- Everything on fox news and other right wing outlets are always the truth, no matter how off the wall or numerous times they have been proven false

- It doesn't matter if you have no qualifications to be president, as long as you bash Obama, you're a leading candidate.

- Republicans actually care about balancing the budget, though they are the overwhelming leaders in pork barrel spending.

- If an election is won it's because they are the most AweSoME in the world and everyone else sucks. If they lose it's because of voter fraud or other conspiracy.

- They actually want less government, even though the right introduced, passed and continue to support big government bills like the patriot act.

- They care about the constitution. See above as well as calling to repeal the 14th

- They are anti-illegal, even though Reagan passed blanket amnesty, W called for it as well and McCain also tried to pass an amnesty bill. Everything points to the republicans are pro-amnesty.

- They are pro "family values" though the #1 politicians involved in gay sex and other sex scandals are by the "family values" republicans.

- By giving billions in handouts to the rich they will "trickle down" the wealth to everyone else

- Never question anything told to you from right wing sources. If it's told to you by a right wing constituent, it's always truthful and what's before for the country.

- Unions especially teachers are sinister, lazy, greedy people who make $200,000 a year or more on taxpayer dime.

- They gonna dun take yer gunz if you dun don't vote republican!!

- Jesus would be a conservative

- Being a "good christian" mean to just hate gays and abortion.

- The slightest miscue needs to be raised into massive faux outrage every time someone on the left does anything. If childish, offensive or downright nasty things are done by the right, it's expected and no big deal.

- The right actually has a chance to win in 2012

- The tea party is the strongest it's ever been, the abysmal turnouts lately are because everyone is at work (even when rallies are on the weekend)

- Reagan was the 2nd coming of christ, they don't know why, but that's just what you are suppose to think.

- Anyone who isn't an off the wall far right crazy, should be considered and instantly bashed as a hard left liberal.

- No matter how many times they screw up, it's always "the dems" fault

- Jobs are going to china and india for the sole purpose of minimum wage worker costs in america are too expensive and they could no longer be in business otherwise. It has nothing to do with greed or upping the bottom line.

- College educations and high school diplomas are hippy stuff. The only education you need in life is from the bible, how to shoot a gun, and vote republican

- Vote republican no matter what. It doesn't matter who is running for office or what their qualifications are. If they have an (R) next to their name, they're the best

To answer your question, no we don't need them. However, look at it as a little Memorial Day fun!

That corporations in America REALLY have their best interest at heart as they continue to send jobs, and investment capital overseas. And that somehow cutting their taxes will wonderoulsy make them bring jobs an investment capital back to the United States.

That second class citizen status is perfectly O.K. in this country for non-White, non-Christian, and gay, lesibian and transgendered Americans.

That a health care system where health insurance companies first priority is to make a profit can somehow have a patient best interest's at heart.

That state governments should cut corporate taxes and then balance their budgets on the backs of state educational systems, government employees, and putting additional burdern on local governments.

That blowing up federal buildings, killing doctors that perform abortions, and killing police officers and judges because they represent the goverment is politically and socially acceptable.

When Dick Cheney was Vice-President "Deficits don't matter". Now that President Obama is President the world is going to end due to the deficit.

That there won't be a huge backlash in the 2012 elections for actions of state governors, and legislatures in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin in regards to curtailing the collective bargaining rights of government employees, and cutting taxes for corporations then sticking the people of those states with the cuts to balance the budget.

That George W. Bush Jr. has absolutely NOTHING to do with the budget deficts we have now. They just all magically appeared on after Barack Obama was sworn into office.

That oil companies should be allowed to drill in the Gulf of Mexico without effective safety measures in place even after the largest environmental disaster in American history occurred exactly for those reasons.

That "The War On Drugs" is actually winnable.

"If ballots won't work, then bullets will"

"Second Amendment Remedies"

1. How's Main Street doing?

9% unemployment, $4.00/gallon gasoline, skyrocketing food prices, 1.8% GDP and inflation increasing.


2. Good point! Islamic terrorists will knock it off now that we killed OBL.


3. Yeah, those union palms were in serious need of grease!

Think adding a trillion borrowed dollars to the debt was worth it since we still have just as much unemployment as before?

Reagan had created over six million jobs by this point in his recovery and he restored the dollar and brought inflation under control as well.


4. Yeah, those union palms were also in serious need of grease!

I'm sure screwing the secured investors to pay off a political ally will in no way have a chilling effect on future investment in our economy.


5. True enough, but "elections have consequences".

You'll just have to wait until the next time Democrats are in control of the entire federal government to get that Cap and Trade scam enacted.

3. Regulating unethical and unsafe behavior on the part of corporations is unAmerican and unConstitutional. Regulating who adults love and marry is necessary to save the country.

(1)

Who bailed out millionaires to save them from their bad choices?

Are you referring to the Obama tax cuts for millionaires that passed during the lame duck session or the TARP program that rewarded Goldman Sacks for speculating in the derivatives Clinton refused to regulate?

Food stamps feed children and their fat a$$ parents who ride through the store on electric carts because they are too fat to walk.

Maybe their parents would have a better job if they didn't have to compete with illegal immigrants and Chinese and Mexican workers.

Thanks Bill!


(2)

Take it up with Dodd.

Oh, wait...sorry. I guess you can't since he took his tarnished image to the private sector (too sleazy to even try to run again) where he will serve as another example of how well corporations reward those who do their bidding against the interest of the voters while in office (see Robert Rubin, Phil Gramm).


(3)

Democrats make it their business to impose regulations on business for which they then sell regulatory exemptions to their campaign contributors (see BP, Obamacare)

If the President is a Republican the only terrorist attacks that count are the ones that happen in the United States. If the President is a Democrat then we also count terrorist attacks in other countries. If the President is both Democrat and black then we also count thwarted terrorist attacks

Terrorist attacks foiled when the President is Republican mean the President's doing a great job defending us. Terrorist attacks foiled under a Democratic President mean the President's doing a lousy job defending us

George Bush kept the nation safe after 9-11 (NOTE: the Anthrax attacks, the DC Sniper and Hurricane Katrina don't count. Also, the fact that 9-11 happened on his watch despite receiving a security briefing specifically warning of the attack doesn't count either.)


There were also about a half dozen of our embassies attacked.
