How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?

[MrScorpio]

[calimary]

1. EXCELLENT!

[demwing]

2. They'd like to change the light bulb

but first they demand an amendment to the light bulb bill stipulating that life begins 5 seconds before conception (a time more commonly known to Republicans as "During Foreplay&quot .

[Marie Marie]

3. True, but they all enjoy the part where they get to do the screwing.

[DebJ]

25. ROFL

[rurallib]

4. Some truth to top off the 4th. Thank you, MrS!

[GoCubsGo]

5. Actually, it's six.

One to screw in the bulb, and five to complain about how much better the old bulb was. Unless they are the Romneys, Addlesons, Ricketts, etg., in which case they get the help to screw in the bulb.

[Chiyo-chichi]

6. How many DUers does it take to change a lightbulb?

At least 48.

One troll to blame Obama for the burnout of the previous bulb because of his War on Incandescents.

35 DUers to complain within the first thirty seconds about how dark it is in here.

One DUer to post a poll (with a completely unrelated agenda) about the wattage of the new bulb.

One DUer to alert on the bulb because the burnout was disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

Three DUers to clamor to serve on the jury, only to find that they have clicked the link too late and that the light bulb jury has already been seated.

Three DUers to vote that they see nothing wrong with the light bulb's behavior and to let it stand.

Three DUers to vote to hide the bulb -- no explanation given.

And Skinner, who despite the other 47, changes the bulb less than a minute after the old bulb burned out.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. Priceless!

DUzy!

[dionysus]

21. you should PM that to skinner, thats the funniest post i've seen in ages.

[pscot]

7. No amount of gubmint intrusion can force them to change a light bulb

If that lightbulb was good enough for Ben Franklin it's damn sure good enough for them and no islamo-commie Kenyan Muslim is going to tell them they can't sit in the dark and complain about it at the top of their lungs.

[Initech]

8. None - they let the job creators have offshore workers change it for them.

[freshwest]

9. What's a lightbulb?

[Big Orange Jeff]

10. 1,000,001 - One to screw it in...

...and 1,000,000 to swear the light came on as soon as the screwing started.

[Lugnut]

11. That's perfect!

K&R

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. They'd hire some undocumented worker to do it.

And pay him less than minimum wage.

[tanyev]

15. And then pay a team of PR people a scandalous sum to hide their use of an undocumented worker.

[the_chinuk]

13. And the electricity that powers it? Socialism, pure and simple. n/t

[HopeHoops]

16. None. They claim it's a tax on light.

[ahg]

17. Light is only a theory.

[meow2u3]

18. It takes three

One to bark out the orders to the slave janitor; a second actually to change the bulb; and a third to blame the Democrats for the light having been blown.

[krispos42]

19. 230, exactly

218 Republican congresscritters to pass a bill for the light bulb change
10 Republicans to join 51 Democrats to pass the bill after the House passes it (53 Dems, minus RW tools Lieberman and Nelson, plus 10 Repubes, to overcome a reflexive filibuster by the Senate Republicans)
1 contractor to actually change the bulb
1 Treasury Department bureaucrat to pay $5,000 for the service, because the contractor is a Republican Party donor.

[LiberalEsto]

20. They refuse to change the lightbulb

because they would rather go back to using candles and oil lamps.

[paparush]

22. Republicans? Change? Puhlease...

[Flatpicker]

23. You forgot

About the baggers outside with signs claiming "Fix Old, No New".
And Glen Beck and Limbaugh telling their viewers that the bulb was still working, but this is a conspiracy to take away your right to use a good Christian bulb.

[Javaman]

24. None, they would argue over it for years in the dark.

claiming how the light bulb changers union was being paid to much and killing the incentive to do more light bulb changing then quickly change to the topic to pro-life legislation.

[IDemo]

26. None -

They would argue that whale oil lamps are good enough for anybody.

[bongbong]

27. One Hundred

Fifty to fellate fifty assorted billionaires, and fifty to blame the broken light bulb on "evil libruls!".

[GopperStopper2680]

28. Oh they'll change it....

If it benefits THEM directly. But first they have to create a media circus over how much it's going to cost and which one of them is conservative enough to do it...et al...

[Hubert Flottz]

29. How many republicans does it take to do the right thing?

Nobody knows, because the world is still waiting for that to ever take place.

30. How many Rethugs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None ... They only screw the poor.

[red dog 1]

31. How many tea-baggers does it take to change a light bulb?

Last edited Fri Jul 6, 2012, 12:43 AM - Edit history (1)

None. When tea-baggers see a dim bulb they elect it to Congress.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. At least Biden would fix the bulb and not pretend that the light is fake.
