Does "Joe the republican" represent most of the republicans here on yahoo answers?
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

I never realized that everything good in the world came from Liberals. How could I have been so blind? Oh wait! I was just confused because I lost my job on Obama's watch. It was right after the bailouts and the stimulus bill debacle. But of course that couldn't have anything to do with the Liberals.

Wow, already snipped an error from the first three sentences. I'll give you an answer to
"The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. "
The EPA was established under the Republican President Nixon, which monitors tap quality standards. Recent condemnations of tap water quality have been used for political propaganda instead of improving water. One case involved a final hour executive order by Clinton to reduce arsenic levels in the water over years. There was no environmental reason for concern. It was done so that Bush entered office and overturned the orders soon after, liberals could accuse him of being wrong on the environment and uncaring of the people. Sure enough, the New York Times and other newspapers slammed Bush for so-called "poisoning the water," even though there were no reasons for concern nor differences in arsenic under the Clinton years.
Also note the $8 billion dollar scam industry known as bottled water, the liberal elites who tout it as an an alternative to tap. It might interest you to find that a study revealed that bottled water violated basic government standards and contained carcinogens, prescription drugs, and other contaminants. The EPA also found contaminants that were worse than tap water. http://www.ewg.org/reports/bottledwater
In short, bottled water is a liberal scam. And don't get me started with the lack of difference between organic food and regular produce, the presence of pesticides on both, and the inability of the planet to feed more than 5 billion people without the use of pesticides to minimize crop failures. If we all ate organic, 1 billion people would have to drop off the face of the earth.
I'm sorry, you've been used by environmentalists in the Democratic party.
I won't even get into the other sentences in your post because it would require a night of writing.
Oh, I'm too tempted. Just one more:
"The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air."
And if that environmentalist wacko had allowed for the United States to build more nuclear power plants, the air might have been more clean.

No. Joe lives in the country, and the water from wells isn't suitable for drinking - but not because of pollution. That is because water contains dangerous 'naturally-produced' bacteria. Fortunately, however, Joe has water purification technology due to some 'corrupt businessmen' who invented ultra-filtration devices. Such machinery is not available to all, however, due to the high costs of union workers in his plants, heavy taxation and regulatory impositions by the government, and so not everyone can afford them. If they had been more affordable his neighbors would all own them as well.
Yes, this could go on and on, but the time and effort isn't worth it.
Edit: And by the way, you should credit people for articles that they wrote. In this instance, John Gray. Peace.

This is the best example of a brain washed Liberal I have ever seen in my entire life. Sorry your deaf and blind. Have to say, this is also the best job of copy and paste from that far left liberal website that has been posted here in years.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Lol man are you brainwashed. For one, both republicans and democrats are responsible for much of what you wrote, but here is a little addition to your scenerio.
Joe is home with his family when two people break in. Joe wishes he still had his gun to potect himself, but he doesn't because the liberals thought he could not be trusted with it, nor could anyone else(except for them). Joes wife is raped repeatedly, and then him and his family are killed, and the robbers steal everything from him.
See it's easy to distort facts, but then thats what liberals and neo cons are good at.

Outstanding post! Unfortunately, most republicans can't be taught anything they don't want to believe. Most of them make less than six figures and at the same time they think they're in league with the multi-millionaires who directly bought and paid for their party. Bush ruined their retirement years and after 8 years they still blame Clinton, Congress, Whoever. Very sad in a way, what can you do?
Again excellent post!
