What's sadder than the Republican Party trying to be "hip"?

So, the Republican Party is trying push their old ideas but, hold on, in a new fashion.

They say they want to appeal to the young people.

Only problem with their little plan is while they say that their style is fresh, their platform is older than the people that they are trying to appeal to.

Maybe we should just keep quiet about this kind of stuff, the Republicans might eventually catch on.

1. Yea but they can't hide the cancerous boils no matter how

much makeup they put on it.

They don't believe in science so they can't advance the country to be more competitive.

The don't believe in the environment so we will continue to use our natural resources at unsustainable rates.

The don't believe in diplomacy (they only believe in war) so world peace is not in their vocabulary.

They don't believe in birth control so it's okay to have an out of control birth rates in the US (oh yea and high infant mortality rates)

They are racists
They are homophobic

The new is old as the old is new this is the "Grand ole Party"!!

3. A 25 year old Young Republican stock broker

sitting in a cigar bar, pretending to groove to Tony Bennett.

Now that is pathetic, even more pathetic than a bunch of over the hill farts trying to convince the young that they're with it.

5. Let's see - a Young Republican org - that is filled with

thirty-somethings (not so young, anymore) - that elects a president who is at the center of an ugly facebook spat - which highlights participation in or at least high tolerance of hateful racist commentary.

Ya, that's a sign of party vitality.

6. DJ Mikey Steele and the repub-biotchez in da hizzy

all they have is their white, old (and dying), lunatic base and they want to recruit new members by acting "hip hop".

If the DEMS can only get meaningful healthcare reform they'll hold on to a super majority for decades. (Are you listening Harry Reid)
