Wanted: 'True" Republican

John McCain says he is and Mitt Romney is not. Odd that they both have [R] behind their names. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."

Sweet?

Well, not exactly sweet; I'd found few Republicans in my lifetime who I would label sweet. Stingy, yes. Self-centered, of course. Warmongers, quite a few. Righteous, all.

McCain's chide reminds me of those ugly grade school days and that irritating, sing-song teasing, "La dah dee dah dah..."

I know how to settle this argument [be right back]

Back.

Well, then, looks like old John may, in fact, be the REAL REPUBLICAN: militaristic, stingy, self-centered, warmonger. He doesn't care much for women, either.

If only he would work for the Ten Commandments in all schools and the imprisonment of gays and lesbians, he'd be ideal for the fundies.
