Republicans Beliefs and Traits

[SONUVABUSH]

1. First of all, you really can’t think very well on your own. You are too lazy to do so. You also are not well educated and not terribly bright. You’d prefer some highly biased “news” source such as Bill O’Reiley or Matt Drudge to think for you. Then you claim this highly biased opinion to be factual news.

2. You have a tremendous ego. This ego, combined with below par intelligence, make you believe that you are always right. You believe that you are better and more important than your neighbor. You must always “get the last word” in any verbal or written debate.

3. Money and profits are the most important thing in life to you and the GOP. You believe Money is power, and by golly that combines likes eggs and bacon with the ego part of number 2. You believe it is important for CEOs and executives to make millions or billions, while blue-collar workers get laid off and starve. You believe the oil companies are not making profits, only “breaking even”.

4. You believe anything with the word environmental in it is bad. I think we all realize we have only one environment and should not poison it. The reason republicans hate environmental controls, is that protecting the environment costs a little extra money, and well that cuts into the CEOs bottom line (see item #3).

5. You believe global warming is a myth despite warnings of top scientists and the Environmental Protection Agency. Rather than trying to explain this to you, go back to items #3 and #4 to see if you can connect the dots.

6. Religion is important to you and the GOP. You think it is important for the Pat Robertsons of the world to deceive poor people out of their money to raise millions to funnel into republican campaign funds. OOH, there is that word money again, are we seeing a trend here?

7. You just LOVE war, as long it was a republican who started it. Of course if Bill Clinton had invaded Iraq, you would be crying to get him removed from office. Why do you love war? Well it goes well with the ego thing (see #2). It makes you feel tough. Perhaps you served in the military in peacetime since you were not bright enough to get into college. You also believe that the wealthy should not go to war or be in harms way. You hope the killed and wounded in action be from a lower social-economic group than you.

8. You believe the wealthy should be allowed to abuse drugs and alcohol while the poor go to prison.

9. You gotta admit, you really hate minorities, especially blacks. Of course, you would never admit this since it looks bad to society and is “politically incorrect”. When accused of being a racist, you say, “Well we have Condy Rice as Secretary of State!” Good point. I suppose it is obvious that all administrations need a token minority that never disagrees with the president to “cover their AS$” when this accusation arises.

1. Number 10

10. What is "Me and Mine" matters. What is "You and Yours" does not matter. There is no such thing as "Us and Ours."

2. Number 11

If male, and most Republicans are--your gender identity is unusually fragile. Inside, you are crying out for gender reassignment, and cover it up with a lot of tough talk and violent threats against people you don't know.

3. I disagree in part with number one

I think it has nothing to do with education - I work in North Texas with professionals who are highly educated but they voted for bush and would probably vote for them again. And my grandparents, some of the smartest people I have ever known, never even went to high school. Now I do believe that republicans are too lazy to actually find out the truth and are quite willing to be spoon-fed propaganda by the corporate masters

4. Having degrees, being professional

not equal to well-educated. The universities churn out a lot of mediocre minds.

I bet your smart grandparents are Democrats...
