In this Political Cartoon satire and irony is the focal point of the cartoon. In the cartoon, Mitt Romney is given an oscar for best actor. He was the best actor because he was playing the role of being "severely conservative." The author of this cartoon is clearly critical of Romney.
Romney has been criticized by a great deal of Republicans for not being conservative enough. Although he often calls himself a conservative, Romney actions tend to be a lot more liberal than that of most conservatives. While being Governor of MA, he supported and urged for a health system that is extreme similar to what the republicans call Obamacare. The Cartoonist is using irony and satire to prove this point. I wouldn't necessarily call him an "actor" I just think that Romney is battling with his ideology and the political ideologies associated with the Republican Party.
