You Might Be A Republican If…

You Might be a Republican If……….

1) You believe George W. Bush’s redistribution of middle-class tax cuts to the top 1% of tax-payers was good for America, but Obama’s plan to return it to the middle class is ‘socialism.’

2) You believe stem cells are living human beings, but thousands of Iraqi children are ‘expendable collateral damage.’

3) You believe tax cuts for billionaires is a great idea, yet you wonder why the economy has stalled, your job just got outsourced to India, and oil company executives receive $400,000,000.00 retirement packages.

4) You believe the surge worked because the violence in Iraq is back to 2006 levels, which is only horrible, compared to what it was in 2007; intolerable. Besides, Brit Hume said so.

5) You think trial lawyers are harmful to America, yet you support prosecuting some guy in Muncie Indiana who burned his 99¢ American flag that was made in China by forced child labor.

6) You’re all for the ‘rule of law’ when it’s applied to Bill Clinton for lying about his infidelity, but not for prosecuting Karl Rove and Scooter Libby for committing treason.

7) You think George W. Bush is actually a really smart guy, but his folksy manner just makes him seem dumber than he really is.

8) You believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own, and that those who are born to poverty and never have opportunities for advancement, got what they deserved.

9) You believe Ronald Reagan was a great president who had complete control of all aspects of government, but the Iran-Contra Affair was an insignificant scandal that went on without his knowledge.

10) You believe Democrats tax and spend, but George W. Bush was a fiscal conservative.

1. Thank you! Sometimes we need a reminder of what it was like to be governed by the GOP.

Particularly those who struggle seeing the difference between Obama and Bush.

7. To add to those:

You might be a Republican, if you think that public employees shouldn't have the right to strike - unless they're Republican members of Congress who are shutting down government to object to a Democratic president's budget. (Gingrich's bunch in 1994).

You might be a Republican, if you believe in small government except when it concerns what people do in their bedrooms.

(For British right-wingers):

You might be a right-wing Tory if you consider that punishing people for damge to private property is quite right and proper, but punishing them for damage to public property is an intrusion on basic liberties.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you think that smoking bans in public places are evil, but the drug wars are good.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you think that trade unions, who withdraw labour in a strike for higher pay, are 'holding the country to ransom' and that one should never 'cave in' to them- but that bankers and other rich people, who threaten to leave the country and withdraw their financial contributions if taxes on them are raised, are doing the right thing and we *should* cave in to them.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you think that Britain should not have to follow directives from the EU, but *should* follow directives from right-wing American presidents like Reagan and Bush.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you think that unemployed people in areas of high unemployment should 'get on their bikes' to relocate where the work is - and then you make housing unaffordable in the places where there are still jobs.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you claime to be 'pro- family' while pursuing economic policies that damage all families that are not rich.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you claim to be 'the party of aspiration', while tripling university tuition fees for those who aspire to higher education.

You might be a right-wing Tory if you deplore the 'culture of victimhood' while constantly crying that anti-gay Christians are being victimized.
