I am voting republican (text version)
I am voting Republican because

We don't like shopping at small neighborhood stores. We don't want the problem of choosing where to shop. And we just love cheap plastic crap from China.

I'm voting Republican because I don't really want a cure for AIDS or for breast cancer. (They are just gays and women.)

I'm voting Republican because I think new drugs should be made available immediately whether they've been tested properly or not. If the major pharmaceutical companies' bottom lines are healthy, then I feel healthy too.

I'm voting Republican so that my little Caitlin can be in a classroom with at least 30 other children. That way she can be challenged by fighting for attention.

I'm voting Republican because women just can't be trusted to make decisions about their own bodies. Never. Ever. Ever.

I'm voting Republican because I've already seen the great outdoors. Continuing our use of fossil fuels freely is far more important than preserving our natural wildlands.

We're voting Republican because we like a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. We really like knowing that even if we're separate, we'll still be called equal.

I'm voting Republican because I need to be told who I can love. I need the government to tell me. I need them to tell me how I can best show a lifetime commitment. And Republicans are just the folks to do that.

I'm voting Republican because corporations should not have to pay to clean up environmental damage. The EPA is an outmoded idea. If people want clean water, buy it in a bottle.

I'm voting Republican because I don't want to know if the food I am eating has been genetically modified or exposed to radiation. I don't want to have to live with that fear, you know? So if the label says it's food, that's good enough for me.

I'm voting Republican because I really enjoy being screwed by the utility companies.

Because we need more minorities in prison.

Because hybrid cars really suck.

Because I just don't feel like I deserve health insurance.

Because Texas needs more billionaires.

I'm voting Republican because sometimes the constitution is just one big inconvenient headache.

I think the whole world should be run by one big corporation. I think it would be so much cozier.

Because all other countries are in fear to us. We should start as many wars as we need to keep it that way.

So I can stay in Iraq.

So I can go to Iran.

So if you're thinking about voting something besides Republican, don't bother. Stay home. We've got it all taken care of. You'll get exactly what you deserve.

6. Some responses from our psychotic friends at Rapture Ready:
How about one about voting dem? I am voting democrat because I think murder of babies is awesome. I am voting democrat because I can't hold a job and I need taxpayers to pay my way through life. It is also cool that for each extra kid I have, I get a raise! I am voting democrat because I think that only when gas is $20 per gallon can the 4 eyed monkey toad survive due to less drivers on the road causing harmful emissions. I am voting democrat because my friend is voting democrat and she told me that republicans are like my mom and dad who are trying to kick me out of their basement, and I don't want to move out because I am only 28...........

------------------

I'm voting democrat because I want pedophiles to have greater access to our children.
I'm voting democrat because you don't deserve freedoms of speech, religion, or the right to bear arms.
I'm voting democrat because I like the idea of killing babies.

Yep it goes both ways. Bring it on.

-------------------

I'm voting democrat because I think it's cool to be dependent on foreign oil.
I'm voting democrat so that billions of our tax dollars can be spent on environmental policies supported by junk science.
I'm voting democrat because I think we should sit down and have cozy peace chats with Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez and Kim Jong Il (or whatever the North Korean dude's name is)...they're not such bad fellows, you know.

--------------------

I'm voting Democratic because I admire cool radicals who openly despise America.

I'm voting Democratic because I want to emulate great patriots like Barbra Striesand, Michael Moore, and Jane Fonda.

Above all, I'm voting Democratic because I'm a proud global citizen.

---------------------

I'm voting democratic because I hate the country that gives me the freedom to do so without any consequences.

----------------------

I'm voting democratic because I want to give a good chunk of my hard earned money away to people who don't want to work. I'm voting democratic because I want the same oversight the government gave to the people of New Orleans when Katrina hit, on my health care. I like voting for the slackers like Pelosi, Reid, and the entire senate and congress (being a democratic majority). Since they have the lowest approval ratings, I'm gonna have to vote for them.

This is part of what we're up against, gang.

7. wow, completely out of their fucking minds!
While I can refute every one of those claims - which are not reality or fact based - i doubt they can refute ANY of our points about voting rethuglicant.

10. Uh . . . "Bring WHAT on ". . . exactly?
A bunch of made-up, hyperbolic, reich-wing fantasy bullshit about what those idiots THINK a progressive is about?

Like Tony Benn says: If you can find money to kill people, you can find money to help people.
