I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
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.
I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I voted 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 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.
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.
I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
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 THEY see fit.
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.
I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rectum that it is unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view

I voted Republican, because it doesnt matter who I can marry, because I am such a a$$hole, noone would marry me.
I voted Republican, because I want $4.00/gallon fuel prices
I voted Republican, because I believe Iraq deserves our tax dollars more than we do
I voted Republican, because freedom due process & unreasonable search / seizure are overrated
I voted Republican, because I know the "Arabs" will ALWAYS be idiots, whether we are there or not
....and so on
yes - Democrats & Republicans ARE idiots. but, keep dividing the nation.....so we can also drop the "indivisable" part from the pledge of allegiance..... idiots

While I would agree that extremist within both parties are idiots, I would also have to suggest that the pendulum is swinging to the extreme now. When the two parties have such diverging prospectives of our current situation, one can only expect to see differing opinions.

yup - which creates an atmosphere in which neither party can EVER hope to get anything done if we are to survive as a nation - Republicans and Democrats MUST GO. They are in fact this nations WORST enemy. Iraq, Afghanistan & the terrorists have YET to do the damage these fools have done.

And I agree completely. The party system must end. We were warned in the beginning not to do it.
BTW I am not pro Repug. I just hate them a lot less. You have to admit the Dem's are way out there on this. I would actually like to like the Libs but.. Well, they are kinda wacky so forget parties all together.
All and all this was a humorous post leaning heavily on the sarcastic.
People who try to divide this country up will ultimately ruin it. When we need so badly to come together, all I find here are people interested in tearing us apart.

Extremist will do that, they want only their perspectives seen and heard, not willing to compromise, will tend to run rough shod over the opposition at every opportunity.
Kind of sounds like our current Congress huh?

I added the italicized word. We've had an extremist government for the past 8 years. It just seemed normal if you are an extremist.
Ike, was the last "Normal" president during my lifetime. JFK-Johnson-Nixon-Carter-Reagan-Clinton- GW Bush--all could be described as extremist depending who is doing the describing. . Ford and Bush Sr weren't too bad, seeing how they didn't screw up too much.

If by "come together" you mean singing koombyah while Obama, Reid, and Pelosi destroy our freedoms, economy, and security then I regret to say that I am joining the Resistance.
NO my good man, resistance is NOT futile. SURE it would be more "efficient" if we all just decided to submit to the will of the state and surrender all responsibilties along with all individuality. But I guess I am just a slob. I've learned to live with the inefficiency of democracy.

Where was it? Or do you just reserve it for Democrats?
You offer no criticisms of the Bush administration while they "destroy our freedoms, economy, and security" but, rather suddenly - 30 days into Obama's presidency, he's evil incarnate for having a plan. What plan, may I ask, would you have us follow? Shall we wallow into an economic nadir deep enough to force the Great Depression to change its name to the Modest Depression? That's what Laissez faire policies get you.
Your rage is partisan, man.

Free speech zones? You mean keeping disruptive people from disrupting what are essentially private events? Cute name and very misleading, dishonest even. And last I checked the law says "Congress shall make no law", not event organizers.
The wire taps technically didn't need warrants.
And there was a lot of out rage about TARP.
And Obama does have a plan. Its the same plan that has failed every other time it was tried.

Jeremiah, You and I have totally different perspectives of many things and I doubt we'll agree on much but, I wanted you to know that I just attempted to give you a plus for hanging in there. Too many of your friends are hiding, I respect you for your stance even if I don't agree with you.
Edited: Actually you already had one. Well, you just got a nudge.

You can sit there and pretend all you like that I have never criticized the Bush Administration but all you need to do, if you are TRULY interested in the truth (laugh), is to hit the search button.
I criticized the Bail-out package, Bush's Border plan (AND EXECUTION), I also criticized his unwillingness to go on TV and speak to the American People often enough about important issues of the day. He didn't lead from the front, in other words. I have Plenty of issues with President Bush. He had his faults but his policies, for the most part, were right for the country even if his ability to communicate and unify was poor. The proof is in the pudding. For 6 years we had a booming economy, increased demands for oversight and regulation, good jobs, the worldwide spread of freedom, the best security in a generation, and propsperity overall. Once the Democrats took over we had $5.00/gallon gas, an economy in freefall, increased security threats, high unemployment, and resistance to any attempts to regulate the housing industry with words like "racism" being thrown around when Republicans had the nerve to call Frank Raines the thief he later proved to be.
But you, the only true partisan in this conversation, have NO critical observations of Obama...and yes, I DID A SEARCH!

Since when is it the government's job to give us jobs, wealth, healthcare, and an education? What are we suppose to do while we wait around for the almighty government to give us everything we need?
I say: if you want a job, then create one or get one. if you want an education, then go buy one. if you want a bridge, then build one. If you want to color your hair, then color it. If you want healthcare, then pay for it yourself. If you can't afford a house, then don't buy one today.

Just because I need a good giggle. Why is it you think Obama can spend his way to prosperity when it failed miserably for FDR, LBJ, and Carter?
I gotta hear this. My apologies to all the people of reason who are about to suffer a migraine from the answer.
I am not responding to answer, there is no answer. But if someone wants to take a stab please answer one for me as well. I now there is blame from both sides for the deficit. Of course this latest budget will double it. The three stooges in charge will stretch it out to what, about 12 trillion.That is a million a day for about 35,000 years. These stooges are like three 16 year old boys in a brothel with a stolen credit card, They won't stop until everyone in the place gets the shaft. My simple question is. HOW IN THE HELL ARE WE OR OUR CHILDREN, AND BEYOND THEM, EVER GOING TO PAY FOR THIS?
