The Internet makes people smarter. Smarter people are more likely to drink alcohol. People who drink alcohol are happier. Happier people vote Republican. Therefore the Internet makes people vote Republican.

I know plenty of miserable republicans.

Nothing is better than sex.
And masturbation is better than nothing.
Therefore, masturbation is better than sex.

People who drink alcohol are only happier for a short period of time, after which they become bitter angry crusty drunks. This will have to be the November surprise.

Loneliness makes you cold. Coldness makes your nipples hard. Erect nipples attract company. Loneliness makes you the opposite of lonely. Loneliness and coldness also make you blue, but loneliness makes you the opposite of blue. Being blue makes you orange. Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

Great, thanks a lot. This last week, I really want to drink, but I'm afraid that if I do, I may end up voting for McCain.
Best anti-drinking campaign ever.

Jesus, I'm glad I found this post. I'm putting my winebox by the curb tonight. (God, that was close.) But I'm worried... does pot make people vote republican, too? (because I have a friend who). Also: what about adultery, financial corruption, and S&M? Please let me know

Funny - when I get drunk I'd much rather drive around the outback shooting wallabies & wombats than vote for my publican. What's he running for, anyway? Governor of the local rugby club? Head of the Woolloomooloo Volunteer Bushfire Brigade?

I think the internet just Republican the ability to spread lies more effeciently.
Did you know that Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist bent on destroying America's freedom? He also wants to make abortion mandatory, force all gun owners into concentration camps and make Christians worship Osama bin Laden?
He's also a negro. Or an arab. I'm not sure which, but both are bad, aren't they?

GOP: market works. Govt does not. or so we thought.
Democrats: everything else.
Conservatives: anger and rage
Liberals: guilt
GOP: the invisible hand of the market. Plus supports with taxpayers money.
The Democrats: you make war and we support them.
two-party system: the bailout: from those who pay taxes to those who gambled the money away.
two-party system: politicians come and go but lobby groups are forever.
How each party helps the other: Republicans fix voting machines so democrats can employ their many lawyers to sue.
Dentists for John McCain: drill, drill, drill.
