What tripe? It's all true.


The scary thing is you swallow all that propagandist junk, hook, line
and sinker.

The tripe you posted is about as true as this, and surely just as
childish-


You just might be a Republican if....


...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.

True in essence.


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

I'm with you on this one.


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

God damn it, Clintong LIED WHILE UNDER OATH TO A FEDERAL JUDGE! The
subject of the lie is unimportant.


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

This is not a Republican belief.


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

I'm with you on this one, too.


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

Nope, providing health care to anyone is socialism.


..global warming is junk science, but creationism should be taught in
schools.

Global warming is junk science.


..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.

Or a Hollywood celebrity.


...You're pro-life, pro-death penalty, and pro-war, as long as it
doesn't effect you personally.

I'm not "pro-life", and no one is "pro war". But some of us are mature
enough to understand that war is sometimes necessary.


...When Democrats running for president attack President Bush, you
start whining and complaining like a little baby about so-called
"vicious rhetoric, " yet you apparently had no problem
with vicious and brutal rhetoric against Clinton all throughout the
1990's.

Not me. I think I'm the only one who seems to recognize that politics
is a blood sport, and so-called "vicious attacks" have been made
against political opponents since the 1700s.


....you STILL have that Dole/Kemp sticker on your Lincoln.

Wrong on both counts.


...the numbers on the buttons you use to tune in Fox News have been
worn off the remote for your cable box have been completely worn away.

Wrong again.


....you were outraged when Kitty Dukakis admitted to having a drinking
problem, but don't understand why folks aren't more forgiving of Rush
for getting a rush from pain pills.

I pitied her, I wasn't outraged.

...you think anything bush says is the gospel and any criticism is the
work of the lying liberals.

Nope, I don't like Bush, either.


...Ann Coulter gives you a "woody".

No, she's skin and bones. But she's funny.


...You refuse to use any product that has directions that say it
should be used 'liberally'

..You've never read the constitution, but feel you know exactly what
it says.

I have read the Constitution, and I can quote you the 2nd and 4th
amendments verbatim.


...you think signing 152 death warrants is something Jesus would have
done

This is just stupid.


...you think *** Cheney actually gives a damn about anyone else but
himself and his cronies.

Yes I do.


...You're pro-life AND pro-death penalty

I already said I'm not pro life.


...It's snowing in December; it must be Clinton's fault

More blatant stupidity.


...you truly believe that the current GOP is the party of Lincoln

As much as the current Democrats are the party of FDR and JFK.


......your hands are silky smooth and you've never had a blister.

A little class warfare to round things out?


...you'd prefer that a woman give birth to an ancephalic baby than
allow her to have an abortion (that means the baby HAS NO BRAIN, you
idiot).

I know what anacephalic means. It means "votes Democrat"


...you find the FOX News Channel to be "fair and balanced."

More fair and balanced than NPR, which is publicly funded and
therefore has a mandate to be fair and balanced.


...You think WWII started in 1941

...You think Sean Penn, the Dixie Chicks, Martin Sheen and all those
"Hollywood liberals" should just shut the hell up, but Charlton
Heston, Ted Nugent, and the Arnold? can say what they want

I think they all should shut up and dance like they're paid to do.


...you defend the very rich while you live in a trailer.

I don't live in a trailer, and I defend the rights of anyone to keep
what they have earned.


...you're against abortion rights AND welfare for those children born
to those unable to support them.

You're just beating that abortion issue to death.


...you've never looked up the definition of 'liberal', but you know
it's gotta have something to do with commies.

The dictionary definition of "liberal" has very little to do with how
it's used in today's political arena.


...you recently sent a letter to Bush suggesting that the next target
in the 'War on Terror' should be the DNC National HQ.

No I haven't, but that's not a bad idea. Better dead than red!


...It takes you up to five times as long to drive anywhere, because
you refuse to go left, even when driving!

...when you saw Tiger Woods standing on the golf course for the first
time on TV, you automatically assumed he was the caddie

You're projecting your inherent racism again.


...You believe if it weren't for the U.S. the French would be speaking
German,

True.

without realizing that if it weren't for the French we'd all
be speaking Cherokee

Also true, in essence.


...you have a 'Be American, buy American!' bumper-sticker on your BMW.

