What about rehabilitating Republicans once we get in power?
Will there be grant money available to create recovery programs? Or will we just have to put them in those KBR concentration camps that they built for us?

I figure about 60% of the population is already basically with us and 20% of the US population is basically unsalvageable; the remaining 20% are gonna require some serious work to help them overcome their "strict father" (i.e. abusive) upbringings, fundamentalist indoctrinations, and all that. There should be some good money to be made converting these poor wretches into people with functional minds.

3. I haven't seen prisons rehabilitate very many people.
However, it we were to empty the prisons of simple drug users and other "victimless" criminals, we could certainly use the facilities for Republican rehab.

5. I'd suggest "re-education camps"
They're already calling Obama a "communist" so what the hell, let's go for it!

Oh, and we should pull out 70-90%* for waterboarding, er..."enhanced interrogation" to see what really happened these past eight years.
____
70-90% were the innocent Iraqis rounded up in sweeps and waterboarded, er..."enhancely interrogated" according to Jimmy Carter's "Our Endangered Values." He based his stats on Army intel and the International Red Cross.

6. Works for me. I was just trying to couch the same concept in
more innocent-sounding language.

8. I believe in a free-market approach to rehabilitation...
don't give them any assistance at all, just create one little area of the country in which the unregulated free-market is allowed to run wild. If that doesn't disabuse them of their sentiments nothing will.

9. I keep wishing that republicans like my representative Mike Castle or Arlen Specter
would take back their party. They are the true republicans
