ugugguhhh

Where's the evidence that's Obama's view?

So every problem or inequality cqn simply be solved by a napkin. Man, that changes everything.

I see the 1st graders had art class today!

Hmm, wiping a nose gets some heavy ass entendres in this context. That's *some* damn congestion going on.

God needs better representation and fewer "special helpers".

Ron Paul wants you to have freedom!

Unless you want an abortion or clean air or protection from labor abuses or etc etc etc.....

HE IS A DEMOCRAT

If we were pursuing this metaphor in good faith, Ron is actually the "let it run" candidate.

A nose which allows its owner to wipe it is not truly free. The noses which can wipe themselves are the only ones which deserve wiping.

Well I thought it was funny.

Even if it's not accurate and the metaphor isn't fully developed, I still think this is funny.

works pretty well. I mean, Paul pretty much feels that if you don't have any tissues then too bad for you. Even though you're standing in the main ballroom with everyone else and you figure there ought to be a tissue somewhere but there isn't. So you go ask someone if you can get one, and they basically tell you that its your own fault if you don't have one. After all THEIR valet always puts a satin cloth in their pocket and a cotton one for a backup, what is your problem? So you ask around and most people are either like you, tissue-less or they only have a half of one or they already loaned theirs out OR they have lots of tissues and won't give you one. Over in the corner there's some guy selling them but since he's the only tissue seller around his prices are beyond your means so you're really outta luck there. Someone else is giving tissues away for free but there's a really long line and after waiting four hours you get to the front and they hand you half a square of toilet paper but by now the snot is all running down your shirt and that half a square won't do jack. SO you yell out "hey, I'll uh, rub your back for a nice cotton handkerchief! any takers!" and some big guy says he'll bite but after you give him a back rub so hard your arms are aching he turns around, hands you one square of toilet paper and walks away. Of course by now the snot is running onto your pants too so that one square doesn't really cut it. You try asking again but because the snot is really looking gross and by now you're really sweaty from that arduous backrub you gave so people are just avoiding you now. And you even look around on the floor but you can't find much more than a half a square of toilet paper or a bare corner of a napkin or some paper towel that's covered in grease so you manage to get SOME of the snot off you but you're really looking nasty by now and people are starting to whisper about how awful you are, "he can't even wipe his nose properly, obviously he is just lazy, letting the snot run all over him like that"

And then the bouncer comes and threatens to toss you out. You talk him into letting you hang around the hallway, hoping someone will throw a napkin down or something.

But hey, nobody was FORCED to give you a tissue (or even chip in to get you one) so its all good, right?

Real progressives want full health care coverage, so you can go to the doctor for preventative care, so your nose doesn't run in the first place.

You know, this isn't that funny. Nor is it accurate.

boooo

yeah even though I don't consider Obama a Real Progressive, I do think this in this analogy he'd be of the "let's prevent the nose from running in the first place so you don't have to worry about a tissue and can get back to work" camp

It would have been a bit funnier if it had "The Invisible Hand" instead of "Me" for Ron Paul.

I dunno. By "wipe nose" I assume they mean provide health care, then I'd go with the government as having that responsibility; that's why we pay for a government, to do shit. Not sure that an Obama vote will get you that, but it's the closest you've got in the US.

No, I think they mean 'wipe nose', as in 'do everything for the little baby'. It's the HUR SOSHULIZMZ strawman in chart form.
