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)

Ron Paul for President before its too late!

I sense a strong debate emerging here

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

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.

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....

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.

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."

I am fortunate enough to be able to claim that I live in the Vancouver area of Canada, and Sand Diego CA. IMO the two nicest cities in two of the best countries to live in. Due to this I cross the border often. Several times a year. I have to ask myself if you do often, or at all, if you claim it is wide open.... I assure you it isn't.

You are probably one of those people who says Canada let the terrorists in... funny part in that is.. Canada Customs does not screen the people entering the US... US Customs agencies do... how did Canada let them in??

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. It is estimated that over 1/3 of the hispanic population is here illegally. They cross our borders by the thousands daily and if they are caught they get deported only to turn around and come right back its that easy! Just about everything is written in Spanish and English now despite the voters voting English only many times. The buisnesses and government ignore it. You hear as much Spanish as English in the grocery and a great majority of them do not speak a lick of English.

Its no longer assimilation. Our Schools teach in Spanish so we dont inconveniance them into learning English.

The U.S. calls it immigration, Any other sane nation would call it Invasion!

I think he is refering to illegals from Mexico...not terrorist that might or might not have filtered into the US via Canada
