Why I'm voting Democrat

[tsubaki]

I'm voting democrat because Barbara Walters is my idol and so is P.Diddy.
I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America.
I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $4 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America.
I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq, I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe people who can't tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years if I don't start riding a bicycle, build a windmill or inflate my tires to proper levels.
I'm voting Democrat because it's alright to kill millions of babies as long as we keep violent, convicted murderers on death row alive.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses in America should not be
allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe guns, and not the people misusing them, are the cause of crimes and killings.
I'm voting Democrat because when someone with a weapon threatens my family or me, I know the government can respond faster through a call to 911 than I can with a gun in my hand.
I'm voting Democrat because oil companies' 5% profit on a gallon of gas are obscene, but government taxes of 18% on the same gallon of gas are just fine.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four elitist liberals should rewrite the Constitution every few months to suit some fringe element that could never get their agenda past voters.
I'm voting Democrat because illegal aliens are not criminals, are not sucking up resources through government aid, hospital services, education, or social services, but are just people trying to make a better life by coming to America illegally. We can't blame them for that, can we?
I'm voting Democrat because the same teacher that didn't teach my child to read can reasonably educate them about sex.
I'm voting Democrat because my trial lawyer's crippling multi-million dollar lawsuits against doctors, hospitals, drug companies, and HMO's will make health insurance and medicine much more affordable.
I'm voting Democrat because Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and Jesse Jackson will end racism once and for all.
I'm voting Democrat because Christians in the Republican Party are intolerant, theocratic warmongers and atheists like William Ayers have never hurt anybody.
I'm voting Democrat so that no family member of mine will die in a hospital bed. They will still be waiting in line for Obama's socialized medicine, so they will never actually make it into a hospital bed.
I'm voting Democrat because I like eminent domain and big business and government kicking me out of my home and taking my land.
I'm voting Democrat because everyone knows that raising taxes at the top won't hurt people at the bottom.
I'm voting Democrat because skin color and good oratory skills are more important than judgment and experience.
I'm voting Democrat because protecting barren wasteland is more important than energy independence.
I'm voting Democrat because my college professor told me that America is evil and should give up its place in the world.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that Cuba, Russia, and China should be on the United Nations Human Rights Council.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that everyone is essentially good -- even people like Ahmadinejad who call for the destruction of Israel. He just needs a little understanding.
I'm voting Democrat because we should all be forced to drive ugly cars with the horsepower of a riding lawnmower.
I am voting Democrat because I believe in change; although I don't know WHAT the change will be, or HOW it will happen, AND I am pretty sure that I won't WANT to actually change anything I do, but still....I believe in change.
I'm voting Democrat because the government knows how to raise children better than parents do.
I'm voting Democrat because I want the rich to work harder, give me their money, and pay for my services so I don't have to.

I'm voting republican because...

.....I want to have thousands of troops stationed in every foreign country in the middle east for the next 2000 years or until WWIII, or until we lose more soldiers and kill more innocent civilians than we did in Vietnam, whichever comes first.

.....I love gasoline and the thought a motor that runs on anything else is nonsense and impossible!

.....I believe we can get the same job done a lot cheaper by sending them overseas.

.....Obama is a terrorist and likely the anti-Christ sent here by the devil to destroy the world.

.....George Bush is my hero and anybody who thinks like him deserves to be president.

.....I'm rich and those worthless middle class punks should be paying my share because I've worked my tail off to evade taxes all these years.

I'm voting republican because...

.....I want to have thousands of troops stationed in every foreign country in the middle east for the next 2000 years or until WWIII, or until we lose more soldiers and kill more innocent civilians than we did in Vietnam, whichever comes first.-So I suppose all of the democratic presidents before had nothing to do with any of our military being abroad?

.....I love gasoline and the thought a motor that runs on anything else is nonsense and impossible!-It is our BEST option right now, and is FAR superior to corn ethanol and hybrids we have today.

