You could be charitable and say that it means he was raised by his white mother and white grandparents and attended historically white educational institutions.

Or you can be uncharitable and say that it means he wasn't raised in a ghetto, was never in a gang, and never went to prison.

It really depends on how racist you think the person saying it is and to what degree they automatically associate blackness with the worst aspects of black life in the United States.

I recall a a few stories where Republican men cheated on their wives, and when the wives stayed, they were praised for sticking to their marriage and working things out wih him like good Christian women or some nonsense like that.

But if Hilary stayed, it means she approved of Bills behavior and she's just as scummy as he is. Pretty sure there was a cartoon or two specifically about that.

Well, he and his wife married with the intent that it was a political marriage so there wasn't really any upfront assumption of it being a thing of passion. Also Elenore was probably one of if not the post powerful first lady in the white house.

It's time once again for trip back to...

(wow better header!)

Michael Ramirez

1
Behold kinda-sorta Obama! Hillary's caricature hasn't changed much (ie still awful), but Ramirez had most of the 90s to let that devolve into a mockery of the human form.

2
As said earlier, conservatives were not too keen on McCain, a "moderate" who appealed to the general population but turned off the base. This would repeat in 2012 with Romney.

3
While most conservatives went straight for misogyny, Ramirez was bold and said she was faking it.

4
To be fair, McCain ultimately did better than Dole...if you don't count Perot's impact on the '96 election.

5
Obama brought up the issue of race, which led to some awkward attempts by Hillary like when a Clinton supporter implied that Obama would be assassinated. This lead to a spat between the two camps about the accomplishments of JFK and MLK.

6
Continuing from above, this comic and the other one are referring to Hillary's comments that it was ultimately LBJ (ACRONYMS!) that got the civil rights bills made into law. The cartoon is :ironicat: as hell as I believe this is around the time when idiots in the south were trying to get Robert E. Lee Day pushed as a more significant holiday. In fact, I know in Virginia it's technically "Lee-Jackson-King Day" :suicide:

7
Romney's Mormonism was also a mild Thing back then.

8
A looooot of Republicans were hoping for Fred Thompson to join the fray, but his candidacy was tantamount to a short wet fart.

9
McCain's age was a another Thing, although it wasn't a really big deal. I mean it's not like he would go an pick a weird out-of-left-field person for VP, right?

10
The primary between Clinton and Obama got fairly dirty at times.

11
God drat Ramirez did a lot of cartoons

Okay, I'm gonna take a break here. I'm having difficulty finding older Allie cartoons, but if I can't find them today then I got a back up for you all.

Weren't there a lot of desperate attempts at justification from conservatives when it came out that all this "tough" "enhanced interrogation" didn't get us a single useful bit of intel?

I remember Cheney at least trying to claim that it lead the Obama administration to Bin Laden (even when it was proven to have nothing to do with it).

I understad that Trump makes his best efort to prevent this, but how "moderate" will he look later? The American political spectrum seems to be on a slope which always goes farther to the right. And sometimes it feels more like a wall.
"The only reason we lost 2016 is because that Trump was way to soft on the Muslim threat, when he announced to deport all of them. God King Emperor Reagan Envoy of the Invisible Hand, would have executed them on the spot, to sell their organs, to make America great again. We need a strong leader who stands above human law. Vote Jeff 'Marow Crusher' Miller 2020."

And 4 years later that guy will be to soft and left wing even for the democrats.
