Republicans are for LESS GOVERNMENT INTRUSION in our lives!!
They are in an uproar that the government might LIMIT THEIR FREEDOMS!!

They are furious that the government thinks it can RUN THEIR LIVES!!

They are up in arms about the government intrusion into our PRIVATE LIVES!!

How dare the government think it knows better than WE do what's best for US?!!


Well, except for medical decisions about life and death. Families shouldn't be able to decide these things. Congress needs to come back from vacations when it comes to cases like Terry Schiavo's to make these decisions, because they know best.

And except for things that things they need to protect us from, like marijuana. Their job is to make sure we can't make decisions like that for ourselves.

And except for sex. The government knows better than we do what kind of sex we should have and with whom -- otherwise, consenting adults could do all sorts of things the government knows shouldn't be done.

And exchanges of sex and money. Again, who knows best -- two consenting adults, or the government? Why, the government, of course!

And women's uteruses. Where would this country be if women had control of their own bodies? These are decisions for the government to make.

And we must elect more Republicans to make sure the government supports freedom of religion for all Christian conservatives, including their freedom to discriminate against other religions.

And a few other things -- freedom to slander, freedom to commit war crimes, freedom to threaten the president, freedom to carry assault weapons on playgrounds, freedom to stalk 9/11 widows, murder doctors, bomb clinics, use "second amendment remedies," etc. -- but other than that, Republicans are the party against government intrusion into our private lives!!


So vote Republican or suffer the Democratic big-government intruders who want to FORCE you to pay for socialized fire departments, socialized police forces, socialized military forces, socialized schools, even socialized government-run government, against your will!! Where will they stop?!?

:sarcasm:

1. They ignore the private sector governance.
Once they go after the private sector trying to set social policy.

Then they can get some support. The private sector, monopoly capitalism, and corporate systems are no different then a government when they set policy and are not regulated by the people.


And you fucks, are going to pay.

3. The repukes are hypocrites...and have been as far back as I can remember.

They are lying, stealing, cheating, unfaithful, murdering, evil hypocrites....and they do not even have enough decency to be even a little shameful about what they do. They glory in it.

4. Or maybe they feel such shame, they feel the need to costume themselves in "Virtue"
and project their hang-ups by pointing fingers at other people, trying to control everyone else since they can't control themselves?

I don't know. I just can't get over the basic factual disconnect of the claim that Democrats are the ones who limit personal freedoms.

9. I find it impossible to believe they feel any shame whatsoever.....
They are the exact kind of person who would literally pee on your shoe, tell you it is raining, try to convince you to buy an umbrella, and then...deny everything when the truth came out...in fact they would most likely blame YOU for being the victim of their scam.

7. Don't forget the freedom to poision us and pollute for profits
and the freedom to wipe entire species and ecosystems off the earth while still claiming to "Honor the Lord and His Creation" and being "Pro-life".

10. They certainly enjoy
controlling uteri. Hypocrisy to the nth degree.

May their homes burn, their bridges collapse, and their roads buckle.

15. They're for less government intrusion. After all - they created the FBI, CIA, NSA, ATF, and TSA.
All designed to "keep us safe". :eyes:
