The second cartoon is cute. Except that there should also be an elephant in the corner asleep, oblivious and uninterested to what is happening around him.
The first cartoon is misleading... if only because it doesn't note that it was conservatives who blocked that attempt. All these Republicans and conservatives rhetorically rallying around Medicare (while somehow simultaneously ranting against gov't involvement in healthcare?!) is just a cynical attempt to rally elderly voters against reforms.
The third cartoon is equally misleading because what the healthcare reform bill(s) would do is actually help taxpayers get the level of options and coverage that lawmakers already have.
