THIS MAKES ME WONDER!!! An Email I Received From My Sister In Texas! |
|
I NEVER reply to her emails of this sort, don't want to encourage her. I LOVE my sister, but we CAN NOT discuss politics! I'm a "junkies" she's a fundamentalist! My FOUR other sisters are Democrats, but this one is "Hooked On THE IDIOT!" This exactly the way THEY THINK!! It's just plain STUPID!! WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT
I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I'm voting 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.
I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
I'm voting 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 THEY see fit.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four pointy headed elitist liberals need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when the terrorists don't have to hide from us over there, when they come over here I don't want to have any guns in the house to fight them off with.
I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
I'm voting 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. Makes ya wonder why anyone would EVER vote Republican, now doesn't it?

16. Don't Apologize... I KNOW & Can't UNDERSTAND Myself!! |
|
Almost ALL of my family are Democrats, must be something in TEXAS. I lived there growing up and graduated from school there, but really "hate" going back for Class Reunions, but my husband I do.
We were Army brats... Ft. Hood, TX, city of Killeen and it has grown so much, but it's not a pretty city at all!!

11. Wow that's packe with so many lies and distortions it makes me dizzy. |
|
Especially the Oil company getting 4% on a gallon of gas.
The gas station that bought the gas from the oil company might make a 4% profit, after the 15% tax of course. But Exxon-Mobil, BP and so on are taking home the rest.
I feel for you my friend, she's one of the 30-percenters and there's no cure for that. I have two in my family. :(

14. Republicans are not for freedom of speech and would more at home in McCain's USSR |
|
because they love the one party system and want all dissenters to stfu and be sent to the gulag. As for global warming, do they just figure their kids and gfrandchildren will be living on mars so they won't suffer the effects here on earth?

Call it the preemptive death penalty.
That should make the pukes happy.

Dear Sister of Thunder Rising,
WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I believe the government will do a better job of spending money on the common infrastructure, military than the Republicans.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket to stop the wild "borrow and spend" of the Republicans that is strangling our economy and placing debt on my children.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket to protect my privacy.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because freedom of speech is a sacred right and is under attack by Republicans.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because when we pull out of Iraq we can focus on Bin Laden and the Al-Qaida that actually attacked us.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket 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. (I actually agree here. Like micro vs macro weather trends. )
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because for all the talk Republicans cannot find any oil.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I'm concerned about the slaughter of millions of women that die horribly when legal abortion services are unavailable and we should not have a death penalty anyway.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I believe that business must be allowed to make profits for themselves as long as they conduct themselves within the law and pay there share of public use.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I believe three or four pointy headed elitist Republicans keep subverting the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kook President who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I believe that the terrorists aren't hiding from us over there.
I'm voting a Democratic ticket because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse. (And we are happy for you. Sounds kinky but whatever turns you on.)
I'm voting a Democratic ticket 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. (Agreed)

21. Good Gawd. These people wanna party like it's 1984. |

These are the same GOP Memes that have been floating around since Reagan-Mondale.
Thing is, they've never run this tired old mule of a campaign against two wars and $4.00 gas before.

WHY I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT
"I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would."
Yet the two biggest deficits were created by Republicans Reagan and Bush.
"I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it."
And it's true that Democrats support freedom of speech and fought against Republican proposals to spy on Americans and restrict their freedom.
"I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people."
And it's true that when we pull out, the bad guys won't be able to kill more than the 4,000 troops who already died because we put them in harm's way.
"I'm voting 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."
And studies show that weather prediction is about 90% accurate.
"I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive."
And abortion declined dramatically under Bill Clinton.
"I'm voting 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 THEY see fit."
And under Democrats the stock market does better than under Republicans.
"I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four pointy headed elitist liberals need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters."
And it's true that the Democrats fight for equality for all people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, creed, and so on.
"I'm voting Democrat because I believe that when the terrorists don't have to hide from us over there, when they come over here I don't want to have any guns in the house to fight them off with."
And guns certainly did a great job helping the 4,000 troops who died in Iraq and the 3,000 civilians who died at the WTC.
"I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse."
It's true that a church can marry you to your horse, but the government does not allow such marriages.
"I'm voting 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."
And it's true that those gas taxes, not income taxes, are what pays for interstate highway repair and maintenance.
"Makes ya wonder why anyone would EVER vote Republican, now doesn't it?"
Certainly does.
