    Bing-fing-GO! Career politicians are all the same, driven by whoever pays their bills.

    And we, "the people", are just as bad. We rant about government spending but vote for the local politician who helped keep the big army base in town. We cheer for getting federal matching funds on one stupid project or another as if that money doesn't come from our pocket too.

    1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

    No, you simply believe that doing someting about this disease is better than not doing anything about it.

    2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

    Well, you know, if the little girls were not getting Pregnant in the 5th grade, perhaps the school system could avoid this subject for a few more yers.

    3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese communists.

    Not ture, I firmly believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are a safety valve from agression without and within.

    4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

    SInce the earliest known art comes from the 9,000 BC period of time, this is obviously false.

    5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.

    I used to believe in global warming. Now, I take the position, that we, as a world, should find all the oil, pump it out of the ground, burn it as rapidly as possible, so that I can live in Canada in the wintertime.

    6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

    No, all you have to believe is that everyone deserves the maximum ability to live as they themselves desire. Its called Freedom. I do what I want, you do what you want, they do what they want. See how easy it is to drop you hate?

    7. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

    I support capital punishment and abortion on demand.

    9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.

    I would like the hunters to come to Lost Creek Texas and shot every single friggen dear that can be found, and be quick about it.

    11. You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

    You mean, like, maybe, Iraq?
    You mean, like, maybe, Nicaragua?
    You mean, like, maybe, Panama?
    You mean, like, maybe, Quatamala?

    12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

    Both are good precisely because the support the constitution (which limits what government can do to us).

    14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

    Why?

    15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

    Why?

    16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady.

    Why?

    17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because Democrats haven't been in charge.

    You could use the same argument on the war on Drugs.....

    But it doesn't make it ture.....

    18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House (from '93 through 2000)!

    Like Rush and his drug problem?
    In the large scheme of things, Bill will go down in the top ten presidents of all time, while W will go down in the bottom ten of all time.

    19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

    People should be FREE to choose what they want to wear, say, eat, drink,...as long as they are not hurting anybody by doing it.

    20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

    As opposed to: the massive support of MultiNational corporations support of the Republicans as being in the best intrest of the average 'Joe'?

    21. You have to believe that Saddam Hussein did not know any terrorists.

    Why?

    23. You have to believe that reciting the pledge of allegiance is an establishment of religion.

    Only if you include the words not in the Pledge before 1952.

    25. You have to believe that everyone who doesn't/can't/won't work should be paid.

    So, you, on the other hand, believe they should starve?

    Vote Democratic ... It's easier than getting a job.
    Vote Republican..... Its easier than thinking

    Believe what you want, find the best candidate that fits, then vote or run yourself. Personally I'm a Libertarian, but I have to admit there are a few things on the Democratic platform I do believe in...just not enough to ever make me vote for one.

    My wife and I are staunch conservatives. When we first started dating we were having dinner with my parents (Dad-cons., Mom-liberal) and Peggy said something about what an idiot Bill Clinton was and how she despised Hillary. I could feel my Mom freezing up across the room, so as soon as I could I got Peggy aside and told her that politics was a real no-no in my parents house! Makes for much friendlier conversations.

    Anyone who votes strict party lines is an idiot and a sheep. Do your research, find out what the candidates truly believe and what their track records are for following through, then vote accordingly.
