There are only three reasons to vote for a republican.
1. I am dumber than the GOP candidate.
2. I am crazier than the GOP candidate.
3. I am richer than God.

When your "friends" cannot explain why they voted for Republicans, give them this list. They can then pick their reasons
  • I voted Republican because I like pompous assholes telling me that if I'm not rich it's my own fault.
  • I voted Republican because it's pretty clever how they moved most of the wealth to the top 1% of the population but are against wealth redistribution.
  • I voted Republican because I don't need any dignity in my old age and I want my Social Security taken away.
  • I voted Republican because the country needs a kook like Sarah Palin one heartbeat away from the Presidency.
  • I voted Republican because I really think the country can get along without collecting any taxes.
  • I voted Republican because I'm morally bankrupt. Those too poor to afford health insurance should be left to die on the hospital steps.
  • I voted Republican because not enough Americans died in Viet Nam.
  • I voted Republican because Reagan had nice hair.

You boy in the WH has all but a mortal lock on "dumb". After all, Hawaii, which is one of his 57 states, is also now in Asia. So, by extension, just how bright are Dems who voted for this Affirmative Action poster boy?

Actor that's some great material there. You should do it justice by creating a Sunday morning humor thread based on that post.

I vote Democratic partly because I don't suffer from paranoia.

from the Free Dictionary website:

par·a·noi·a (pr-noi)
n.
2. Extreme, irrational distrust of others.

I voted Democratic because I'm not so gullible to think oil company profits are 4% on a gallon.
>

I voted Democratic because I believe we are responsible for more than just ourselves. It is immaterial whether the government can spend my money better than I can. There are things the government can do for society that I alone can not do.
>

I voted democratic because I don't feel it is necessary to offend people to make myself feel important.
>
> 4. I voted Democrat because I'm way

>FTFY. I have never owned a gun and I have never been murdered and never been robbed at gunpoint. Or any other point. Guns attract trouble like carrion attracts buzzards.

I voted Democratic because the polar ice caps are already melting. BTW weather forecasters are more accurate than you give them credit for.
>

> death row inmates alive.
I voted Democratic because you are an idiot and the statement above proves it.
>
> 7. I voted Democrat because I think
> illegal aliens have a right to free
> health care, education, and Social
> Security benefits.
I voted Democratic because I don't generalize things that are true in a few states and apply them where they are not.
>
> 8. I voted Democrat because I believe
> that business should not be allowed to

I voted Democratic because I appreciate the rights of business to turn a profit, but reject the idea that this right tramples the rights of workers to earn a decent wage. And I reject the redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich.
>

I voted Democratic because I watched John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Arthur Kennedy turn the Constitution on its ear to give corporations rights they were never intended to have. Incidentally they are all conservatives.

I voted Democratic because I understand it is not about one beetle or gopher, its the entire ecosystem. Ecosystem? That means where we live.
>

I voted Democratic because I'm not an arrogant asshole.
>

I voted Democratic because I know that it is the DEMOCRATIC party not the Democrat party, you numbskull. And I voted Democratic because I would never post someone else's thoughts without giving them credit-like you just did.

Clueless

Voting republican or democrat makes absolutely NO difference. There's only one agenda and the 99% ain't a part of it.

Affirmative action may no longer be necessary but at one time it was needed to right some wrongs.
As I have stated before, I got 100% on two civil service exams and was twice eliminated from contention just because I am a minority.
Without an affirmative action lawsuit, I would never have been hired.

Also in a new low for you, you have referred to President Obama as boy twice in one post.
I don't like President Obama. I didn't vote for him & I will not vote for him. But President Obama is the man in the White House, not the boy in the White House.
