The Republican Platform 2004
1. Jesus loves you and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary
Clinton.
2. The United States should get out of the United Nations and our
highest national priority is to enforce UN resolutions against Iraq.
3. "Standing tall for America" means firing your workers and moving
their jobs to India.
4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body but the
government has no place interfering with the right of multinational
corporations to make decisions affecting all mankind.
5. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a
conservative radio host, in which case it's an illness.
6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in
speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
7. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run
for Governor of California as a Republican.
8. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
9. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies,
then demand their cooperation and money.
10. HMO's and insurance companies have the interest of the public at
heart and require protection against lawsuits from greedy
policyholders.
11. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy while
providing health care to all Americans represents socialism.
12. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science but
creationism should be taught in schools.
13. It is okay that the Bush family has done millions of dollars of
business with the Bin Laden family.
14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's
daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him
and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find bin Laden" diversion.
15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable
offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which
thousands die is deeply patriotic and questioning it makes you an ally
of terrorists.
16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the
Internet.
17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades but
George Bush's Harken Oil stock trade are none of our business.
18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General Ashcroft
can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to
adopt.
19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital national interest,
but what Bush did in the '80's is irrelevant.
20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist but
trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international
harmony.
21. Affirmative action is wrong but it is OK for daddy and his friends
to get GWB into Yale, the Texas Air National Guard, Harvard Business
School, the Governorship of Texas and then have the Supreme Court
appoint him President of the USA.
