Everyone:
This is my first Diary so give me some slack here. But in the republican circles they have been floating around some emails along the lines of "Why I Am Voting Democrat" doing what they do best by mocking policies and making fun of people instead of sound ideas.
The responses below were written by a friend of mine in response to that republican email that has been circulating recently.
Keep in mind he is also a service man and routinely travels on classified military duty (so hes not some tree hugger liberal as some on another site may want to try and depict as such)
Thanks and I hope you all enjoy and forward this on to all your friends!
:::::: FEEL FREE TO STEAL THESE, QUOTE THE POST IF YOU CAN THOUGH!:::
Update x3
I saw some of these elsewhere from links provided. He may have misrepresented his e-mail. Oh Well.
I never said I was a journalist so you guys need to chill out and enjoy the lines and the great discussion it created and fwd on to all your friends that are over all of the bullshit e-mails the repubs send out.
_DONATE WHAT YOU CAN TO OBAMA __
I'm voting Republican because being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and
you need our prayers for your recovery.
I'm voting Republican because Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.
I'm voting Republican because "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.
I'm voting Republican because a woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions
affecting all mankind without regulation.

I'm voting Republican because a president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
I'm voting Republican because Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
I'm voting Republican because the public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.
