This is actually a semi-serious list.
10. The GOP started the recession and also started much of the stimulus spending that conservatives are now complaining about. Personally I like the fact that there was stimulus money, but like the funds for rebuilding Iraq, the GOP mishandled them once again and let the foxes run the henhouse. In Iraq some 10’s of millions of dollars just went poof!
9. The GOP is not an inclusive organization. So unless you are European white or really, really rich (and maybe not then!) you will only be a token to them.
8. The Fringe right is taking over the GOP and you have real nut cases running for high office. Most of these people are not capable of running their own lives, much less serving in Congress.
7. The GOP takes stands that are not based on the Constitution or reality. The separation of church and state in the Constitution is pretty clear. They keep trying to muddy the waters with statements about the US being a Christian country. Sorry religious right, the US has never been a Christian country. That’s the whole point of separation of church and state. You don’t get religion dictating law and you don’t get government dictating worship. STFU, you idiots!
6. They lie. Then they lie about lying. Then they lie about lying about lying. Examples abound of GOP leaders saying things that are patently not true. They say with a straight face knowing full well that it is a lie, and then they say it again. But six months later when they are asked about it since it has been proven to be false and they were caught out, they deny they ever said it…. Specific Examples: Anything coming out of John, the orange, Boner or Bitch McConnell’s mouth.
5. This is not your father’s GOP … Nor you mother’s nor even a majority of those people who still think of themselves as Republicans’ GOP. This is the GOP of the NeoCon cheats and the Tea Party wing-nuts. Or it belongs to Rush Limpballs. At any rate, the GOP does not belong to you. You are just a dot on their page. And if you’re under 40 and a Republican, then you probably have been left out in the cold by your party, and you need to take it back and stop it from doing really stupid shit. Either that or you have had a lobotomy and should vote at all.
4. The GOP hasn’t had an original idea since Teddy Roosevelt left to form the Bull Moose Party. The same economics that Calvin Coolidge and Hoover were pushing that brought us the Great Depression are the same theories and policies that the current crop are pushing… It failed them and it failed during the Bush years as well.
3. Corporations love the GOP because the GOP generally takes care of them by passing legislation that benefits them. Prime examples are the Bush Tax Cuts for Corporation. Corporate Tax rates are somewhere around 35%, most which they never pay because of loop holes that allow for all kinds of sweet exclusions and adjustments. If you wonder why your personal taxes are so high, just look at the fact that corporate tax rates are seemingly so low compared to other countries in the world. The pattern continues, with other laws past and new ones that the GOP pushes for allowing more off-shoring of jobs with no tax penalties. Best idea is an Alternative Minimum Tax for corporations. After all, the Supreme Court says that corporations have the same rights as you do, so they should have the same responsibilities too.
2. FOX News not only reports on GOP stuff, they create it as much as they report. Bill-O, Glenn Beck and others on that Network continue to push the people that Fox Execs want and to ignore or make shit up about the ones they don’t. All that ACORN stuff was proven to be a total scam where the people filming it all went in and then doctored the results. Then the woman who told that story on herself at the NAACP meeting getting all that flack for being a racist? Come on, the people at Fox News are the biggest racists in the country, next to Limpballs, that is. But if they call everyone else one and scream it loud enough there are still people who believe them. Incredible!
1. If you vote for a Republican in the next election and are not a really rich white guy, then you are voting against your best interests. You cannot expect any progress, social, economic or in any way to happen if you have more Republicans in Congress. All you can expect is more “No” and nothing getting passed ever again. Because the GOP are big babies and bad losers. If they can’t have their way, they are pick up the ball and go home. Babies!!! Just look at John McCain. At one point in his career, somewhere around 1995 or 2000, he was someone who actually did work both sides of the aisle. Not now, not today, and looks like not ever again. If the GOP won't work with the opposition, then the GOP needs to go home and go to bed and let the Adults get to work. QED
