Just a little Rep. bashing. Rules for being a Republican 1.Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you are millionaire conservative radio jock, which makes it an "illness" and needs our prayers for your "recovery". 2.You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own. 3.You have to believe that the US should get out of the UN, and that our highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq. 4.You have to believe that government should stay out of people's lives but it needs to punish anyone caught having private sex with the "wrong" gender. 5. You have to believe that pollution is ok, so long as it makes a profit. 6.You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha. 7."Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India. 8.You have to believe that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body, but that large multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind with no regulation whatsoever. 9.You have to believe that you love Jesus and Jesus loves you, and that Jesus shares your hatred of AIDS victims, homosexuals, and Hillary Clinton. 10.You hate the ACLU for representing convicted felons, but they owed it to the country to bail out Oliver North. 11.You have to believe that the best way to encourage military morale is to praise the troops overseas whilecutting their VA benefits. 12.You believe that group sex and drug use are degenerate sins that can only be purged by running for governor of California as a Republican. 13.You have to believe it is wise to keep condoms out of schools, because we all know if teenagers don't have condoms they won't have sex. 14.You have to believe that the best way to fight terrorism is to alienate our allies and then demand their cooperation and money. 15.You have to believe that government medicine is wrong and that HMO's and insurance companies only have your best interests at heart. 16.You have to believe that providing health care to all Iraqis is sound government policy but providing health care to all Americans is socialism personified. 17.You believe that tobacco's link to cancer and global warming are "junk science", but Creationism should be taught in schools. 18.You have to believe that waging war with no exit strategy was wrong in Vietnam but right in Iraq. 19.You have to believe that Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney was doing business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion. 20.You believe that government should restrict itself to just the powers named in the Constitution, which includes banning gay marriages and censoring the internet. 21.You have to believe that the public has a right to know about the adulterous affairs of Democrats, while those of Republicans are a "private matter". 22.You have to believe that the public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades but that Bush was right to censor those 28 pages from the Congressional 9/11 report because you just can't handle the truth. 23.You support state rights, which means Ashcroft telling states what locally passed voter initiatives he will allow them to have. 24.You have to believe that what Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital national interest but what Bush did decades later is "stale news" and "irrelevant". 25.You have to believe that trade with Cuba is wrong because it is communist, but trading with China and Vietnam is just dandy.

I think this, and the Rules for being a Democrat counter-version, have been floating around the internet for at least 4 years.
Well it's the first time i've seen this one. It must have been updated considering the references to the Iraq war, Governor Terminator and the conservative talk show host (forgot his name).
I guess this is the updated Democrat one: Top 25 Rules for Being a Democrat 1. Drug addiction is a disease that should be treated with compassion and understanding...unless the addict is a Conservative talk show host. 2. The United States should be subservient to the United Nations. Our highest authority is not God and the U.S. Constitution, but a collective of tinpot dictators (and their appeasers) and the U.N. charter. 3. Government should relax drug laws regardless of the potential for abuse, but should pass new and unConstitutional anti-gun laws because of the potential for abuse. 4. Calls for increased security after a terrorist attack are "political opportunism," but calls for more gun control after a criminal's spree killing is "a logical solution." 5. "It Takes a Village" means everything you want it to mean...except creeping socialist government involvement in the nuclear family. 6. Disarming innocent, law-abiding citizens helps protect them from evil, lawless terrorists and other thugs. 7. Slowly killing an unborn innocent by tearing it apart limb from limb is good. Slowly killing an innocent disabled woman by starving her to death is good. Quickly killing terrorists, convicted murderers and rapists is BAD. 8. Every religion should be respected and promoted in public schools the name of diversity, so long as that religion isn't Christianity. 9. The best way to support our troops is to criticize their every move. This will let them know they're thought of often. 10. Sexual harassment, groping and drug use are degenerate if you're the governor of California, but it's okay if you're the President of the United States. 11. Sex education should be required so that teens can make informed choices about sex, but gun education should be banned because it will turn those same teens into maniacal mass-murderers. 12. Minorities are blameless for the hatred of the racist; women are blameless for the hatred of the rapist; but America is entirely at fault for the hatred of Islamofascists. 13. Poverty is the cause of all terrorism...which is why the leaders of al Qaeda are typically U.S.-educated and were raised in wealth and luxury. 14. The Patriot Act is a horrific compromise of Constitutional rights, but anti-Second Amendment laws and Franklin Roosevelt's Presidential Order 9066 must be regarded "reasonable precautions." 15. We should unquestioningly honor the wishes of our age-old allies, even when said allies no longer act like our allies and have vested economic interests in propping up our enemies. 16. Socialized medicine is the ideal. Nevermind all those people who spend every dime they have to get to the United States so they can get quality medical care...that their nation's socialized medical community can't provide. 17. Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky and Natalie Maines are perfectly qualified to criticize our leadership, but Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charlton Heston, and Dennis Miller are just ignorant political hacks. 18. John Lott's research on how gun ownership reduces crime is junk science, but Michael Bellesiles is still an authority on why gun control is good (even though he was forced to resign from Emory due to research misconduct over his book "Arming America"). 19. Bush's toppling the Saddam regime was a "diversion," but Clinton's lobbing a couple of cruise missiles at Iraq in the thick of the Lewinsky sex scandal was "sending a message." 20. A president who lies under oath is okay, but a president who references sixteen words from an allies' intelligence report should be dragged through the streets naked. 21. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning Second Amendment rights and shopping the courts for judges sympathetic to causes that wouldn't pass in any legislature. 22. "The People" in the First Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Fourth Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Ninth Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Tenth Amendment means The People; but "the People" in the Second Amendment (ratified in 1791) means the National Guard (created by an Act of Congress in 1903). 23. You support a woman's "right to choose" to kill her unborn child, but don't believe that same woman is competent enough to homeschool the children she bears. 24. Proven draft-dodging is irrelevant, but baseless claims of AWOL status is crucial to national security. 25. Threatening to boycott Dr. Laura's and Rush Limbaugh's advertisers is exercising Freedom of Speech, but threatening to boycott CBS's "The Reagans" and Liberal actors over their asinine anti-American remarks is censorship and McCarthyist blacklisting.
The fact that both of these lists contain some of the most insane logic ever dreamed up is why almost 75% of the country identifies themselves as an independent.
I found this one interesting. But it's a half truth. Kinda like a lot of these.... Poverty is just one aspect of terrorism. The educated leaders of the impoverish country end up using their people as resources for their cause. They need a base to "preach to." This is similar to any Christian monarchy in the past (or today) that use their Christian base to fight for their political cause (crusades of the past).
Again, to be fair, there are far more conservatives pushing for relaxed drug laws these days than there are liberals. Both parties are at fault for the miserable state of our drug laws.

Andy I agree that the drug laws are a miserable disgrace. Can you point me to a source that shows more conservatives are for relaxed drugs laws than liberals? I tend to doubt that.
Not sure about this...but what about the idea that liberals would want personal use laws for canibis to be relaxed, but conservaties would want drug corporations to produce those drugs (again, relaxed laws). Heh...as in, the liberals get stoned. But the conservaties get rich of that "stonedness.
