Top 10 Reasons to Vote Democrat

Top 10 Reasons to Vote Democrat as written by Steven Hayward at Powerline.com

This top ten list is old, but is making the rounds again. It’s billed as a David Letterman top ten list, though it is not. (Actually you really don’t need to check Snopes.com to figure that out. Letterman would never run a list that hits Democrats this hard.) But as some famous liberal said, “fake, but accurate!”

10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry 
whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.

9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn’t.

8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

6. I vote 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 am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.

5. I vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.

4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.

3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.

2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

And, the number one (1) reason I vote Democrat is…….. because I think it’s better to pay $billions$ for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, or fish here in America. We don’t care about the beetles, gophers, or fish in those other countries.

Meanwhile, here is in fact Letterman’s “Top Ten Ways You Can Tell Democrats Are in Trouble” from 2010, and they mostly fit today, too:

Senator's stereotype haunting Louisiana

Senator's Stereotype Haunting Louisiana from the files of Jeff Crouere at Ringside Politics in New Orleans, Louisiana

On this Halloween weekend, U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) played a nasty trick on the voters of Louisiana. She reiterated the ignorant and inaccurate stereotypes of Louisiana and the South by strongly implying that people of her home state are both racist and sexist.

In response to a question from Chuck Todd of NBC News about why the President is not popular in Louisiana, Landrieu said, “The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans.

It's been a difficult time for the President to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It's not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It's more of a conservative place. So we've had to work a little bit harder.”

By her inane comments, Landrieu slammed her constituents, doing tremendous harm to the image of the state. According to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Landrieu “appears to be living in a different century,” and he lambasted her remarks as a “major insult” and “remarkably divisive.”

Of course, the President is not unpopular in Louisiana because of his skin color, it is because his policies are destructive. He has failed across the board from domestic to foreign policies and the voters of Louisiana are upset that Senator Landrieu has voted for the President's policies 97% of the time.

Not surprisingly, despite her support for President Obama, Landrieu has kept him away from Louisiana because he is so unpopular in the state. Instead, she has resorted to inviting both Bill and Hillary Clinton to Louisiana in an attempt to improve her sagging political fortunes.

Landrieu's remarks have created a political firestorm and received plenty of attention from Fox News and other national media outlets. These incendiary comments will only worsen her poll numbers as Louisiana voters will undoubtedly be offended by the claim they are both racist and sexist.

By insulting her constituents, Landrieu did not sound like a skilled politician with 35 years of elective office experience. It shows how desperate it has become for the Senator in the final days of this race. Polls show that she is running behind both of her Republican opponents in a hypothetical December runoff.

One of her Republican opponents, Colonel Rob Maness, believes that the Senator needs to address this growing controversy. In the Colonel's view, “Sen. Landrieu owes the people of Louisiana an apology for relegating them to nothing but racists and sexists."

Of course, Colonel Maness is correct and Senator Landrieu owes the people of Louisiana a sincere apology. If Louisiana people are so racist, why did they elect Bobby Jindal, an Indian American, as Governor and Joseph Cao, a Vietnamese-American, as Congressman? If the people were so sexist, why did Landrieu win three terms as Senator and Kathleen Blanco get elected as Governor?

Ironically, on Saturday, the supposedly racist state of Louisiana will be welcoming African American superstar Dr. Ben Carson to St. Tammany Parish for a rally with GOP Senate candidate Dr. Bill Cassidy. A huge crowd will welcome Dr. Carson to Louisiana, not because of his race, but because his innovative ideas are popular with the people of the state.

If President Obama espoused conservative policies his approval rating would be strong. If Senator Landrieu was a conservative instead of a liberal, she would not have to worry about getting re-elected.

It is not Landrieu's gender that will cause her defeat this year, it is her disastrously liberal policies and her clear dislike for her constituents. In contrast to the Senator's stereotypical beliefs that her constituents are dim witted racists and sexists, the people of Louisiana are smart enough to know when it is time to retire one of their arrogant elected officials.
