A Future Childlike GOP
By Troll Comments (24) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
This is inspired by the 2006 election campaign. A few of the reminders of antics of the opposition...
-Saying the Republicans were going to institute the draft. Then putting forth a bill to institute the draft. Then voting against it.
-Voting for the war, Voting to fund the war (some!)... then denouncing it and acting like you and Barbara Lee have been best friends since High School.
-Screeching Culture of Corruption and harping on any hint of impropriety while you do almost nothing against your own.
-Complain about the Patriot Act while your own members run illegal credit checks on an opposition candidate. Do nothing.
-Cry racism at any opportunity. Ignore the vile racism that comes out of your candidates mouths. Buy more Oreo cookies.
-Cry homophobia and excuse pedophilia at every opportunity. Except of course when a closeted Congressman is found to be pranked by pages and has never physically acted improperly to those in his office. Then jump on the guy like the second coming of the Spanish Inquisition.. even after resigning... something a Democrat would never do.
-Hit every church they can in the month up to the election. Spend the rest of their tenure supporting exactly what these churches are against... Abortion, Homosexual Relationships, Restriction of Religion, Cloning, Poisoning Morality, Racism... Repeat next election cycle.
If a GOP candidate is up the the challenge of matching the Childlike & Dishonest Democrats in the political arena for 2008. I'd suggest they run the following:
Ban Nascar Racing. State the Democrats are going to put out a bill to ban Nascar Racing. It's obviously dangerous (nanny state protectionism), environmentally insensitive (pollution from running around in circles), discriminates against People of Color and Women (how many black or hispanic women drivers are there?) and encourages Children to drive fast when they get older (hey its for the safety of the children!). The Democrats will either 1) support it wholeheartedly. Or they will 2) fall out of their SUV's to express their whole hearted love for Nascar. Bill Richardson may even 'Vanilla Ice' us one more time and say he used to race cars when he was younger. There really isn't a bill so you need to make one up yourself. If it comes up for a vote... vote against your own bill.
Raise Taxes. Like dangling heroin in front of an addict. State that it is imperative that we raise taxes (for whatever the cause of the day is... if you can't think of one go for Government funded Stem Cell research... they won't be able to resist that one). Of course when the bill comes up... vote against it.
Regulate Religion. Maybe take away their tax free status and nice Bible censoring would do here. No matter how much the secularists would eat this up, something banning religion all together might throw up a few blue flags being 'we are all sorta for that stuff' and its in the Constitution and all. But if the other two worked, some will still fall for this. A bill will never come up for this because this will fracture their party with infighting and strife of Biblical proportions. Of course, I'm assuming that some Democrats actually aren't lying about being religious... well we will find out won't we?
They'd just go to Peet's and Borders to get their coffee.
How about some coffee bean tariffs? Free trade is for suckers!

Well we could specifically target liberals with taxes on specialty drinks at Starbucks and every other coffee shop.
It would hurt regular citizens as well... but almost every liberal I know has several animals living with them. Of course... no kids allowed! Jack up Pet food prices and give everyone a double dose of their Tax Exemption per kid.

In the SF Bay Area they tend to have Pit Bulls and German Shepherds... something about liking to have a 'man' around to protect them. From whom? I guess from other Ladies with a Big 'L'

Just start taxing Organic Food in general. Then they will finally understand what its REALLY like to be unfairly treated by Big Government.

I think it's like hybrid cars: makes no economic sense whatsoever from any point of view, but well-off people will overpay for it in order to get the cachet. If anything, taxing it more will only add to the snob appeal.

for the greater good of the country? You can always shop online.
Plus... if we make coffee illegal. Then some pot might be taken out of rotation and put into coffee plants.

We would wipe out the wealth of the kennedy's and their ilk in a couple of generations.... People who actually have to work for a living might understand the tax burden better.
Lets see them come out against this. The poor would not even have to pay taxes. The kennedy's would. Now we can soak the rich properly.
And since they are presently in charge of the games rules... they'd just make loopholes for themselves.
Even without the loopholes.. they'd just move their wealth overseas where nobody could account for it.

would be necessary for anyone who could name more than two types of Starbucks Lattes without stopping to think about it.
2006 is done, 2008 is another day and another fight
This could be self imposed tariff/tax. Start selling 'Conflict Free' Coffee for $10 a cup... they'd pay it just to be all warm and fuzzy. The rest could get along with just paying the $4....

Lots of Liberals like NASCAR and more than a few Conservatives are Starbuck's latte addicts.
I like a good Grande Non-fat Latte. Some people call it coffee with warm milk. Either way, it is delicious and I am not going to avoid it just because Liberals also like it.
With real milk instead of that unrefrigerated liquefied tofu stuff they try to pass off as some kind of milk substitute, I think you're ok.

I can live with hurting the feelings of all 3 Liberals that like Nascar and if I'm going raise the hackles of some 5-10 Million Conservatives?

Those Dems have no shame at all.
We can retaliate by closing Barnes&Noble and Starbucks!
