If I lived in America….let me see….I think I’d vote Republican. Hell that was only a joke. I sure hope Americans wake up and vote for the opposition and get those republicans into extinction.
I know too many people that can’t be bothered to vote because they think it doesn’t make a difference, or nobody is worth voting for. Just vote for the party that you find the least offensive.
Haha, you are a moron if you can only look at the pit falls of the side you are not on.
Didn’t you know thats always the campaign strategy for democrats? Twist the words of the guys that are right to justify doing something stupid to this country…
bad “article” is bad
People vote because it is the American way.
Zolicon
People vote because they falsely believe that politicians care about what they think.
This article would be so much better if it was not full of typos. I would love to Tweet and Digg it, but I don’t know if I can endorse this many mistakes regardless of the message.
I think the typos were deliberate as the Morans would be expecting them (and not see any errors).
Who still uses digg?
It’s kind of hard to take this article seriously when it has so many grammatical errors. Considering the photo you chose to accompany your diatribe, I think it’s just a touch ironic.
Vote Republican if you don’t believe in socialism.
Covered in Rule #1.
This article had me genuinely considering deeper implications of the statistics it was quoting.
Unfortunately, but the end, it was seething with such bias as to fall into the trap that so many do on “both ends of the political spectrum” (as if there are only two ways to classify how people think), where we just throw bombs and slant every argument to the point that only people who already agree with us will take us seriously.
I hope Mr. Olson will consider the value of a reasoned argument rather than inflammatory ones, akin to “vote Democratic if you enjoy butchering babies while still in the womb.” Many issues are complicated, with people of good conscience falling “on either side.” Attempting to over-simply issues and vilify those who fall outside of your over-simplified box solves nothing.
I don’t see how Republicans can be so keen about opposing Abortion but so much for Gun rights. If you defend life why endorse guns? I don’t personally agree with Abortion, but it just baffles me, then there’s the whole Christian issue and again Gun rights. Just because you are in one party doesn’t mean you have to agree with every issue. You have the freewill to think and decide for yourself rather than follow the Party so viciously. That’s what being a Democrat is, I don’t have to agree with everything Obama or my Party represents..
With abortion the fetus is completely defenseless. People support fire arms because it is in in the Constitution and are used for defensive purposes. I’m not saying that people don’t abuse guns, but there is always going to be abuse of anything. There are people in this country that want a handgun to protect their families, or want a rifle or shotgun to hunt their own game.
The Catholic Church is at least consistent: abortion bad, guns bad, war bad.
It’s only those “Christians” who can’t seem to actually read the red letters in their Bibles because they’re too stuck in Lev/Deut to care that have the cognitive dissonance.

The funny thing is that I’m out here in California, weighing whether to vote for Jerry Brown or Meg Whitman. Though I’m old enough to remember the disaster that was Brown’s first go around in office, I’ve been leaning toward voting for him. While Whitman would likely foster a more pro-business climate in a state that desperately needs jobs after having driven business away in large volumes, I find her to be cocky and either naive or intellectually dishonest about the realities of dealing with a legislature, whereas Brown seems to exhibit many signs of having learned from both his failures and his successes.
An attack ad by Whitman actually may have put me over the edge in voting for Brown. It was an interview with Brown where he was admitting that he lied about having a plan for California when he first ran for governor. His willingness to be intellectual honest with himself, and share that publicly for the sake of a cautionary tale for the public good won a great deal of respect from me.
Having said that, reading through the statistics above was serving to reinforce my inclination to consider voting Democratic today to counter the rampant intellectual dishonesty in the Republican party.
Ironically, your article only served to remind me of how rampant it is on the Democratic “side” as well.

Ok, you showed yourself as a dum dum… I don’t know you, but now I’m glad for that whereas before I didn’t care. You realize that the great Obama himself was the one who said it was his agenda on the ballot today… right? Yes, this is a referendum on his presidency, but you know what? America has had it brother… Had. It.
