Find any true / fair / accurate representations of Republicans in this video. I was unable to, maybe you'll have better luck.
It's yet another example of how the left is completely willing to lie as much as possible to win.

The far left liberals will get a laugh out of it, but who believes their votes can be changed anyway. The rest of the people will just shake their heads and think - "How Dumb!"
Posted by: km on June 11, 2008 09:50 AMThe only way this works as a satire of DEMOCRATS: showing how their view of Republicans is completely nonsensical. And as such, it is a mildly amusing, albeit unintentional, self-parody.
The whole thing was "synthetic".
Posted by: SouthernRoots on June 11, 2008 10:02 AMI am pretty certain that you're a liberal Democrat, hoping to get people to agree with you so you can point at Republican racism.
Does it frustrate you that you've never succeeded? And have you yet realized that just maybe this means that Republicans aren't racists, as you've suspected?
Whether you are serious or merely a troll, one thing is certain: we don't agree with you. We're not racists, and we reject racism, and we all believe you're a fool.
I think a more interesting question would be, "what percentage of voters out there do you think are stupid enough to accept all of these lies and distortions?" I think this is a fascinating question, because I also believe that in this perceived time of greater awareness and understanding, the American voter is actually getting dumber and more gullible every day; thanks to our failing liberal education system and the mainstream media.

Posted by: jimg on June 11, 2008 11:31 AMI find it hilarious that anyone would believe in putting a black to run this country.
Most negros have been spoonfed that they have to vote for obama. And they all follow inline like lambs to the slaughter. McCain needs to adress the problems that black people face... So many of them are drug addics, illetirate, un-employed and on welfare and robbing people and having too many babies.
I swear when people say MOST, they really mean "ALL". Stop being a pansy and speak the Truth in YOUR Words.
I think Rangar thinks as highly of black people as I do
NO Bros, NO Hoes in 08!
I found one truth...We need more blacks in Prison.
And then there's this, which makes me pretty sure you're a troll:
More people, on this site, should be honest in their opinions like you. I mean, if more blacks knew how people felt, I think they would just not talk to you.
Regardless, I don't care if you are a Republican or a Democratic troll. The true point is that it doesn't matter: we reject you and your racism (real or troll).
I will not be responding to you again. If you're a Republican, you're one I can do without.
(MSNBC is reporting that James Johnson has stepped down from the Barack Obama VP selection committee...)
Obama said this.
It's time to kick that fool. (Truth) He needs to find a racist site.
This isn't it!
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on June 11, 2008 11:41 AMSorry, saying "I found one truth...We need more blacks in Prison..." is racist. There is no other way to describe it. Saying a particular race needs to be thrown in prison, by virtue of the fact they are that race, is racist. If it was meant as a joke, it wasn't funny, and so poorly done that no reasonable person would see it as a joke.
As noted on this site and many others I read(Townhall, Fox News, Stormfront, Michale Medved etc).
The fact that you admit that you frequent a white supremacist site, and site it as a source for your facts, isn't helping your argument any.
Put down the weed, quite listening to the T-Man, and grow up.

- "my dream is to see freedom and the American way destoryed."
- "I want to murder babies, and free everyone from our jails, including serial killers."
- "because we should destroy the greatest healthcare industry in the world and replace it with a pathetic government monopoly so we can all die sooner and rid the planet of its human cancer."
- "I pretend to love the environment but support hairbrained schemes that actually do more damage to the environment."
- "we should bring back slavery!"
- "so we can take all the rich people, poor people, and heck, the middle class and put them in death camps."
- "my idea of peace is being a slave, or dead."

When is Obama going to step up and say I goofed. He never has for all of these picks.

I'm voting Democrat because I feel we should reward people for not working and not taking responsibility for their own health and prosperity.
I'm voting Democrat because I feel we should reward failure, not with tax breaks for lost investment risk, but with rebate checks that have no correlation to one's attempt to better their lot in life.
I'm voting Democrat because I feel environmental policy should be based solely on emotion and that hard science is really just a formality when you have really good rhetoric.
I'm voting Democrat because I feel our country has had it too good for too long and we need to slow our economy down so the world will be more equal.

