No, I am not pointing out the similarities between the Dickensian hellscape they are promising and that offered by villains from cartoons like Captain Planet or G.I.Joe. I'm saying that they are now literally cartoon characters.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Well, basically all of them put "...in America!" at the end of all their declarative statements. So Bandit Keith could be any of them. I was really thinking of:

Newt Gingrich wrote:The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.
Honestly, the best Mitt Romney is Richie Rich, who just doesn't understand why poor people whose clothes wear out don't patch them with spare hundred dollar bills.
I think there may not be any limit to the correspondences.
I assume Newt is completely-crazy-douchebag (who cheats in children's card games!) Kaiba from Abridged, and not moderately-bad-guy (who cheats in children's card games!) Kaiba from the regular series?
I was trying to think of one for Bachman, but I don't think such a batshit insane character exists in cartoons.

... in America? Guess he just forgot.

Which do you think are more despicable? The Republicans who don't give a shit about culture wars and would happily allow Gay Muslim Mexican to abort a fetus if it meant a tax cut for them like Norquist and Romney or the kind of culture war Republicans like Santorum and Huckabee who actually do want some measure of economic justice but are too fucking stupid/wanting to stick it to the Mooslims to realize how to achieve it?

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
This is a way out there hypothetical I guess where we are granting that Santorum and Huckabee actually cared about economic justice?
In such a bizarro world, I'd find the latter more despicable but the former the greater threat to our nation. Much like how I'd find a murder-rapist more despicable than Bernie Madoff, even though it is likely that Madoff caused more suffering overall indirectly by driving people to poverty and no doubt some into crime.
It's the big business corruption that allows batshit stupid people to remain in power. Get rid of the reliance upon bribes (campaign funds) for our representatives and then there would be a possibility that people in office would no longer be beholden to big money. Then we could actually select people based upon more rational factors rather than choosing between two very specific parties.
...I don't appreciate the comparison of Michelle Bachman to Harley.
I mean, even Harley isn't that fucking insane.

I'm not going to bother to even touch this thread with a ten foot pole. But I would like to throw a bucket of cold water on the point that had I started a thread comparing Democratic presidental candidates to cartoon characters I would have been called a racist.
Only if you compared Obama to the Jim Crows in Dumbo or something similar, tzor.

If you announce that Obama is a stereotypical Black character "because he is Black", that's Racist. If you found a quote of Obama's that happened to be word for word identical to that of an animated electric mouse, that would not be. Herman Cain is Pikachu. Not because he is Black, but because he literally quotes Pikachu.
As for Bachmann being Harley. Yeah, I can see that. You could probably also do something with Faye Valentine or Slowpoke over Bachmann's rants about the imminent threat of the Soviet Union or asking for us to celebrate Elvis' birthday on the day he died.
I think it's safe to say we don't have a Batman around right now. Otherwise things will be much more awesome.
