Why I am voting Democrat

Re: Why I am voting Democrat

I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America.

I'm voting Democrat because it's better to turn corn into fuel than it is to eat.

I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $4 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America.

I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.

I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq, I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe people who can't tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years if I don't start riding a bicycle, build a windmill or inflate my tires to proper levels.

I'm voting Democrat because it's all right to kill millions of babies as long as we keep violent, convicted murderers on death row alive.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses in America should not be allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe guns, and not the people misusing them, are the cause of crimes and killings.

I'm voting Democrat because when someone with a weapon threatens my family or me, I know the government can respond faster through a call to 911 than I can with a gun in my hand.

I'm voting Democrat because oil companies' 5% profit on a gallon of gas are obscene, but government taxes of 18% on the same gallon of gas are just fine.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four elitist liberals should rewrite the Constitution every few months to suit some fringe element that could never get their agenda past voters.

I'm voting Democrat because illegal aliens are not criminals, are not sucking up resources through government aid, hospital services, education, or social services, but are just people trying to make a better life by coming to America illegally. We can't blame them for that, can we?

I'm voting Democrat because now I can now marry whatever I want, so I've decided to marry my horse.



Marty's :

* Because an official language is contrary to the very essence of this country. The 'great melting pot' did not conduct organized 'English only' campaigns, inasmuch as all my friends growing up spoke foreign languages at home...its all their parents knew...German, Polish, Italian, Greek and some, even Gaelic. English only is nothing but prejudice and bias against Hispanics made official. It is un-American.

*Because, while I am in favor of incentives to spur alternate energy sources, I am opposed to Republican sponsored corporate welfare in the form of farm subsidies (90% of which go to huge, profitable, Republican corporations) for ethanol...which is a bust. $1.00/bushel on corn in various credits is a crime.

*Because all the estimated oil which could be produced from these sources wouldn't lower the cost of a gallon of gasoline by as much as $0.02/gal. The whole oil deal/drilling/refineries is bullshit..fostered by big oil. For christsake, they spend millions, sub rosa, supporting 'greenies' and buying up battery technology...to keep the propaganda going...while they literally rake in tons of money...and I say, good for them. Why would companies that are making the greatest profits in the history of the world want to upset the applecart? Who wants to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs by increasing supply? Oil companies are NOT patriotic organizations, they are profit making enterprises that don't care if they make their profits in dinars, zlotys, yen, dollars, yuans, pounds or wampum.....all of which are converted into eurodollars and warehoused on the Isle of Man or other havens, only to be repatted when they are given a tax waiver by, heretofore Republican, Congresses. If you were the CEO of EXXON and learned your company had discovered the largest oil field ever, would you even announce it, causing oil prices to sink to, say, $10/bbl...or would you simply store it..leave it where it is for future use? If consumption stays static or rises little, lower prices would mean lower revenues, right? Why would any businessman want lower revenues with the same margin that he had on larger revenues? He wouldn't...and he won't. For chrissake, get your head in the game.


