Never voted for Perot, and feel democrats have a right to be stupid, just not to freeload (-1/2 point)

Definately think Reagan should be cloned!

[Wilse]

Five and a half from fifteen. :-)

[KennyR]

16) Believe the environment will always fix itself quickly, no matter what you do to it. Environmental scientists who don't agree are just liars.

26) Blame the loss on Vietnam on hippies, and only on hippies.
27) Have more money than you. Period.
28) Think being tough on crime is always the answer, even when their tax breaks mean police and prison budget cuts, and crime isn't going down simply by handing out bigger sentences.
29) Think Nixon was a good president. In any way.
30) Believe all democrats are cannabis addicts or sexual deviants.
31) Think the NRA are just great.
32) Believe that making money is better than living in fair and just society where you can actually see a living tree within 15 miles.

Real Republicans:
1) Think both Bush president's are so so


I Think they are both @@@@ wits..


2) Wish they could clone Ronald Regan


Noooooo!


3) Aren't in a militia, but understand why they exist


I can understand why they exists - just often disagree with them.


4) Are isolationists


In what way - I dont want a Federal Europe as I fear potential corruption, but I wouldn't class myself as isolationist.


5) Don't like big brother


Agree with that


6) Believe in being self dependant both as a nation and as individuals. Don't like the utilities, monopolies and big oil


I dont like monopolies and big oil. Ideally yes we should be self sufficient - but there are others to consider. For example other nations need oil. And I'm all for Rights being born out of Responsibilities, which is another way of saying while you are an individual - no man is an island.


7) Think Hilary belongs in a petting zoo


I dont know much about her politics - but after being so publically humiliated by her husband shouldn't you leave her alone.


8) Voted for Perot in 92, Forbes in 96 and Keys in 2000


Nope. But then Im not a US citizen..


9) Are pro-death penalty and anti-abortion


Hate the idea of the death penalty - find it equally as abhorant as abortion. However I can see some extreme circumstances in which an abortion if it takes place is the lesser of the two evils - that is to say the situation is hopeless.


10) Are against censorship


So am I - however that is not to say that I'm anti films having certificates to prevent kids from seeing really minging stuff before there time.


11) Believe in a flat tax


I believe in a fair tax.


12) Believe in property rights


Agreed.


13) Believe stupidity is not a god given right, and is not justification for freeloading


Agreed.


14) Believe charity cannot be force fed by throwing money while ignoring the root causes


Agreed - but that does not mean you remove the charity, you simply use it to tackle the root of the problem.


15) Know Democrats are always wrong


Well according to the political compass Im Socially Democratic.. so I'll just assume republicans are always wrong then ;-)


*DISCLAIMER* No democrats and French people were harmed in the creation of this faq. This faq is not officialy endorsed by the GOP. Failure to meet all criteria may result in balding, impotance or other sexual side effects

Red, I dont think that what you have said is particularly un-reasonable. The trouble is when you take into account what Kenny has added.. and while you may say that you know of none like that, after speaking to some of the people on this site who profess to being Republican you can see how I can be forgiven for thinking that is what Republicans are like.

A reasonable statement Cecilia but I also know several Democrats who are just as "clueless". You can always find "bad applies" in any political group (or anything else for that matter). I certainly won't deny that there are some "nut case" Republicans but I can just as easily point out some "nut case" Democrats. It's all perspective.

which is why i'm glad i'm neither republican nor democrat.
I find stupidity boring, no matter the affiliation.

7) Think Hilary belongs in a petting zooI dont know much about her politics - but after being so publically humiliated by her husband shouldn't you leave her alone.hilary was "publically humiliated" by ken starr. and he insulted taxpayers by spending some 20 million hard earned dollars to "prove" bill clinton had a freakin' blow job.

gee, what a great use of public money. money HE never earned.

how much money do you think they will spend finding out what an a55hole bush is???
and how it's cost lives?

[Bobsonsirjonny]

Trouble is having a arsehole like bush suits them. As for it costing lives - War is a sure fire way for the wealthy to get even more wealthy..

Actually, only a few of those are from my own observations and/or biases. The rest I got from reading comments from T_Bone, Tigger, McNorris, Fade, Strobe (remember him?) and Istanfo, as well as some others. :) Oh, and by visiting the GOP site, when T_Bone linked it...

