Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:

1. 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.

2. The United States should get out of the United

Nations, and our highest national priority is

enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business

and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use

marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

4. "Standing Tall for America'" means firing your

workers and moving their jobs to India.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her

own body, but multi-national corporations can make

decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

6. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of

homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

7. The best way to improve military morale is to

praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans'

benefits and combat pay.

8. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless

you someday run for governor of California as a

Republican.

9. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents

won't have sex.

10. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our

long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and

money.

11. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

12. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

13. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are

junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in

the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the

Internet.

17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but

George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John

Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.

19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest,

but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade

with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Crap. Pure Crap.

Overly simplistic, highly opinionated, lacking depth, and facts.

Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:

1. 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.

THE TRUTH: Being a drug addict is a SAD thing regardless of being a conservative or a liberal or somewhere in the middle.

2. The United States should get out of the United

Nations, and our highest national priority is

enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

THE TRUTH: The UN is a JOKE. Between the corruption in the "oil for food" program which was run by Kofee Henan's SON involved Saddam giving oil kick backs to countries such as: Germany & France instead of the $ being used for the IRAQ PEOPLE! + The don't enforce their own resolutions & make themselves look weak. All the while they are neglecting the genocide that is occuring NOW in the Sudan & doing VERY little for the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business

and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use

marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

THE TRUTH: "news flash" Tax cuts for what you call "big business is what creats jobs and boosts the econmy. What do you think these people do make money bins and swim around it like Scrooge McDuck?

4. "Standing Tall for America'" means firing your

workers and moving their jobs to India.

THE TRUTH: Firing your works? I don't even know what the hell that means. In regards to India they now have a middle class that has over 400 billion $ to spend. What kind of products you think they are intrested in?

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her

own body, but multi-national corporations can make

decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

THE TRUTH: Partial-birith abortion is killing a baby that could be born out of the womb. That is just WRONG.

6. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of

homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

THE TRUTH: Huh... What the hell did you just say?

My intention was to knock off your whole list but frankly im disgusted that people actually would believe such stupidity.

dead wrong

1)mayor giuliani, george pataki and mayor bloomberg all speakers at next months republican convention are all PRO_CHOICE, and marched in gay rights parade ....I myself vote republican and i am pro-choice and for gay rights...President Bush Supports civil unions for gays as well!!!!

2) I vote republican and i smoke marijuana i also love to bang hot girls obviously so did arnold and most other republicans....i also enjoy exctasy mushrooms and i believe people should to be free to smoke a cigarette in a privitly owned bar or club there should be smoking rooms

3)There were more marijuana arrests and convictions under president clinton for marijuana possession then any other president also we believe in as little govt interference in our personal lives as possible

4) if your middle class you get taxed 28-33% of your income which means from jan-april you work for the govt!!!!! that is insanity how much more should the middle class be taxed!!!

5)After 9/11 and inheriting clintons recession (remember GW took office jan of 2001 the market crashed and we were in a recession by march of 01 GW"s economic policys were not passed and we were still under clintons tax burden)

6)in the last 10 months we have created 1.2 million jobs have had the strongest GDP in 20 years!!! at rate of 5.25% ...Home ownership is at its highest levels ever!! interest rates are the lowest they have been EVER!! people are buying cars and investing in the market which has performed excellent since 3/03!!!!

7) Gov Pataki is reversing the rockafeller drug laws ...Mayor bloomberg backs this as well ..if 50% of the country vote republican how can you say they support tough drug laws for marijuana usage

8)Iam pro-choice but partial birth abortions are uneccessary

9) true christians do not hate homosexuals they believe sex was meant for pro-creation therefor they feel homosexuality is a sin ...but it would be un christian to hate, attack, or harm these individuals ( i do not belive this because i am a republican does not mean im from the religous right philosphy i could care less)

10) If you were presented with intelligence from the CIA, The british, the russian intelligence agencies all saying sadamm hussien had WMD it would have been irresponsible for pres bush to do nothing after 9/11 whyt didnt sadamm hussein just comply with the un resolution????

11) The un oil for food scandal is horrific! we is the outrage from democrats on this?? Sadamm pocketed 10 billion dollars and gave lucrative oil contracts to who??? yes you guessed it GERMANY FRANCE AND RUSSIA!!! gee do you think this is why they were the only 3 nations to oppose the war??

12) the ethnic cleansing in sudan is just as bad as nazi germany, young women are being raped tortureed and murdered for being christians ...this is being commited by muslims up tp 800,000 have been slaughtered like sheep and yet Pres. bush is the only one pushing to end this horror he has sent colin powell to all nations begging and pleading for help yet the UN does nothing as thousands are being murdered for the religion!!! and where is the leftist democrats i thought you believed in human rights lol yeah right

13) if you read history you would understand that it was Jimmy Carter that started relations with sadamm hussein because all other arab nations would not sell us oil because of americas support of israel in was the gas crisis of the 70"s that began our relationship w/iraq ....read history son sadamm was willing to sell us oil

14) we helped osama bin laden and the afghan freedom fighters defeat the soviet union in the 80"s .....how do they pay us back? by saying we deserved 9/11....YOU PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HISTORY!!!!!!!
