Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:

[Catfight]

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
a 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 the 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.

Feel free to pass these on. If you don't send them to
at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck
with Bush for 4 more years.

Friends don't let friends vote Republican.

4. Modern Conservative: definition

Modern Conservative: Someone who can take time
out from complaining about the Vince Foster "murder"
and the Ron Brown "murder" and troopergate and filegate
to tell us that liberals indulge in conspiracy theories.
