Herblock, a famous cartoonist drew a cartoon many years ago demonstrating the difference between a democratic presidential candidate (?) and the republican candidate (?). In that cartoon, both the republican and democratic candidates are each in a separate limousine running over the American public. The difference, the democratic candidate is actually driving the limo over the American people while the republican has a chauffeur doing the driving.
My take on the Republican Party is that it is devoid of any moral constraints that has been adequately portrayed in the cartoons of cigar smoking self-dealing tycoons making deals in the smoke-filled back room.
But what of the Democrats? For some reason, I have yet to develop a clear cartoon image of the Democratic Party. A possible image, a generic ornate Roman Caesar on a pedestal passing out "free" money to the unthinking cheering adoring unwashed masses?
