The GOP, the party of the stodgy white men
I got to thinking about who or what they have to offer. White men who will deny women's rights (aided by their token Black) , white men who will keep the rich from being taxed, white men who will keep this insane war going in Iraq. White men who believe they are truly the elitist and ruling class. White men who want to turn this country into a Christian theocracy via the likes of a third rate college, Regent University.
This is what the GOP has cast on our country.

5. Thank you. White stodgy GOP men want nothing to do with gays
Except hope they can figure out a way to ban them or at least take their voting rights away. They have an equal disdain for unmarried pregnant women. Send them to the stocks or something.

7. Rich, white, straight, Christian males.
Five binary factors. Deviate on one and you're an "honorary Republican". Deviate on two or more and you are a Democrat.

8. Ah, one of my favorite songs:
"Conservative, Christian, Right-Wing, Republican, Straight White American Males" - Todd Snider

WAY more catchy than you'd think. :)

Lyrics:

Conservative Christian, right-wing Republican
Straight white American males
Gay-bashing, black-fearing
War-fighting, tree-killing
Regional leaders of sales
Frat-housing, keg-tapping
Shirt-tucking, back-slapping
Haters of hippies like me
Tree-hugging, peace-loving
Pot-smoking, porn-watching
Lazy-ass hippies like me

Tree-hugging, love-making
Pro-choicing, gay-wedding
Widespread diggin' hippies like me
Skin color blinded, conspiracy minded
Protesters of corporate greed
We who have nothing
And most likely will 'til
We all end up locked up in jail
By conservative Christian, right-wing Republican
Straight white American males

Diamonds and dogs, boys and girls
Living together in two separate worlds
Following leaders up mountains of shame
Looking for someone to blame

Diamonds and dogs, boys and girls
Living together in two separate worlds
Following leaders up mountains of shame
Looking for someone to blame
I know who I'd like to blame

Conservative Christian, right-wing Republican
Straight white American males
Soul-saving, flag-waving
Rush-loving, land-paving
Personal friends to the Quayles
Quite diligently working so hard to keep
The free reigns of this democracy
From tree-hugging, peace-loving
Pot-smoking, bare-footing
Folk singing hippies like me
Tree-hugging, peace-loving
Pot-smoking, porn-watching
Lazy-ass hippies like me

Neocons come in all colors and sexes now. When color or sex become an issue- you are a racist and a sexist.
