So You Think That You Are A Republican?

I just wanted to take a quick second to pen a response to all of the wity "pro- republican" blogs and bulletins.

So you think that you are a republican? why, because you are against abortion? Most people who identify themselves as pro-choice are not fans of abortion as birth control. We are, however pro CHOICE. We think that YOU should have the right to decide what YOU can do with YOUR body- not the government. If you dont like abortions- dont have one.

So you think that you are a republican? why, because you are a religious person? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. That's from the Bill Of Rights. Keep your religion out of my government and I'll keep my government out of your religion. I wont tell you who or what to worship and you do the same for everyone else. For the record I was raised as a Baptist and I still follow, but I seperate my religion from my government. I like chocolate cake and I like spicy chili, but I think that each are best when separate from each other.

So you think that you are a republican? why because you think that everyone should have to work and no one should get a free ride from the government? The biggest benefactor of tax breaks and benefit programs are large corporations and not the "welfare mothers" who get food stamps for spitting out numerous children. You complain that you have to work for your money and that it should not go to these welfare mothers, but do you know where it goes? It goes to:

So you think that you are a republican? why because they look out for the little guy, the hard worker, the individual? The republicans bailed out Enron, a little guy in the field of energy production who stole from the retirement funds of their emplyees only after they stole from the states that they were supposed to serve. When is the last time that you heard of the republicans bailing out a starving family? Who do the republicans pass legislation for, small town people or large corporations? When is the last time that you have been invited to the White House? Why is Dick Cheney destroying his visitation logs, to conceal the number of visits from citizens or from lobbyists like Jack Abramoff? Do you have the cash to pay for a night's stay in the Lincoln Bedroom? It was over $100,000.00 a night at last check.

Or do you think that you are a republican because you support the troops? We all support the troops, except for those who sent them off to fight and die with substandard body armor. Who supports the troops more, a man who sent them to Iraq, a country that never attacked us nor had any weapons of mass destruction, or those of us who want them to come home to be with their families? I support the troops, I want them to come home and stop dying so that companies like Halliburton can make billions off the war effort. You say that you support the troops, park your SUV so that we wont need to fight for foreign oil.

If I've upset you, I am sorry. If I made you think, good, that was my point.
