  • A Case For The Republicans

    We are a mere six or seven weeks before the election and things are really heating up. I know a lot of people don't vote in the non-presidential elections, but my belief is that all elections are of equal importance. In case you missed it, the Tea Party is all the rage right now, although they claim to be different from the Republicans, in reality they are pretty much just an extreme right wing version of the Republican party. Like the Republicans, they believe in less government. Of course they were against the health care reform bill because they don't believe the government should be meddling in people's lives. Honestly, who can disagree with that statement. The Tea Party and Republicans have been screaming that they want their country back because they feel the Democrats have gone too far and have taken over many businesses, such as the car companies and many of the financial companies with the bailouts. Their core belief is less government as they believe that is what the Constitution says. Much like the original revolutionaries during the American revolution, they take a hard stance against government intrusion into people's lives. So if you are against government intervention in your life, here are some reasons to vote for Republicans and the Tea Party come November:

    • They are against repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Why should everybody have the right to fight for their country, I mean after all, being gay is morally wrong. And in a time in which we need every solider we can get to fight, clearly it is more important that we only have straight people in our military.
    • They are against gay marriage and gay rights. Look people, the government clearly has the right to tell you who you can or can not have sex with. It is the government's business what goes on in your bedroom; sure we don't want the government telling insurance companies how to run their businesses, but it is perfectly acceptable for the government to intrude into your sex life. Even the Republican party in Montana knows how important it is to stop consenting adults from doing whatever they want to each other, after all one of their platforms is to make homosexuality illegal in Montana. 
    • And why stop at sex with other people? Delaware Tea Party Senatorial Candidate Christine O'Donnell believes that masterbation is adultery. That's a relief, for a while there I thought that I would have to spend the rest of my life jerking off, but now that it is adultery and therefore illegal, I won't have the freedom of choice to do it anymore.
    • Republicans hate government so much that are pro choice: when it comes to abortion, they want to make the choice for you, and that choice is no. That's not intrusive though as they certainly have made the best choice for you and your unborn child, after all, its better to shove a hanger up your vagina to abort the baby yourself than you safely have a doctor do it.
    • When it comes to prayer in school, everybody has the right for their kids to be taught Christianity just like it doesn't say in the Constitution.
    • Say you are dying a slow and painful death of something like cancer or some other awful disease. The last decision you should have to make is if you want to die peacefully or not, so the Republicans and Tea Party want to make this decision for you by not allowing you to kill yourself by assisted suicide. Oh sure, if you are a horse who breaks his leg, the humane and legal thing to do is kill the horse, but a person who is dying a slow, painful death, well that would be barbaric to put him out of his misery.
    • 420, yo, how about no? It does less damage than alcohol or tobacco, but when it comes to marijuana, adults can not be trusted to make the decision for themselves. You have to be 18 to smoke cigarettes, 21 to drink but pot, nah, that's not something that only the government knows what is best for you. 

    See, the Republicans want to make it easy for you: treat you like a child so you don't have to make any decisions for yourself, even though you are perfectly capable of making these decisions. So if you want the government to control your life, vote for the Tea Party and Republicans come November.