Posted by: Larry on June 11, 2008 01:30 PMAnd there aren't fat people under socialism as the food shortages make sure no one gets dangerously obese. The great work camps also ensure a healthy individual who is worked daily to keep them fit as a fiddle. And under socialism there are no messy protest as any dissent is crushed by the secret police and their families disappear during the night.
The thought under Socialism is a provided by the government and there are no confusing competing news sources. This makes it simple enough for even the most uneducated proletariat to easily repeat the government slogans and thoughts.
And the medicine under socialism is given to all. The good thing about this is that the people can't just walk in and get high cost procedure unless the government deems them fit. And the government wisely makes them wait for months for life saving procedures so they will appreciate what they have been given.
Of course there is no gun violence under socialism because only the government has all the guns. Anyone else is a criminal and traitor to the motherland and deserves death!
These are why I vote Democrat.
Posted by: Komrad on June 11, 2008 02:00 PMI didn't find it funny because I *do* have a good sense of humor.
Contrast that video with my Christine, Christine, Christine song. Note how everything I say in there is based very heavily in truth, and it winds up being much funnier, and much more persuasive.
Posted by: pudge on June 11, 2008 02:14 PMI actually found it hilarious... but not for the reasons the makers of the video would want me to.
I found it hilarious because there are actually people who live in such an insular bubble, that they actually honestly believe Republicans are like that, and don't realize what idiotic, immature jackasses they are making themselves look like by putting forth this brainless drivel.
Posted by: Mike H on June 11, 2008 02:29 PMThat's why you can't argue with a liberal. How to you alter belief when the mind is closed to the truth?
"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Posted by: MJC on June 11, 2008 02:37 PMI'm voting Democrat because I don't believe anyone has a right to burn things on their property - unless it's an American flag.
I'm voting Democrat because I support the troops and want them to fail their mission in Iraq.
I'm voting Democrat because it's the party that equates success with unfair advantage.
I'm voting Democrat because they require the government to mandate equal results rather than equal opportunity.
I'm voting Democrat because English is hard.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe public parks and playgrounds are a good place for homeless drunks and young children to get to know each other.
And finally...
I'm voting Democrat because the Republicans only allow me to vote once!
Posted by: Smoley on June 11, 2008 02:49 PMYes, this makes my blood boil with the stupid simplified lies but that is how the left works (and when that fails, violence. But that is a different subject). Remember when voting for welfare reform would have had old ladies eating dog food? Or "we are all responsible for AIDS"? This stuff is laughable really.
The only people this kind of propaganda appeals to are those that already drink the Cool-Aid™. It makes them feel good. In fact, any seriously thinking person who knows the issues would see the bogusness (is that a word?) of it all.
What I would like to hear from is somebody who is voting Republican now or was considering voting R that changed their mind after viewing it. I'm thinking like . . . uh . . . zero. More the other way I'd think.
I am voting Democrat because I think that homelessness will be solved if we just build fancy drunk shelters and $250K pay toilets.
I am voting Democrat because I like the fact that Seattle is removing parking downtown. People shouldn't drive to the businesses located downtown.
I am voting Democrat, because I believe in light rail. All we need is a light rail train from Tacoma to the U, and all of the traffic problems in the Puget Sound will be solved.
I am voting Democrat because I want to replace a key transit corridor through downtown with a multi billion dollar tunnel. I don't mind paying higher taxes if I just get a nice park on top of the tunnel. And I don't mind the years of inconvenience of having only one North South route through downtown. People should not be driving cars anyway.
I am voting Democrat because even though there are only 20,000 or so cyclists, I believe that a major slice of transit money should be put towards improving bike lanes throughout the city. Because after all, bikes are more natural than cars.
I am voting Democrat because I like the fact that Union employees are forced to pay dues that go to Democrats. If we can just get a large enough Union base, then I won't have to bother with the inconvenience of voting Democrat.

