Default Izzy - please don't read this!

I voted Democrat because:

1. I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the Government’s taxing that same gallon of gas at 15% is OK.

2. I believe the Government does a far better job of spending the money I earn than I ever could.

3. I believe that Freedom of Speech is fine, so long as no one is offended by it.

4. I believe 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.

5. 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 10 years if I don’t start driving a Toyota Prius.

6. I'm not concerned about the millions of innocent unborn babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive (and healthy).

7. I believe illegal aliens have a right to stay here if they successfully sneak in, and to have US citizens pay for their free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

8. I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves or their rich shareholders. They need to break even and give away any profits to government for redistribution as the government sees fit.

9. I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to pacify a crop of current fringe kooks who would otherwise never get their agendas past the American voters.

10. I believe that it's better to pay billions of dollars for oil to the people who hate us, but not to drill for our own oil because it might upset some air-head environmentalist or upset the mating habits of some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.

11. I believe we live in the greatest, most wonderful country on earth, and I was promised, "HOPE AND CHANGE." (I never was sure what we were supposed to change this wonderful country INTO, but now I see.)

FINALLY:

12. I voted Democrat because I lack self-esteem, can’t think independently for myself and besides – if I’m outside and it begins to rain, I need someone to turn to in order to tell me what to do next.

SAY IT AIN'T SO!

Excellent! If you don't mind, I'd like to add:


13. I believe government employees are the only people who should be allowed to own firearms. There is no need for an individual to be able to defend themselves, that's what the government is for and criminals will happily wait while you call a gubmint worker in for assistance. Also, tactical shooting sports are not really sports .... because I say so.


Oopps! I see you already covered that in #4 above.... that'll teach me to speed read through a post

Meteorologists != Climate Scientists.

Or because irresponsible corporations might screw over the Gulf of Mexico, and the lives and businesses of thousands of people living over the coastlines of four states.

I don't claim a title in either party, but I'd say for these two in particular, I'd trust the scientific community over corporate interests any day.

I agree with a lot of this.....but I also agree with some stuff on the "other side." I'd say that I am about 50/50.....what does that make me?
