What You Need To Believe To Be A Republican



1.    Jesus loves you, and  shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

2.     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.
 
3.    Trade with
Cuba is wrong  because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to  a spirit of international harmony.

4.    The
United States should  get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing  U.N. resolutions against Iraq - not to mention needing their help with the debacle in Lebanon.

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.    The best way to improve  military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans'  benefits and combat pay.

7.    If condoms are kept out of  schools, adolescents won't have sex.

8.    A good way to fight  terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation  and money.  (
Lebanon, repeated)

9.     Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing  health care to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have  the best interests of the public at heart.

10.  Global warming and tobacco's link  to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools. 

11.  A president lying  about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense, but a president lying  to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy. 

12.  Government should  limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and eaves dropping without a warrant.

13.  The public has a right to know about  Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our  business.

14.  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. 

15.  Supporting "Executive  Privilege" for every Republican ever born, who will be born or who might be  born (in perpetuity.)

16.   What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but  what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

17.  Support for hunters who shoot their friends  and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the  quail.

 

18.  And in SC, Republicans run on a "so-called" education platform, while supporting a voucher program that would abandon our public schools and help the wealthy get yet another tax break by getting credit for sending their kids to private school!
