Top 30 reasons why I vote republican
1.I have full confidence in myself and my ability to make decisions, I don't need the media, or MTV to influence me
Yet Glen beck had most of the lot out on the lawn saying Obama wasn't born an American and that a "Health Czar" is not in keeping with American politics.
2. Before every time of peace, there was a prior war.
Because people like you keep wanting to stop the peace and create the next war...
3. If matter cannot be created or destroyed, who…or what created matter
First of all, that is a law of thermo dynamics you are misquoting there. In the law of conservation of energy it says ENERGY cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is the only things that existed as far as our current level of technological observation can tell going back to seconds after the big bang. So in answer to your question, energy created matter. Particle accelerators convert energy into subatomic particles all the time, for example by colliding electrons and positrons. Some of the kinetic energy in the collision goes into creating new particles a.k.a matter! Read a book!
4. I believe women and ethnic minorities are smart enough and capable enough to make it on their own; they do not need the government to help them
Later down this list you say you don't accept handouts except from family. What if your family wasn't willing to give you a hand or you have no family to help? Not to mention people are racist and sexist, so with some many of these people the only chance to make it is to get some help to get on your feet and bypass the idiots with the problems.
5. The long run always out-weights the short run
And do we have to wait until the second coming of Christ for this long run to grant us benefits? We have to think in both worlds what will help us now and will continue to help in the future. no tunnel vision, open up to progressive ideas that help here and then.
6. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun.
Then do you need a gun for, just use his car...
7. I believe if you want to come to this country you should play by our rules. That is how it is in every other nation of the world
And the first rule in America is freedom!
8. How many times have you ever been hired full-time by a poor person?????
How many times has a homeless person been hired full time by a wealthy person?
9. Except for family, I don't take handouts
Again, what if you have no family to help you?
10. I believe it is wrong to cheat on your wife (or spouse)
Then why do republicans do it as often as democrats? Being a dick does not follow party lines.
11. I believe immigrants are good hard working citizens, but without learning the language, accepting our culture and traditions, and PAYING TAXES, they will always be looked down upon. It is for their own benefit to do this
I agree, they want to work here learn the language that will certainly help! as far as culture, American culture is so diverse, my culture wouldn't mesh well with someone from another state even! Paying taxes are very important, if only it didn’t take 10 years of not paying taxes because you are waiting for citizenship and getting paid a third of minimum wage to survive.
12. Texas has the death penalty and the lowest crime rate. I wonder if there is a correlation between the two?
Where did you get your stats? I just looked at the stats and the average for the country Texas was higher than the national average for violent crime.

13. Arizona and North Carolina have low taxes, and high job growth. I wonder if there is a correlation between the two?
Ok, douche, .4% lower than national average is nothing to be proud about. If the unemployment was like 3-5% lower than nat. average then I would agree.
14. California has the highest number of immigrants using the healthcare and education systems. Cali also has the largest deficit. I wonder if there is a correlation between the two.
Easy solution, Legalize marijuana, tax and regulate it like alcohol or cigarettes and that will spike revenue. As far as not helping, this country is founded by immigrants you fucktard, it is un-American to not help them.
15. New York and California have the highest Corporate taxes. I wonder why that is why companies form those states are downsizing, outsourcing, or just plain leaving.
New York has a huge corporate standing, and paying the CEOs and CFOs loads. It’s the labor jobs being outsourced, the jobs that are given to people who aren’t wearing a suit to work. Outsource the CEO that will lower the cost to run the company!
16.When it comes to voting Gay rights, Abortion, and Separation of Church and State are important issues to me, but not as important as Monetary, Moral, and Military issues.
Monetary is so complex that I am not sure you or I understand it fully, Morality is subjective and you cannot hold others to your standard of morality. If I did that to you, I would say you are immoral for not wanting to help immigrants. Military, I agree that is huge, so are you for or against helping them get an education after serving or is that too much for the government to do the men in service can fend for themselves?
17. I believe Defense, Police, Firefighters, Healthcare, Education, and Roads/Public Transportation should be the bulk of Government spending.
Then how come those are the first things your party cuts when figuring a budget?
18. A country who forgets about its defenders, will also soon be forgotten
Too true!
19. I believe in finding a solution to a problem, not protesting about a problem
If I didn’t protest about an issue that didn’t affect you how would people know it was hurting me.
20. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe it was the same democrats that cried over Separation of church and state when republicans tried to institute prayer in public Schools. So explain to me how democrats are trying to force a law on the church, (or any religious institution) forcing them to marry gays, is consistent. Isn’t Church and state supposed to be separate? I thought we could not impose laws on Religious institutions? But hey…Gays should be unionized somehow!!! I believe They should have the same rights as married couples such as taxes, etc.
Marriage is not a religious affair, it is a legal matter, you get a marriage license form the state not a church you dip shit! Separation is still upheld, the government is not doing anything with the church. The church can choose to be bigots all they want, but the government cannot do that and by granting marriage licenses to GLBT community, they are providing what your said was ok, a unionization and being given equal rights. That whole separate but equal shit does not fly anymore bud.
21. Under a republican president, the rich still pay the highest amount in taxes. So what is everyone crying about?
The top 1% are paying the bulk of the money, but not proportional to their income. Lower tax brackets are paying more in proportion than the top 1% even if more physical cash comes from the top…
22. Pharmaceutical companies are not evil corporations that mark-up their prices for fun. They have something called overhead. It cost millions of dollars to get a drug out on the market. That is if it is approved by the FDA of course.
Then how come they have the biggest profit margins ever, R&D costs granted, marketing granted, but how can they have so much liquid cash if they are bumping the prices well above needed?
23. People complain about the price of gas, but they don't want companies to drill in Alaska. This would only double or own supply, make us less dependent on foreign oil, and cut prices in half. Supply and Demand people.
Environment!!!! Look at the gulf incident! Instead of fighting for drill baby drill, why aren’t we pushing for wind turbines? Or take advantage of ocean currents? These “green” methods will create the same about of energy as your oil and not killing the earth for a non-renewable resource that simultaneously kills the planet.
24. American Troops should be allowed to shoot to kill, because that is what the enemy does.
Yes because an eye for an eye is a great policy. Sun Tzu would be so proud…
25. Except For Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism, War Has Never Solved Anything
War only had to end slavery because people like you wouldn’t move past a stupid set of ideas. I will give you the end of the Nazi regime, there was no way out of that because there is no talking reason to an irrational person, much less an irrational brainwashed countries populous.
26. I believe marijuana is a gateway drug, and that has also been proven.
Only because the people you get the weed from now are also selling other things and possibly lacing the product to get you hooked on other things. Regulation would end that now to mention the fact that when I was smoking weed, I was also a consumer of alcohol, so your jack daniels is a gateway drug too in that sense!
27. Paying people by commission increases total revenue, and productivity
That does work in some business models, like Ponzi schemes.
28. The more you sue McDonalds, the more they will raise their prices
The more you eat McDonalds the higher you push healthcare prices...now I am gonna sue you!!!!
29. I believe everyone is equal, and when it comes to opportunity the more you put in, the more you get out.
Everyone is equal in the “Animal Farm” sense or in the “separate but equal” sense?
30. I believe America is the land of opportunity, and freedom, (move to North Korea and tell me how free you are) but freedom is not free.
And freedom isn’t what your think it means, at least not in America these days….Oh you are free to say whatever you want, just don’t do it in an Airport, in front of the cops, on the radio…you now those kind of places.
