What do you think they would say? Democrats could say they were proud of OSHA, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, and many many others but what would a Republican say?

6. The Environmental Protection Agency
Hey, I actually know a Republican who likes the EPA. He's one of ten Republicans nationwide that appreciates the EPA. They meet once a month, have a beer, and throw darts at their James Watt poster.

10. Yes but it was inspired by Democrats and their Labor standards
It was a result of Child Labor Laws and Labor Union demands...Nixon buckled to popular demand and No Republican today will agree it is good for America.

13. Getting rid of the "Death Tax"
Repugs just love to get all hot and bothered about the so called "Death Tax" and the unfairness of "double taxation." They act as if the inheritence tax on its very own is singlehandedly preventing would be heirs from realizing their full potential.
I don't even bother arguing with a repug about this issue and the fact that earned wealth is taxed much more than unearned wealth. They are fixated on the inheritence tax as the very face of evil and liberalism.

14. Covenant Eyes!
http://www.covenanteyes.com


"All I can say is that Covenant Eyes has been a life saver for me! What was once a dark alley is now a brightly lit avenue. I’m still tempted. Occasionally, I even catch myself lingering on a lingerie ad or something like that. But I know that Covenant Eyes will even highlight those sites, and my partners (my wife, counselor, and pastor) will know about it, so I leave immediately...

...Covenant Eyes has given me a way of re-developing the integrity I lost, and also a way to demonstrate my sincerity in wanting to rid myself of a terrible sin. It is the best defense I have ever found against the devastation that pornography was in my life."

This was in our Google ads.

15. Christo-republicons taking a Narrow Stance on sexuality? WTF
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 01:54 PM by SpiralHawk
Sen. Larry Craig (R) made a public stance advocating the Wide Stance.

Or maybe the republicon Wide Stance applies only to public bathrooms...?

This is a real stumper.

19. I have asked this question to my Republican friends; this question
and what has the Republican party done for you personally - they just get this glazed look in their eyes and change the subject. It baffles me that everyday working people belong to the Republican party - why?
