My Democratic friend just emailed me this. Can anybody help me write a refutation????? PLease!!
Not true, Jesus has never proven Hillary Clinton is a Homosexual.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
Let's set the record straight, JFK imposed Trade on Cuba, Nixon lifted them on China, and Bush the elder did so on Viet Nam.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
If we got out of the UN we wouldn't have to enforce the resolutions they won't enforce without our help, you know like the dire consequences for Iraq for failing to abide by UN resolutions.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
Multi-national corporations don't go into a woman's womb and kill their unborn children, at least not yet but the democrats are working on it.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
No one is stopping democrats from raising benefits and pay for our veterans, they can do so when ever they want to.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
And the hallways will be a lot easier to clean and wax.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
It has always worked well enough for them with us.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
Wait until the Iraqis get the bill, think they are angry now, when they find out they are the test bed for Hillary care they will spontaneously combust.
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
Live patients can still pay their bills, the government will take your money even after you are dead. That's why Government healthcare is neither healthy or caring.
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
Global warming is Gaia's PMS, (honestly Gaia is the name of the earth's spirit, and some scientists believe that Gaia will use Global warming to rid the earth of human pollution) and the Native Americans taught the Europeans settlers that smoking would help them to speak to The Gods of the Earth.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
There is a difference between lying about sex and being wrong based upon the lies of your enemies, sadly most liberals can't grasp either of these concepts.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
And if Democrats had been able to stop Abe Lincoln and The Republicans in the 1860's slavery would still be legal as well.
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
George Bush never killed a cow, Hillary's cattle trades did.
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
Conservative pray for liberals as well, especially since we believe that all liberals are sick, stoned or crazy to begin with.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
If more people had listen to what Clinton did in the 1960's, he never would have been Governor.
Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail is expected.
Hollywood celebrities paid P.E.T.A. Billions for those orange vests made especially for quails, I blame Hollywood and P.E.T.A.
Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck with more Republicans in '06 and '08.
And if you send it to 10 republicans they all laugh at your histrionics.
Friends don't let friends vote Republican.
Just like a liberal to think they can stop anyone from voting republican.
AIDS is spread by lack of federal funding.
19) The spread of AIDS is caused by lack of research funding.
GMTA!
If you still need a rebuttal, I'll do my best. It should at least make your friiend think but no promises though.
"Things you have to believe to vote Republican today:"
This should be good.
"1. 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."
Pres. Reagan never armed Saddam. What we did was give satellite surveillance pictures to him. Besides, if the Mullahnuts win and the ME becomes a giant JIHADLAND, the libs will fume at Reagan for "ignoring terrorism" instead of "helping Saddam".
Halliburton and the VP had NO connections/operations/ and projetcs in Iraq whatsoever. None.
I guess the Pres. war to prosecute Saddam for ignoring international law that resulted in 50 million freed Iraqis is a "diversion" while Desert Sham and the premature annihilation strikes of the Toons which resulted in absolutely nothing whatsoever were "real wars". I'd rather have more "diversions" than "real wars".
"2. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with
China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony."
Cuba is an unapologetic communist hellhole making no pretense of reform, democratising, and diplomacy. China and Vietnam are willing to at least have a facade of such and is thus more acceptable in the yese of the world. Needless to say, in the event of war with either we will not be bending over like Peanut man or the XXX.
"3. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest
national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq."
The leftists of all people should know about using people to make a case. They don't give two bits about minorities, women, tolerance or anything else.If it would get them to power, they'd support Nazi germany, Apartheid South Africa and the bourgeuouis [sp] United States. As long as the UN has a shred of currency and credibility, we will use it to bolster our case and cause. Just because something is bad doesn't mean everthing about it should be discarded. This quote is pretty good despite coming form Hitler:
"Such luck for leaders that people don't think."
"4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without
regulation, especially so if they are paying women less than men."
It's more than her body. In case they forget, ha, there is still a viable being inside of her. MAkes just as much as saying "a man can't be trusted with his own wife" and relating it to domestic abuse. I have yet to see mega-corps commit genocide and bring servitude the way states have, so hell yeah I trust uberbusinesses with "decisions affecting mankind". Dystopian fantasies of Corporations running the world are just that, fantasies.
"5. Jesus is GOD (and all that implies, like omnipotent, omnscient, and He Created Everything!
He loves *You*...and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary."