[ltstanfo]

Hehe...good one KennyR,

I readily claim 18,23 and 31. :-D

Let's start with Jerry Falwell and Randall Terry for the Republicans and Al Gore and John Kerry for the Democrats. More to follow.

I would include Bill Clinton for the Democrats but as he is unlikely to run for office again, I'll leave him be. That and his apt nickname, "slick willie" pretty much say it all (no intended reference to the British interpretation of the nickname).

12.5

[T_Bone]

mark me up for 23,24,31,34 :-)

...and in 24 I object to the term "rebels" being used for soverign states acting under their own authority and within the law. It was the North that rebelled, and unconstitutionally used military force on it's own citizens. ;-)

"The South's gonna do it again!" :lol:

What cracks me up is how you guys get this balance that you
can be pro-life and support Bush. :roflmao:

[McNorris]

@KennyR

God! I haven't even posted here (anywhere) in a month or so and you still got the hate on me? Pitiful man, pitiful.

@All those who hate the second amendment

Don't like it? Get it repealed. Just keep in mind it will be the second of amendments in history designed to take a freedom away from Americans... The first (though it didn't last too long) being Prohibition.
Yeah! It's possible to repal amendments. It's written in.

I find it funny that while people cap on Charlton Heston so relentlessly for his stance on the second amendment and cast him as some sort of Nazi, they forget he marched with Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement.

Dont' believe it? It's in pictures and headlines. Look it up.

Magnanimous people are about principles. Some believe in the constitution and are willing to defend it.

I don't agree with Chuck Heston on everything (particularly religious things), but the guy is balls out and that bugs people with fierce agendas.

By the way... It good to see that everyone posting in these political forums still has enough time on their hands to bother arguing the same topics over, and over, and over, and over, and over... again.

Seriously folks wasn't this the same sort of {bleep} we were {bleep}ing about a year ago???

To those that favor BIG government, I might suggest a woman's tit is far superior in so many ways to that of a government's.

There is my post for the next 6 months... Now good ol'KennyR can come around and call me a Nazi.

(Say didnt' the Nazi's love their big government :-? )

Because he's not much of a Republican. He's more of a Federalist. Luckily most of his policies are at least somewhat consistant with the Republican party, He's the lesser of two evils.

He's so far acted only in the interest of the Federal government, while completely ignoring the states, and even *fighting* the states for power. (gay marriage, drug laws, education, Yucca mountain in Nevada, etc.) He's completely ignored the plight of California, which is 1/5 of the world's economy. He's at odds with Scwartzenegger, who is seemingly doing an excellent job turning California around, and has already succeeded in elevating Califonia's credit rating. He's violated NAFTA with the steel tarif.

Sure he cut taxes, but you don't cut taxes without cutting programs, and he's not done that, he's increased programs. He's completely forgotten that our nation is a REPUBLIC and most programs he introduces arn't run by the states, but the Federal government.

"This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path." Ronald Reagan (1964) (my MAN!)

Yea, I'm getting sick of Bush, not that I'd vote against him, but enough that I'll push for another Republican.

[iamaboringperson]

Basically, all apply to iamaboring, except the following:
8) Voted for Perot in 92, Forbes in 96 and Keys in 2000

...since I'm not yet registered to vote in the USA. :)

[Ilwrath]

Hmm..... I consider myself an old-school Republican, and score a 11.5/15 for Redrumloa's test...

And 1 out of 19 on KennyR's farce list. (I support the NRA, despite currently owning 0 guns. I don't have a secure place to store one in my apartment.) Maybe 1.5 out of 19. Some people think I'm rich. Personally I'd qualify the "more money than you" for people making more than $100,000/yr, which I'm about $45,000/yr shy of most years... And more than that short of the mark this year, as Detroit's economy currently sucks.

He's not so much a Federalist as he is a glove puppet for Cheney/Rumsfeld/Sharon and the rest of the oil companies/Likudnicks/Christian Zionists.

Let's control the middle east, get their oil, shore up Isreal, get the temple rebuilt and then Jesus can come back. Hooray!!

Find out who his speech writer was and get him elected Prez ASAP!

