Republican "Moderates" mocked in editorial cartoon

Tue Jul 17, 2007 at 09:18:40 PM PDT

John Aravosis totally annihalatesthe Republican "moderates" pushing the bogus "Iraq Study Group (ISG) Recommendations Implementation Act of 2007."

In Delaware we have a fake moderate named Michael Castle who claims to have voted against every Democratic plan to demand accountability from the White House on Iraq on the ground that they were "symbolic."

As Aravosis points out, the  ISG Recommendations Implementation Act is a measure that  is written as a "sense of the Congress" - meaning,  "it has the same legal weight as National Ice Cream Day."

He also points out that the "Iraq Study Group (ISG) Recommendations Implementation Act of 2007" (if it was an actual law - which it is not) mandates that the we maintain troops in Iraq  "subject to unexpected development in the security situation on the ground."   As Aravisis puts it,  "this means that if things don't get better, we don't leave."

It is basically Bush's "plan" in a nicer binder.

Anyway, a great many Delawarean's are fed up with Castle's BS so we went ahead and had a cartoon drawn that can be used to mock any of the so-called Republican moderates trying to act like the ISG Recommendations Implementation Act of 2007 is a real thing. Mark Kirk and Charlie Dent come to mind.

I don't know how to put up a picture - so here is the link.

Feel free to use it to mock your fake moderate.
