Dems and Reps

April 20th, 2008 | Posted by Smithers at 10:02 am in Politics |

I read some arguments against voting for a Democrat for President. Some comparisons between the two parties:

- Democrats are a bunch of global warming cultists.

And Republicans all believe that the Earth is only 5000 years old and that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs around the Garden of Eden.

- Democrats are going to ruin the economy.

Correct me if I am wrong, but haven’t we had a Republican in the White House for 8 years and the economy is in the dumper?

- Democrats are soft on terrorism.

That must be why Al-Qaeda are back to full strength in Afghanistan and the government that the Bush Administration is supporting in Iraq is allied with Iran.

- Democrats will expand the size of government with more unnecessary programs and benefits.

Like No Child Left Behind and the Medicare Prescription Drug Program?

- Democrats will take away your personal rights and privacy.

Like the right not to be arrested and held without charge or trial indefinitely? Or the privacy of your phone calls?

- Democrats are elitists and can’t relate to normal Americans.

That’s a joke, right?

OK, so I think we can all agree that both parties have their own foibles and that four more years of a Republican administration would be a complete and utter disaster as well as the total end of this country.
