Republican Beliefs

If you want to vote Republican, you have to believe the following:

-Using stem cells for medial research is wrong, because you don't believe in destroying life, even if it lives in a petri dish. But it's OK to destroy larger forms of life in unnecessary wars and prison execution chambers.
-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.
-The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
-Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.
-"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India, while collecting several more millions for your CEO.
-A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
-Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
-The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay and making wounded soldiers pay for their own meals while recuperating.
-Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.
-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.
-HMOs, insurance companies, drug manufacturers and power plants all have the interest of the public at heart.
-Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
-Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in public schools.
-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.
-A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to start a war is solid defense policy.
-Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages, banning teaching of evolution, compelling public prayer and censoring the Internet.
-The public has a right to know about Hillary Clinton's cattle trades and private health care meetings, but George Bush's driving record and Dick Cheney's private energy task force meetings are none of our business.
-It's justifiable to seal your records if you're a Republican governor of Texas, but not if you're a Democratic governor of Vermont.
-You support states' rights, which means the Attorney General can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.
-You support states' rights, except when a state decides to recount votes in a disputed Presidential election. Then, it's better for a Republican Supreme Court to decide the election.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what George W. Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant.
-Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is under a Communist dictatorship, but trade with China and Vietnam are vital to a spirit of international harmony.
-When a Democratic Presidential candidate wins a 49% plurality in a 3-way race, his presidency isn't legitimate. But when a Republican Presidential candidate receives half a million fewer votes than his opponent in a head-to-head race, he has a mandate for an extremist agenda.

Top 20 Reasons to Vote John McCain

20. Most of Rambo: First Blood Part II was based on John McCain’s life.
19. UFC changed from a bloody spectacle to a legitimate spectator sport because of rule changes demanded by legislation by Senator McCain.
18. He knows how to fly a plane, shoot guns, kill people in less than 8 seconds, and generally fuck up your shit.
17. He can’t physically raise his arms, but he doesn’t need arms to put a foot in congress’s ass.
16. A lot of today’s campaign finance laws were enacted or supported by McCain.
15. McCain has NO problem responding to personal attacks or challenges with a rock-solid explanation and a “fuck you” for color. (See: His response to charges of carpetbagging when he first ran for a Congressional seat in Arizona.)
14. “I am older than dirt and have more scars than Frankenstein.”
13. He was one of only 3 senators to ever host Saturday Night Live. He’s also appeared on The Daily Show numerous times, and even offered to bring host Jon Stewart an IED.
12. He was actually a lightweight boxer.
11. He doesn’t believe in apologizing. Well, except for joking that Chelsea Clinton was ugly because her dad is Janet Reno. But holy shit, that was funny.
10. Is religious, but is most certainly not a pawn of the religious right. (He’s questioned their motivation often, even calling some “sons of bitches” in writing.)
9. John McCain rhymes with John McClane. Coincidence?
8. He supports the death penalty.
7. McCain has historically voted against big business.
6. He’s taken shrapnel to the chest. What’ve you ever taken to the chest, besides Vicks Vapo-Rub?
5. McCain has historically supported Native Americans with legislation providing land and tax cuts.
4. McCain was one of the major supporters of the ‘96 Line Item Veto Act, giving the President the ability to look at add-ons to bills and knock them the fuck out. (For example, a pay raise for Senators tacked onto federal aid for Hurricane victims or something.)
3. John McCain spent five and a half years in a POW camp, where his hair turned white, his teeth were broken, and his arms were broken so many times, he’d never again be able to raise them over his head. He refused to sign the Viet Cong’s “confessions”, and in fact, when he told them he’d give up names of his squadron, he wrote down the names of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line.
2. Arnold Schwarzenegger is backing him.
1. He’s not Barack.
