Charlotte Observer Forums: Top 12 Reasons Why Stupid People Vote Republican
TOP 12 REASONS TO VOTE REPUBLICAN
When your family or friends cannot explain why they voted Republican, .... Give them this list and they can pick a reason from this "TOP 12".
1. I voted Republican because I believe in wasting BILLIONS in government welfare for oil companies but whine when one thin dime goes to a poor person.
2. I voted Republican because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would....because everyone with any sense knows the Republican party spends just as much as any other party. And though my taxes are lower under a Democrat, I still am a stupid Republican who likes to vote against my best interests.
3. I voted Republican because Freedom of Religion is fine as long as it is just my religion.

Rant on!

Mostly, they vote Republican because all their friends vote Republican and the preacher says they'll go to hell if they vote for anybody who wants to keep abortion legal.

pretty accurate for my state. Other issues to, but mostly "spot on." There are a total of two democratic families that live on our road, my family and our friends further up the road. Rest are ignorant rednecks for the most part. So frustrating!!!!
