What You Must Believe To Be a Republican Today
A Great e-mail I received. Pass it on PLEASE :)



"Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:

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.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade
with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body or her own religious beliefs, 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.

If teens don't have condoms, they won't have sex.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
Creationism should be taught in schools.

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 cocaine conviction is none of our business.

Being a drug addict is 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.

You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other
people, we're likely to be stuck with Bush for 4 more years


Friends don't let friends vote Republican."

3. Careful there,
Our man, Kerry, is the primary reason there is trade with Viet Nam.

4. Whatever. It's the hypocrisy of trading with one communist
nation but not the other that is the focus of the statement.

Just prior to 911, I was researching poorer nations and how to increase trade with them. It really is a better way to "win hearts and minds" than blowing up people's homes and children.