.....I believe we can get the same job done a lot cheaper by sending them overseas.-What do you think these big businesses will do when BHO's ludacrous taxes go into effect? Do you think they will pay it, or pass it on to us? And when we won't pay it they will go overseas even faster.

.....Obama is a terrorist and likely the anti-Christ sent here by the devil to destroy the world.-I'm sure in his mind he is doing what is right by him, but it sure aint what's right by me.

.....George Bush is my hero and anybody who thinks like him deserves to be president.-Then why was he re-elected in 04? Maybe he didn't do such a bad job afterall, it is just easier to blame him than congress.

.....I'm rich and those worthless middle class punks should be paying my share because I've worked my tail off to evade taxes all these years.-Who pays the majority of the taxes now? Those evil upper class people who don't pay enough as is right. Put a flat tax out there and have EVERYBODY pay the same percentage of what they make. I bet then the less than 1% extreme upper class won't be so set on paying there money to democratic lawyers to keep there money in there pockets.

In red.

good points tsub.

bullsh!t blue.

vote for osama and when he gets in you'll wish you had'nt.

[Blue_Runner]

CTT, I'm surprised a gay man like yourself isn't voting for Obama. :hi:

So I suppose all of the democratic presidents before had nothing to do with any of our military being abroad?

The difference here is WMD was a figment of GW's imagination. Why was he re-elected in '04? That is one HELL of a DAMMM good question. Let me know if you ever figure that one out.

I guess time will tell what is going to happen. I am willing to bet if McCain is president and the economy doesn't get better in 4 years ya'll will be blaming it on Bill Clinton :you:

Sorry but if you're the president for 4 or 8 years and at the end everybody is broker and worse off than when you started, you'd better bet your *** is going to get blamed.

[THEFERMANATOR]

The difference here is WMD was a figment of GW's imagination.


I'm sure all of these democrats BEFORE GW was even elected were drinking the GW kool-aide as well huh?

killing more innocent civilians

Wow

Hope no one here is a vet of one of these wars we fought.

And to any of you who are, God Bless you.

Please everyone, just think about what you do in a few days. We are all Americans and in our own ways want whats best for it. Think hard about what type of country you want in the future, what you want to leave your kids.

killing more innocent civilians

Wow

Have we or have we not killed innocent civilians by the thousands? I take it you don't think we have. :head:

I'm interested to hear your point of view Willy...

Wikepedia - Iraqi civilian casualties
full link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_conflict_in_Iraq_since_2003#Iraq i_civilian_casualties

Iraqi civilians have suffered the bulk of fatalities in this conflict. Estimates of Iraqi civilian casualties are highly disputed. It is difficult for most estimates of Iraqi casualties to separate civilian from combatant casualties. Various estimates are discussed below, and elsewhere in this article. See also the section on total Iraqi casualties.
For the major combat phase of the war from March***8211;April 2003, Abu Dhabi TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Dhabi_TV) reported on April 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_8), 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003) that Iraqi sources had claimed that 1,252 civilians had been killed and 5,103 had been wounded. The Iraq Body Count project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Body_Count_project), incorporating subsequent reports, has reported that by the end of the major combat phase up to April 30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_30), 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003), 7,299 civilians had been killed, primarily by US air and ground forces.

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vietnam_War_casualties&action=edit&section=1)] North Vietnam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Vietnam)

According to the Vietnamese government, 1,100,000 North Vietnamese Army (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Vietnamese_Army) and National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_for_the_Liberation_of_Vietnam) military personnel died in the conflict.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated2-0) (Technically, some of these dead were South Vietnamese members of the NLF, but it would be impossible to separate their constituency from the total.) Estimates of civilian deaths caused by American bombing in Operation Rolling Thunder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rolling_Thunder) range from 52,000[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated3-1) to 182,000.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-2) Complete statistics for the 1972 bombings are unavailable. Overall figures for North Vietnamese civilian dead range from 50,000[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated3-1) to "several million."[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-3)

[edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vietnam_War_casualties&action=edit&section=2)] South Vietnam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Vietnam)

The Army of the Republic of Vietnam ARVN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARVN) lost approximately 184,000 servicemen during the war,[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated3-1) with some estimates as high as a quarter of a million.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-4) Because it was the country most devastated by the war, South Vietnam suffered the bulk of the estimated 500,000[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated1-5) to 2,000,000[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated2-0) civilian deaths sustained by the entire Vietnamese population during the conflict; out of a possible median of 1,200,000 dead for the whole country,[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War_casualties#cite_note-autogenerated1-5) considering the above figures for North Vietnamese losses, in South Vietnam itself about one million civilians likely died.

