and is a prime author of the 1965 Immigration Act which led to waves of illegals and the massive amount of crime that came with it...all in all a pretty loathsome individual...
Uh Navy Vet...
George Bush is responsible for the massacre of thousands of Iraqis and you neocons are still stuck on Ted's drunk driving accident? Jees. Are all of the neocons/republicans this year Empty Suits where they can only talk about one thing (McCain talks about his POW stories to answer most questions) and are doing that to disregard what has happened over the last 8 years under George Bush? Wow! It's amazing to me how you just don't have the courage to talk about what is real.
John McCain finished close to last in his class in the service, flew ONLY 22 hours total in Vietnam before being shot down, and then when he came home to his wife Carol and found her 5 inches shorter from the car accident she was in, decided HIS NEEDS would be better spent cheating on her with his current wife who is a bazillionaire!
Oh, but let's talk about the night Ted got drunk behind the wheel, went off the road, and was too drunk to get his passenger out of the car to save her. Most believe he should have spent some time in jail for this, but did he intentionally kill her? Nope! Did George Bush intentionally deceive the House & Senate to get an illegal war and occupation of a sovereign nation to line the pockets of the Oil Maggots of America? Yep! His very own genocide to GET THOSE OIL CONTRACTS IN IRAQ SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED!
We're paying people not to kill our soldiers over there. Our soldiers are protecting the US contractors (who are overcharging taxpaying Americans in some cases by 1000% and doing shoddy work to boot). And all the right wingers of America can focus on is a drunk driving accident by a Democrat!
*rolling eyes*
And will Sen. Susan Collins...
...ever admit or deny the following:

She's a coward, but just like most republicans across this great nation, she would rather point fingers at Sen. John Edwards and teehee hoping no one will make her do the same thing.
...and the banshee wails on

KayInMaine,
Almost everything you state is total crap and has been debated over and over again. Only a small fringe(i.e 911 "truthers") and aging hippy Laurie Dobson types believe any of it. Which one are you?
Your theories keep running into the wall of truth:
If Bush lied then so did both Clintons and the current ridiculous Dem VP candidate Biden, the French, the Russians etc etc..it's just crap, give it up
If the war was for oil then we are doing a terrible job of taking over Iraq's oil.
The same people that made excuses for Clinton's and Kennedy's infidelities (and Jackson, Edwards, etc etc) want us to get upset that after 5 years in a POW camp, John McCain wasn't the same guy he was when he went in. I'll cut him some slack over the cowards who hid behind deferments that characterize most males of the left.
The Democrat party is the party of lies and the sooner the aging baby boomers that are the heart and soul of this riduculous political party pass from the scene the better off the nation and the world will be.
