How to talk To Republicans: Stanford

By JASON STANFORD
CAGLE CARTOONS NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE
Doesn't it seem like Republicans are wrong about everything these days?
The list of demonstrable malarkey that Republicans hold to be unalienable truths is laughably long: Obama is Kenyan; Obamacare has death panels, increases the deficit, and pays for health care for illegal immigrants; Abortions give you breast cancer and cause pain in fetuses as young as 20 weeks; Iraq had WMDs and Saddam Hussein collaborated with Al Qaeda; Tax cuts increase government revenue; Obama's stimulus created no jobs, and in fact government spending is hurting our economic recovery; If we don't raise the debt ceiling, we can simply prioritize payments and avoid disaster; We are a Christian nation whose forefathers "warned the British" about our gun rights, "worked tirelessly" to abolish slavery, debated Creationism before Charles Darwin even thought of evolution, and never intended to separate church and state; Evolution is not real, and global warming, if it's even happening, isn't our fault.

Think it may be they never hear any good from their leaders and have nothing to cheer about. I am amazed many around me continues to vote against themselves when they are in need of support lime we Dems give them. I have said for years now just because some one is against abortion does not qualify them to hold offices. Great post, loved it.
