Topic starter
 

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

* 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, but our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

* 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, as do oil companies.

* Global warming is 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 and censoring the Internet.

* 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.

Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck with more Republicans in '06 and '08.
Friends no longer let friends vote Republican

Thank you, Mr. Kerry.

In other news: Funny. Is there a Democrat one too?

Fixed.

And yes, what Rico said.

And SX, I'd laugh at a list against Democrats because, sadly in these times, it's also true.

Third parties are the best solution to the stale status of political parties in the US. 🙂

Oh, the brontosaurus was misidentified, and is now referred to as apatosaurus.


I thought it was brachiosaurus. o_O
Ah, well.

No, it is Apatosaurus, but Brontosaurus is such a better name, wouldn't you agree? =)

Brachiosaurus brings bronchitis to mind. No good.

Apatosaurus reminds me of Pat L. Double the no good.

Brontosaurus just SOUNDS big. Bronto. Bruno. Popeye's archenemy!

Pulling this away from the annoying drama that seems to consume any political-related post...

I thought this was funny 😀 Very amusing satire, thank you for sharing. And I would very much like to see a democratic one if there is one, because though my beliefs tend to lean that way, I think it would be very funny too.

What happened to the time when people could laugh at themselves and move on?

I actually found the satire quite funny. And sorry for the remark Rico, I was just being (a tad too) cheeky.

Just a question to everyone though: who actually went out and denounced gays as evil and/or called for the tarring and feathering of Hilary?

If you see the original post as something other than a satire than you are taking offense at it. As such something on the post most apply to you. I simply used the points I saw brought up as examples. Why does this bother you.

Please refer to my post.

I always thought republicans were more toward strengthening the government and international market while democrats wanted to do more environmental stimulation and make more jobs. of course... in republican acts, more jobs are usually made, and in democratic acts the government is more likely to GIVE THE MILITARY A BREAK. god... i hate working 12 hours every day to fix a jet that isnt even fighting in a war. IT'S MADNESS.

Rico and Acrio believe this is intended as a joke topic and not a debate. I think it was intended as a debate. The topic with the debate has been moved to MG. Any further discussion on this decision should be in EVC.

I wrote a big reply you can read here.

I just had this terrible vision... Luckily we know nothing like that should ever take place in this forum! Especially in a satire topic because duh... #>>#

I'd see the original post as possibly applying more to governmental/party policy (as there is, after all, some evidence that at least some of them actually follow it) than the people who voted for them (many of whom voted because they've always voted Republican, or because they felt Bush would be a nicer guy to have a drink with than his opponent, or any other of the vast number of reasons that the far-too-many articles on the subject seem to suggest).

It does point out a little silliness in some propaganda, though, and to that extent I am amused.

You know that the only reason why we had Brontosaurus was because of The Bone Wars. During this period more Dinosaurs were discovered in America than at any other time.
