I recently received an annoying chain e-mail sarcastically listing reasons for voting Democratic, among them:
"I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse."
I wrote a reply of my own reasons, and submit it here to start our own counter chain e-mail. Click for more!
Why I'm Voting Democratic
I'm voting Democratic, because I want to be taxed less, and what I do pay should go to uses other than socialism for corporations' bloated offshore operations.
I'm voting Democratic, because freedom of speech is fine even when the
government, church and homeschool moms are offended by it -- and because privacy of speech is for all American citizens, not just the ones the White House likes.
I'm voting Democratic, because it's time to finish what we started in Afghanistan, and bring the 9-11 architects to justice, no matter what side of the Pakistani border they're on.
I'm voting Democratic, because regardless of whether global warming is manmade, the future of business is resource management for out-of-control consumers like China - and I want America to lead the future of business.
I'm voting Democratic, because a nation that codifies religious belief into law is what we should be struggling against overseas, not trying to create here at home.
I'm voting Democratic, because the middle class needs financial help - not by the time profits "trickle down"; right now.
I'm voting Democratic, because the Constitution is a living document - and were it not for pointy-headed kooks, "separate but equal" would be the proud cry of the South today.
I'm voting Democratic, because my right to bear arms matters less to me than my desire to see my nation's troops armed in the field properly, given a clear mission, and treated right when they're brought home.
I'm voting Democratic, because marriage should always be a power of one's church or faith, not of the state.
I'm voting Democratic, because oil companies need more help like Iraq needs more dead GIs.
