[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was in poor taste because I think kids should be left out of political campaigns. Yes, Cruz uses them as campaign props and I judge him for that, but the Post doesn't have to dignify it with a commentary. That said, [b]the cartoon didn't make fun of Cruz's kids, it made fun of Cruz for using his kids.[/b] Kind of like how he's using them now in this mock outrage to drum up more fundraising. So I don't judge the Post too harshly for running it, I can see why they might have fallen on that side of the judgment call.[/quote]

I think it says something if you can't understand this difference[/quote]

There's no difference. The cartoon is a metaphor for his actions, right?  Therefore, you're using concrete imagery to express that connection - using his kids to further his career.  So he's in charge of two monkeys on leashes.  His children are STILL the monkeys, which means they are nothing more than animals he's training for purposes of winning this election.
