15 Reasons Why I Voted Republican
1. I voted Republican because you can blame problems on poor people instead of the rich ones who actually run things.
2. I voted Republican because firefighters and teachers are scum-sucking leaches, but the oil companies raking in record profits NEED those hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidies.
3. I voted Republican because I believe companies like my cable TV provider, insurance company and credit card company could do a better job running the country than the government, no matter how much they screw me over.
4. I voted Republican because I don’t trust the government, although I favored the government spying on my health/financial records and tapping my phone when Bush was in office to keep us safe from ‘trrists.
5. I voted Republican because I don’t really care whether terrorists, murderers and drug dealers own guns or not.
6. I voted Republican because I believe climate change doesn’t exist; if I can’t see it with my own two eyes, it doesn’t exist. Like gravity.
7. I voted Republican because I hate women having abortions, but once the baby is born and dies from a preventable illness that’s okay.
8. I voted Republican because I believe in laying off workers to boost profits; then I get to complain about lazy unemployed people.
9. I voted Republican because I understand capitalism. Demand doesn’t increase jobs…ensuring corporations pay no taxes and cutting healthcare and education does.
10. I voted Republican because I care about the deficit and support cutting services that I really need. But extra tax cuts for the super rich that actually caused the deficit should be extended indefinitely.
11. I voted Republican because I believe in never having to solve any problems in the government because I insist government is the problem anyway.
12. I voted Republican because I hate activist judges, unless they are conservative (Yes, corporations should get to spend unlimited money in elections).
13. I voted Republican because spite and fear is better than hope and change.
14. I voted Republican because I agree that life begins at the moment of conception and ends at birth, and women are incapable of making their own reproductive choices.
15. I voted Republican because B. Hussein Obama is a secret Kenyan born Muslim negro far left wing extremist liberal socialist with a dark evil secret agenda to destroy America, take my guns, ammunition and freedom, and turn them all over to Islamic extremists and homosexuals who will rob, rape and murder me, my wife, my girlfriends, and my children, and force the abortion of my unborn children.

The Christian Taliban Leader of the United States of America
The Republican 2012 Platform In Brief
On Women: All of your uterus are belong to us.
On Social Security: All of your pensions are belong to us and will be handed to Mitt Romney in Tax cuts.
On Medicare: Phase out, first we will take it from the under 50s and once its gone for them it will be easy to cut it for seniors.
On Health Care: We have a health care plan - you die.
On Foreign Policy: Bomb, Bomb Iran
On the Economy: Its tax cuts all the way down but only for the 1%
On the Environment: Drill baby, drill.
On Social Issues: Hate baby, hate.
On the environment:Pollute, baby, pollute; and
Steal, baby, steal all natural resources for the 1%.
Reform: Give me your money.
Restructuring: Give me more of your money.
Deficit reduction: Give me ALL of your money.
Keeping America safe: Give defense contractors all of your money.
Medicare reform: Give the insurance industry all of your money.
Social Security reform: Give bankers all of your money.
American values: You don’t have enough money to give me. You need to work harder and longer to make more money to give me.
Entrepreneur: A person who becomes rich by manipulating the government and markets to force people to give him their money.
Education reform: My kids need to become Wall Street “entrepreneurs.” You need to send your children to work in the coal mines so you can give me more money to send my kids to Harvard.
Banker: a person who takes your money to “save” for his personal use. You get nothing in return.
Investment Banker: A person who takes your money to gamble with. If he wins he keeps the profits. If he loses, you give him more money. If you refuse to give him more money, he’ll have the government take it from you to give to him. You get nothing in return.
Conservative: All that is good and wonderful in the world. If they are already rich, they deserve all of your money. If they are poor they deserve to tell you to give all of your money to rich conservatives and threaten you with guns, if necessary, to get you to comply.
Liberal: All that is evil in the world. We should take all of their money.
Conservative intellectual: A person who tells conservatives what they want to hear in terms that a five-year-old can understand, that can fit easily onto a bumper sticker, and are easily memorized and repeated ad infinitum. No actual education required.
Liberal intellectual: A person who has an extensive education, several post graduate degrees, and can speak in complete sentences. Never to be trusted.
Education: Learning the Republican party line and repeating it ad infinitum. No thought required.
Liberal education: Learning actual facts and functional cognitive skills like debate, logic and deduction. A waste of time when you can just memorize the bumper stickers.
Christianity: Following the teachings of a television preacher who may or may not have ever read the Bible, but who talks like he has. The television preacher deserves all of your money.
Heathen: A person who follows the teachings of some untrustworthy fake, such as Jesus Christ, Buddha, Moses or Mohammed. See liberal. We should take all of their money and convert them to “Christianity.”
Gun: The most wonderful object in the universe. The source of all joy and security. You can never have enough powerful and enormous and long, and hard, — oh! so very hard! and hot, so hot! Oh! I’m going to shoot! Oh, yes! I’m going to shoot! my gun! Oh!
Gay: What a conservative “Christian” is so totally not! Not ever. Nuh-uh! I would never even look at one. Even if he didn’t know I was looking. Looking so hard. So long and hard. At him. And his muscles. And his sweat. Oh! Oh! Uh oh! Where is my gun? Oh!
On Justice: Torture until they confess and can be executed. When in doubt, taser.
On Immigration: Not applicable.
On Poverty: Not applicable.
On Crime: Kill baby, kill. Unless you’re a bankster plutocrat, then it’s “Please, help yourself to another few hundred billion dollars.”
On Justice: Arrest == Convicted. It’s so much easier when you don’t have to worry about that pesky Due Process or Rule of Law stuff.
On Elections: If you’re not voting straight ticket Republican, you have no business voting at all, so vamoose or risk “Justice.”
On Defense: We need to be spending eleventy quintillion-gajillion dollars a year… then double it every year after that. Stop looking at us like we’re crazy.
On the Deficit: It doesn’t count if it’s spending on defense or wars. But we can’t afford to give Defense eleventy quintillion-gajillion dollars AND keep grandma out of cat-food so shut up.
On Education: Here’s a Bible. It is the last textbook you will ever need… or be allowed.
On Science: See ‘On Education.’
On Culture and Literature: Didn’t you see ‘On Education’?
On Regulations: If mercury was actually bad for us, it wouldn’t be so shiny. And have you seen the gorgeous colors possible in lead-based paints? Stop being such wusses.
On Labor: Child labor.
On LGBT rights: Uganda, showing us the path to our own Final Solution.
On Religion: If you’re not a fundamentalist Christian, you need to start packing, now!
On Religion and Politics: God will damn you if you don’t vote Republican.
Jesus only loves Conservatives. God created Republicans to destroy Liberals (and any other creed that they’re scared of.)
Foreign Policy: All our drone are watching you, flying over you, can bomb you.
Domestic policy: see foreign policy.
GOP agenda: A quick mercy-killing killing of the 99% with a single sling of the hatchet.
Democratic agenda: We are the lesser of the two evils. We enable a slow killing of the 99% percent; much like the painful and endendingly agonious death brough on by any of the terminal cancers.

