Party beliefs and history
Fascist Ass Party beliefs and history

YOU MIGHT BE A DEMOCRAT IF…
you believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese & North Korean communists.

YOU MIGHT BE A REPUBLICAN IF…
you believe that everyone should support the troops - except when it comes to pay or benefits.

you believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

you believe that hunting requires an automatic rifle.

you believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.

you are against abortion but support capital punishment.

Hi, I’m a PC. I’m slow and outdated. I have all the right tools. But they don’t work how they should. I might freeze up and get slower by the day. But, you’re stuck with me and used to my ways. Vote PC. And I’m a Mac. I may cost you a lot money. But it might be worth it. All your college friends like me and use me. Everything costs more with me. But you’re okay with it. You think it’s new and “in.” You probably have an iPod. So vote Mac.
