**In addition to this entry, I also altered my CSS file to give me a red, white, and blue site. I put a BlogsforBush button on and I had this image as my header. **
I know that this is hardly the day to announce it but…
I’m joining the GOP.
I have contacted my county registrar and asked for a new voter registration card. I will change my political affiliation to Republican and fight to bring Bush’s popularity up in this area, which is full of farmers whining about why they aren’t getting any of Bush’s tax cuts despite the fact that they grow most of his food.
Minnesota has a Republican governor who has done great things to try and bring civility to this state as Bush brought to the state of Texas. There is talk of instituting a death penalty, especially for people like the killer of Dru Sjodin and they are trying to get huge stadiums built for the Twins and the Vikings. There is also talk of an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage.
I am also just fed up of compromising my morals to fit in with the Democratic Party. I’m sick of having to be silent while people protest the gay marriage ban, being villified because I actually am sort of pro-life, and hearing that my party is Satan’s cubbyhole. Jesus seems to have chosen the Republicans, so I guess I should be going in that direction.
I am starting a committee with some of the people in my neighborhood to have a klub supper at the VFW to fundraise for the Bush-Cheney campaign. I’d do lutefisk but I don’t think most people are going to pay $100 for the privilege of eating “fish jello”. If you are interested in helping, email me.
Most of you have probably guessed it (because I can’t write anything without placing a barb against Bush) so…
APRIL FOOLS!
There is no way I would vote for Bush if you paid me and I fully believe that Governor Pawlenty is a schmuck. Most people are complaining that he wants to make Minnesota into the Texas of the North and it is doubtful that he will be re-elected because he has hurt the support institutions in the state so badly. (Minnesota functions as a Scandinavian country — they take care of their people.)
How I Did This
The Bush picture is by Jason Reed of Reuters. I got it off of the Yahoo! News website. The Blogs for Bush button is from their website.
I got all the Republican links from the GOP website and from Google. I was going to make them actually point to Democratic sites but didn’t think that would be authentic enough.
My thanks to MeanDean for his help in publicizing the prank, especially in coming up with ideas as to why I would jump over to the dark side. š
Jen – If it wasn’t April 1st. I would say that God has answered my prayers. But I can see the calendar, my only question is “was this your idea or did you steal it from Sean Hannity?” He did the same thing on his show today. People FREAKED out! Well I gotta go and pray for you some more that someday you will see the light. š
so sad that this is “funny” :).
My idea. Dean helped. š
For the record, I do occasionally vote Republican if the candidate is a better option than the Democrat.
*goes to look at the FoxNews website*
I was bored, OK?

Doh! I’ve heard it is so impossible to light the pilot light down there!
You big jerk. You had me going for about 1/10th of a second.
You say the sweetest things. š
har har. love the header image too š
Hey, I’d pay $100 for Republican lutefisk. Naa, I wouldn’t eat the stuff, but 100 bucks is cheap for a REPUBLICAN koffe klatch, even in gopher kountry, eh?
No joke. Kerry’s shindigs are about $100. Bush’s are $1000 minimum.
actually, in california Kerry’s were $1000 and at one of those expensive luncheons he spoke about how Bush doesn’t understand the common man!!! hello! the common man doesn’t spend $1000 for a meal!!
oh, and i’m reading this like five days later, but funny stuff!
I was being sarcastic. There have been much cheaper fundraisers for Kerry — there are a few happening in the Cities and in some of the smaller cities in Minnesota. Kerry does have expensive meals though.
