Things you have to believe to be a modern Republican...

[carrrnuttt]

• 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.

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

• A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all humankind without regulation.

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

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

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

• Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

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

• A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

• The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's cocaine conviction is none of our business. 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.

• You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

• What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '70s & '80s is irrelevant.

• Try to figure out why stem cell research is taboo, but creationism makes a lot of sense.

/[quote]Ronald Reagan armed Saddam, thats news to me.

Why whatever do you mean Ike! President Clinton was in office for 8 years, if its a republican agenda, then why didn't he lift the embargo on Cuba?

I've never heard a republican say that jesus hates homosexuals. It is wrong in gods eyes, but so is murder and he still loves murderers.

really, my combat pay was never cut!

correct me if im wrong, but a democratic president got us into Vietnam which killed over 50,000 americans and then a republican president got us out! HUNH!

Rush is a hypocrite. I agree.

Do you really believe that the Republican Congress would have allowed him?

Well, in that case, God and the Republican hard-core don't see eye-to-eye.

You're right, they backpedaled, after it was used against them politically: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/employmen...33/detail.html

So? Go impeach LBJ for Vietnam then. I'll support your efforts all the way. Now, how about going back on topic? (HUNH?)

Sounds about right yeah.....

[2strokebloke]

Wow, Republicans are a lot funnier than I thought. (But do they know the difference between laughing with, and laughing at?).

[Rbraczyk]

I say before republicans attack john kerry, look at what you are doing. THink about what you do and believe in before you open your mouth. May be hard, but give it a whirl.

[FerrariLvr]

I find most republicans like to twist the truth. Hell, you can show them an actual picture of an event, and they still don't believe it, it says a lot about their intelligence.

Locking threads because they don't agree with you, is alot like Mrs. Cheney and her book burning!

Cheney's Book Burning ... An AP story in the Santa Fe Newmexican

Nope Saddam was never a "good guy" he was however the lesser of two evils, and the country in the Iran-Iraq conflict not being helped by the USSR.

Nah I could care less about Cuba, lift the embargo for all I care.

Nah, Just against murder. Frankly as long as its handled before the first trimaster I could care less about abortion, but once a a child is able to survive outside of the mothers womb its murder.

Dont care about homosexuals, Im agnostic, and Hillarys a bitch plain and simple.

Nah pretty moronic actually

I believe that the idea is to encourage abstonence, however taking away condoms probably isnt the best way. The pregnant chicks at school are always the best encouragement for me.

Providing free healthcare to all Americans will either bankrupt america or make our medical service horrible, have some common sense

Tobacco link to cancer junk science, I havnt heard that one but ok. Global warming sure teach it whatever just don't get overly obsessive like in "The Day After Tomorrow." Creationalism is bull toss it or teach it in private schools but keep it out of public schooling.

Its lying under oath that is an impeachable offence, and Bush was misinformed, not lying.

Cattle trades and drug addictions are pretty different topics. Wheres the comparison? Bush was accused but never convicted of coke by the way.

Stem cell research should have full funding and like i said creationalism is bull. Keep in mind that Bush is the first president to fund stem cell research though
