I read in today's paper what a woman wrote explaining why she's a Democrat. Let me tell you why I'm not. I'm a Republican because:
I believe in a sovereign God who sometimes gives us what we deserve.
I believe Muslims are our enemies.
I believe in life. A baby is not just a fetus, but a living being no matter where it resides.
I believe there is a good reason for the death penalty.
I believe in fiscal responsibility, for the government and for us.
I believe the government is way too big and rife with greed and corruption.
I believe in the truth. People believe lies because it's much easier than finding the truth.
I believe in personal responsibility. That includes spanking your children.
I believe American women should raise their own children and American men should be men enough to pay for children they've produced.
I believe a man and woman make marriage. Period.
I believe in America first and foremost and we ought to take care of our own people, our own land, and illegal aliens should go home.
I believe in guns and knowing how to use them properly.
I believe war is a fact of life and we should always win.
I believe in lower taxes. I know how to spend money better than Congress any day
I believe in voter ID.
I believe there is a moderate and a socialist in this election. I agree with a two-party system, but Obama isn't a messiah or a democrat.
He's a Muslim socialist.

She had a really good argument going there until the last line, "He's a muslim socialist". It really weakens the GOP's argument when they say things like that, people just don't buy it.
You know, I would hope, 'He's a Muslim socialist' would be the thing that undermined her argument for me, but from the beginning I thought every comment of hers was pretty ridiculous. Believing in fiscal responsibility doesn't make you a Republican. It makes you a Democrat (Compare: Clinton V W. Bush). Believing in spanking your child doesn't make your a Republican. Believing that Muslims are our enemies just makes you an idiot. And it's nice that she believes that "A baby is not just a fetus, but a living being no matter where it resides," but what should us Jews do? I don't believe a baby is a baby at conception. Should all Jewish Republicans be thrown out of the party?
