Things you have to believe to be a Republican today....
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
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.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq and Iran
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
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.
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
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.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages, censoring the Internet and electronic surveillance of innocent Americans.
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
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.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

What is even more perplexing to me is, amazing portion of population seems to believe in them, quoting them, following them. It's the fear of course, and this administration knows just how to use it.
Thanks for your effort in enlightening others.
I suppose you've not taken the time to read on the rest of my blog (including the lead post here today) where I cite republicans, quote them, agree with them, etc. I was a registered republican for longer than I've been a registered democrat.
No, I am talking about republicans today who support Bush and the filth that report to them. The republicans of today who have brought America to second-tier status and dropping rapidly. The republicans of today who out spies as acts of political revenge or praise the troops in speeches while cutting their benefits. The republicans of today who call anyone who disagrees with them "baby-killers", or "terrorist-coddlers" or "flag-burners" or "traitors", but who when challenged are afraid to respond to the issues discussed, so instead come up with cowardly side-step maneuvers like "gee, you're filled with hate."
