  • Differences Between the RNC Platform and the Empire from Star Wars

    After watching the Republican festivities last week, it's only natural to wonder, "how does this platform differ from that of the Galactic Empire in Star Wars?" Well, here's how it breaks down:

    The Issue

    		 The RNC

    		 The Empire
    Immigration Wants to build fence Wants to build Death Star
    War Protestors Freezes out dissenters from town hall meetings Freezes dissenters in carbonite
    Global Warming Wants to pollute the planet Wants to destroy planets
    Torture For it For it
    Veterans' Benefits Cuts soldier benefits to give tax breaks to the rich Cuts off soldiers limbs so they can benefit from cybernetics
    Leadership Lets Karl Rove call the shots Passed on Rove for slightly less evil Emperor Palpatine