If Obama wins and all goes in the tank, then can we blame "W"???

[Seacrets]

Blue, you might want to check what party was in office and got us involved in Viet Nam. Can you say Democrats (Kennedy and Johnson). 53,000 US servicemen dead. I think the congressional majority was Democratic. It's what happens when you let congress run the war and not the Generals.

[charlie_the_tuna]

Blue, what a piece of propaganda crap. By the way, there will never, and i mean never ever, be a cure for aids.
Anybody except blue and billy mac buy into that crap?

[Stinky_Hooker]

Im not getting into it heavy, but as far as corn being the answer...ITS NOT. It affects way too much...it may help on gas but you pay out the azz for lots of other stuff. Farmers are certainly feeling it....I payed out the azz for seeds and fetilizer this year to plant food plots for deer....roughly double compared to years past. Even liquor has gone up due to distillery costs for corn....God help me if I become a drunk.

[willy]

Any conflict is hell on the civilian populations, innocent victims, I would certainly not argue that Blue.
Saddam Hussein killed more people than that when he came to power, and over the many years he was in power many times that died.
They did not die in an effort to free a society, they died in a dictators power hungry lust for absolute power.
Vietnam is not our best work, the advancement of communism was the issue of the day and we did apparently what we thought we needed to do. I lost friends and spent my teen age years fearing what was going to happen to me as fellow students went off and died.
My point to you is this, when you say things in the way you did it implies that the US desires or the troops ignore the possibility that innocents will perish. In fact we are one of the few nations in the history of this planet to make the issue of civilian loss paramount in our operations, even to the point where our troops are in jeapordy.
You will never avoid the loss of civilian life, as a matter of fact if you go to that area of the world and all over Africa many times that number perish constantly in struggles in which brutal men are in charge. I bet if you asked them if they wanted us to help you would hear the pleading from here.
Sorry as it is the nature of man on this planet is often brutal, you will have conflicts, you need to be strong, you need a wise and tough leader who has been in those trenches and knows what it means when you send our troops into harms way.
NoBama has not the slightest clue, all he has is a egotistical elitetist agenda and you might want to step away from the fray and reconsider who and what you want to be aligned with, and why.

[reelapeelin]

Can't speak for BLUE, but I don't want to be aligned w/one who LIES to the population about the need to go to war...maybe BLUE'S point is, had we not bought the lie, those civilians wouldn't have died...or at least not by our hand...

...and while we're at it, I get tired of hearin' about tax and spend liberals...when W's tossin 10 Billion a month down the rat-hole we never shoulda been in...I think they call that "lie and spend"...

Reckon how much W's made thru Haliburton since this thing took off??...:bsflag:

[lumberslinger178]

Good thing there wasnt any innocent ppl in the wporld trade center, pentagon and swanksville plane crash.:fight:

[THEFERMANATOR]

Reckon how much W's made thru Haliburton since this thing took off??...:bsflag:

Don't forget AL GORE in that number either. He is also a major stock holder in HALIBURTON.

