I am going to vote republican.
I'm voting republican because I believe the government is doing a great job of spending the money my grandkids - who won't even be born for some years to come - haven't even earned yet.
I'm voting republican because I believe freedom of speech should include lying through your teeth to put our country at war and kill 4141 of our troops and counting. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians, but they were all Iraqi anyway, right? How could that possibly be considered offensive?
I'm voting republican because I want to leave our troops in Iraq for a hundred years, and our defenses thus weakened, while the bad guys re-group and plot in some other part of the world.
I'm voting republican because I have a right to wanton consumption without responsibility towards protecting our environment.
I'm voting republican because women are merely baby factories and have no say in their reproductive process. I know this because god told me.
I'm voting republican because working-class Americans have a solemn duty to work hard and ensure a hefty corporate profit at minimal compensation. Said corporations likewise have no responsibility to contribute to the national treasury, and are encouraged to outsource jobs as the workers in foreign sweatshops are far more compliant to their masters and even cheaper. Those Americans who lose their jobs in such a manner shall then be considered lazy, unproductive welfare rats.
I'm voting republican because I agree with George Bush that the Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper."
I'm voting republican because if we leave Iraq and re-deploy our troops in a more responsible and stronger defensive position, there will be terrorists hiding around every corner and behind every street lamp across America with weapons of mass destruction. Trust the republicans on this.
I'm voting republican because being gay is just WRONG! I know so because god told me!
I'm voting republican because big oil companies are our friends who really, truly feel our pain, and are being treated poorly by all these working-class American ingrates. Imagine being asked to use some of those tens of billions of quarterly profit dollars for alternative energy research and help us become less dependent on imported oil.
I'm voting republican because basic medical and dental care are profitable commodities and should be available only to those who can afford them. If you can't afford them and seek them out anyway, you deserve to go bankrupt.
I'm voting republican because conserving energy and using less, and investing in alternative energy, aren't nearly as American as the destruction of the few remaining fragile ecosystems. We can just take pictures of them for posterity, then drill the hell out of 'em.
I'm voting republican because war, greed, gluttonous consumption, and irresponsibility are all just too cool to give up. They are the American way!
