Top Ten Reasons Your friends Voted for the Democrats...Pick One

When your friends can't explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick a reason.

10. 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.


9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.



8. I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.



7. 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.


6. 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 ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.



5. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.



4. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.



3. 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.


2. 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.


1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my a** it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

 

Just for the hell of it let me play devil's advocate here

10. 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.

Cos oil companies are model of corporate goodness. And how do you think the US is going to pay for the Coast Guard to clean up the current mess off Louisiana.

9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

Sadly this applies to all political parties



8. I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
Oh no - is Rush off the radio? is Glen gagged? and is Fox News no longer the fastest growing cable news channel.


7. 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.

Last year how many people used a legally-held weapon to fend off bad guys, now how many used it to kill themselves, their spouse or how may kids died because a loaded firearm was left lying about? Gun rights come with gun responsibilities.


6. 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 ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.


The TV weather girl got the job because she is somebody's girlfriend or daughter, dont confuse her with proper scientists. But yeah, I would n't be seen dead in a Prius, go V8 or go home.



5. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

Wasn't a lot of opposition to recent health care changes about freedom of choice, not letting the government dictate to the individual the nature of their health choices. As for the death row thing, if the States properly funded defence lawyers at the original trial then they would not have to spend millions of dollars in appeal courts bringing issues that should have been dealth with already. It might even lead to people on death row actually being executed.

4. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

Round em up and send em home, who needs gardeners, nannies, busboys, etc


3. 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.

Like all those Wall Street banks should be left alone because they are such responsible corporate citizens.

2. 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.

You mean those crazy lefties appopointed by the Bush boys and Ronnie Reagan who keep supporting gun rights.

That why you should watch Fox News, famous for challenging it viewers with a wide variety of political arguments.

Sad reality is that no matter who you vote for, you elect a politician. No one party had all the answers and most of them have none of the answers

 

Very nice Tex!
Lost....not so much.

 

Where is the Republican version of this?

 

As long as it stays in the stump it can actually be fun.

Sums up my opinion nicely, believe it or not I do envy you your politicians, bad as they are mine are worse .

 

Didnt see this one before but great one Tex ;-))
