There's nothing more American than clothing a young, unaware child in a witty T-shirt expressing a sophisticated political sentiment. November's election is an important one, and every bit of free advertising could make a difference. That's right; political baby clothes are all the rage this election season. A witty slogan-clad onesie may increase your kid's odds of getting kissed by a candidate at a rally, but is turning your child into a billboard baby brainwashing? We scoured the internet to bring you the best in political baby fashion from both sides of the aisle...

Political Baby Clothes was mostly a great laugh.
Until you reach the photo of Obama with a huge afro & disco suit. No racism there...
Why not do a photo of him in a watermelon patch and get your message across loud & clear!!

All we needed was one with a swastika that reads "Mama's lil' racist" to complete the collection. Glad to see the Republicans are promoting their brand of "family values" at such a young age.

Obviously the cafe press didn't show you the slam on the republicans. It goes both ways. This is a load of crap. Small children are being manipulated by their teachers' opinions, rather than learning their own values through their homes. Children are singing songs, not about little houses or numbers, but about a Messiah who will save them from destruction and demise. That is scary.

If you're going to use your child to make a statement, why not make it a powerful one that transcends political parties, religion, race, etc and gets right down to the heart of what we all wish for our children: peace. www.babies4peace.com is a killer site with great organic clothes with a non-partisan message of hope.

I find it humorously ironic that the majority of the people answering the poll above voted "yes" when the majority of parents project their religious beliefs on their children. It's wrong to project a political belief on children but not a religious one? That's nuts.

Race card? Are u kidding me? You obama believers are pulling the "race" card. We are against obama b/c he is racist - he comes from a black theology church, he has muslim ties. Yall can't even see it b/c all you see is his race. ohh lets vote for a a differ race. it's not about race here --you people who keep bring that up. It's about what he is and who he stands for and that's not for America and the American People!

Awww, what a cute collection of evenhanded political satire! No Ultra-Right slant here, oh no, nosiree!

These are the most reasoned and educational comments I've ever seen from Republicans. Wow. Who knew? You really ought to get these folks to do some speech writing for Palin and McCaine.

Judy, your comment sounds stupid. You need to get the facts. Muslim is a religion. the belief in a higher power, just like Christianity. What makes him a racist??? He is multi-racial. Take the white robe with pointy hood off, and look the he-- around, because us multi racial people are everywhere now. And just an FYI, Columbus didn't discover America, my ancestors were already here.

Chill out guys, it's a joke. Obviously if you are conservative, you will raise your kids with a different view of the role of Government in their lives than if you are a liberal.
You bastards can't even let politics ago when it comes to baby clothes that are CLEARLY a joke. I voted for Ron Paul, I donated to Ron Paul, Obama, Hillary, Kucinich, Gravel, Bob Barr... literally all of the above. And I don't find anything here to be particularly offensive.
Chill out. If you want a race riot, which both sides obviously do, keep voting for Big D/R Reps/Dems. Otherwise maybe check out a third party or Ron Paul next time. Clearly all the major choices were a joke, but you don't see me crying racism/sexism/stolen elections do you? STFU and buy a shirt or don't. When did we all become such pussies? Study politics a little bit and thank your deity that we don't still live in a time where we settle political disagreements with a dual in the middle of the street.