I own a Mazda and a Buick.


...you oppose universal health care. In your way of thinking, people
who can't afford adequate health insurance are just *** out of luck!

I do oppose it.


...when Halloween rolls around, you turn out all the lights in your
house and hide in the basement. You won't support begging of any kind!

More stupidity.


...when approached by a panhandler, tell them to "get a job!", but
wouldn't dream of giving someone like that a job at your company!

I used to give them money. Then I tried to buy some starving guy a hot
dog at 7-11 instead of giving him cash. He cursed me out.


...to you, having an unqualified Republican in the White House is
better than having a qualified Democrat there.

True. But the current race is a qualified Republican versus an
UNqualified Democrat.


...you honestly feel that changing the name 'French fries' to 'Freedom
fries' will really teach those back-stabbing Frenchies a lesson!

No, I thought it was a stupid gesture.


...you think that France, Germany, Russia, and Turkey have a lot of
nerve thinking they can go around having their own foreign policies
separate from ours!

...you claim to be "pro life" while enthusiastically supporting the
death penalty.

How many other peoples lists did you rip off for this little diatribe?


...you do not remember the French getting out of Viet Nam in 1954 and
not listening to the French in 2003.

...you think that the Federal deficits the Bush administration has are
somehow
different than the Federal deficits of the past blamed on the
Democrats, and are somehow good for the country.

No I don't.


?you are so incredibly worried about the 2nd amendment, but think its
ok when Bush is trashing all other 25 amendments.

How is Bush trashing the 17th amendment? the 16th? the 21st?


...you really believe wealthy business owners will use their enormous
sums of money from dividend tax cuts to create 1.5 million jobs

Damn straight. Because the reason they're wealthy in the first place
is they know how to make their money work for them, like by owning
businesses. Duh.


...you are appalled by Clinton getting some oral sex, but are pleased
when Bush gets bj's everyday from Limbaugh, Hannity, Oreilly, Coulter,
Savage, etc.

More childish stupidity. Someone's been to "The Daily Kos" or
something.



...you bitch and moan about big government while Clinton is in office,
but when government expands under Bush...it's OK

No, it's not, and I've complained about it.


You think it was Clinton?s fault because he signed NAFTA, even though
Bush Sr. was the one that came up with it and more Republicans voted
for it than Democrats.

...when you give a quarter to a street person, you ask them for a
receipt so
you can deduct it from your taxes.

...you did drugs in college, but think we should put first time drug
users in jail and throw away the key.

Nope, I think drugs should be legal. It's not the place of the
government to tell me what I can put into my body.


...you truly believe that restoring accountability to the White House
means it?s all Clinton?s fault.

...you aren't rich, but you really honestly believe you're going to be
someday, somehow

Maybe.


...You think Joe Lieberman is a Democrat.

He's more of a Democrat than Arlen Spector or Olympia Snowe are
Republicans.


From here on they just get more repetitive and even more stupid.



...if you support policies which favor the very rich, even though you
can barely make ends meet, because you are sure that one day you are
going to hit the jackpot and be one of them.

...you'd rather screw the country than an intern

...you're on Medicare, need prescription drug help & still voted for
the
village idiot (Bush)

...you laughed at Pigboy Limbaugh and SNL for making fun of
13-year-old
Chelsea Clinton, but seem to think that the Bush girls ought to be
"left alone" despite criminal activity

... You think the best way to prevent forest fires is cut down all the
stinkin' trees!

...your idea of compassion is taking off your steel-toed boots before
kicking a homeless person.

...your motto is ?KILL -N- DRILL ".

...you think the Texas Air National Guard was dangerous duty during
the Vietnam War

...you believe anything George Bush says, but think Clinton was a
liar.

...you voted for the grandson of a Nazi sympathizer, who belongs to a
family of known criminals

...you use the words "so human" to describe George W's mangling of the
English language.

...you think that the minimum wage is too high.

...if you vote for a candidate who denigrates his opponents Vietnam
Prisoner of War status.

Interesting to note, Mickey gave a detailed accounting of his thoughts on
the tripe posted by Winston, but as far as I can tell Winston has not.
I'll bet Winston agrees with 90% if the "tripe" posted by Mickey.

BTW, in the interest of fairness Winston is temporarily out of my killfile.
