Stanek Sunday funnies 11-9-14
Good morning, and Happy Sunday After Election Day! Goodness, it was so hard to pick this week, as you might imagine. But after cutting til it hurts, here were my top five seven favorite political cartoons for this memorable week. Be sure to vote for your fav in the poll at the bottom of this post!

Cartoons |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Definitely going with #6 this week.
Does the Michael Ramirez cartoon contain a veiled reference to the Carly Simon song? (You always think this election’s about you…)
Congrats to the GOP – they did what they needed to on election night.
Interested to see where their priorities lie – 2016 could be a huge year either way, and I think it depends on the upcoming power struggle within the GOP. I’ve already emailed my GOP senator promoting a repeal and replace.
My favorite joke is not one of the cartoons —
It is Jill’s weekly insistence that she is supposed to pick her top five of the week, and yet she can never resist adding a few more.
I voted for #7 (King Obama). I loved #5 (In-Box) when I first saw it, but #7 is much better.
The common point is that this not a Republican win, orchestrated by the genius of elite Republicans. This is a voter revolt — a demand to both parties.
Despite a proganda-pushing media,
Despite overpaid, overactive lobbyists,
Despite deliberately skewed pollsters,
Despite rampant election fraud (dead voters, 2nd and 3rd time voters),
Despite 7 years of Alinsky-style tactics,
the people overwhelmingly have spoken.
Imagine what the numbers would be without the fraud and with unbaised reporting,
Watching them lose was better than I could have imagined, and their whining denial (“Hilary was the real winner”) was both heartwarming and entertaining!
That all being said, I hope the winners take the higher road and show by example how it’s done, rather than turn tables and be obnoxious in their own turn.
Listen to the voters, and work together, and if you don’t, you’ll be swept into the dustpan yourself next time.
I vote for #1 and #2

“Congrats to the GOP – they did what they needed to on election night.”
.
“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”
.
The boRAT bloviates, October 17, 2013 [She has demonstrated repeatedly that her oath to the constitution and the intents of its authors mean nothing to her, except where she can pervert them to her own ends.
.
Hats off to the voters. They are the ones who did what they needed to and executed on election night.
.
A nod to democRAT spokesweasels and the boRAT for motivating the voters on the right and suppressing the vote on the left.
.
Now it remains to be seen if the GOP congressional leadership can collectively grow a set of cajones and responsibly use the power they have been granted for the next two years.
.
Reince Priebus set a good example:
.
Burnett, the CNN host played a clip from the news conference that afternoon during which Obama said regarding Republicans: “I’m eager to see what they have to offer, but what I’m not going to do is just wait. They have every opportunity to pass legislation that can supersede my executive action.”
.
Obviously, Burnett noted, those final words were key to his message. “So the question is: Are Republicans going to pass something, are they going to compromise with the president, or is he going to use executive action?”
“I don’t believe a thing he says,” Priebus the RNC chairman replied. “He’s been talking about immigration reform for seven years, so you’re using his words as if they actually mean something and asking me to respond to it.”
.
Priebus continued: “All he’s been doing for the last year is lying to Hispanic voters across the country” by letting public outcry determine that he would “sign executive amnesty” after the midterms.
.
“I mean, it’s ridiculous,” the Republican continued. “He’s not trustworthy on this issue, and the only thing he has done is he’s unified the country against his immigration policies” by “using people for politics.”
.
Priebus did not go far enough: The boRAT is NOT trustworthy on anything. Her word has less gravitas than talcum powder floating on on an infants flatulence.
