Who We Are


We are not the stereotype of the typical Republican. We drink. We smoke. We cuss. We like The Simpsons and Family Guy, but we love South Park. We are Goldwater Girls Gone Wild and cynical punk rockers and drunk frat boys and bong-toting Burkeans and chain smoking blue collars and right-wing ravers and conservative clubbers and postmodern iconoclasts and Wall Streeters partying like it's 1982. We are metalheads and deadheads and parrotheads. Our heroes include Johnny Ramone, Jonah Goldberg, Greg Gutfeld, Hank Jr., P.J. O'Rourke, Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, Ted Nugent, Neal Peart of Rush, Kid Rock, Andy Levy, Andrew Breitbart and Frank Kelly Rich. We love Ronald Reagan and PBR with straight shots, and Margaret Thatcher and fine cigars with Scotch. We often lean more libertarian than traditional conservative on certain issues, and would love to kick the ass of anyone wearing a Che t-shirt. We care a helluva lot more about a candidate's tax policy than past drug use. We are well informed on pop culture, the latest music, and Milton Friedman. We read National Review, Ayn Rand, and The Onion. Our religious beliefs range from devout to atheist, but we are more likely to be nursing a hangover on Sunday morning than in a church pew. And we are getting damn tired of people exclaiming, "YOU'RE a Republican?!?!"

Heil Nancy, and other Dem-fascist-Nazi-isms

And thus we commence with the royal screw-ups by none other than our beloved Leader (Heil!) of the House, Nancy Pelousy. Disregarding all the flak the Republican side of Congress had already been receiving about blocking the passage of the economic bailout plan, or EESA, one would be led to believe that the speech immediately prior to the vote would have been filled with fanciful notions of bipartisan cooperation and Kumbaya while merrily handing the bill off to the Oval Office. No, instead, it appears ol' Nan had a horrendous hair day and someone tripped her on the way to the podium and she launched some nasty, thoughtless tirade against President Bush and any citizen with two brain cells to rub together. That gave Democrats more ammunition to blame the Republicans for the bill's failure, claiming that they should have not allowed their negative emotions to dissuade them from voting for it.

However, the Dems should look a little more closely at the vote tally. 133 Republicans voted no... but 95 Democrats did as well. And Barney Franks is railing on us for causing the bill to fail? I beg to differ.

Maybe Senator Obama should have called these 95 dissenters and used his Obamessiah mind-changing powers on them. He is the One who came up with this bill and inserted it into the minds of his congressional minions, after all.

(Insert Howard Dean YEARRRGH! here)
