I'm a Lunchbucket Republican

I work in a small factory for $13 per hour. I lead the fight there to keep the unions out of the shop because my boss made it clear that they won't stay in business if they have to pay us more money. He said they'll just close it up and we'll be out of a job.
The commie unions are the reason auto makers, steel mills, and the airlines are in the dumper, while my company (which you never heard of) is making money hand over fist. These union workers should have to earn the same money as me, or less. Why should I have to pay union dues to an organized mob when I can get further ahead on my own merits?

Let The Free Market Decide


Although recent healthcare cuts have left me with huge co-pays and no dental or eye coverage, my wife got a job to help pay the difference. Childcare for our two children is taken care of by my sister-in-law who lost her job last year due to the Clinton-Gore recession.

She's more than willing to take on the task for $20 a day rather than resort to any liberal welfare plan, and I'm sure our kids are in good hands, as well as the other 6 kids she babysits and the 3 of her own. That plus the child support she gets after her husband left her for the treasurer at the church leaves her pretty well off, and it's all tax free.

On the two days a week she has to clean house for a local businessman, I save the forty bucks and have my parents watch the kids. They have more time on their hands since dad retired and mom always fixes them a good meal before they come home. This gives them the added opportunity to stay active in their golden years and now mom doesn't have to sit and watch "The Price Is Right" while dad putters around in the garage.

In a Republican family, everybody pitches in!


I was always a conservative, but I really got revved up for the Republican party during the 90s after hearing El-Rushbo explain the dangers of activist judges. These liberals get appointed to the bench with an agenda. They act all "moderate" until they get the job, then they set about legislating from the bench by continuing abortion on demand and upholding rights for homosexuals. What the country needs now are fair and conservative judges that will use the courts to change the laws and ban these perverse practices and return the land to Americans by requiring an English speaking school prayer and allowing concealed weapons. If we could all carry guns, we won't even need judges because all the bad guys will be dead and there won't be trials or prisons.

It's about Rule Of Law!


In the evening me and my wife like to go to shopping at Wal Mart. They save me a lot of money with their low, low prices, and it really steams the liberals who get all weepy-eyed because they don't pay the help much and import from China. If the associates didn't want the jobs they wouldn't work there, so it must not be that bad. Wal Mart also uses illegal aliens to keep costs down, but once we build that wall on the Mexican border they won't be able to get in and Americans will have to take those jobs. As a plus, Wal Mart supports the troops and I don't think you can be more American than that so they'll get my money every time

That's Free Enterprise!


On 9/11 I saw George Bush stand on a pile of rubble with a bullhorn and announce to the world that he was coming after the people that did that. I knew he wouldn't rest until we hunted down and killed every last evildoer we find on the Central Front. "Saddam Insane" learned the hard way just how serious he was on that fall day, and when every last terrorist in the world is dead we can declare victory in the War On Terror, and laugh in the Euro-Weenies face. These "homicide bombers" will soon come to realize that we will hunt them down and kill them wherever they hide, but the Democrats would have us leave Iraq before the job is done.

They Just Don't Get It!


As a patriot I have a hard time tolerating the haters who bash the Commander In Chief by claiming he lies. What is it about "respecting the office" they don't understand? This is the President of the United States! They're disrespecting the leader of the free world, and they just don't seem to care about the message they send to our enemies with this spurious slander. Remember he's not the Republican president, he's OUR president and we have to stand with him.
These lefties who disrespect the president deserve to return to the days of that pathological liar Clinton and his wife Hitlery who had people killed that got in their way! That sex addict would have the Alabama State Patrol pull over women so he could have sex with them in his limo!
Short memories of the miserable '90s lead many to forget how corrupt the government was in those days and they should be glad now that the grown-ups are in charge!

Happy Days Are Here Again!


For the satirically impaired: While this is a fictional study of a typical working class conservative, I could send it to any newspaper in the country and gain kudos from every freeper in town. How can you argue with them when they contradict themselves in every paragraph.

7. After the first sentence, I was ready to write a rebuttal
and then I realized it was satire. Sadly, I fear your arguments would be things that many would agree with--except the Clinton bashing. Here in my part of Arkansas, even the repukes have a soft spot for Bill-they'd simply call him an immoral draft dodger but not a murderer.

11. K&R!!!1!
What's pathetic beyond belief, is that something we consider a total joke, they lead their lives by. They'd read this and be like "Yeah! Now you're talking some sense, you stupid lib!" while we just put our heads in our hands and laugh at the ironically-impaired twit.

I cannot WAIT until this fucking nightmare ends once and for all . . . IF it ends and we don't see Bill Frist with his hand on the bible on Jan 20th, sealing the Theocracy/CNP hell we're all going to be put through. PLEASE wake up Dumberica, PLEASE!

12. Just one correction, Clinton was from Arkansas and the 'truth' was
that he used the Arkansas State Police to procure women.

15. It's actually a composite of ideals I get from Repub friends...
I sit in on discussions at the local tavern and spend so much of the time glancing toward the ceiling I'm considering repainting it.

16. My favorite watering hole
was just about destroyed by Katrina but we'll have her up and running again in the spring. The clientele was quite a snapshot of Americana (young, old, liberal, conservative, union, veterans and on and on.) I did my best to piss off bush supporters and was very successful at it. They just could not understand how a military retiree could have the audacity to question the resume of one so great as their hero. And my veteran status befuddled their chickenhawk asses. One other old crotchety vet who was more conservative then Attila the Hun was my best buddy in the place. Nobody fucked with either one of us when the other was in the joint. What a country.

24. I love the part about the grandparents tending the kids.
Yes, that's just what every grandparent dreams of, raising a second family after their own has left the nest. ;)

25. Good Lord, while I figured out it was satire
it does sound like many of my friends, who are very conservative, strict Catholics, especially the parts about God and school prayer and speaking English and the wall along the southern part of the United States.

It makes me laugh, but also makes me want to weep.
