Republican: I am Pro Life, every precious human being deserves a chance to live.
Good, I am glad that you are such an admirable Christian. This babys mother needs government assistance when it comes to food/housing
Republican: Lazy welfare queen; no government assistance
Hey this kids school needs government funding.
Republican: Damn public schools and teachers union; pull their funding
This kid needs an after school lunch program
Republican: These programs are dumb get rid of them
This kid needs to be on Medicaid
Republican: THAT HEALTCARE IS SOCIALISM
Now this kid is 18 and wants to go to college, needs help with a Pell Grant or Government Loan
Republican: SOCIALISM
Like I said this kid is 18 and wants to vote. The problem is he has no id because he never had a license, and since you took away his chance for college he doesnt even have a school id.
Republican: No id no voting
This kid isnt doing much with his life since he couldnt afford school and got caught up in his bad soicial environment. Unfortunately, he has killed someone.
Republican: DEATH PENALTY; KILL HIM

(17 posts)A Day in the Life of Joe Republican (Conservative)
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee.
The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.
With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication.
His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs.
Joes bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath.
The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work.
It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
Joes employer pays these standards because Joes employer doesnt want his employees to call the union.
If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, hell get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didnt think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills.
Joes deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joes money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive.
His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didnt want to make rural loans.
The house didnt have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck His nose where it didnt belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldnt have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good.
He doesnt mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: We dont need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, Im a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.
(*Note: this was originally published (anonymously) under the title A Day in the Life of Joe Republican. But this is a misnomer. In the last 140 years, the Republican and Democratic parties have switched sides several times, with one being conservative and the other being liberal. But labels and party affiliations change. What doesnt change are the underlying political philosophies of liberalism and conservatism, and the fact that the liberals usually turned out to be right and the conservatives turned out to be wrong. And so it goes. Source: http://www.hcdems.com/misc/joe_conservative.html (no longer active at this time) Thanks goes to author, speaker and radio host Thom Hartmann, that is where I first heard it. There are many versions floating around on the internet also. NO ONE can argue when the facts are laid out for all to see.)
I am working on a series and was researching hypocrisy. This was the best dang thing I read in so long! LOL
