Why I am voting Republican.

I'm voting Republican because being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

I'm voting Republican because Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

I'm voting Republican because "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

I'm voting Republican because a woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

I'm voting Republican because Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

I'm voting Republican because the best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

I'm voting Republican because group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

I'm voting Republican because if condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

I'm voting Republican because a good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

I'm voting Republican because HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

I'm voting Republican because providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

I'm voting Republican because global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

I'm voting Republican because Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

I'm voting Republican because a president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

I'm voting Republican because Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

I'm voting Republican because the public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

I'm voting Republican because what Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

I'm voting Republican because trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

"My attitude is if the science and the doctors suggest that the best palliative care and the way to relieve pain and suffering is medical marijuana then that's something I'm open to because there's no difference between that and morphine when it comes to just giving people relief from pain,” Obama said. “But I want to do it under strict guidelines. I want it prescribed in the same way that other painkillers or palliative drugs are prescribed.”

Obama open to limited legalization - First Read - msnbc.com

The above is a direct quote from Obama regarding his position on medical marijuana.

Thank you for link. But I don't like morphine. It made me nightmare. I took morphine in my iv when I was in hospital. I like Medical Marijuana over Morphine.

I disagree with Republican because it's not fair to alcohol and tobacco legalize. Medical Marijuana should be same. You can talk about it in other thread.

I saw many military, governors and someone else drink alcohol and smoking cigarettes. How about Marijuana? The problem is Military, Athletics, Lawyer and other employer must take a Drug Screen once time every months. Do you think Medical Marijuana will show up in system on drug screen?

Yes, medical marijuana would show up on a drug screen, but having a prescription for it would exempt the individual.

You can call it Irony, or you can call it Satire. I found a couple of same type of pages for 'Why I'm voting Democrat', but decided not to stoop down to that level.

I'm voting Republican and no longer a Democrat (have been for years) because Obama bin Laden doesn't salute the flag or Pledge of Allegiance.

I am, however, supporting him to win at the unemployment office.

I just don't pay attention to him since we had done with him and let him to say whatever he wants.

I know that electoral vote in Minnesota will be blue, no doubt.

If you choose to vote based on your prejudice, that is your choice. But I bet you will be more than willing to take advantage of the policies Obama puts into effect when, not if, he wins the election.

I'll just agree to disagree.

The constant use of his middle name is both juvenile and comical but hey, it's your choice.

You are voting republican because you have abdicated your ability to think. You have decided you want to believe certain things, and you are unwilling to look at the evidence all around you which shows you to be wrong. Republicans have destroyed the US economy while making their donors rich. Republicans have forced a war which democrats only reluctantly went along with. The republican war killed two of my friends. Republicans have spied on American citizens, and have ignored laws they don't like. Republicans are friends of big business, giving them tax breaks while making the middle class pay for most costs. Republicans have financed the war with loans from China (google that if you dare!) Republicans are mean hearted bigots who want to force others to think and do as they want them to do. Republicans hate individuality. Republicans hate gay people. Republicans hate women's reproductive freedom. That's OK, the republicans are out very soon!!
