OK kids that grew up with these toys? Are the decepto-cons
similar to the republicans, in that they fooled so many?

I don't know much about the fight,
but I bought toys for my son at that time.

Is there a writer that can see the analogy and take it to a higher level?

1. Eh...
Not really. I mean the only similarity between the two are that Decepticons and Republicans are both evil to their core, but Decepticons didn't try to hide it at least in the cartoon. I do remember a comic where they were running an island resort as a front for something, but I'm not sure.

2. I just like the word Decepticons
abusing faith vs religion, tinkle down theory,
all the crap that they had done to the american public.

They toyed with the public like a child.

3. Hmmm... An interesting question.
Unfortunately, I can't answer it.

However, in this comic series I'm drawing on my computer entitled "Adventures of the Giant Head" (starring that lovable oaf Bill O'Reilly as a hero of the No Spin Zone), I have an upcoming scene pitting the Giant Head against his arch-rival - Kieth Olbermann - in epic battle. A few panels will feature the two as giant robots from the planet Cybertron - though, admittedly, I am making Keith Megatron, while the Giant Head will be Optimus Prime.

So I've kind of flipped the roles... Kieth as the villain and the Giant Head as the hero.

I know that doesn't help any, but at least I got to shamelessly plug something I'm working on! :rofl:

4. Well at least you are not trying to rewrite V for vendetta
with your astute observations of Billo

5. The first segment of the story paints his compatriots in the No Spin Zone heroically...
...while I try to paint Keith Olbermann and all Liberals as some sort of monsters beyond the protective walls of the No Spin Zone.

I think I'm a little twisted.
