I may join the Republicans

I am sick and tired and sick and tired of being sick and tired. DUer's brother killed in Iraq. Mrbush vetoes helping the military out of a horrendous situation and threatens more vetoes. More harm, more mayham, more lies, more deceptions, hate, fear, power, egos.

If I join the republicans, I hear I don't have to think or feel. I can just be a good person running around going lalalalalalalala bzzzzzzz with my fingers in my ears and I don't have to work or fret or sweat or worry about the environment or global change or peak oil or starvation or lack of health insurance because I can go to a church once a week and be absolved of any responsibility, or I can do whatever I feel like and then go into rehab and have it all be ok and even maybe I'll win the lottery or get rich and famous and then that will prove that anyone can do it.

What do you think?

to have your partial birth abortion before you go.

:D

Pre-born vs fetus. Rights of the Unborn vs rights of the living. Thanks for the reminder.

:toast:

UP, one of my most favorite Du'ers evah!

As long as you tell God you're sorry afterwards and do TV commercials about how it's the worst decision you've ever made.

But remember: deals with the Devil -NEVER- make
you happy in the end.

DUers are a bunch of whiny crybaby liberals anyway. Lalalalalalalala. :toast:

:evilgrin: :shrug: :hide:

:evilgrin: :toast: indeed, but sometimes I wish, not really but it would be easier, to be a non-thinking non-feeling non-empathetic person.

Republicans cannot win either just by being a party of ignorant bliss.

Not going to work. :rofl:

self serving and self absorbed! Count me out!

think they were spawned from satan's loins.

I'm proud as hell I'm a D, and have empathy, compassion and some other human qualities, like forgiveness and an unceasing search for true justice. For a while, those actually were R qualities...but that was gone after the first R president, Lincoln, met his fate at Ford's Theater.

There were a few attempts to return to the ways of Lincoln, but there was just too much money to be made
under the RR's, shipping and industry. D's in history were no angels either, but w/the Great Shift, we became, by default, the party of the Progressives...something TR believed in, an R, but a good R...:)

to that level.

as they say, take time to smell the roses along the way I might add your in good company along the way.:bounce:

....real liberal democrats can't ever drink enough repuke koolaid to get to the lalalalalala bzzzzzz state without the proper brain surgery. You could try to pretend, but I think you would end up coming back to DU after just a short while.

Sorry, but that is our curse....we know the truth and once we know the truth we can't ever return to not knowing the truth.

We've got a nation to save from sliding into full-blown fascism, and maybe I'm just a little grumpy at the moment, but I fail to see where this helps us.

Didn't help much, but thanks anyways. (And no, I am not giving up, just thinking it would be nice sometime to be able to be brain dead.)

I was on an enjoyable vacation a couple of weeks ago, but family illness has got me all stressed out again.

It all gets to be a bit much sometimes, wishing the best to you and apologies for the snark.

And God knows that the GOP is the source of most of our problems today.

BTW, about the family illness...I hope whoever's having problems will feel better soon. :)

Repubs are like the scene in 'Half Baked' where Chappelle says to his friend, "You've just smoked yourself retarded".

You have to wind up going past that and smoking yourself Republican.

:D

then you wouldn't need to worry

I'm an independent and I too have thought about how nice it would be to be a clueless zombie for the neocon cause. I'm just not willing to undergo the lobotomy required.

but I prefer undeluded.

Let's nominate the annual season predicting groundhog for the '08 GOP ticket. We've already had a MonkeyShrub! }(

You have a conscience. k&r

sometimes it's a bit too glossy for the hamster cage, but they're generally fun to get. i always find the voting guides -- where they literally go down the list on how to vote like a republican -- useful most of the time. all you have to do is do the opposite and you magically vote in your best interests! so convenient! it gives you political cover against bullshit management, and it allows you to gather incriminating data on these assholes when they think they are talking amongst like-minded friends! there's many wonderful reasons to be a registered republican, you should consider taking the switch today! :D

You could achieve the same feeling without selling your soul. Unfortunately, you'd gain about 400 pounds before you got to the brain-dead level of the average Repuke. :evilgrin:

That automaticaly disqualifies you from being a Republican.

If I join the republicans, I hear I don't have to think or feel. I can just be a good person running around going lalalalalalalala bzzzzzzz with my fingers in my ears. . .



heh.

there are as many Republicans as there are, is because it's so easy to be one. You don't have to care about anyone but yourself. There are no problems in the world that merit your concern. It's all someone else's fault and "they're just jealous" or whatever excuse means they don't have to be concerned or help. You're right, for them there is no worry about the environment or human rights. Anything that comes up that the rest of us might want to do something about, or improve, is "just a conspiracy". Poverty?... "It's their own fault for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps." You can go on and on.

Why care when you don't have to? :shrug: Just be a Republican.

(1) You must take a leadership position in the community,
(2) You must divide the community between us vs. them. The "us" are people with money, or people who think they have money vs. "them" people who may be in need, or just people who don't look like the "us" people. i.e. triguenos.
(3) You must figure out a way to use your leadership position to get inside information, and boldly use it for personal benefit, WHILE you screw over the people you're suppose to be representing. But this is the catch between a Republican and an ordinary crook: To be a good Republican, you need to network with other leaders in the community who are doing the same thing.
(4) And that gets us to step (4). Donate freely to your church of choice so you can have a "clean" veneer in the public. So that the priest or minister or "good people" of the community always have a kind word to say about you.

when they trigger Armageddon

and we won't respect you for it

I prefer sick an tired.