Posted by: MJC on June 11, 2008 07:18 PMThere is a third choice. It doesn't seem to be popular anymore, but it's there.
C) Take the high road. Prove these retarded videos wrong with action and with principle. Live according to what it means to be a Republican. Don't make excuses for some rights lost because you don't care about them, instead care about ALL rights, as they all support each other. Err on the side of liberty, for that is what our enemies fear most. Push for limited government at a national level. Continue to push for less taxes, but condemn spending that isn't backed up by income. Realize that not everyone believes the same as you but that your best chance of converting them is to be a good example. If you're poor, show them that poor people do have a chance in this country without handouts, by not taking handouts and by becoming self made. If you're rich, show them that rich people bring prosperity to this country by creating jobs (and therefore enriching yourself further!) and wealth for people.
I choose that route instead. Who's with me?

You and the boys are fond of calling every one under the sun, liar.

I must admit that I am interested in the true identity of Truth. Not me, though. Have a great life, summer calls.
Ta Ta forever.
I'm voting Democrat....because even though I adhere to black liberation theology and a black values system, I believe we need to move beyond the issues of race in America and embrace a message of unity.
Posted by: Rick D. on June 11, 2008 09:42 PMSummer? Did you move out of state? =)
Posted by: Rick D. on June 11, 2008 09:48 PMWelcome back. It has been a long time. Last we met, I had some questions for you that you ran away from. Will you please answer them now/
Once again, here they are:
1) In 2001 the Nisqually quake damaged the Alaskan Way viaduct. We wer subsequently told that it was a matter of life and death to replace that structure and this argument was used to get our gas tax increased. Subsequently, the first project the DOT used that money for was a bike trail in Moses Lake.
Do you believe that the Alaskan Way Viaduct is a disaster waiting to happen, similar to the Cypress Viaduct in 1989?
2) Gregoire had four years to come up with a plan for the Viaduct replacement. That is in addition to the 3 years her predecessor (another Democrat) had. She has not done so. In fact when given the opportunity to show leadership, she instead put the issue to voters. Do you think that she has showed leadership on the viaduct issue by punting for over four years in addition to the three years of punting her Democrat predecessor did?
3) If you were raped, would you want the DOC releasing your rapist to live under a bridge five miles from where you live? Would you not care if they didn't notify you of this?
Would it make it any better for you, as a theoretical victim of rape, that the same thing occurred in Florida to rape victims there?
4) With our state running a $2.4 billion budget deficit, should we be spending money on pet massage, as the Gregoire budget currently has us doing?
5) With our state running a $2.4 billion budget deficit, should we be spending $1.5 million lighting the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in decorative holiday lighting, as the Gregoire budget currently has us doing?
6) With our state running a $2.4 billion budget deficit, shoulw we be using taxpayer monies to subsidize the Clearwater Casino, a the current Gregoire budget has us doing?
If you and Gregoire thinks those items above are more important that fixing viaduct, why should the people trust you and Gregoire to have any different priorities for the next four years?
7) How in good conscience, can you support a woman whom you know for a fact attended a racist sorority and even embraced it by becoming its president?
Posted by: pbj on June 11, 2008 09:59 PMBest Wishes. No I didn't move out of state. I simply responded to Rags' statement. Best Wishes to you both. This site is exactly the way you want it. For me, as I informed Eric, it is summer. Now, the record has been corrected. Coda.
Carry on without me. The hiatus is permanent. Ta Ta.
The "I'm Voting Republican" video is funny precisely because every statement is an exaggeration, but based on truth. Of course the statements are not literally true any more than the ones in your song about Governor Gregoire. The former video, however, has the added stylistic absurdity of featuring people professing to believe stupid things. You are welcome to say it's not funny. But criticizing it for not being factual shows that you have a major blind spot in your sense of humor and/or the video hits a major sensitive spot in you.
Anyway, I truly appreciate having discovered this video from you.
Posted by: Bruce on June 11, 2008 11:14 PMYou say it is based on truth. I say it is not. Which part is based on truth? I couldn't find ANY of it to be based on truth, at all. Perhaps you thought I meant that it had to be a perfect representation of Republicans. Not at all. Find for me even a BASIS in truth of ANY of it.
For example, the first thing they show, about Wal-Mart. On what truth is that based? I can't fathom it for the life of me.
Step up to the challenge. Daniel K wouldn't, will you? I'm waiting.
And no, many of my statements about Gregoire are literally true. That's the saddest part. The parts about only gambling where she chooses, and about being forced to give union dues to her, are absolutely true. The part about her spending more money on the people each year and not worrying about coming deficits is absolutely true. No exaggeration of any kind was made on those points.
A slight exaggeration was made on the New Math line, of course. As to the transportation issue, many of us firmly believe that is NOT an exaggeration, that she is, if not herself a believer in it, then she is someone who is led by the nose by people who very much want the roads to be clogged up so that we will be forced to use public transportation, people like the Sierra Club.
The rest is, I believe, a very accurate representation of what she wants and believes: that she has first dibs on our money, that she believes she can use it better than we can for the good of ourselves and everyone else, and that if we want to keep our own money, then we are greedy.
What part of the above do you disagree with?
As for your video... how do you know it's "absolutely true" that Gregoire was "not worrying about coming deficits"? Did you ask her what she was worrying about? Etc.
Lighten up and stop being so impressed with your sense of humor and your ideological infallibility. It's unbecoming.
Posted by: Bruce on June 12, 2008 12:03 AMIn the credits, there's a mention of an All Saints. I bet this is the church in Pasadena CA that's being investigated by the IRS for violations of its non profit status. Or at least they were at one point.

