Ol' Russ gives us the reasons he voted Democratic this past year:
1. I voted Democratic because I love the fact that I can marry whatever I want. I now may marry my Labrador.
2. I voted Democratic because I believe oil company profits of 4 percent on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15 percent isn’t.
3. I voted Democratic because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
4. I voted Democratic because freedom of speech is fine as long as I agree with what is said and nobody else is offended by it.
5. I voted Democratic because I am way too irresponsible to own a gun. I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murders and thieves.
6. I voted Democratic 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 10 years if I don’t start driving a Prius.
7. I voted Democratic because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
8. I voted Democratic because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.
9. I voted Democratic because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
10. I voted Democratic 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.
11. I voted Democratic because I think it is better to pay billions for their oil to people who hate us but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, spotted owl, gopher or fish.
12. I voted Democratic because I believe that the men and women who served this country should have to pay their own medical expenses based on the fact that it is a volunteer military... as well as the fact that my head is so firmly misplaced toward the south end of my body it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.
