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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

Wikepedia - Iraqi civilian casualties
full link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualt...ian_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 reported on April 8, 2003 that Iraqi sources had claimed that 1,252 civilians had been killed and 5,103 had been wounded. The Iraq Body Count project, incorporating subsequent reports, has reported that by the end of the major combat phase up to April 30, 2003, 7,299 civilians had been killed, primarily by US air and ground forces.

[edit] North Vietnam

According to the Vietnamese government, 1,100,000 North Vietnamese Army and National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam military personnel died in the conflict.[1] (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 range from 52,000[2] to 182,000.[3] Complete statistics for the 1972 bombings are unavailable. Overall figures for North Vietnamese civilian dead range from 50,000[2] to "several million."[4]

[edit] South Vietnam

The Army of the Republic of Vietnam ARVN lost approximately 184,000 servicemen during the war,[2] with some estimates as high as a quarter of a million.[5] Because it was the country most devastated by the war, South Vietnam suffered the bulk of the estimated 500,000[6] to 2,000,000[1] 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] considering the above figures for North Vietnamese losses, in South Vietnam itself about one million civilians likely died.
