Distortions to believe

Just some of the distortions you would have to believe in order to still be a Republican today:

1. George W. Bush won the elections.

2. Dick Cheney is not connected to oil.

3. It is unpatriotic to question a Republican President on public issues, but all right to question a Democratic President on personal issues.

4. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

5. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

6. Nuclear radiation, chemical pesticides, and tobacco’s links to cancer are just junk science. But, creationism should be taught in schools.

7. The U.S. should drill as much oil as possible. We won’t destroy delicate ecosystems and endanger all forms of life.

8. Global Warming is not true. The hottest years ever recorded in history, forest fires in Alaska during the winter, and melting glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland are just coincidental.

9. Everything you see and hear on FOX News is true.

10. The world is flat.
