1. I voted Republican because you can blame problems on poor people instead of the rich ones who actually run things.
2. I voted Republican because firefighters and teachers are
scum-sucking leaches, but the oil companies raking in record profits
NEED those hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidies.
3. I voted Republican because I believe companies like my cable TV
provider, insurance company and credit card company could do a better
job running the country than the government, no matter how much they
screw me over.
4. I voted Republican because I dont trust the government, although
I favored the government spying on my health/financial records and
tapping my phone when Bush was in office to keep us safe from trrists.
5. I voted Republican because I don't really care whether terrorists, murderers and drug dealers own guns or not.
6. I voted Republican because I believe climate change doesn't
exist; if I can't see it with my own two eyes, it doesn't exist. Like
gravity.
7. I voted Republican because I hate women having abortions, but
once the baby is born and dies from a preventable illness that okay.
8. I voted Republican because I believe in laying off workers to
boost profits; then I get to complain about lazy unemployed people.
9. I voted Republican because I understand capitalism. Demand
doesnt increase jobs ensuring corporations pay no taxes and cutting
healthcare and education does.
10. I voted Republican because I care about the deficit and support
cutting services that I really need. But extra tax cuts for the super
rich that actually caused the deficit should be extended indefinitely.
11. I voted Republican because I believe in never having to solve
any problems in the government because I insist government is the
problem anyway.
12. I voted Republican because I hate activist judges, unless they
are conservative (Yes, corporations should get to spend unlimited money
in elections).
13. I voted Republican because spite and fear is better than hope and change.
