By E Pluribus Unum Posted in Democrats — Comments (80) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
h/t to aceintx, Shaggy Dog, Robert L Mayo, and jdub over in aceintx's diary. Looks like we got a downthread game going on, I just wanted to put it out here for the rest of us to play. First, watch the video on that diary (If you can stand it), then observe the kickoff entries...
Complete the sentence:
I'm voting Democrat because...
Says Shaggy Dog:
I hate the idea that someone can make more money than me because they're smarter than I am and work harder.I like blaming other people for my problems.
I hate organized religion.
I value an artic wasteland I will never see more than the economy that feeds, clothes and shelters me.
I think the government is so efficient and competent that I want them to control even more parts of my life.
adds Robert L Mayo :
America is a mean country that I've never been proud of in my adult life
and jdub19:
I don't think people should be burdened by having to pay back college loans....Mean Amerika!
I add a couple of my own:
I want to depend on foreign countries for energy the rest of my life.
I want unelected judges to strike every semblance of Christianity from public view.
I want government entitlements to bankrupt the country before I reach 50.
I want the government to tell me whether I can allow smoking at the restaurant that I saved money for my whole life to open.
I want working, successful Americans to pay higher taxes so the freeloaders don't have to.
So now your turn. Multiple entries are welcome!
I have proof that President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove used Rove's time machine to go back and kill all the dinosaurs and caused the Ice Age through man-made gloal climate change.
I keep the evidence in my mother's basement, next to my bed.
will you be my friend? I have a cool D&D style tabletop game we can play based on getting the world to buy carbon credits and ward off the evil Republicans (for which I use Orcs from Warhammer)

I buy Harry Turtledove in hardcover, sight unseen. And I have a strict luxury budget of $20/week.
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!
Have you read Newt Gingrich's alt. WW2 books? they were amusing.
Did you know that Turtledove also wrote some novels about ancient Greek sailors under the pseudonym H N Turtletaub?
I really liked them for their historic detail.
Of course I am an ancient History nerd.

he tricked the Dinosaurs into buying SUV's so he could destroy the environment and make more money for his oil cronies, so they would all die and become oil, so he could make even more obscene profits.

I was there too.
We debated not letting Cheney come with us.
We had shotguns and... well... there were no hospitals around... just in case.

Heh. Moral of the story:
Don't sneak up on a hunter while they're hunting.
The other moral of the story:
Ted Kennedy's Driving: 1
Dick Cheney's Shooting: 0

a) I'm from Chicago
B) Democrats want ALL of you to help me pay off my mortgage, which I never should have taken in the first place.
Thanks neighbor!

The question, as you're from chicago, is not if you're going to vote Democrat, but how many times are you going to vote as a Zombie as well?
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
Good.
The real danger would be if the Republicans stole elections.....
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
Ah Yes, the Hanging Chad.
One of a plethora of sucessfull Rovian Plots.
The hard part was not coming up with the idea of having hanging chads, but was training the mice to chew out the 'correct' hole and glue a chad in place.
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
...I am personally appalled when BooBooKitty says "I live within my means, pay your own mortgage." Man, those Republicans are jerks...
Support libertarian Republicans here and here.

...I don't have guns, don't like guns, am scared of guns and live in perpetual fear of a pack of ravenous gun eating my soul
...I'm perfectly willing to allow illegal immigrants to steal Social Security numbers, invade sanctuary cities and place an undue burden on an overextended social benefits system
...Markos Moulitsas speaks for me
...Socialized healthcare is an egalitarian, elegant response to lift up the poor and sick, rather than a boondoggle
...Michael Moore is a visionary to be lauded and celebrated
...Every god is cool with me, except, y'know...God
...Public schools are underfunded and teaching too conservative of a curriculum

...Responsibility and integrity are antiquated notions foisted upon me by a bitter, repressive patriarchal hegemony
...I'm voting against the failed policies of Chimpy McBushitler, even though he's not running for office ever again

Republicans are a bunch of RACISTS, and those poor minority people just can't get ahead without our help.

I am too lazy to look beyond KnownFacts™
"Land of the Free and Home of da Whopper" Peter Griffin...Family Guy
conform and celebrate diversity....or else!!!
KnownFacts, of course, are like ForgedButAccurate Facts a la CBS and Dan Rather.
Speaking of, I caught my father watching CBS News recently.
I did good. I successfully resisted the urge to take off my steel toed boot and throw it at him.

He's also referred to wanting to become a vegan, for 'health reasons'
Especially funny given the current tomato scare.
I've straight up told him, "Dad, you do know that you're becomming a hippie, right?"
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
He needs to do something manly....STAT!!!

