Why you should vote democrat.
This is not original to me, but was mailed to me. I like it though and wanted to share.
******************************************************************************
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 backend that it is unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.
I’ll keep my Freedom, my God and my Guns… YOU keep the Change…!!!
No matter who you decide to vote for, just make sure you vote …..

Why Sad Sam voted Democratic:
Because:
10)The only President in my lifetime to balance the budget was a Democrat.
9) The GOP doubled the national debt from $5t to $11t when they started with a surplus in 2000. Medicare Rx, unfunded tax cuts, increased farm subsidies, unpaid for war, etc.
8) Iraq war which had nothing to do with 9-11.
7) Right wing religous nuts who want to tell me what I can and can’t do in my bedroom or on my kitchen table as the mood strikes me.
6) Because the gun issue is a bull-shit-NRA-keep-the-money-flowing-in-scare-tactic. Plenty of dems like me have guns and aren’t afraid they are going to get taken away. Now that the 2nd Amendment has been said to apply to personal ownership the NRA needs to keep the scare going to keep the money rolling in. Dead issue, move on.
5) @#%&%$$ Bush bailed out Wallstreet.
4) Tax breaks for companies that ship jobs oversees.
3) GOP sex scandals invevitably involve anti-gay guys getting blown in men’s rooms by other guys while Dem sex scandals at least have high end hookers or slutty 23 year olds.
2) I can live with (#)*&($ health insurance companies not being able to exclude people with pre-existing conditions: I went to 12 years of Catholic school and there was something about “what you do unto the least of my brothers, so you do unto me.”
and the top reason?
1) I wish I had an alternative like a viable third party, but I don’t, so I’m forced to hold my nose and choose the better of two f’d-up options…..
1Screw the Democrats and Obama….look at this map

2TM:
My 15 year old daughter had the best reason of all. She told me she decided she was a Democrat because why should she be a Republican, work hard and pay the government, when she could be a Democrat, sit back, and get it for free.
P.S. I wish Sam would realize that Clinton’s last budget showed a surplus. His last actual results, based on his budget, was a deficit. I really thought a finance guy like Sam would focus on actuals, not budgets, but maybe not.
3Maybe it was the same convulted logic asl Olbermann and Maddow were using last night saying the Republicans didnt do as good as they should, based on the lousy conditions in the country. It was like, you guys arent that good, you only beat us 55 to nothing when you should have beat us 65-0!
4TM…I think the final score will be around 60 to 0…Barack Obama’s enemies have spoken, loudly…as his mentor Rev Wright said …” Your chickens are coming home to roost”, well Mr. Obama, they certainly did….you can only keep us proud Americans down for only so long….Goodbye to the puta Nancy Pelosi
5Not to mention they lost the governorships in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a very winnable gubernatorial gain went down the tubes in Florida. I think those might be important in a couple of years. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid years can only be called the Audacity of Dopes.
6Jeff….Good One !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….The Demogods had Florida in the bag…but the vote was split…damn shame
..This Rubio is an up and comer, as is Jim DeMint from SC
7Any objective analysis of these results clearly shows that it was a lessor of two evils vote. Congrats guys you are the current “lessor of two evils.” As the Dems were the last time.
Re Clinton Budget: Jeff, Jeff, Jeff: see link. And since Bush, counting Social Security receipts ran the debt from $5t to $11t, I’ll count them.
http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/during_the_clinton_administration_was_the_federal.html
As soon as I get the transcript from this Tea Party gal, I’ll post it. Basically it was “eliminate Medicare for everyone younger than me (68 yrs old).” Classic.
I can’t wait to see how the GOP proposes to reduce spending since we can’t touch interest, nobody wants to cut defense, and medicare and social security are off the table politically.
8That link from above is great. It has a link in it for historical revenue, spending, deficits, debt, etc.
Non-defense descretionary spending is approx $580B and the deficit is $1,400B.
So, my Tea-Party-inspired plan is to cut Medicare and Social Security for everyone but members of my family.
9Sam, I am putting this to rest once an for all. I have no idea who is behind fact check. I have a right wing website I refer to. You might of heard of it. It’s called the US Treasury. Here is the link.
http://www.fms.treas.gov/mts/index.html
If you go there, you will find the actual receipts and outlays of the federal government from 1980 forward. Since Clinton didn’t create a budget until October 1993, the annual fall of 1993 was on Bush I. The government ran $255B positive during that period. Similarly, Bush II did not create a budget until the fall of 2001. Thusly the annual performance through that time was what he inherited from Clinton. The finances were $127B negative. Those are the governments numbers. Case closed.
10Bam!
11the link that they have on their site is data from the Congressional Budget Office. Bada Bam.
Whatever, let’s agree that your numbers are right and Clinton didn’t balance the budget. It was 10 years ago. You win.
Now, I just saw three more GOP congress/senators tonight duck the same question:
Non-defense descretionary spending = less than 1/2 the deficit, where you gonna cut?
12come on sam there is plenty of fat on both sides of that equation and you know it. I dont care if we only knock it down 5 percent its, better than continuing up! lets get rid of earmarks, which are always for useless crap. lets get rid of unneeded departments in their entirety (does anyone really know why we need the department of agriculture and education?) the problem is republicans and democrats alike ( you heard me I am including them both) think earmarks and pork is unneccesary…well except whats going to their state!!
13Sam:
I didn’t say Clinton didn’t balance the budget, and I didn’t say Bush was a fiscal conservative. I am tired of this point that Bush walked into a surplus. He did not. Clinton walked into better economic conditions than Bush. The numbers don’t lie. They are not my numbers. They are the U.S. Treasury’s numbers. I pay little attention to budget numbers. I can balance the budget tomorrow. I can just project revenues to be $3.5 trillion. Bottom line. Cut SS, cut defense, cut all entitlements, cut discretionary spending. Get the government back to what it was intended to do. Create liberty. Let people take care of themselves and their fellow human beings.
14Jeff: that is why we are friends, we always wind up agreeing in the end.
I completely agree with you, but neither party has the guts or honesty to run on that platform and/or do it.
I think Obama or Boehner should say, “You want a balanced budget and no tax increase? Ok, here it is.” And let the “something for nothing” American public howl like crazy……
15Sam, that is exactly what they should do! Will they howl? Yes, just like your 12 year old son when he ask’s for the latest Xbox game. You tell him no enough times, he goes and plays an old game or goes outside.
16I can’t believe that Sad Sam is stupid enough to believe that Clinton balanced the budget. Congress controls the budget. It originates in the House, the Ways and Means Committee. Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate when it was balanced. Stop reading the press and do some real research Sam.
