This cartoon is an obvious play on gerrymandering. The GOP is redistricting and is allowing on a small portion of the democratic party to be represented so that the republican party has a better chance of winning the districts. The creator of this cartoon is obviously aware of how the party in power redistricts the states in order to give the majority party the advantage in congress.

This cartoon is, again pretty straight forward. The " Little Tea Party" member is actually a Senator named Orrin Hatch. It is pretty obvious by the captions that he feels negatively about Obama's healthcare plan. Hatch, along with other tea party members, feel as though if they were to eliminate Obama's healthcare plan, that would be the kick the economy needs to get back on the right track.