Where Are The Women?
“The photo of the all male birth control witness panel tells the story that today’s GOP do not value women’s religious freedom and do not respect their consciences on such a subject.”

"So why would President Obama cave in to the non-constitutional and unpopular demands of the Catholic Klan of the Red Skull Caps — only to have the bishops reject Obama’s compromise? When did compromising with religious fascists ever get them to back down?"

“At a recent campaign stop in Colorado, a young boy asked Santorum what the candidate can do to make medicine more affordable, and he was also challenged by the a mother who was worried that parents in her child’s cancer ward can’t pay for life-saving treatment. Instead of taking a pause from scripted talking points, Santorum seemed annoyed and proceeded to lecture the family about the tough spot lucrative drug companies are in these days.”
“While Catholic bishops made life miserable for Sen. John Kerry over the issue of abortion during the 2004 presidential election, so far we have not heard from any Catholic leaders challenging Mr. Santorum’s public disagreement with his Church on immigration reform, government programs that protect the most vulnerable, racial justice or his blind faith in free markets. Perhaps Santorum’s latest knife to the back of compassionate conservatism will wake up some religious leaders.” — John Gehring
Jesus Versus Republican Presidential Candidates
“The Republican candidates all claim to be devout Christians. But between the compassionate teachings of Jesus and their coldhearted, mean-spirited ideology, there is a great gulf.” — Gary Kamiya, Salon

What Ladies Do With Their Ladies' Parts Without The Pope's Permission
“I think it says a lot about this country that there are so many of my fellow Papists — especially my fellow Irish-Catholic papists — involved in our great national dialogues there days. Sure have come a long way from No Irish Need Apply and all that. Now, if you all would be so kind, please shut the fk up about birth control, abortion, and this neverending madness about what ladies do with their lady parts without the pope’s permission.
At the very least, please stop going on my television set and telling me what “the Catholic position” is on the fact that the president has told various Catholic institutions — and told them quite gently, too — that, yes, if they want all those nice juicy tax advantages, they must abide by the federal law and, in their capacities as employers, make contraceptives available to their employees under the new Affordable Care Act.
There is no “Catholic position” on this issue. There are the opinions of the clerical bureaucrats, accessories after the fact, and the members of the Clan of The Red Beanie, and then there is the opinion of the overwhelming majority of Catholic laypeople, who stopped listening to anything the Vatican said on the matter of birth control back in 1965. (And recall that the Second Vatican Council emphasized that the Church consisted of the entire people of God, which means the opinion of the overwhelming majority of Catholic people, acting out of their own conscience on this issue, matters as much or more than the opinion held by the temporary holders of clerical offices not mentioned in any of the Gospels.) — Charles Pierce, Esquire Magazine