[willy]

Sorry, the point really is not how many perished in the elimination of what every single world power felt was an iminent threat, what every admisnistration since HW Bush including every single democrat candidate and the previous democratic embarassment, I mean president clinton stated verbatim "he is on a path to obtain if he has not already done so weapons of mass destruction and has designs on controlling the oil flow of the middle east" so your attempt to catagorize MCain as someone who is a war mongerer is as far off base as it gets.
The facts are pretty clear unless you have selective memory. Do I believe that the republican candidate is a perfect specimen, hell no. But putting a socialist in office in a free society is absolutey insane.
If you feel that what you want is a socialist state then NoBama is your man. If you feel that a man that lies thru his teeth every time he talks with you and when he does address people like us Ozzie he talks down to us is better than a John Mcain then so be it.
I dont want what I earn taken and the crumbs of what the government does not want given out to those that have not earned it.
You are starting a new company, you have a vision, your idea, and you are willing to risk your own money to make it happen. You are exactly the kind of man that NoBama wants to tax even heavier than they are now, my two nephews who work on Wall St are paying 44% of what they earn to the various governments now. That is Fu@&ing thievery. NoBama wants to take more of it.
Anyone in this country, and this is my opinion, that would vote for someone who tells you point blank he is going to tax you more than you are being ripped off for now, tells you he wants to expand EXPAND the federal government in any way needs his freaking head examined.
Anyone who has assosiated his entire adult life with the like of a murderer, bomber and extreme socialist like Ayers and his wife
Has assosiated with a mininister like Wright for twenty years, called him his mentor and close friend, one who teaches black theology version or rather perversion of the good book
Someone who has assosiated with a PLO leader back when they were a full blown terrorist organization
Had his Harvard Law school payed for by a man who also used his influence to get him in to the school, a Sheik and supporter of terrorism worldwide
These are only some of the assosiations which he has repeatedly lied about and every single news agency in this country knows about it and has not reported on it. Like Tony Rezko.
My sweet Lord, this is a walking piece of sh!t, how an American can even consider voting for him is beyond belief.
John Mccain is not perfect but he is an American first and foremost, he has fought for us, for our country and suffered horribly for it. He has always tried to do the right thing and has never taken pac money, never once forced earmarks into a bill, and will stand up for the constitution which Nobama says is a imperfect document that needs to be changed, and that the Warren Court did not come close to doing enough, they did not discuss the imperfection of redistribution of wealth for example.
God please help us thru this

Seacrets, I'm not saying the democrats weren't to blame...just saying that we should have learned something from the experience and try not to REPEAT for heavens sake.

[reelapeelin]

Seacrets, I'm not saying the democrats weren't to blame...just saying that we should have learned something from the experience and try not to REPEAT for heavens sake.

What ALL this boils down to is what I've been sayin' for ever...whether you choose to be a Dem or a Rep just depends on how you like to be SCREWED!!...as for Gore being a Haliburton shareholder...no it's not right any more than Lady-Bird Johnson owning huge shares of United Airlines who had contracts to fly US soldiers to their deaths in Viet Nam...I don't believe the ability to own stock in a war-based enterprise should exist...sitting politicians should not have the ability to own Haliburton stock...until such regulation becomes law, then there'll be a conflict in interests...BUT when it's all said and done, George Bush lied about WMDs (how many times?) and HE'S the one who ultimately gave the order to go to war, KNOWING the huge positive impact it would have on his bottom line...talk about redistribution of income...take it outta the taxpayers pockets and straight into his(and Cheney's, Rumsfeld's, Rice's and all the other other pigs who lined up at the trough)...and premeditating all of it from the time Cheney was inserted into Haliburtion during the Clinton years...the whole thing was PLANNED...911 was the spark...yes innocents died in the towers...but Iraq had nothing to do w/it...the guys that did are still runnin' around in the mountains between Afganistan and Pakistan snubbin' their noses at us...:fight:


...and I think Ike was still in office when the first advisors were sent to Viet Nam

We realy need to get control back...it won't happen over nite, but if we'll just forget about party affiliation for a while and vote OUT the incumbent, Dem or Rep, good or bad, it'll send the message we need to send...that we still have control and we're tired of bein' SKRUED from both sides of the aisle...instead of the divisivness of us vs them being Dems vs Reps, the us vs them needs to become us vs the lawyers who want to become career politicians and fill their bank accounts from our pockets...that's where the real redistribution of income is happening...:hi:
