      Why I'm voting Democrat
      letter to the editor
      I’m voting Democrat because like most Americans I trust lawyers more 
than anyone else; I think only lawyers should run the government, and all the 
Democrat Leaders are lawyers: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, John 
Edwards, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Leader Harry Reid, Bill Clinton, 
Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry, to name just a few. (Al Gore dropped out of 
Law School, so I don’t trust him as much, except on Global Warming.)

      I’m voting Democrat because the Democrats support the trial lawyers and 
I think this country needs more lawsuits and less tort reform. And I don’t 
believe the trial lawyers’ contributions have a thing to do with it.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because Congress has done such a wonderful job 
under Democrat leadership the last two years, that I want a lot more of the 
same.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I want to get my health care from the same 
competent, efficient, cost-effective, customer-service-focused folks who run 
the US Post Office, the Pentagon, FEMA and the state Registry of Motor 
Vehicles. 

      I'm voting 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’m voting Democrat because Sen. Obama has promised to cut the taxes of 
95% of the people, including the 30% who don’t pay taxes.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because Sen. Obama has promised to take away the 
secret ballot in union elections, and I think the union bosses should know if 
a workingman or woman is with them, or against them.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because Sen. Obama has over three years experience 
in the Federal Government, and “Hope” is a great strategy.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because Sen. Obama voted “present” instead of “yes” 
or “no” over 120 times in the Illinois State Senate, and I think we need a 
decisive president.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I think that drilling for American oil is 
foolish, when we can buy oil from the Middle East.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I think windmills (except off Hyannis) are 
a better answer to reliable, clean energy than Nuclear Energy.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I don’t think we give enough to other 
countries in foreign aid.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I’m for putting up barriers to free trade, 
as they did in 1930 with the Smoot-Hawley bill. That made things much better 
then.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because I miss the high unemployment, inflation and 
interest rates of the Jimmy Carter years.
       
      I’m voting Democrat because parents shouldn’t get to choose the school 
their kids go to. Parents should leave their children’s education to the 
teachers and stay out of it.
       

      I’m voting Democrat because I think this is the perfect time to raise 
the Capital Gains tax and drive investment money out of the stock market.

      I'm voting 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'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better 
job of spending the money I earn than I would, and I want to spread my wealth 
around to those who earn less—or nothing.

      I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody 
is offended by it. 

      I'm voting 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'm voting 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'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about restoring partial 
birth abortions so long as we keep all death row murderers alive. 

      I'm voting Democrat because I believe that small businesses should not 
be allowed to make a profit. They need to break even and give the rest away 
to the government for redistribution to people who didn’t start businesses. 

      I'm voting Democrat because I believe the law is what judges say it is, 
and not what legislators say -- or the constitution.


      I’m voting Democrat because the media would call me a racist if I 
didn’t.

      For in reason, all government without the consent of the governed is 
the very definition of slavery. -Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745)