[iamaboringperson]

And just to compare myself to kenny's points:

16) Believe the environment will always fix itself quickly, no matter what you do to it. Environmental scientists who don't agree are just liars.I don't think it will 'fix' itself quickly. Where did you get that from?

17) Think poor people are just the stupid or lazy ones that never made it big.Then what are they?
18) Are militarists and want to spend lots of money on weapons and soldiers.Using MY money? NO...19) Believe that deregulating the market will always result in prosperity, despite many historical examples otherwise.That's not true.
20) Think John Wayne movies accurately portrayed life in the Wild West.According to whom?
21) Believe all union leaders to be communists by default.Or socialists, or plain dumb :) :P
22) Are often religious fundamentalists. Or alternatively believe that tobacco tax is tyranny.Or... neither!
Why would tobacco tax not be 'tyranny'? (Why would it?)
23) Have more guns than you. Period.Again with the guns...24) Think the Rebels should have won the Civil War.Really? Not I. Who here does?25) Hope Cuban communists starve to death, and their children too.I hope to see them have true full blown capitalism.
I want to see whats best for people! :-]
(Why would we want to see childeren starve, kenny?)
26) Blame the loss on Vietnam on hippies, and only on hippies.Who claims that hippies caused it to fail?
How do they make the link?27) Have more money than you. Period.Now, that could be true. If so, it's possibly due them generally having a different attitude to you(in relation to money, employment, business, and so forth)
I'd still like to see proof.
28) Think being tough on crime is always the answer, even when their tax breaks mean police and prison budget cuts, and crime isn't going down simply by handing out bigger sentences.And the solution to crime is what? Smaller sentences?
I say zero tollerence is the only 100% guaranteed way to work. :)
(so much crime is done by the same few ... over ... and over ... and over ... AND OVER again)
29) Think Nixon was a good president. In any way.Republicans? Surely not! :lol:
30) Believe all democrats are cannabis addicts or sexual deviants.Yes. I, iamaboringperson believe that ALL democrats are cannabis addicts or sexual deviants.

31) Think the NRA are just great.Again with the guns...
32) Believe that making money is better than living in fair and just society where you can actually see a living tree within 15 miles.Must be all the others... I must be an exception to that (again)
33) Believe that dying in politically motivated wars is glorious.No, however I do believe that playing Playstation[tm] is fun. (Is that close enough?)
34) Blame democrats for all the social problems caused by Reagan monetarism in the 80s.:-?

Kenny, I'm starting to wonder about the polling that you've based all of that on!
If all of that is typical of Republican supporters, I must surely be in the wrong group! :(

(You DID base that on some quality research, DIDN'T YOU??)

[that_punk_guy]

How come all your arguments amount to:

"Duhhhh, what do you mean??!"

Do you mean kenny?

Yeah, dude, he is a bit like that... whoa

[T_Bone]

Are you a Leftist? (kenny's test modified a bit :-P)

16) Believe the environment cannot withstand man, no matter how small our impact on it is, Environmental scientists who say otherwise are just liars.
17) Think poor people cannot improve themselves through education or training to better themselves. They are in the position they are in purely by luck, and it's no use fighting it.
18) Are federalists and want to spend lots of money on government programs..
19) Believe that regulating the market will always result in prosperity, despite many historical examples otherwise.
20) Think Michael Moore movies accurately portray anything.
21) Believe all gun owning citzens to be criminals by default.
22) Are often face pierced teenagers. Or alternatively believe that tax cuts are tyranny.
23) Have more media representation than you. Period.
24) Think the Yankee's had a right to force the south to surrnder ther soverignity, even thouugh the States never gave this power to the Federal government.
25) Hope the rich get taxed to death, and their children too.
26) Give credit for the end of the Vietnam conflict to hippies, and only to hippies.
27) Have more dangling chads than you. Period.
28) Think tough gun controll is always the answer, even when their crime has nothing to do with guns.
29) Think Clinton was a good president. In any way.
30) Believe all Republicans are repressed homosexuals or have OC dsorders.
31) Think PETA are just great.
32) Believe that preserving a tree is better than living in fair and just society where you can actually see a living person within 15 miles.
33) Believe that dying in politically motivated wars is a reason to reinstitute the draft.
34) Blame republicans for social problems caused by Carter economics in the 70s.
