24 Reasons I Voted Democrat:
1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine so as long as nobody is offended by it.
4. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in fifty years if I don’t start driving a Prius.
6. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted while we keep all death row inmates alive.
7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, housing subsidies, and Social Security benefits.
8. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal Judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
10. I voted Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle.
11. I voted Democrat because I believe government and school districts know better what's best for our children than we do.
12. I voted Democrat because decades of liberal policies in many major cities, such as Detroit and Washington, D.C., have worked so well.
13. I voted Democrat because Islamic mosques should never be monitored by the Feds, knowing that Muslims don't commit terror in the name of their faith nearly as much as Christians do.
14. I voted Democrat because $3.6 Billion added to our debt every 24 hours won't ever hurt us.
15. I voted Democrat because even though 30% of Medicare expenses is wasted on fraud, that will be fixed once Obamacare takes over.
16. I voted Democrat because I support the Government having control of health care: (A) They will give it the same much-needed efficiency that we have with FEMA, Freddie and Fannie, the U.S. Post Office, the DMV, the IRS; and (B) my medical records shouldn't be private anyway.
17. I voted Democrat because union votes should never be private.
18. I voted Democrat because people with drug and/or gambling addictions still deserve taxpayer money, even if they spend it on their addiction(s).
19. I voted Democrat because while I support gay and women's rights -- and I claim to belong to the only Party that does so -- I also support Sharia Law's right to exist, even though under Sharia Law gays are executed and women are offered no rights.
20. I voted Democrat because I want Nazi sympathizer George Soros to have control of the major media.
21. I voted Democrat because I want a President who is personally connected to domestic terrorists, felons, and anti-white racists.
22. I voted Democrat because I believe our military personnel earn too much money, and funds would be better served helping out the 48% who don't pay taxes.
23. I voted Democrat because comedian Jon Stewart and talk show hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg clearly have a better understanding of geopolitics and finances than do Lou Dobbs, or Stuart Varney, or Charles Krauthammer, or Economist Thomas Sowell.
24. I voted Democrat because high taxes is how an economy gets out of a recession.
And now for the bonus round:
I voted Democrat because no matter what the CBO projects for our debt and deficit . . . no matter what are the rates of unemployment, under-employment, and those who have given up looking for work altogether . . . no matter what history has proven to us about gun control and subsequent increases in crime and flourishing of dictatorships . . . no matter how many times history has displayed the failures of Socialism, and no matter what is happening in real-time Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, and Greece . . . no matter how much temperature trends over the last decade dispute global warming . . . no matter how much Laffer’s Law proves that tax receipts collected by the Feds never increase with higher tax rates . . . no matter how disproportionately the wealthy pay egregiously more than their “fair share” . . . no matter how many times capitulation to radical Islam has never placated their insatiable ache for our blood to be spilled and Western culture destroyed . . . the first and foremost reason I voted Democrat is because facts, figures, data, statistics, and history mean absolutely nothing to me.
Cool slogans, wishful thinking, and a charismatic voice always trumps reality.
I need to write this down somewhere for my liberal cohorts.
