I am a Republican Atheist, but I haven’t voted for a Republican since Christie Whitman because I haven’t been able to do so.I believe in gun rights, a small government, low taxes, and a strong military. I believe the unions can be just as corrupt as corporations, and I believe in “workfare not welfare”.But I can’t vote Republican, ever, because they have become tools of the Religious Right. They are, in my opinion, much more concerned about Intelligent Design, Faith-Based Initiatives, and making ME a 2nd class citizen than any of the issues on which we agree. I support President Obama, but I really had no choice but to vote for him as Senator McCain had promised more Supreme Court Justices like Scalia. That was a deal killer. It would be like a black person voting for someone who supports segregation — it doesn’t matter what else a candidate says, it’s just not going to happen.So here is my open plea to the incoming GOP President Michael Steele: Please give me my party back. Divorce yourselves from the corruption that is the Religious Right, and return to the values that gave you strength. Religion and politics don’t mix — please learn that. Please be a leader of change, diversity, and modern common sense. Please let me vote Republican, or at least let me give you serious consideration, in the next elections. There can be no change if you give us no choice.

I have told you before. If you want to assure investigations and trials galore concerning all aspects of BushCo’s reign of terror then you knuckle dragging religious conservatives should mobilize and keep squawking. Please!

My most sincere and humble of apologies; I keep forgetting the double standard that only liberals are allowed to do satire — anything done by anyone else is completely tasteless and vulgar.
Let’s see, if it only takes 500K copies to earn a “gold” record, what would 22 million a week deserve?
Yeah, that’s a vice I’m willing to take a chance on.
As they like to say in New Orleans, “yeah-you-right!” Seems Uh-bama’s had to do quite a few about-faces on matters of national security after (once again) reality slapped him up-side his skinny, big-eared, head.
Or better yet, pull a Hillary or Sandy Burglar and just play dumb (er, come to think of it, they didn’t even have to pretend) when your on the hot seat and all your cronies in the Senate will just give you a pass.
I’ll get rid of mine when you get rid of yours.

Poor baby. It must be rough being stranded in an ideological desert devoid of talent and originality.
It would deserve a fact check, and perhaps a laugh track. You’re really going to try and compare actual album sales with weekly ratings? Talk about satire.
Nice. Well l bet he’s better looking than you. Of course, we’ll never find that out with you being such a secretive, social media-shy coward.