I want nothing further to do with this site. Everyone got that. -Posted by WVH at June 11, 2008 11:54 PM
Ok I got it now... FOREVER lasts 61 minutes and PERMANENT is a whopping 80 minutes.
Got it. Whew! Glad you cleared that up.
Oh! ps, PhD, you might want to check the definition of HIATUS. You should be embarassed to discover that, by definition, a HIATUS cannot be PERMANENT... which in your case lasts 80 whole minutes!
LMAO!
Sites like that are designed to take mush brained people and turn them into good lockstep, unthinking liberals who will go on to make future videos with the tag "Synthetic Humans". which by one of the definition of synthetic:
"not real or genuine; artificial; feigned", they do a pretty good living up to.
And we know she wasn't worrying about deficits because she knew EXACTLY what she was doing all four years. She even gave speeches about how we shouldn't drastically increase the budget, because it would lead to future deficits, but she did it anyway. And her plan for getting us out of deficit is simply to raise taxes.
1:15 (The apparent lesbians) - Republicans want to define marriage as between a man and a woman. Maybe you're ok with that, but that part is based in truth nonetheless.
2:14 (The officer) - He says he's voting Republican because the Constitution is sometimes just one big headache. Under a Republican federal government we have pissed all over the Constitution. Even the 2nd amendment wasn't free from danger during President Bush's term - he said he'd sign another assault weapons ban (cite). The Patriot Act contained potentially countless arguably unconstitutional rules (I can't think of a better word, sorry, it's early), but some examples include a ban on providing advice to terrorist organizations, searches without probable cause (4th amendment violation), national security letters, etc. Because I know the standard Republican response to these allegations is always some sort of rationalization that these violations of the Constitution are necessary to be free (what?) and safe (what?), I'm going to stop my citations there instead of wasting a bunch of my morning going through the rest.
So yes, pudge, I'm with you, I think that all the economic stuff is a bunch of malarkey created by people that don't understand that big business actually gives them jobs, but there IS truth in the parts about civil liberties.
I await someone's rationalization, whether it be safety and freedom, pointing out how Democrats are worse, or maybe some new reply that I haven't seen yet. :-)
Posted by: Andrew Brown on June 12, 2008 08:13 AMRe: the lesbians: that is a pretty weak justification for claiming that Republicans want to tell people who to love. Civil marriage has NOTHING to do with "love." So that is not based in fact at all. As to lifetime committments, that's marginally based on truth, but it's inane: they are not telling you how to best show a lifetime committment, they are telling you ONE way that you CAN'T. So I'll give a half-point for the second part, and zero for the first, for a total of a quarter-point.
Re: the officer: OK, I'll grant you that (though I disagree with some of your claims under that, but that's another discussion), but on the other hand, the Democrats ignore the Constitution (because it is a headache) MORE than the Republicans do, so it wouldn't be a reason to vote Republican (note, of course, that I am not using this to rationalize anything, just saying it doesn't fit the claim of "I'm voting Republican because ...").
