Top 5 Lessons learned by John Q. Republican in the 2012 election:
Sometimes Pollsters get it exactly right. Maybe it was luck. Maybe for all the wrong reasons. Maybe the lure of free stuff was underestimated. Regardless, many of the polls turned out to be pretty accurate. The problem with a dishonest, inept press is that you can overlook the few times they are truthful.
Stop w/ Democrat-Lite. It is not possible outbid Liberals. We need to convince people that things earned are far better than things given by govt. Both McCain & Romney were the most liberal Republicans and the choice of GOP elders. Failures are a lesson the GOP seems to ignore.
Turnout is key. You can't win if your party stays home. Abandon the base at your peril. If your candidate is on the opposite side of 2 major issues, Obamacare and Immigration, don't expect enthusiasm. Then once Romney locked up the nomination only the precious Independents mattered. His base was largely ignored and often belittled.
Most of the beltway GOP know little. The best Rove, Krauthammer, et al can manage is squeakers and good efforts. They are not bold. Good showings and nice efforts do not get the W. Style points count little. Winning matters. Winners steer the ship. The GOP must learn lessons from Scot Walker and the Tea Party. They are the ones taking scalps.
Do not listen to advice from Liberals. What they claim would be helpful is exactly the opposite. They keep saying we need to move to the left - and we keep losing. In 2010 we went right and won. Liberals are opponents not friends. Will the GOP please, please recognize this!

The State of Conservatoons.
Postings have been scant here on Conservatoons lately and I apologize for that. One of my many failings is that the internet side of cartooning - the uploading, organizing, updating, designing, etc., is sheer drudgery for me.
Drawing single panel, gag comics is what I enjoy most and I do it nearly every day. When I first started posting, my problem was lack of content. Now my problem is too much and it is not organized nor presented well. I have been uploading things randomly and calling it good. I now have plenty of content: 3500 comics, just as many goofy graphics/spoof ads, and much more. (Note: It would take almost 5 hrs to read
Has Shark Week Jumped the Shark?
The short answer: Yes, years ago, but I still watch it. Even the most avid shark enthusiast would have to concede that Shark Week has devolved down to the pseudo-intellectuals’ version of a monster truck rally / mud bog competition.
In the earlier days it was fun, educational and exciting. What is better than a shark attacking and tearing some hapless creature to shreds in a cloud of blood? We watched the shows thinking: wow, I didn’t know that, fascinating.
Fast forward 25 years. (Yes, over 25 yrs actually)
Now the internet has more shark video and information than you could ever want. Much of it better than anything

Is this the very best Conservative Cartoon & Nonsense Gallery on DA?
By far.
Do you do any traditional comic art?
Not really. I do a pencil sketch and then ink over it with a black marker. The rest is by computer. I have not used colored markers or paint on cartoons for years.
Why don't you use traditional methods & materials?
They are messy, take up a lot of space, are not as quick and are difficult to edit. I am more focused on the idea than the art.
What size it the original art?
I sketch on regular notebook

Oh, and one more thing:
I wanted to see the Marxist mutt win the now red house again because it's sold more guns and ammo than the klintons ever thought about. It's woken lots of sheeple up and pissed many people off and kept lots of idiot republicrats off the golf course. Its arrogance may yet take us to the crucible we must face before another generation or two is indoctrinated by the govt. schools and universities in false mindless pacifism.