Hatred is unChristian. Period. But because we are fallen, we succumb. In any case, we hate the Hildeb!tch because she is an affront to everything this country and the Lord that rules over all stands for. Homosexuals otoh we don't hate. If we do hate certain homosexuals it is because they molest children, try to sexualize and degrade our culture, are Communist enemies of the Constitution, or all of the above.
"6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in flowery
speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay."
Pure bull. We did no such thing.
"7. If condoms AND LIBERAL SEX ED are kept out of schools, adolescents won't BE INCLINED/ENCOURAGED TO have sex."
Corrected.
"8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then
demand their cooperation and money."
Who spearheaded the Ports lunacy? Enough said.
"9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health
care to all Americans is socialism."
Thgere is no such program in Iraq. Next. (Man this is sweet! My responses are getting shorter :)
"10. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at
heart."
They are businesses first and foremost. While many within the system are good working people, we harbor no such delusions. Also, I have yet to see insurance and HMOs screw over as many people as "free universal" healthcare does in Canada and other Europeon nations. Next.
"11. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools."
Creationism does not purport to be a science but a school of thought. Essentially it is saying "God created all."
Ohh. How dreadful and unstable. Look out I might whip out a cross and start beating hippies to death.
On contrast, pseudo studies have been used to push forward totalitarian and anti-freedom measures in regards to business and tobacco. Saying "God makes all" 50 times does not register as much damage as a single Truth ad if the net result is that Americans lose just a bit more of their freedoms.
Lastly, we are willing to admit Creationism is an opinion guided by belief, agenda pushers lie that their fake statistics and degenerative policies are gospel and should be taken as such or the children will suffer.
Creationists: We want to present another idea in the arena of ideas.
Global Warming/Anti-Tobacco Extremists: Support my policies or you hate children. I don't care if the method is questionable and research is flawed. Do you hate children or not?
Now, who would you rather listen to?
"12. A president lying about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense.
A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is
solid defense policy."
The Saddam documents are there. Start reading and don't stop. Next.
"13. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution,
which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet."
Homosexual marraige - Constitutional Ammendment, therefore "powers named in UCon"
Internet- Most conservatives oppose such things including the PResident. ("Change the channel.") NExt.
"14. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George
Bush's driving record is none of our business."
One is a felony and serious criminal offense designed to benefit no one but herself. The other is a misdemeanor mitigated by the fact that he was trying to drive slowly so as not to endanger other people. Of course, DUI is still a crime but at least he had concern for others sharing the road. Not like an unnamed Senator from MA. Next.
"15. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a
conservative radio host. Then it's an illness, and you need our prayers for
your recovery."
Addiction is a moral failing, a crime (in the legal sense), and an illness. But in the end, we all suffer from such failings. There is a world of difference between prescription and narcotics addiction. The latter requires full knowledge of breaking the law, is intentional, and has a greater net harm on the health of the nation and its people. While we are not too fond of addicts, most of us hope that they will find the path to a clean living, esp with God's grace.
"16. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft
can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt."
The burden of proof is on the prosecutor, not the accused. Prove it.
"17. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but
what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant."
When a President went to an enemy nation and engaged in riots and clashes with the police and may have even raped a student, I think it is pretty d@mn vital to national security.
"Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people,
we're likely to be stuck with Bush for 4 more years."
A little late, dearie. :)
"Friends don't let friends vote Republican."
Republicanism has been tried for 200 years. Contemporary Democratism came in vogue in the 1960s. Look at conditions then and now.
Who shouldn't be voting who again? :)
Hope this helps. Good luck, FReeper. :)
Thanks. :)
I got the exact same email message from a good old friend back in Chicago. He happens to be Jewish.
I simply ignored his message and emailed him back a copy of Mark Steyn as quoted in the Jerusalem Post.

I think. Errr, I know I won that one.
Things you have to believe to be a Republican today: Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
I'm an atheist so I'll have to pass on this one.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
I'd be happy to embargo China and Vietnam.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
If we can't get out of the UN then we'll have to make the damn thing work. I'd rather we got out, though.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
I have never seen such a non-sequitor in all my life. I have no idea what one has to do with another.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
I'd be happy to raise combat pay and veterans' benefits, being a vet myself.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
Liberals are the ones who want to get the soda machines out of schools. Something about encouraging good choices and setting an example. Silly stuff like that.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
If you think France is an ally, you are indeed a liberal.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
I have no interest in providing Iraqis with health care unless they intend to pay us back with cheap oil.