I suppose maybe you could argue that because he is a cop, that the context implies CERTAIN PARTS of the Constitution, those that restrict law enforcement, but even then, the Democrats are far worse on the Second Amendment (which many police chiefs dislike) and create crimes the enforcement of which violate are Fifth Amendment right to due process (hate crimes). So I'll give a quarter-point for that, just because there's so many caveats: ON BALANCE, in the area of Constitutional rights specifically related to LAW ENFORCEMENT, you could argue the Republicans are SLIGHTLY worse.
So out of how many ever dozen points they made, they have half of a point.
Anyone else? :-)
No gold star sticker though :(
Posted by: Andrew Brown on June 12, 2008 09:10 AMAlso, as to guns, complete side note: this was the biggest reason why I was sad to Ashcroft go, and why, I think, he was attacked so much by the left: not so much over the Patriot Act, though that was the reason most often given, but over his support for the Second Amendment.
I have to confess that when I didn't give a crap about what the government did, I voted democrat (except I didn't even care enough to vote).
I started becoming conservative after I bought a house and had the government really start sticking it to me. Living in Thurston County and seeing the vile hate for our country on parade with socialism was also a good catalyst.
In my 20's a lot of the crap in that video might have rang true. For instance limiting abortion to a teen or 20 something male means increasing the consequences of chasing lots of skirt.
In my teens- I became aquainted with the GOP when going to listen to Ellen Craswell speak for an extra credit assignment. That didn't leave a very good taste in my mouth about the GOP.
On that same line- I mostly didn't vote in those days because I KNEW I KNEW NOTHING and since government didn't have their figurative finger up my butt all the time (college and soon after) I was content with the status quo.
I bought Clinton's drivel because I was on student loans, paying tuition, and didn't really care enough to dig in on how much he was lying.
I'll confess I voted for Roberts for Governor in Oregon back in 90 because I didn't know squat and thought it would be cool for a woman to break the glass ceiling. Seriously- I didn't know a thing about either candidate.
All was not hopeless because I voted for cutting property taxes in that same election because I knew I would own land one day. Not bad for a clueless liberal.
I haven't read Medved's "Right Turns" but I heard him talking about it at length. It totally applies.
The end story is- Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Gary Locke, and Christine Gregoire have created more conservatives by sticking it to us than anything we as conservatives could ever do.
I swear if Big Oil would start running commercials asking "will you let us drill now?" people would go nuts.
Posted by: Andy on June 12, 2008 09:51 AMUse that text over video of pristine areas along the alaska pipeline and say "you really want to pay this much more money for your commute in order to prevent this atrocity.... oh, wait, not really an atrocity, is it now?"
Posted by: Andrew Brown on June 12, 2008 10:20 AMI know I'd like that alot more than all of those warm and fuzzy BP commercials where they talk about all the great things they're doing besides oil exploration.
Posted by: Palouse on June 12, 2008 10:49 AMI'm voting Democrat because my neighbor has a higher income that I and it's not fair that he isn't giving me any of his money.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm too lazy to get a job and it's the responsibility of the government to give me food, housing, and transportation.
I'm voting Democrat because I spent all my money on a vacation and large screen TV and now my kids need new clothes.
I'm voting Democrat because I take drugs, drink, dropped out of school, and it's not my fault.
I'm voting Democrat because illegal immigrants should have the right to vote.
