UNDERSTANDING REPUBLICANS – A Public Service Announcement

[Segami]

:smoke:


" The Republican Party of today is certainly not the party of Lincoln or Eisenhower or even for that matter the party of Ronald Reagan. Trying to figure out just what the contemporary Republican, who seems to be represented by Tea Partisans, really believes is difficult. We’ve been tracking TV news and have assembled a list of the positions promoted by the Republican Party. All of the following have been advanced by Republican presidential candidates or their supporters in public meetings:



— The uninsured should die

— Don’t let a little thing like evidence get in the way of a hanging

— Social Security is a scam (Rick Perry)

— End all taxes (Michelle Bachmann)

— War, war and more war

— Drill baby drill

— Put women back in the kitchen

— Soldiers in combat fighting for America should be booed, if they’re gay

— Pray the gay away (Bachmanns)

— We love little babies before they’re born but after, let ‘em starve

— Want science? Just read the Bible

— Global warming is a money-making plot (Rick Perry)

— Close down the Government

— Government employees should be fired (remember those 9-11 heroes?)

— 9-11 families are whiners (Glenn Beck is the source of this one)

— Rich people, like Paris Hilton, are job creators

— Corporations have the Constitutional Right to buy elections (Supreme Court says so)

— Taxpayer money should not be used to help regular people but should be given to enrich politicians (Rick Perry)

1. saw this sig line on dailykos the other day

Letting Republicans run the government is like putting Atheists in charge of a church. They don't believe in it, don't care if it works - and they take no responsibility for the results.

2. Most of those you don't need to credit to any of the current candidates

as these have been republican values for a long time.

3. In all human history no political organization has been as detrimental to national interests.

That includes ancient Rome which set the standard and European history in the 19th and 20th century which topped off human excesses. The only milestone missed by the Republican party is widespread systematic genocide I am sure the desire grows in the Republican psyche.

4. I think the problem with Republicans is they can NEVER admit the truth.

To admit the truth.. means they would have to admit that they made a mistake.. lots of mistakes. And a Republican mind is incapable of doing that.

Just like the horrible anti-immigration bill recently passed in Alabama... crops are rotting in the field.

So, Gov Robert Bentley was on CNN.. and he said (paraphrase), "We admit that this bill is awful and it is hurting our farmers.. but, after all, it is a law ..and we will stick to it."

Brilliant Gov Bentley.. just Brilliant. You just shot yourself in the foot and are hurting millions of people who worked hard to raise those crops.. so what do you do? You re-load and go in for more.

Ah.. the Republican/Christian mind in action.

5. Not only are crops rotting in the fields

Some restaurants are closing because they can't get produce at reasonable prices.
