1.

You must believe that being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime - unless you're a millionaire
right wing radio gasbag; then, it's an "illness" and requires prayer for "recovery".

way you raise money is okay, so long as you don't get caught.
4.

You must believe that folks who work for their money should be taxed at a high rate, but those who
get their money for nothing should be exempt from taxation.

You must believe that being "morally upright" means hating gays and liberals, and anyone else who
doesn't hate gays and liberals.
6.

7.

You must agree that racking up huge amounts of debt and handing it off to future generations is

doesn't believe the UN should exist.

engineer any behaviors deemed "unacceptable." That the government should stay out of our
checkbooks, but feel perfectly at home on our bedrooms and doctors offices.

into profits.
12.

You must support prayer in schools, as long as no one prays to Allah or Buddha.



13.

You must believe that nothing is more important than a fundraiser; not even black people drowning.
No, especially black people drowning.
15.

You must believe that no Republican is crooked, as long as he says the right thing and writes you a
big enough check.
16.

You must believe that "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs
to India, and encouraging corporations headquartered here to move their address offshore to avoid
taxes.
17.

You must believe that, while a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body, huge
multi-national corporations can be trusted to make decisions affecting all mankind with no regulation
whatsoever.

world at the same time we demand their cooperation and money.




24.

You must believe that single-payer health care, in which everyone pays for and receives health
insurance, would be a disaster compared to the current system, in which 40 million people are
forbidden from paying into the system, but still receive emergency health care. You must also believe
that insurance companies only care about giving you the best darn health care there is, damn the profit.
You must also believe that providing health care to Iraqis is good policy, while providing it to

than addressing how they got there in the first place.

school curricula.

You must believe that waging war with no security or exit strategy was good for Iraq.
28.

You must agree that Saddam Hussein was a good guy when Reagan was sending him arms, a bad

"investors."



29.

You must believe that the Bill of Rights is absolute in the case of the Second Amendment, but
negotiable with regard to the rest of the document.

impeachment, while those of Republicans are a private matter, and excusable because, well, "boys will
be boys" (or girls).

trust, while the fact that Dick Cheney is still being paid by Halliburton, which is now getting billions of
your tax dollars, is no big deal.

turn over their records or Tom DeLay wants to impose new districts because he doesn't like election
results.
35.

You must agree that the outcome of an election is always more important than making sure
everyone got to vote and that all votes were counted.
