I've decided to quit the Democratic Party and become a Republican
Given the disastrous state of their Party leadership, I figure I have an outside chance at becoming their nominee for President in 2012

Just say "Jesus, God, America" several times, oh and..."9/11, Islamo-fascism, birth certificate, Kenya and deregulation" enough and I could be their standard bearer
And I'd have to remember to keep my sentences to 6 words or less
And speak in mostly mono-syllabic words

1. It will help if those 6 word sentences were less....connected. I actually understand
Edited on Wed Jul-14-10 05:02 AM by old mark
what you want to say...that is a liability (sorry...it means that is a "bad thing").

Good luck - you may have a shot!

Oh, and always wear a gun...
mark

ADDED: I just heard a Pat Toomey ad...you may want to steal his closing line,"More jobs, less government." A winner with the simplistic crowd (sorry again....that means "dumbass.")

11. When answering any question about the lack of basic needs, jobs, health care, education, etc,
'God has a plan' is very handy. You can hide behind Jesus and pass the buck at the same time.

Ta-Taaaah.

21. I can also blame those Islamo-fascists that are trying to harm America
Nothing deflects a legitimate question better than fear

Question: Your proposals seem to be very reminiscent of the policies that got us into trouble in the first place.

Me: I think the real question is, "What are we going to do about the terrorists that are working hard to harm America everyday?"

Thurston Howell III that can say it with panache. You need to through in a few lines on "Class Warfare" and "Welfare Queens".

8. And write your policy positions on your hand ("old school teleprompter")
If I were you, I'd write small... :)

9. It would probably be a way to make a fast buck since anyone
with power in the GOP seems to get their mitts in the party till.

Very simple.

13. You also have to say that Pailn is smart.
I know that would be hard to do with a straight face but it's necessary.

24. I hope you are pasty faced white or know how to
become a nice shade of orange. They know when it's phony orange and are comfortable that you are white underneath. :-)
