If I Switch Parties, Can I Get Away With Repeated Felonies Too?
I have never been presented a good reason to switch parties. But, I have to say that being able to break laws with absolutely no "accountability" for my actions would be pretty freaking sweet! It seems to work for many wingers. Those that are investigated get off and far more are never investigated at all. Even when busted red freaking handed doctor shopping they get to walk.

Is there some unwritten rule that I have no heard of on this? The "Wingers Walk" provision?

I'm pretty sure that if any Dem did some of the shit they get away with, they would be in jail.

So, in exchange for Republican immunity, I'll be willing to switch parties. But, I want it in writing first!

Got that Karl? I'll stop kicking your boy in the nuts for full immunity. Anything less and I do not let up on you fucking criminals!

1. It's even better than that.
Not only do you get away with felonies, the party apparatchik does you the favor of smearing your accusers too!

3. You have to pass a litmus test
You must commit felonys. To not be held accountable is patriotic.

But, and this is a big but, if you ever served honorably in the military you can not switch to the republican party. Serving honorably in the military is not patriotic.

5. No Problem There.
I did not go into the military. Of course I would never have the nerver to misuse and exploit them after not doing so. Maybe tht disqualifies me.

8. You'll get used to it
Come on, give it a try. Call me a coward. If you are going to be a republican you have to throw good sense, decency and ethics out the window. Don't be getting all weak kneed and moral on me.

6. There's The Real Sticking Point. Do They Take IOU's?
I could get the cash with the immunity in place. That's how they do it. Do I really have to start with the cash to get the immunity? Seems a bit unfair.

I should have been born rich! Dammit!

11. See, if you start with the immunity, then everyone could become a
rich, influential Republican. But you can't have everyone become a rich, influential Republican because then the pyramid scheme of the ownership society will no longer work. Sorry, you are SOL.

10. Only if you are rich and hold important office
But then, such people have always gotten a free pass regardless of political affiliation.
