http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl996 Bad enough they call me a socialist when they don't even know the meaning of the word. But now they want to put in effect some list of 10 things that each Republican party members have to meet 8 of the ten designed to force candidates to prove that they support "conservative principles" while opposing "Obama's socialist agenda." Well let's look at their stupid list.
(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama's "stimulus" bill;
Of course this didn't stop them from running the country into the ground for the 8 years that Bush ran the country. Creating the enormous debt to begin with. Obama's stimulus plan was done after the Republicans bailed out the banks and did a stimulus package of their own.
(2) We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
Market based health care doesn't work. Tell it to the millions of people in the states that don't have and can not afford health care. I'm one of them. So quit catering to the special interest groups and do the right thing. You stupid fuckers realize that Medicare is a, as you put it, socialist program?
(3) We support market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
Cap and trade works, and it only pisses you off because it keeps you rich fat fucks from getting richer.
(4) We support workers' right to secret ballot by opposing card check;
And yet a Republican thought it up in the first place to keep illegals from voting.
(5) We support legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
Amnesty for illegals. Let me think. That all went down in Bush's administration. So in typical Republican fashion you try blaming your mistakes on the guy that took over.
(6) We support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
Guess what guys? Those are losing battles. No way in hell are we going to win them. To think we will is ludicrous. We should just pull out and strengthen our shit here at home. Think of he money we could save and use to help our own people. That is something Republicans could never do. PUT THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE BEFORE THEM!
(7) We support containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat;
Their nuclear threat? Your kidding, right? We have enough nukes to wipe them off the planet. The Russians have nukes that can't be accounted for and China has 1/4 of the world's population. Do you honestly think that we couldn't just drop a bomb if we wanted to? We did it twice in WWII so I really don't see it being a problem again. Besides all you're going to do by "Containing" them is piss off the rest of the world that might still like us. Doing this creates animosity towards us because we try shoving our beliefs down others throats. Doing that is wrong.
(8) We support retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
No you don't. Because if you did then gay marriage wouldn't bother you. So quit trying to shove your religion down other peoples throats. This country was founded by puritans escaping persecution of the Catholic Church. This country allows people to worship as they wish. That means all religions NOT JUST YOURS! Get over your fucking selves! People should be allowed to get married no matter what their sexual orientation is.
(9) We support protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion;
And yet you and the rest of the government have been doing that for years upon years. Allowing the insurance companies to not give people insurance due to preexisting conditions. And abortion is legal, so does it really matter who pays for it? NO IT DOESN'T! We don't need to go back to back alley abortions and shit like that before Roe v. Wade was passed. There you go again trying to shove your religious beliefs down others throats again.
(10) We support the right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership;
And yet if there were tighter and stricter gun control laws we wouldn't have nearly the number of shootings that happen on a daily basis. That would mean no more Columbines, Ft. Hoods and any other number of mass killings that happen because of that whole RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS shit, that was written to allow people to take up arms against their oppressors. That means it allowed people to fight against England and not just the military. Get over it and do the right thing!
As for calling me and mine Socialists, I suggest you start learning the definition of the word before you miserable closet cock suckers start bandying it around. I've been called worse. I've hung out with know Communists, and I'm damn proud of it. Because I have learned not to judge and label people unlike every mother fucking, religious right wing, anal retentive, cock sucking REPUBLICAN I've ever met. What?! You don't like being called names? Well, ain't that the pot calling the kettle black.
Oh yeah, and before I forget, this is not directed at any of my friends. This is more directed at the Republican National Party as a whole. If you are offended, don't expect me to apologize for I don't ask you to do the same when you go on one of your Democrat bashing rants. I'm just telling it like it is. This country was founded on ideals and changes. You may not like it but that doesn't make those ideals or changes wrong. It just makes them different to what you're use to. So learn to adapt and get use to it. "For the times they are a changing!"
