1. The k and the r

For America and all the abuse she has suffered at the hands of the Republicon Homelanders.

Rise up.

[budkin]

2. He couldn't have put it any better.

[NC_Nurse]

3. Yep. K&R

[lunatica]

4. It's been like that for years

I often compared the Bush administration to an abusive spouse.

Abusive spouses make sure to make it damn near impossible to leave them. Threats (using fear), promises (I'll take care of you), tricks (take more and more freedom from you), isolation (alienate your friends), and did I mention fear?

[tledford]

8. Yes, twenty-nine years, to be exact. eom

[chrisa]

24. Yup. I've always thought this comparison was applicable too.

Too bad we can't do an intervention

[Papa Boule]

13. And it could have as easily been a guy on the ground

saying "Don't worry, Daddy, I'll vote for you."

[ProudDad]

14. Of course the next panel has a

donkey representing her abusive mother...driving her back into the arms of her elephant husband...

[Papa Boule]

19. well, that gets a +1

simply for noting that that kind of thing can be a part of abuse systems. Especially in cultures that support and enable it.
