Default How to be a Republican!

To be a Republican today you need to believe:

1. Jesus loves you and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary
Clinton.

2. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's
Daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a 'we-can't-find-Bin-Laden' diversion.

3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but
trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our
highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multinational drug corporations can make decisions affecting all
mankind without regulation.

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies,
then demand their cooperation and money.

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing
health care to all Americans is socialism. HMO's and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools.

11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense,
but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which many hundreds of thousands die needlessly is solid moral defense policy.

12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

13. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but
George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

14. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're
a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

15. Support for 'Executive Privilege' in perpetuity for every Republican ever
born, who will be born, or who might be born.

16. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what
Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

17. Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for
wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail.

You don't think it's funny that people can be that screwed up?

I find it interesting that when someone says something absurd they say why is this not in the humor section?

You have stated some relatively accurate observations here, so…

This is also why the GOP is close to death, all because of The Limpbawls, Hannity, Fox TV. "W" and the RNC

How many Republicans hate homosexuals?

Saddam was never anything other than a bad guy. No Republican has ever claimed otherwise.

3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
Please post your source that states Republicans are concerned with international harmony.

4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
Our highest priority is to enforce UN resolutions when it is convenient for us to do so.

No Republican is making the claim that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body.

The fetus is not her own body.

If thats what it takes.

You forgot to put "allies" in quotes.

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy
Please post your evidence that we are providing health care for the Iraqis.

I am ok with teaching them all in schools. So long as opposition viewpoints are represented.



Quote:

It is solid moral defense policy even though he did not lie.

Correct.

15. Support for 'Executive Privilege' in perpetuity for every Republican ever born, who will be born, or who might be born.
And for every Democrat as well.

This has nothing to do with Cuba being communist. It is a sore-loser's response for failing to kick Castro out of power.

To be a Democrat today you need to believe:

1. The government is the source of all good, and taxation is the lifeblood of a society.

2. Saddam was a regular guy, and ended up dead only because Bush wanted to give new contracts to Halliburton.

3. It's silly to get upset with dictatorships, as long as they're communist or islamofascist.

4. WE should make all US laws dependent upon the approval of UN dictators (AKA "the world")

5. Pregnant? Squirt some drano in there - see how the little bugger likes THAT!

6. The best way to improve the military is to disband it.

7. Condoms dropped on africa by the shipload haven't stopped AIDS, but hey, experts say it'll work.

8. A good way to fight terrorism is to send them flowers with a note "please don't be mean to us".

9. Providing health care rationing to all americans, because c'mon, is an 18 month wait for surgery REALLY that bad?

10. Global warming is the closest thing you'll ever have to a religion.

11. A president who kills or wounds anybody in a war should be impeached, and the only wars we should fight are ones in which the US has not the slightest interest.

12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include killing fetuses, suppressing religion, and anti-white discrimination.
