...ah, sweet relief. - MoofTheStoof, on 05/11/2008, -34/+150I found this spookily spot-on. Sort of illustrates how crazy this whole endeavor has been.
- DeathJux, on 05/11/2008, -98/+200This is pretty ***** stupid.
I miss the days of digg being primarily a tech-related site, not a political springboard. - Tangaroa, on 05/11/2008, -14/+74Tom the Dancing Bug is awesome. Have another Nate the Neocon strip:

And here is another great Tom the Dancing Bug character, Lucky Ducky, who was based on a Wall Street Journal editorial where the WSJ honestly argued that poor people were luckier than the rich because their taxes were lower.
http://images.salon.com//comics/boll/2002/12/19/bo ... - BurningSky, on 05/11/2008, -15/+60That's not true. Americans have been protesting this war since before it began. I marched in Washington DC in 2005, there were 300,000 of us, but the MSM barely covered it...
- v1c1ous, on 05/11/2008, -31/+66yeah....it failed in 2 ways.
1 being funny. 2 putting its message across. - brad3378, on 05/11/2008, -3/+31That's odd - as a Registered Republican myself, I have to say that's a fairly accurate depiction of what our party has become.
The only thing I would change about the comic is that I would have his grandchildren pay for the game room for decades to come - for the sake of accuracy of course. - brad3378, on 05/11/2008, -6/+33I had no idea there were so many John McCain supporters on Digg until this comic was posted.
Welcome to the party.
So where have you guys been? - DurkaDONT, on 05/11/2008, -3/+27"Primarily a tech-related site"? You mean circle-jerking over every new Apple product and whining about Microsoft?
Yeah, what happened to this site? - afx1, on 05/11/2008, -4/+27lol
i wish there was some current event i could relate this to - swrostmore, on 05/11/2008, -9/+29All neocons are republicans but not all republicans are neocons.
- pyro789x, on 05/11/2008, -6/+26How about you stop looking at the 'politics' section? Take it off your homepage.
- swrostmore, on 05/11/2008, -3/+22not true, Ron Paul Republicans hate neocons, and they made up 5-15% of voters in the GOP Primary elections.
- chaosium, on 05/11/2008, -2/+20Someone of a baser intelligence knows the difference between too and to.
- acroyear2, on 05/11/2008, -2/+18Lies. Center for New American Progress is neo-conservative and they've dictated the facets of this war and policy.
- zephyear, on 05/11/2008, -6/+23neoconservative =/= conservative
republican party =/= conservative - whatthefu, on 05/11/2008, -2/+18I miss the days of digg when people weren't complaining about how much better the old days were.
- aresgunther, on 05/11/2008, -3/+18I may be wrong on this, but I thought 2005 was _after_ the war began.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -6/+21LOL you just called RON PAUL a liberal...
- JDove6, on 05/11/2008, -4/+20kinda like our debt since the conservatives took over?
- fantasmacanino, on 05/11/2008, -3/+17Keeping those darn kids off their lawns, or learning how to use the interwebs.
- diggadigga, on 05/11/2008, -1/+14or regular conservatives, or moderates, or just sane.
- SemiSarcastic, on 05/11/2008, -6/+20I hate NEOCONS!
*holds out hand*
100 diggs please! - swrostmore, on 05/11/2008, -6/+20reading comprehension is elitist
- dxgg, on 05/11/2008, -23/+38I was right there with you until you decided to toss in an insult.
- chaosium, on 05/11/2008, -0/+13"But its also crazy to try to pull out this late in the game"
"Late" implies that we've got a victory in sight. We don't. We don't have any plan, nor do we have the will of the people on our side. - PHiZ187, on 05/11/2008, -14/+24You're serious? You're offended by a comic?
I'm offended that the president has bypassed the congress to engage in a pattern of spying on Americans and torturing foreign prisoners. And these WORDS offend you? We're going to pound the republicans into the DUST for what they've done to America's standing in the world. - PHiZ187, on 05/11/2008, -11/+24I dunno, 4000 dead soldiers back?
- laserdog, on 05/11/2008, -2/+13Yes, it would be insane to measure the cost vs benefit of an endeavor and react accordingly.
- Cody-Nolen, on 05/11/2008, -8/+21Why do we have to be a part of any party? My thoughts aren't the same as anyone else's, I am a individual... I thought all humans strive to be one of those.
The strip is funny too. =P - bernoulliv2, on 05/11/2008, -1/+11too funny
- swrostmore, on 05/11/2008, -3/+13kind of like when 50 Gathering of Eagles counterprotesters show up and claim they outnumber the tens of thousands protesting the war.
- Jexie, on 05/11/2008, -1/+10Or just real conservatives who hate seeing their political party hijacked by lunatics.
- BigW, on 05/11/2008, -4/+15Like it or not, neo-conservative really represents a more liberal leaning conservatism. It is evident in Bush's No-child-left-behind big government intrusion into education, his prescription drug program for Medicare, and his general belief in amnesty for illegal aliens.
In all these areas, neo-cons separate themselves from true small government conservatives and implement many things that the left truly desires.
What truly baffles me is how readily Bush has gotten buddy buddy with big wigs on the left to pass left leaning legislation (Kennedy specifically) when the left has nothing but complete loathing for him. I can't understand it. I have no clue why Bush is willing to poke true conservatives who had supported them in the eye on these issues. Thats the real reason his approval is so low. The liberals hate him for the war and many real conservatives are pissed at the policies hes passed and his insistence at not being fiscally conservative.
Neo-cons are not really new conservatives, they're bad conservatives. - inactive, on 05/11/2008, -6/+14"it's liberals who have no respect for property rights"
Tell that to the Iraqis. - PHiZ187, on 05/11/2008, -4/+12yeah, reality has a well-known liberal bias.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -4/+12You didn't understand the comic, did you?
- DeathJux, on 05/11/2008, -2/+9I hope you are peeing all over yourself in glee.
- AudioPhil3, on 05/11/2008, -2/+9I bet that neighbour is going to get a dog now.
- apophenic, on 05/11/2008, -4/+11Yes, you can, because they've been lying, and refusing to listen to the people, for years.
- laserdog, on 05/11/2008, -0/+7Because it is a lot of work forming your own opinion on each and every issue.
It's far easier to buy a pennant and cheer/boo the result of each play. - inactive, on 05/11/2008, -5/+12???
- bobcat7407, on 05/11/2008, -2/+12It says "the neoconservative" right under the name "Nate".
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -11/+19The funniest part is that the right wing morons don't understand the comedy of the cartoon. The strip was funny. The right winger's reaction is hilarious.
- swrostmore, on 05/11/2008, -6/+13hint: you don't know any neocons.
- brad3378, on 05/11/2008, -2/+9I like this definition best:
Neoconservative – A "neocon" is more inclined than other conservatives toward vigorous government in the service of the goals of traditional morality and pro-business policies. Tends to favor a very strong foreign policy of America as well.
