Section: Washington State Topic: Repubs

I can't help myself but in the spirit of true democracy and school bus drivers, I'm making a well-recognized gesture of assessment at both Bush and 8th District Marionette Reichert. Some things are worth passing on and are so true that it would be sinful not to shout it out. The following is one of those things that someone sent Lietta who forwarded it to me. ... and I'm playing it forward

Things you have to believe to be a Republican today.....

or, as I would have titled it 15 Dumbass Beliefs of Highly Dumbass People

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

Republican Belief #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.

Republican Belief #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.

Republican Belief #4
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

Republican Belief #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.

Republican Belief #6
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

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

Republican Belief #8
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

Republican Belief #9
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing healthcare to all Americans is socialism.

Republican Belief #10
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

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

Republican Belief #12
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

Repupblican Belief #13
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.

Republican Belief #14
You support states' rights, but the Attorney General can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

Republican Belief #15
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Honk if you've had enough septic pumping into our national consciousness.

Vote if you're willing to do something about it!

And this ...

...for the holier-than-thou-crowd crowing about troops with hurt feelings.

Repuglicans started this whole negative lack-of-dialogue crap.

Wannabe "peace celebrities" among repuglican opponents are on their soap boxes with their "We-are-too-polarized-to-communicate-so-we've-got-to-stop-resisting-them" pop-psycho-pretend-statesmanship blather. It's still too early for that.

That time is not here yet. The bouncers still need to do their jobs and throw the bums out.

We delude ourselves if we think the time to start acting peaceful, regretful and anxious to stop talking nasty has arrived.

Not yet .... not yet ... they are still farting in public on purpose. Still need to be bounced out of the building before trying to talk wisdom and sense with them in "dialogue."

That'll happen when they are all out in the cold or in treatment.

The following from Steve Young Blog on Huffpo

Within any problem lies an answer, so said Einstein.
Kerry botches a joke about Bush. Republicans demand an apology to the troops and their families.
A problem for Democrats? Only if they don't seek the answer inside the problem.

Got any more? Keep sending them in. I'll be added them to the list and shipping the bunch of 'em to the DNC.
If they don't use them, then we do have a problem. With them.

Only the fake outrage gets aired in the media

The real outrage is mocked and scorned.

We get only the apologies made under duress for imagined slights. The real crimes have gone unchallenged and unapologized.

And let's not forget

Republican Belief #16:

When all else fails, if you get caught, be sure to blame it on alcohol, or being gay, or a combination of both.
