The republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin are making their way towards the White House on a foundation of lies. This political cartoon displays McCain driving a construction vehicle, while he is driving, he proclaims, “This one is to somewhere.” This comment is referring to a block that McCain’s vehicle is holding; this block reads the word, “LIES”. Unfortunately, this is not the only place where this word is seen. The road to which leads McCain and Palin to the White House, is made up of blocks which also state the word, “LIES”. This cartoonist is mocking McCain and Palin, and their building blocks towards being elected to becoming the next president and vice-president. The construction vehicle represents McCain and his progress in the campaign. These building blocks express that McCain’s whole campaign revolves around lies. Also because of McCain’s statement, it is oblivious that McCain can easily say one lie after another. This political cartoon also reveals a person watching McCain. While he is watching him, the person exclaims, “Quite an infrastructure investment.” This statement is evidence that the public also feels that McCain’s speeches and ideas are built on lies. In Conclusion, the republican candidate and his VP have told many lies and will continue to do so until they have reached their destination.
