Things You Have To Believe To Be A Republican Toda

[Imagolfer]

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

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

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind 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.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

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.

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

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

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 George Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

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.

Saddam became dangerous when the Germans and French ignored UN Sanctions and sold him technology to make WMD.

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

China and Vietnam trade came about because of the hard work of Bill Clinton and his sidekick Erskine Bowles. Bush has had nothing to do it.

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.

It's a moral failing and a crime no matter what your affiliation. I don't recall any Republican saying we should look the other way when a conservative talk show host was caught. My take is he should be prosecuted just like anyone else.

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

According to John Kerry we should go to the UN before we can even protect our own citizens but then again he says he wouldn't do that. How can anyone believe what he says as he has no idea what he says.

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

Why should a womans choice override the rights of the unborn? Actually a woman does have the right to choose about decisions about her own body. It begins prior to having unprotected sex. How does allowing a woman to choose to have an abortion differ from multi-national corporations making decisions? Both affect all mankind in many the same ways.

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

Read the Bible. The answer is in there. As for Hillary, she's he own worse nightmare.

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

The best way to improve military survivability is to vote to send the troops in harms way and then vote to not fund them with ammo, body armor and supplies. Then come out and say I voted for the funding before I voted against it like Mr. Kerry did. That's the ultimate flip-flop.

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

If prayer wasn't kept out of school maybe adolescents would have another voice for their concience.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

A good way to be a long time ally is to go behind your allies back and sell technology to rogue nations so they can develop WMD. With allies like that we need no enemies.

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

Iraqis don't have John Edwards and the likes of him driving up health care costs to the point the system is about to collapse.

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

I don't know of any republican that believes this.

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

Goes back to reading the Bible.

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.

There is a huge difference in lying in sworn testimony and getting information from intelligence agencies both in this country and others that all said the same thing and acting on that information. Don't you find it ironic even members of the Senate Intelligence Committee had the same information yet they said nothing? Who is a member of that Committee? John Kerry is and it must've been one of the days he was missing from those hearings and meetings.

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

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

Did George Bush's driving record result in ill-gotten profits?

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 George Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Read the Bible. The answer is in there

Goes back to reading the Bible.

Perhaps Bush should spend a little more time reading the New Testament...you know the version that defines Christians.

I believe somewhere in the New Testament is some verbage about "when your cheek is slapped, turn and offer him the other cheek". It's odd that for such a Christian person, Bush totally forgets that and decides that, rather than offering the other cheek, we should slap the cheek of the offenders second cousin in retaliation.

If he wanted to portray himself as the pro life candidate, he should adopt the stance of the Catholic Church...the truest 'pro life' group there is. They not only believe that it is a sin to abort a fetus, they also believe that is a sin to put someone to death, no matter how heinous the crime (Carla Faye Tucker ring a bell?) and the pope...spokesperson for this group, denounces war. And as a Catholic, I cannot understand many other Catholics supporting Bush only because of his stance on abortion. Death is death, regardless of the age. But they seem to overlook how he didn't just order someone put to death....he MOCKED her as he refused to commute her sentence to life in prison. And the person who begged for her life was a woman who found Jesus and said that she didn't want to be freed...but spared so that maybe she could help others in prison find their way thru Jesus. Instead, old "holy George" sneered and said "Pleeeze don't keeeel meee". Request denied.

And I'm sorry...but there are far greater issues facing this country than gay marriage.

It is also said in the Bible about and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. We aren't dealing with people who read our Bible nor do they abide by it's principles. They think they're going to go to heaven and be rewarded with virgins because they blew themselves up and killed innocent people. If it's such a grand ideal why doesn't Usama and his gang do us all a favor and follow their own advice?
I'm Catholic and I support Bush. I believe life begins at conception and it's a sin to abort a fetus. I also believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. I believe in forgiveness for sins and even the worst amoungst us will be forgiven if they choose to ask for that forgiveness and cease to commit those crimes they've asked forgiveness for. George isn't perfect. He's human and has made many mistakes. Jesus said to the group that was about to stone a prostitute (Mary Magdalan) that those amoungst you without sin cast the first stone. George will answer for his sins just like we all will. I prefer to trust God in his wisdom to punish George as he sees fit just as I hope he'll take mercy on me when I face him on judgement day.
