In any election, I would vote Republican if the candidate for the office met the following criteria:

a) Is fully informed and educated of the relevant issues

b) Has been proven not to harm those represented

c) Shows willingness to cooperate with persons of all political, cultural, and religious ideologies

d) Is not a moral or social hypocrite

e) Is NOT evangelical or fundamentalist

f) Is pro-choice

g) Actually upholds the policies of the Republican party (See wikipedia link below)

- Social conservatism

- Economic libertarianism

- Limited government

h) Is the best person for the job

Here are three great reasons for voting republican:

1) Republicans have harder heads than democrats or independents. When dropped on their head from a height of 5 feet, more republicans were able to comprehend Bill O'Reilly Talking Points than independents and democrats combined.

2) Republicans are whiter than democrats at the skin level, redder than independents at the blood level and bluer than anyone at the sadness level - red, white and blue = more American than average.

3) It is easier to live next door to republicans than it is to eat raw sewage - eating ^^it is more detrimental to your health than listening to ^^it.

AND BEFORE ANYONE GETS PO'ed - this is all in jest. Hey, some of my blood relatives and many of my in-laws are republicans.

HAHA, just watched the video.

Best Line:

"Because all other countries are inferior to us, and we should start as many wars as we need to keep it that way".

Yikes that link of McCain's explosions really is disturbing. If he does that to his own peers, I wonder how he'll behave as the head of our country? Can you imagine how that would reflect on an already-damaged American relationship with numerous volatile countries? Oy vey.

The best reason to vote republican is the same best reason to vote for any other.

Because the person running is the best for the job... that is the best reason.

George Bush's presidency has been a disaster. Our ruinous war in Iraq has cost the United States $3 trillion. The United States has had a negative savings rate for some time now and deficit spending is out of control. John McCain has promised more wars and to try to maintain the American imperial system.

Another 4 - 8 years of this and the imperial system has a good chance of collapse. This means a decrease in American power and the ability for the United States to act unilaterally and invade other countries at will will similarly be diminished. This is a good thing. This is a good thing for the world and humanity. John McCain represents the best hope for ensuring the demise of the America's empire.

Vote John McCain.

Unfortunately, because the Republican Party is the lesser of two evils.

The Democratic Party has been the party of evil since its inception. It has been the party of slavery, segregation, the KKK, black codes, Jim Crow, lynching, Japanese internment camps, nuking Japan, and abortion. Every single time there has been a moral choice to be made in this country, the Democrats have come down on exactly the wrong side of the fence.

The Republicans successfully fought and smashed most of the Democrats' crimes against humanity. But it has lost its soul. It doesn't even have the backbone to fight against the greatest crime of all -- abortion. But, they're all we've got -- for now.

Wow. Again I find you, the 35-year journalist, being super fair and balanced. Not to mention honest. If the Democratic Party was so racist, as you say, then the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a huge step in the wrong damn direction.

Why shouldn't companies be required to clean up their messes? To think otherwise is ridiculous. Why should we have to deal with the consequences of these corporations' manufacturing techniques?

edit: I realize you just quoted something in the video, probably for comedic effect, but my argument remains valid.

Sorry, I don't think you recognized the sarcasm in my argument. Watch the video and you'll probably chuckle.