*Because no administration in the history of the United States has ever spent MORE money, that we don't have, and run up the largest deficits in history, making us beholding to foreign creditors that now are buying huge chunks of our financial system...once the largest and most powerful in the world. Open your goddamn eyes, we are witnessing the dissasembly of U.S. power...money. How the fuck can any Republican, conservative asshole say, with a straight face say that Dems are spenders and flaming socialists when a REPUBLICAN administration, a REPUBLICAN Treasury, a REPUBLICAN Federal Reserve and a REPUBLICAN Wall Street...engineers the largest single socialistic bailout in history? I termed these anti-capitalistic measures 'Billionaire Socialism' 18 months ago...the taxpayers are "all in" for the risks, the liabilities, but only scraps...which will never be seen...of the upside. 2 years ago, the alpha group of hedge managers were screaming at Dem committees to leave their incomes alone and taxed at cap gains rates because they were considered "carry interest", a 15% rate instead of a top ordinary rate of 35%. FYI, the individuals in the group made from $240,000,000 to $3,000,000,000 EACH, in 2007. Is one man, sitting at a computer manipulating huge amounts of money, basically unregulated, entitled to earn $3 BILLION dollars with a few keystrokes? Consider this, managers get a management fee of about 2% on assets they manage and 20% of profits. They get nothing, of course, on losses but neither do they kick in any of their own dough. Imagine a manager having 20,000 December oil contracts long and 20,000 Jan 2009 contracts short. Same commodity that can only be pennies apart in price. Let's say the Jan contracts have a loss of $100M...and the Dec have a corresponding gain of $100M. What is to prevent the manager from selling the Dec contracts, click, click its done. Nothing. He just made $20M for himself...but the $100M loss, while not taken is still on the books and exposed to higher margins and further losses...so he, click, click, sells 20,000 contracts of February 2009 contracts...a hedged position...neutral...until he plays games with this spread again. The statements to the fund investors shows the profits...but doesn't have to show the losses..as yet untaken. Voila!! But as soon as things go awry...it is the same multi-millionaire Wall Streeters that are running and begging to Washington for a bailout. Fuck Republicans, Gramm-Leach-Bliley and their 18th century laissez-faire, imperialistic economic philosophy. Just today the Fed agreed to a $37B loan to AIG, on top of the $85B they got 2 weeks ago. This is the same AIG that just spent over $400,000 of YOUR dough playing golf, drinking and getting hand jobs at the spa in Dana Point...I have to hand it the Republican corporate types, when they fuck the taxpayers, you amd me, they do it at 5 star resorts, that's classy. When low down, sleazy, black and poor liberals, such as ACORN, fuck the public...they do it in grimy, homeless tent cities.


*Because we should have never criminally invaded Iraq...for the oil and only the oil. Oil is our our life blood...and if it takes whatever means to assure a supply of it for the next 50 years, so be it, but at least don't so egregiously bullshit the American people. We could have assassinated Saddam and bought, paid for, a tractable Iraq regime for a fraction of the price we are still paying were it not for the maniacal neo-coms, including Dr. Strangelove, McCain. We did it with Central America 100 years ago, South America and the Shah of Iran...with 10 times the oil of Iraq, cheap. And our pact with the Arabs was nothing but a business contract even after they nationalized oil. With our power, was is NOT necessary. Further, the corporate/military complex runs this country and if we didn't have an enemy, a threat, requisite to sustain our ability to kill every soul on earth...we'd invent one. Unfortunately, there is only a very small market for used tanks, and none for used missiles and ammo, ergo, we must keep producing more, exponentially, for obvious financial reasons. We are already setting up little nuances of adversarial notices with China...who will someday own us. Getting to the terrorists part of your "vote"...that the United States could not locate and kill bin ladin in 7 years is bullshit...total fucking bullshit. That we could not have zeroed in on him, satellites can read license plates from 100 miles up, stake out a 100 or 1,000 sq mile sector and eradicate everything within it is preposterous. I'll let your wondrous imagination divine why we haven't yet killed bin Ladin.

*Because I'm tired of assholes like you that believe the asshole in the WH that says he talks with God, well, what the fuck, Eve talked to snakes, didn't she? And the thought of the boozing, horseshit pilot, lying, craps shooting gambler, dirty-leg fucking, phony 'hero' that confessed and signed papers admitting he was a war criminal, a treasonous violation of the military code punishable by death, low, dirty, characterless, no integrity, half nuts, Napoleanic crazed McCain and the narcissistic, vicious, horseshit mother, self-serving Boondock Bimbo...disgusts me.

*Because I'd rather see a potential human development arrested when it is but a mass of nebulous cells, than waiting until they develop into loving, happy babies whose brains we splatter like tapioca with our bombs. Or perhaps we wait until they are 18...and we can use them for grist in our imperialistic drives for economic hegemony all over the world. What the fuck, 55,000 in Viet Nam, 5 or 6,000 lives blown apart in the nid-east, families torn asunder...cost measued in mere peanuts relative to the gains and, as Dr. Strangelove would say, "honor."

You really don't want to hear my reasons on the rest of your items, do you?
