Why are people surprised Conservatives like to party and screw around?

I remember the 80s when the Republicans were the hip party that drank a lot and snorted coke off hooker's asses and were proud of it.

I remember wearing my ROTC uniform in high school listening to two Republicans discuss a party they had the night before.

They are just returning to their roots....

I have a hard time picturing you in an ROTC uniform.

I think the surprise is that the conservative platform has been so co-opted by the Christian power structure who are so vocal that people get sold on the image they want us to see. Unfortunately, they have feet of clay and it makes their failings all the better TV for having had to sit through their righteous ramblings for so many years.

There was probably a time you would have had a hard time picturing me saying that, huh?

There are liberals and conservatives that call themselves Christians.

I remember kids at Whitworth visiting AIDS patients, supporting gay rights, and feeding homeless people.

I'm pretty sure two of my roommates were gay.

Bush and his Republicans formed a base with Rev. Farwell and that's how a lot of things ran for a while.

And I rocked the ROTC uniform. Sports and activities for me really melts away the pounds. ;)
