Ten Reasons why I voted Democrat

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Ever wonder why people vote Democrat? I mean, for reasons other than the fact that they have their head so firmly planted up their ass it's unlikely that their totally incapable of ever having a rational thought or point of view? Well, wonder no more.

Gagdad Bob has named ten humorous reasons over at American Digest:

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 ass it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

Humorous, yes. But sadly, for the most part relatively true. Meaning no personal disrespect to our friends who voted Democrat, however, it's as though for one to vote Democrat these days, he or she has to be living in a cloud of unknowing bliss, have a deep psychological need to be free from individual responsibility, an ignorance of the Constitution, and a lack of common sense.
