Republican Ethics

Republican Ethics - for your edification.

1. 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.

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

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money, but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

4. The government has no business telling me I can't have guns, but when you want to exercise freedom of choice, then it's time for a Constitutional amendment.

5. George W (6% unemployment, $87+ billion to Iraq, half-trillion dollar deficit) is doing a great job getting us out of the economic mess that Clinton (3.8% unemployment, peace, huge surplus) got us into.

6. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

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

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

9. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

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

11. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

12. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

13. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing
health care to all Americans is socialism.

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

15. 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 couldn't find Bin Laden.

16. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying about nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

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

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

19. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.

20. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant.

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

22. We have to run background checks on every Muslim traveler to the U.S. because those b*****ds killed 2,800 Americans on 9/11, but a background check on gun buyers? No way! 15,000 gun-related deaths in the U.S.? C'mon. Guns don't kill people; people kill people.

23. We're leaving no child behind. Entire public school systems, that's another story.

24. Americans shouldn't buy imported goods, but other countries should all buy our stuff.

25. The Right is still bashing a president who's been out of office for three years, who made our economy healthy, and who didn't alienate the rest of the world's leaders. The minute anyone says anything about little Georgie, it's wrong.

26. John Ashcroft can spy on you, tap your phone, check your email, even search your home. An independent investigation into the administration? Not a chance.

I agree with many of the points you made but not all. Our country is so divided at this point--most people are all Dem or all Rep with few in the middle ground.

with trying to stake out the middle ground is that there is no Political Party that covers that piece of turf. We need a Centrist Party in this Country for those of us not comfortable with the far left leaning of the Democrats and the right leaning Republicans.

Lies:

George W (6% unemployment, $87+ billion to Iraq, half-trillion dollar deficit) is doing a great job getting us out of the economic mess that Clinton (3.8% unemployment, peace, huge surplus) got us into.

The reason we are spending 87 bilion is Iraq is Clinton did nothing to enforce the UN sanctions,he cut defense spending ,the FBI and CIA.

unemployment % ? 3.8% 6% ? both if they existed lasted only one month.

Why is it so hard to get it through to liberals that it was the policy of the Clinton administration that allowed 9-11 to happen.What would you think happens to the economy when you bring down the 2 tallest buildings in the US?

And they still think Bush stoled the election! :lol:

Peace

Big rolling of my eyes here. Was this some sort of joke or is this how you really feel? Let me know, because I'd love to come back at every one of your "points".

Why don't you go ahead and do it, just for the fun of it? I'd like to see how well you do.

What are you trying to do WILL? Because if you're just attacking, then it must stop!

Something was posted...MrsChad responded saying the entire thing was incorrect and stated that if need be, she'll explain why. I went ahead and asked her why. What's wrong with that?

OK...sorry I'm just a bit on edge...after that last topic you posted...

I didn't put myself on the line, implying that the beliefs held by others were stupid. I'm simply requesting that the person who did...qualify their message with an explanation as to why they think we're stupid.

That list was pretty funny, but of course it is tongue-in-cheek and for the most part ridiculously partisan and not meant to be taken as a true ideological attack on conservatism. Lighten up, guys, there is no need to respond point-by-point... it is intended to provide comic relief, not a rise in blood pressure.

K, I will remember that lil quote of yours later brett when you go back over to your "home" and post links to threads here about liberalism and attack it.

And you missed the point. She never put herself on the line. You are just following her around asking for trouble.

That isn't my point; people here frequently post little novelty lists such as these attacking Kerry or other Democrats, and I don't take it as an attack on ideology, just a ridiculous list to get people riled up. I am never offended by such posts nor do I take them seriously.

By the way, your unprovoked attack was clearly a violation of your rules IMO.

The Admin was stating his point to you brett. Truth is truth.

I feel you made some good points. Alot of people are to narrow minded to probably read past the first few. There seems to be a mentality here of my president right or wrong. I am not saying everyone, but a few of the extreme right.

Yeah, I can vote.
