Duly forwarded. Thanks.
Did I forward that to you? I got the same email a couple of days ago.
I’m telling Media Matters and Morris Dees!
Ahem….so precisely where does ‘Republican’ Romney fit into the first and seventh items on your list?
“Ahem….so precisely where does ‘Republican’ Romney fit into the first and seventh items on your list?” – Coward
Well lets see:
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If I remember correctly Romney only supported a ban on weapons classified as “assault weapons”. Doing a quick search they are listed as weapons that have two of the following: Rifles – capable of firing a grenade, foldable stock, pistol grip, flash suppressor, and bayonet mount; pistol – magazine outside of pistol grip, threaded barrel for flash suppressor or silencer, barrel shroud than can be used as handhold, weight of 3lbs or more, and semi-automatic version of fully automatic weapon.
Remember it has to have 2 of the above. If you need a gun like that I seriously have to question why. Is where you live that bad? What are you hunting that requires such a gun? Do you just have to HAVE it? There are other options to those questions that do not require you to be as well armed as a third world gunman.

Well according to the Massachusetts Healthcare law (“Romney Care”) it actually helps remove people from the Democrat option and ecourages them into the Republican option. Romney Care actually encourages people to aquire their own health care coverage instead of using emergency care and skipping out on payment or staying on Medicare rolls. Not a big fan of “social engineering” but sadly sometimes government needs to revise policy to prevent abuse.
I suspect the real Blue response would be that the Republican gets the subsidy but doesn’t understand that it was provided by Democrats. To which the Republican responds, I paid for it, so damn well I am going to take it. But if it is cut, I won’t cry a river.
If a Republican sees a man down and out, he helps him. If a Democrat sees a man down and out, he forces someone else to help him.
I tweaked it a little, for consistency:
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
If a Democrat is down-and-out, he wonders how the Government is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
If a Democrat doesn’t like a talk show host, he demands that they be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.

If a Democrat reads this he will delete it because he’s “offended”.
Mind if I reblog this?
Not at all, go for it.
How about:
If a Republican doesn’t agree with you, he doesn’t agree with you.
If a Democrat doesn’t agree with you, he calls you a RAAAAACIST and a HAAAAAATER and accuses you of WAAAAAGING A WAAAAAR ON WOOOOMEN….