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
And huge government-funded juggernauts are more empathetic? Have you ever been to the DMV?
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
Again, I'm an atheist, so this one doesn't apply.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
Bush didn't lie. Saddam had WMD and they are probably hidden in Syria now.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
I don't know any conservatives who want to censor the internet. Banning gay marriage is simply to prevent liberals from using the judiciary to force us to accept it. Stop using the judiciary to do end-runs around the Constitution and we'll stop trying to prevent it.
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
Find out whatever you want about Bush's driving record, I don't give a s***.
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
Being addicted to pain killers legally prescribed is a little different from being addicted to recreational street drugs that you knew darn well were illegal to start with.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
Knowing someone is and has always been a communist sympathizer is important. Knowing someone was unfocused and didn't take much seriously when they were young is somewhat less significant as many people are that way when they are young.
Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail is expected.
Tell your liberal friend this one is much more difficult to explain. Then invite them on a hunting trip.

That's really something.
This is the second time I've gone to Freep with no hidden agenda just wanting help. I totally understand how politics makes people crazy, and Freepers aren't paranoid because their enemies are real and prowling all the time. But still, I'm just a part time teacher and mother of small children who likes to tap into the incredible wit of freepers, and I always have somebody telling me to "F" off, etc. etc. I don't get riled like I used to, it's just sad that nobody trusts each other anymore.
Don't worry. It's called "not reading the article". :)
Your bio is a riot!! LOL!!!
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
Nonsense. Jesus loves you too, but the rest of us think you're an obnoxious putz.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
Oh, like the military secrets the previous administration "traded" to China? Hey, what'd we get in return for that, I can't seem to remember.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
If it had been up to me that little enforcement of UN Resolution would have been our swan song. See, I really can disagree WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!!!
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
Hey, she could have said no.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
Wait, since when has a liberal been all worried about someone making more money that wasn't a member of the NEA?
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
Uhhh, yeah ok. If condoms are kept out of schools, that means that kids will have to buy them at Albertson's like everyone else that isn't on welfare. Since they won't have any money, they'll have to get a JOB like everyone else that isn't on welfare in order to buy condoms for their casual sex habit. If you're ready to use a condom, then that must mean you're ready for procreating, right?
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
Wow, that's the best idea I've heard all day! While we're at it, let's ask France how to properly run a military, you know, because they've done so well in the past. That Maginot Line...thing of freakin' beauty!
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
Yeah, because the "cut and run like a little b----" policy is so sound. Oh, and if you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's free!
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
But I thought Hillary and medical malpractice lawyers had my best interest at heart?
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
I just wanted creationism taught in schools so I wouldn't have to look at any more of those stupid Darwin fishes on people's cars. Even if we're wrong about global warming, it's more summer and less Democrat voters. So there.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
In other words...perjury and obstruction of justice: perfectly okay. Fabricating 30 year old documents using Mircosoft Word: also perfectly okay. It must be nice to be a Democrat and do whatever the hell you feel like.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
...and the Equal Rights Amendment and Roe v. Wade. And since when did we get all giddy about censoring the internet? If we censored DU, who would we laugh at besides you?
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
I guess you didn't get the memo about statues of limitation did you? Oh, wait, you're a Democrat, rules are for the little people! Hey, while you're at it, could you fax me Ted Kennedy's driving record? Thanks.
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
No, you see, a drug addiction isn't a "moral failing" so much as a "Democrat constituent".
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
Why, did Bush spend a month and a half in the Soviet Union during the 80's?
Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail is expected.
Unlike Democrats, who support the sons of segregationists and Jim Crow lovers. At least when we shoot someone, we shoot attorneys instead of shooting water hoses at people based on merely skin color.
Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people, we're likely to be stuck with more Republicans in '06 and '08.
Note to self: Don't send this to ten people. Send this to nine people with the subject line "Hey everybody look at this dork!"
Friends don't let friends vote Republican.
Remind me why I'm your friend again?
Thank you. It was going to be much lengthier.
But I got lazy. :P
Don't bother... this is a list of "straw man" arguments.... say something false or specific to be true or general and then refute it.
I met a guy recently who said he came from a family of Democrats, but he is a Republican. When his mother asked him how he could have possibly come to identify with Republicans, he simply said, "Republicans believe in God; Democrats don't."
TOO funny!
LOL! Bush '08! sweet! LOL
