Why I'm Really a Republican

Today I'm stealing a blog entry from Mimi in NY. I'm not really a Republican, and neither is she, but I agree with her entry. We need to add our brains to their actions. Then we might actually win an election and not have it stolen from us.

Oh, I should probably tell you that Mimi is a British writer. Who just happens to be working as a stripper in NY. Some of her entries can be entertaining, to say the least. So there. You've been warned. Enjoy!

Here it is:

"I'm little Miss Left Wing in all things political. My poor parents tried hard to instill in me a hatred of asylum seekers, immigrants and Arabs, and my A-Level politics teacher likened my debating skills to Maggie Thatcher, but still I turned out to be a Liberal who adores tormenting Conservatives.

But when it comes down to it, I guess I'm really a Republican.

Liberals today faff around, argue, forget their point, get lost in philosophical debate, become too passionate and achieve - nothing. Republicans, lacking the brain cells for extended argument, hone straight for their goal, steaming through like a bulldozer to reach their ultimate aim, figuring out the negative repercussions only after the event. Two words to prove this. 'Iraq'.'Filibuster'.

I can't help thinking, if I was a real Liberal, I would have stayed in a country I hated doing a job I disliked and fucking around with all the red tape of immigration, so that by the time I ended up here, I would have had tits by my ankles and be permanently tripping off HRT, or worse, never made it at all.

Instead I tried the legal route, then tested the semi-legal options, and then went 'fuck it' and stormed right on in with the attack. Bush would have been proud.

Maybe more Liberals need to start acting like Republicans. After all, it worked for Clinton, and it's not doing old Tony any harm back in the UK."
