The Tao of Republican Orthodoxy

Another brochure.

This time we're delving into what it means to be a Republican, especially the RNC's vision of what it means to be a republican.

[OneWingedShark]

Their only principle is to have no principles, their only strategy is preemptive surrender, and their only plan for victory is to tick off the base as much as possible.

This is true.

Don’t tell me! I’ve got this one!

A politically correct, bi-racial greeting by tadpoles!

Did you do one for the Democrats? I’d like to see it.

No... at least not yet.
So mean, giving me another idea.

;)

You might want to add a line about gun control to the Romney vs Obama page.

The DNC wrote the rule book.

Ping me when you have it to your final satisfaction, and I'll get some printed off and pass them around.

I think I have it done to the best of my satisfaction; the Snowden/McCain thing is likely the weakest point, but I can't think of something else to show the statist approach to security (at the expense of liberty, constitution, and law).

You can try the link, but I think the google-viewer is altering the document (certain text replaced by different fonts). If you pop me your email address via FR-mail I'll attach this final revision and send it to you. [If you want, I can also tweak the settings to "commercial printing" which will have a bigger file-size for the PDF but should be higher quality.]

sadly, a person has to really read the whole thing to realize the sarcasm and that it isnt an actual supportive brochure...

maybe add a line from Lord of the Rings and a hobbit reference to the mcquuuueg side ???

But how else are we going to get the RNC to print and distribute them for us?

What did you have in mind?

[EternalVigilance]

Ah, the symbol of the Democrat Republican Party.

[OneWingedShark]

Hey EV!
What’s your opinion on the brochure?

[EternalVigilance]

These people are beyond satire. They’re a caricature of themselves.

LOL — that's the most common criticism/complaint for this brochure: it's too realistic and needs to be read all the way through to really get the satire.
I dunno about you, but sometimes the subtle humor can be the best.

Go with the flow

I think I remember from The Tao of Poo that eyore is taist

Your thoughts?

[Syncro]

Just ran across this, the link goes to a blank page with a link called “sign in” in the upper right.

What type of personal information does google require to get the pdf to appear?

Or better yet, is it available without “signing in” to see it?

Thanks.

[OneWingedShark]

It’s an odd and intermittent error that doesn’t allow some people to see it* — Freepmail me your address and I’ll attach/send a copy of the PDF.

* The sharing setting is “anyone with a link” (no login required), so besides going full public I’m unsure how to address the issue. [It could be a regression due to one of Google’s “updates”.]

The "Tao" of the Republican Party should be the Constitution.

We can dream, can't we?

[OneWingedShark]

> The “Tao” of the Republican Party should be the Constitution.

It should be, but looking back at the Party during my [political] lifetime (and what it’s expended effort on) makes me think that they *never* really wanted to follow the Constitution.

> We can dream, can’t we?

Dreaming is good; without vision the people perish. [Pv 29:18]
