    Editorial Cartoon: Democrats and Justice Roberts

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week THREE!  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Some people were clicking the link and then accidentally voting on the first thing that popped up.  Unfortunately no way to direct link to my cartoon.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD Tuesday.

    Today’s editorial cartoon is in honor of Chief Justice John Roberts.  Seems ever since he has been nominated to the Supreme Court, Democrats have chastised Roberts for being a right winger.  There was even speculation during President Obama’s Inauguration that Roberts purposefully flubbed the lines Obama was reciting during his Oath of Office.

    Well last week Justice Roberts shocked both sides of the spectrum when he joined his more liberal justices in upholding what is affectionately been known as ObamaCare.  Now Democrats are going to have to reevaluate their thoughts on the Chief.

    So Doctor, Senator and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul was in the news last week about his seemingly hypocritical stance on Social Security (see article).   Seems with one breath he states that Social Security is Unconstitutional but with the other admits that he accepts Social Security.

    In the editorial cartoon I used “Hypocritic Oath” instead of “Hippocratic Oath” (pledge of doctors).  See what I did there?  Pretty clever huh?

    I am torn though.  One one hand, he did pay into the system so he has the right to get paybacks.  YET, he makes the claim that he puts it in the same category as roads  where he has paid into them so he should enjoy the benefits thereof.   It would be very difficult to NOT drive on government roads.  It would be very easy to take a stand and not cash your Social Security check or at the least protest by donating the checks.   Thoughts?

    Bearman Cartoons Mitt Romney Indecisive

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week TWO!  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Some people were clicking the link and then accidentally voting on the first thing that popped up.  Unfortunately no way to direct link to my cartoon.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD  Saturday.

    It seems like every presidential election cycle their is a candidate the press/pundits like to point out is wishy washy or indecisive in some way.  John Kerry was known as the flip flopper and now the mantra has been passed down to Mitt Romney.  I was reading this quote from Leo Tolstoy which inspired today’s editorial cartoon.  Tolstoy was a Russian writer in the 1800’s who is famous for writing War and Peace and also inspiring non violent movements such as used by Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

    I don’t mind a politician changing his mind on issues.  I guess it is better than standing your ground without being able to be persuaded.  But changing your mind is a far cry from consistently being indecisive.
