Regarding the "Mafia's Ten Comandments" - what would the GOP ten be?
1. Thou shall not feed the hungry.
2. Thou shall not house the homeless.
3. Thou shall not care for the needy.
4. Remember that the poor deserve their fate.
5. Kill thy neighbor.

1. Thou SHALL bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 09:50 PM by rocknation
Thou SHALL covet thy neighbor's oil and water.
Thou SHALL take Bill Clinton's name in vain.
Thou SHALL get plum jobs through thy father and mother.
Remember that the Grand Old Party is a paranoid political party, and we shall have no other god before us.

2. Thou shall not have opinions of thine own.
Taxes are for little people
Every sperm is sacred.

3. I Don't Know About Those...
The most successful Mafira families tend to ingratiate themselves within their ethnic communities precisely by providing patronage and handing out favors to those that need them.

4. Pretty much the same as the mid-Victorian version

Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861)
The Latest Decalogue

Thou shalt have one God only; who
Would tax himself to worship two?
God's image nowhere shalt thou see,
Save haply in the currency:
Swear not at all; since for thy curse
Thine enemy is not the worse:
At church on Sunday to attend
Will help to keep the world thy friend:
Honor thy parents; that is, all
From whom promotion may befall:
Thou shalt not kill; but needst not strive
Officiously to keep alive:
Adultery it is not fit
Or safe, for women, to commit:
Thou shalt not steal; an empty feat,
When 'tis so lucrative to cheat:
False witness not to bear be strict;
And cautious, ere you contradict.
Thou shalt not covet; but tradition
Sanctions the keenest competition.

6. Never criticize the party in public
Or anywhere.

7. Well, they'd have lots of room
Once they got rid of those "quaint" remonstrances against honoring your parents, worshipping false gods, killing, lying, stealing and coveting. Lots of room for improvements, Republican-style. Like how they improved the Constitution and those naggy little treaties with all their rules and stuff.
