Republican Kool-Aid

Here's some really funny ones (not mine, from about.com)
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.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national 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.
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 and insurance companies 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 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 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.
You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
laugh at a joke "DON'T anaylize it "

Think I would like to add a corollary to: "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."
When the repubs nominate Patraus, all will be forgotten, enenthough what Clinton did will still be evil.

How about a President who has subordinates lie to cover up the details involving a terrorist attack prior to his reelection. Oh....sorry wrong party. 8-)

An other 4 years of putting each other down I see,
I was woundering what would we say to our children
if they would be putting each other down as we do.
It reminds me of the so called Adults at work that
will punish their child for writting on the ice box
with a crayon, yet he'll write his filth on the rest
room walls at work and doesn't see anything wrong.
Another 4 more years, a New Year will be apon us soon
and I hope that we will be wiser in this one. Let's
hope that we will act more like children, then we will
as ADULTS. OUR CHILDREN ARE HOPEING AS WELL.

I suggest we stop reciting the thousands of examples of hypocrisy on both sides and start reciting the Constitution that has made us such a great country. We seem to have forgotten all the important parts.

Obviously our views are colored by the Kool Aid we each drink from our favorite political party. While I happen to like the original post, I'm sure someone could be just as imaginative (tho not yet, so far) with the "recipe", as it were, with my own Democratic Kool-Aid. I could actually learn something from a well-done recipe, and alter my views accordingly, but not if it talks about socialism and nonsense like that. No mention of 47 per centers, or leeches, just how some progressive viewpoints may be flawed.

Tschmath, I have tried desperately to engage democrats in discussion of issues with very limited success, so I would welcome such a discussion. I remain completely baffled why voters could look at the last 4 years and choose continued mediocrity. i don't consider myself a republican, more of a constitutional conservative. The only way to make a discussion work is to focus on one topic at a time. So if you'd like to go forward, pick a topic and start. Or start a new thread for the topic and I will respond.

What % of each party are looking out for you:
Democrate Party ------
Republican Party -----
What % of each party are looking out for themselves
only:
Democrate Party ------
Republican Party -----
Other reasons -----------
Be honest in your answer, if we can agree that both
parties are in it mostly to help themselves, then we may
beable to agree on something. Try to end up with
200% after adding all 6 lines.
My take is :
Looking out for me:
Dem. 25%
Rep. 30%
Looking out for them selves :
Dem. 75%
Rep. 70%
Other reasons:
Dem. 0%
Rep. 0%
-------------
200%
This poll is just for fun.

Larry, I'll add to this, borrowing from a JFK theme. What % of the voters are looking out for their country vs looking out for themselves? I used to blame the politicians until I finally realized that they are just doing what gets them the most votes.
