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 voted for Obama 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 voted for Democrats 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 voted for Obama 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, DMV and our school systems.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because Sen. Obama has promised to cut the taxes of 95%
of the people, including the 30% who don't pay taxes.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because Sen. Obama has over three years experience in
the Federal Government, and "Hope" is a great strategy.
I voted for Obama because he voted "present" instead of "yes" or
"no" over 120 times in the Illinois State Senate, and I think we need a
decisive president.
I voted for Obama because I think that drilling for American oil is
foolish, when we can buy oil from the Middle East.
I voted for Obama because I think windmills are a
better answer to reliable, clean energy than Nuclear Energy.
I voted for Obama because I don't think we give enough to other countries
in foreign aid. The Global Poverty Act sounds GREAT. I want to donate .7%
of our ENTIRE GDP to the UN.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because I miss the high unemployment, inflation and
interest rates of the Jimmy Carter years.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because I think this is the perfect time to raise the
Capital Gains tax and drive investment money out of the stock market.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is
offended by it.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because I'm not concerned about restoring partial birth
abortions so long as we keep all death row murderers alive.
I voted for Obama 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 voted for Obama because I believe the law is what judges say it is, and
not what legislators say -- or the constitution.
I voted for Obama because the media would call me a racist if I didn't.
