Political cartoons

Steve Benson of the Arizona Republic

Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press

Dueling op-eds continue in the Waukesha Freeman

The editorial board answers Mayor Nelson’s rebuttal from Tuesday’s paper to the dart in Saturday’s Freeman. And adds a political cartoon from publisher Bill Yorth.

Martin Luther King

I don’t often agree with Stuart Carlson’s political cartoons for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. But the one in Sunday’s paper with a quote from Martin Luther King was good.

Here is the quote,

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; one must take it because it is right.

In this time of shifting positions, holding a finger to see which way the wind is blowing, or checking to see what the latest poll says, may more of our political leaders heed Rev. King’s exhortation.

Larry Craig won’t resign

Presidential politics

First of all this cartoon from Mike Lukovich at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Captures the essence, don’t you think? Of course, one could argue the same thing about Fred Thompson, especially in regards to abortion, immigration, and religion (a tip of the conservative cap to Jay for the links). Sean also touches on these areas (this link duplicates the “immigration” link above).

I’m not wildly excited about Fred Thompson, but I think he’s a good enough conservative and a strong enough candidate. Mike Huckabee would probably be closer to my beliefs, but I don’t think he has a chance.

Great minds think alike?
