As freedom-loving Americans, we cannot support anyone who supports state or national Repugnant Party platforms. Repugnant candidate for the Louisiana House of Representatives Chris Tidmore is a good example. He has been endorsed by some who are opposed to the content of the Louisiana Repugnant Party platform due to his claimed issue positions. Unfortunately, the Louisiana Repugnant Party Platform states twice – once at the beginning and again at the end that, “Membership in the Repugnant Party of Louisiana is open to all citizens residing in our state who share the values and beliefs expressed in this document.”

It is irresponsible, naive, dangerous, and ignorant of Repugnant tactics to assume that a Repugnant who makes reasonable issue statements will implement those policies. Repugnants practice the big lie. They tell us what we want to hear and then implement their right wing agenda once elected. This is a technique used by Josef Goebbels in Nazi Germany, Ronald Reagan, and perfected by Karl Rove.

Unless Tidmore and other “reasonable sounding” Repugnant candidates and elected officials publicly and repeatedly denounce the national and state Repugnant Party platforms, we believe their propaganda at our own peril. Tidnore and his Repugnant Party ilk cannot and should not be believed when they pretend to be decent and reasonable people.

While not as hateful and anti-American as the Texas Repugnant Party Platform, the 2004 Louisiana Repugnant Party Platform is nevertheless a declaration of war on those that do not agree with the Repugnant Party lifestyle exhibited by Senator Larry Craig, Senator David “Diapers” Vitter, and Joey “Bathroom Sex” Di Fatta – who are poster boys for the big lie. Their platform claims the Repugnant Party is open to all — but only if one agrees with the Repugnant platform.

This platform is much more cleverly written than the Texas Repugnant Party Platform. For example, it opposes stem-cell research without mentioning the words “Stem-cell” and it opposes global warming as pseudo-science without actually mentioning global-warming. Additionally, cleverly supports religious freedoms that already exist and are opposed by none to create the false impression that these freedoms do not currently exist. They endorse taxpayer funding of private schools without directly saying so and they claim to support health care for all while opposing the reforms necessary to achieve it. Karl Rove would be proud.

House Republicans voted down the veto override of the S-CHIP (children’s health care) bill, once again proving they only care about themselves and their wealthy patrons and will do anything to decimate American families by destroying their children. No doubt these Republicans will be lauded as heros by the Republican voters throughout the United States.

When Republicans voted against children’s health care and George Bush vetoed the bill, they kicked our children to the curb. Today, House Republicans ran over our children with a bus by sustaining Bush’s veto of health care for children.

Let’s hope that the Democrats have the courage to bring up the S-CHIP bill again with NO modifications so we can see how many Republicans will now pour gasoline on the children – who had the temerity to survive being run over by a bus – and light them on fire. If that doesn’t work, look for Republicans to grab axes – paid for with our taxes – to hack our children to death, thereby delighting blood-thirsty Republican voters.

Here’s a list of House Republican heroes who voted against, or didn’t vote on, the override of Bush’s veto:

President Bush refuses to redeploy our troops and to bring them home. The House and Senate, believing they are over a barrell, plan to give Mr. Bush the $190,000,000,000 he has requested for Iraq.

I’ve said since Mr. Bush was a candidate for president that he is a third-grade schoolyard bully, in need of discipline to teach him responsibility. Unfortunately, George H. W. and Barbara Bush won’t take him to task. Sadly, they never have and never will. The task is left to us.

In the absence of George’s parents, I suggest that we invoke in loco parentis and provide that discpline ourselves. Parents ground reprobate childen and withold their allowance to discipline them. Congress must discipline the reprobate Mr. Bush.

How? Do what we would do with our own child when he won’t clean his room. Take away his allowance.

Give Mr. Bush $40,000,000,000, — approximately 3 months of his request. Then, tell Mr. Bush he won’t get anymore allowance until he provides a redeployment and exit plan for our troops. If it isn’t good enough, send him to his room to work on it.

When Mr. Bush behaves and cleans his room, he can have more of his allowance.
