Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. But if you want to be a GOOD REPUBLICAN, there are some prerequisites you must believe in first. Compare the below and see how you rate. 1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by an angry God. 2. You have to believe that the same former V.P. and current President who can't spell on a 4th grade level are somehow qualified to have have children. 3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are necessary to protect one's home against Chinese communists. 4. You have to believe that art is generally for sissies, although private donations to the arts are okay to help with tax liabilities. 5. You have to have central air, and the wife has to have an SUV for grocery shopping. 6. You have to believe being homosexual is not genetic, and that thing you did with your cousin Eddy when you were 13 doesn't mean anything. 7. You have believe in the death penalty, but have a PRO-LIFE bumper sticker on your car. 8. You have to believe that you would have been successful without your Daddy's help. 9. You have to believe that being out in the woods is fun, but being out in the woods killing things is "funner." 10. You have to believe that putting down others makes you look better. 11. You have to believe that wars benefit the people, rather than just the military and corrupt politicians. 12. You have to believe that the ACLU only supports certain parts of the constitution. 13. You have to believe that any tax cut that would help your family out must "probably" trickle down to the masses, and as far as ATM fees go, most poor people don't have checking accounts anyway. 14. You have to believe that nobody will notice you have misspelled Gloria Steinem's last name as "Steinmen," and you must believe that General Lee belongs on a list of great Americans before General Grant. 15. You have to believe that it isn't racist to prefer one's own color and ethnicity. 16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is leading a conspiracy to turn your wife against you. 17. You have to believe that capitalism is a political ideology. 18. You have to believe that Republicans don't lie, they just get senile and/or weren't smart enough to know the truth in the first place. 19. You have to believe that you understand the difference between the Constitutional guarantees of Freedom of Expression the Separation of Church and State. 20. You have to believe that selling arms to Iran and aiding the Nicaraguan Contras was somehow in the best interest of the United States.
