Why I am a republican…

Because I hate poor people. I hate them, Donna. They’re all so…poor. And many of them talk funny, and don’t have proper table manners. My father slaved away at the Fortune 500 company he inherited so I could go to Choate, Brown, and Harvard, and see that this country isn’t overrun by poor people and lesbians. No, I-I’m a Republican because I believe in smaller government. This country was founded on the principle of freedom, and freedom stands opposed to constraints, and the bigger the government, the more the constraints.
