I recently read the list of things you need to believe to be a Republican today by Ann Richards. I thought I would create a new list as a tribute to her memory.
1)That Donald Rumsfeld and the high ranking officers in Iraq and Afghanistan knew nothing about the torture but Lindy England and others in both Iraq and Afghanistan packed dog collars as a fashion statement.
2)That tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans really do trickle down to the peons below.
3)That everything is Bill Clinton's fault and George W. Bush is actually qualified to be President.
4)That having a President that sounds like a second grader is cute.
5)That Rush Limbaugh is not a hypocrite when he advocated longer sentences for drug crimes while sending out his maid with cigar boxes of cash to score him some hillbilly heroin and Ann Coulter is the true 40 Year Old Virgin.
6)That 100 dead people a day in sectarian violence in Iraq is not civil war but a giant step toward democracy.
7)That global warming is not really happening its just that the polar bears forgot how to swim.
8)That giving tax credits to companies that outsource jobs is a good way to keep jobs in America.
9)That we really went to liberate the people of Iraq and Oil was never a reason to invade.
10)That Pakistan is really an ally in the war on terror. There jails were just overcrowded when they released the Taliban fighters.
