Well, Fred Thompson just dropped out of the race. That leaves very few remarkable candidates. And he was doing better than Giuliani.
Quitter.
Well, to be fair, the media had a hand in this. You, the enlightened journalists, decided to pretend the man didn’t exist, and you shall be held accountable for your part in this.
As a cartoonist I have a deep respect for the 1st and 2nd Amendments. The first guaranteeing my right to draw cartoons, the second guaranteeing my right to protect myself from anyone who might want to kill me over my cartoons.
And with regards to those who might want to kill me over a cartoon, I’m sorry, but a bit of mayhem overseas is going to be necessary to make that stop. So that leaves out Uncle Ron as well, not like he’s likely to win anything anyway.
Therefore, I cannot endorse any of the current front-running candidates for the office of President of the United States. My vote will now be reduced to who I calculate to cause the least damage, to whoever can beat the worst candidate in an election.
I cannot endorse anyone because this is what I expect:
1. Kill the terrorists. If you have to invade Iran, do it. If you have to invade Mecca, do it. If you want to choke their supply of money, find a way to end the world’s dependence on petroleum. If you can’t do that, dust off the old nuclear warhead activation codes.
2. Let Americans protect themselves from domestic threats. Terrorism is fundamentally a decentralized menace. A decentralized defense is the proper opposition to such a thing. You won’t be able to win by simply running more background checks on customers at Chemical Supply Warehouse Emporium.
3. Cut taxes already.
I want these three things, and I want to vote for a president who will deliver. Until then, suck it.
