I voted Democrat because
 
Oh how this rings true. I don't bother much lately for voting Republican either, but democrats are about 5 x worse and this sums it up pretty good:

-S




I voted Democrat because:
I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want.
I've decided to marry my horse.

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.

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

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

I voted Democrat because:
When we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what
they're doing because they now think we're good people.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Wow! I was a little suprised by this.

Good for you for voting Democrat, Subman!

I would have picked you for Republican for sure.
PS Enjoy your honeymoon at the stables.

I voted Republican Because:
I like to be lied to time and time again.

I voted Republican because:
They are the only ones with enough balls to Invade a soverghn nation under false pretenses and if that fail's we always have 9-11 story to fall back on! (Note:All the 9-11 hijackers and planners were Saudi Arabian but Bush could never invade his buddies)

I voted Republican because:
I love how they stand up for our Sovernty by leaving our border wide open and ignoring the 13+ Million illegals flooding in while pushing more NAFTA agenda.

I Voted Republican because:
The pompus windbag Rush said I should.


The Truth of the matter is that since Reagon (The last good Republican)Repubs are just as douchy as the Dems and the only differance between them is one screws you from the front while the other from the back.

The answer is Independant! Follow the lead of Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul and bail from this 2 party system (Since there practically in bed together anyways)

:up: Ron Paul for President before its too late!

I sense a strong debate emerging here :hmmm:

In the UK we have a slightly broader choice....including 'The Monster Raving Looney Party' :DL

I think the Democratic strategy of creating an 'assisted living' environment for working class and lower middle class Americans is very clever.

Once people get used to the idea that a small percentage of 'rich people' will effectively pay for them to have a higher standard of living due to various Government programs, it will be very difficult for the Republicans to ever win those people back.

We've entered an era of "Don't I get a stimulus check this year?" And if people are not smart enough to realize that the accumulation of personal wealth should be based on a combination of hard work and a decent intellect, instead of looking for others to pay their way, then Socialism is not far away.

The Obama philosophy: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.......Shame Karl Marx said it first. :)

SteamWake 05-20-09 08:04 AM

Wheres the

"I wont have to worry about paying my mortgage, I wont have to worry about putting gas in my car"

Thats and actual quote of an Obama voter during the campaign.

Very insightful! I have a sister-in-law waiting on a stimulus check that is not forthcoming. My retired parents got a check for $500.00 as a stimulus. However, like most, this will go for medication as medicare sucks. At any rate, my sister-in-law already has this non-existent check spent! Go figure, she is over year behind in her mortgage as well and is waiting on someone to pay for it....:shifty:

I voted democratic because I believe in punishing the acheiver and rewarding lazy bums who want a handout.

I voted democratic because I am unable to have a vision for my life and must have a government that will make all my choices for me.

I voted democratic because Gitmo is the best place on earth to house terrorist, I would rather have there here in America.

I voted democratic because as a student of history I have seen that every civilization that has willfully given up their rights has gone into slavery or communism and i want that.

I voted democratic because i find that politicians are better at fighting wars rather than the generals.

I voted democratic because I cannot wait for the hyper inflation that we had in the 70's.

I voted democratic because I hate national pride and our heritage and I think the Constitution is just a historical paper that needs to be recycled to save the planet

I voted democratic because fear is our number one motivator that moves the masses. Logic and reason need not apply. See Al Gore for further details.

I voted democratic because I hate religion because of its morality agenda and i want to have sex with anyone anything anytime with no responsibility infringed upon me for my actions.

I voted democratic because I am having a sex change that the government will pay for even though the family next door cannot afford to have cleft palate surgery for their kid, I laugh at them....

I voted democratic because I love open borders and think it is high time we give America back to the Mexicans. We have raped this land long enough.

CaptainHaplo 05-20-09 11:55 AM

I voted, because I give a damn.

I voted, because to fail to do so means I have no room to complain.

I voted, because its my duty.

I voted, because I educated myself about the candidates.

I voted, because I want to make things better.

I voted, because I see the direction we are heading.

Doesn't matter who I voted for - because both major parties are screwups that have left what the majority of American people feel is the right direction.

Its funny that instead of looking at issues, its more prevalent to make fun of the letter beside someone's name. Democrats are not evil - neither are Republicans. Unfortunately - POLITICIANS from both parties are more concerned with holding power at the expense of the other party, than they are about moving our country forward.

Neither the R's or D's have room to talk on things such as national security, the economy, immigration, etc. One or the other has been screwing those up one way or the other since the end of WW2 at least.

When everyone wants to grow up and realize its not about a letter beside the name - but about the issues that affect you, me and every other American citizen, then we may actually get somewhere. Until then, God help us all, because all your going to get is bickering back and forth as both sides try to convince you that they are on "your side".

Higher taxes and government in your wallet and live is what they want - scream the republicans, trying to capture your vote. Intolerant big business types who want to make you into slave labor - scream the democrats.

When your ready for more than just rhetoric back and forth, let me know, then maybe some real solutions that the people can back will arise.

I voted democrat, but when I read the fine print it said: " may include parts of communism, socialism, and other hardcore lefty by-products. Some patients have reported heavy bleeding from the wallet, loss of civil liberties, morning after nausea, and bloating of the government. Effects are not reversible."
