Republicans are so annoyingly wrong about everything

[Betsy]

They think they are so funny (I guess) but their humor just fails every time. It's really kind of sad that they're so delusional. Here's the latest thing they're emailing around:

When your friends can't explain why they voted for Democrats, givethem this list. They can then pick a reason

10. 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.

9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

8. I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

7. 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.

6. 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.

5. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

4. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

3. 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 the Democrats see fit.

2. 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.

1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rear-end that it is unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

I'll keep my Freedom, my God and my Guns... You keep the Change...

Get out and vote November 2nd, 2010!



* note: a guy named John Ritchie Jr. from West Fork posted this as a note on his facebook page (and Donna Bragg (the retired 40/29 anchor) actually "liked" it! Ugh!) - you can't post a comment on his note or wall unless you're a friend, but you can send him a rebuttal by facebook private message if you feel compelled to do so.

Normally I would but this one isn't worthy. Vague and not much substance.

Regarding #10 I would point out that gas taxes go toward building and maintenance of roads and last I checked, the taxes don't cover the cost. So not only does the government not "make" money off of this system of funding the roads, they lose. Typical Teabag jingoism and ignorance.

Aside from they're use of "Democrat" instead of "Democratic," the lunacy is appallingly evident in #6, where they once again confuse weather with climate.

What idiots.