Take him deer hunting....nothing like burying your arms up to the elbows in a bloody gut pile to take the liberalism out of a man...LOL

I am going hunting for the first time this year.
Hunting wild hog.
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
If you can't convert him with a gut pile you can always shoot him an leave him there...LOL
Oops...is that politically correct to say?
"A political party cannot be all things to all men."--Ronald Wilson Reagan
Oops...is that politically correct to say?
Given that we're talking about my father . .. probably not. heh.
My mother thinks she's conservative, but is starting to understand that she's liberal in policy but conservative in morals.
she hates hunting because it is, somehow, more holy to eat meat that's been bludgeoned to death. She's certain that, now that I carry a gun, that something bad will happen to me that otherwise wouldn't (as though carrying a gun is going to make me LESS safe than being wholly unarmed)
----------------------
Dependence is Slavery.
besides your dad I mean...LOL
As for what can happen to you carrying a gun...you can get run over and killed with a car...but you're allowed to drive...right???
LOL
"A political party cannot be all things to all men."--Ronald Wilson Reagan
I've told her, many times, that if someone pulls a gun on me and I'm undarmed, my chances of survival are 0.
If something happens and I am armed, my chances are much higher than 0.
But... she's a mother.

LOL...Hey...Coffee from bat dung is a delicacy in some countries...Vegan Dung makes a great facial as well I'm told...LOL

Or is Vegan Dung a contradiction of terms?

The tomato "scare" is going to be shown to be an act of deliberate sabotage of our food supply. Leftists.
Defend Liberty -- Join the NRA | Live in Massachusetts? Join GOAL.
People are killing the planet and the Democrat party will ensure there are no new people via abortion and they will kill off those of us here by making food so expensive you will not be able to afford to eat....THAT"S MY PARTY.....the party of death (hattip) to Ann Coulter!
Freedom of Religion NOT Freedom from Religion
... The voices told me to.
because, tastes great, less filling!
because, VIEETNAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because, who would you rather listen to, George Bush or George Clooney?
because, did I mention VIETTNNNAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure, but I believe that John Kerry was somehow involved in Vietnam.
I do wish he would have brought it up more. If we had just known that he had fought in Vietnam, it might have swayed more votes.....
....
heh.

I wake up from a nap, I saw all these comment titles, and thought you all had gone insane. It took me a second or two to realized what the heck was going on.
Anyway, I have nothing. I can't lower myself enough to even think like a Democrat to even come up with a hypothetical.
witness the State of the Union Address given with all the oratorical pizzazz of a Trinity Sunday Morning Sermon.
Can I get an Amen?
" Got to love the Lord for making things like that."

I just get all tingly up my leg when I think about the first SOTU address where the speaker will actually use the phrase "G-D America!"

I was having a Really, really, really, really, really, really, ... bad day.
Y'all made me laugh my pants off.
Now also found at The Minority Report
My pleasure Simps...My week's been that way...I've been surly for days and it's grown with every comment from our learless feeder...LOL
This and my post that started it got me laughing so hard my wife thinks I've lost my mind because at one point I couldn't see through the tears to type and I had to wipe my computer screen off because I spit water all over it...

I want the other countries to like us.
I want to heal the world and make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race.
I want someone who understands my problems even if he or she can't do anything to solve them.
I want to be sure our farmers making two million dollars don't get short-changed by less demand or lower prices, and I sure love the sweet job that National Honey Board is doing.
We have too many black people in this country, and Democrats will help Planned Parenthood to take care of them.
Finally, I'll voter democrat because I miss the good old days. Those were the days when we didn't have cars (and thus weren't in need of fuel); we didn't need have heating and air conditioning (and thus didn't have to worry about settings that were too high or too low); we didn't have toilets, and the old Penney's catalog was the only bath tissue around; and we didn't know when human life began (and thought life underwent a macroevolutionary species change within the womb), or better yet and more realistically, infanticide was the norm for all society. Oh the days before Rome fell were wonderful, weren't they!
Surely it comes down to
".. because they've got a bunch of folks who say they know what's best for me and I though I'd give them the chance to try it out"
the nasty Rethugs keep saying things that make me think and that makes my head hurt. Then it ruins the rest of my day because I have to work harder to listen to Katie and Oprah and Joy. It's no fun listening to them if you have to think, too. Off to meditate on today's mantra for Dems:
My head is an empty vessel. May it ever be so. Ommmm.
Because a Deaf woman and a couple of her Deaf friends went to one of Obama rallies, I can't remember where. Obama saw them signing to each other, and he actually came up to them, before he gave a speech, and signed a bit to them. Obama wasn't fluent in ASL, but he made a genuine impression on them, he even required them to go in front row so that they could have a better view of their interpreter interpreting Obama's speech.
After the speech was done, Obama met with Deaf people again and asked one of them what she wanted for the Deaf people across America.
Are you ready, no, I am not kidding, but are you seriously ready to read below on what she wanted?
Arts.
That's right. Arts. Just one word, Arts. Again, I emphasize one word: Arts. A - R - T - S. Arts! Arts!
ARTS!
Yep, that's why this Deaf woman and her friends are voting Democrat. Sad, isn't it? Granted, this Deaf group wasn't intellectually smart or educated. But think about it...

I'm voting Democrat because...
I want to help those detainees! By golly, I'll get judges who will make rulings that will be most likely to cause those detainees to just be killed right there on the battlefield! After all, who wants to be detained? Death before Detainment! And well, if a few Americans die in the process, oh well, they should have done better in school so they could have been successful, like me, and then they wouldn't have had to join that EEEEEVVVVIIILLLL military.
Gov't cheese melts like plastic which is almost as good as having low cost heating oil during the winter.
Already posted in AceinTx thread but I figured I would give it another try here.