Vote Republican if…
a) You’re tired of someone taking your hard-earned money and giving it to someone who’d rather sit inside and watch TV all day than earn it themselves.
b) You’re enough of a big boy/girl to look out for your own retirement.
c) You hate the lies the democrats ran on in 2006 and again in 2008.
d) You are tired of spending money on projects which lose money… over and over and over again.
e) You agree immigration makes the USA a great place, but illegal immigration (and our government’s apparent support of it) dilutes the greatness those legal immigrants seek, drain our resources, and keeps the holes in the fence open where the drugs can cross without problems.
f) You remember that Hillary Clinton was the one who in raising funds for the 2008 D primaries took countless millions from abroad… sources unknnown.
g) You’re tired of the “hard-working” middle class becoming a lazy rabble with hands out waiting for government bailouts and welfare.
h) You would like to start a profit and actually make a profit without having said profit taken from you, or being called evil for making a profit.
i) You believe someone’s right to vote and have that vote counted is equally or more important than the rights of a gay couple wishing to marry.
j) You are aware that unions are now acting strictly in the interest of itself as an entity rather than its members, its community, or the industry it is involved with.
k) You know “Land of the Free” doesn’t mean freedom from incarceration, but the freedom to practice your religion, speak your mind, and pursue your dreams. Of course you’re also free to commit crime and pay the consequences.
l) You understand that while the market has its ups and downs (sometimes sharp ups and downs), over the long haul, the market always makes money. Investments made at $100 today might be worth $10,000 tomorrow, unless there is a crash along the way. Then your investment might be worth $8,900. You’ll have lost $1,100 in profit, but consider the initial investment. You know this would be good for “social” security.
m) You believe that the unemployment rate is now over 10%… up 2+ points since Obama took over, and 4+ points since the 111th (democrat-controlled) congress took over.
n) You understand that there is a difference between “healthcare” and “health insurance”, and while you may believe you’re entitled to both, you’re actually entitled to neither. You understand that “healthcare” refers to the quality of service, and the USA is at the top, attracting foreign heads of state to have procedures done here, rather than in their home country’s healthcare system. You understand that sponsored health insurance should be reserved for those Americans who contribute to industry and society, not suckle from it all the time.
o) You would like to have your comments read to the bottom without being removed by a dum dum blogger.
Thank you for your intelligent and calm reply to this inflammatory “article”. It is a shame most of the political debate takes the tone of this “article” instead of the tone of your reply.
that last reply by Your Favorite Republican should have been the original article. very well said bro!
You had me at ‘Socialism’. I will be voting Republican. The single most important change needed in our society is to stop forcing productive people to support the 30% of our society that just feel entitled to the benfits without the work. Benefits would include children, healthcare, food, etc.
30%? Are you smoking crack?
Back up your statements with some references, because right now I figure you’re just pulling figures out of your very misinformed ass.
I thought it was more like only 2% with those feelings—you know, all those Wall Street execs and just about every major CEO.
Vote democrat or republican if you are a sheep following the heard over a cliff.
Mike, agree with you 100%.
a) You’re tired of someone taking your hard-earned money and giving it to someone who’d rather sit inside and watch TV all day than earn it themselves.
82% of the deficit was republican spending.
d) You are tired of spending money on projects which lose money… over and over and over again.
82% of the deficit was republican spending.
k) You know “Land of the Free” doesn’t mean freedom from incarceration, but the freedom to practice your religion, speak your mind, and pursue your dreams. Of course you’re also free to commit crime and pay the consequences.
So you’re all for the “Ground Zero Mosque”, please tell all of the other republicans that freedom of religion is part of this country they seem to forget that.
m) You believe that the unemployment rate is now over 10%… up 2+ points since Obama took over, and 4+ points since the 111th (democrat-controlled) congress took over.
Vote Republican if you don’t know or care that more private sector jobs were created in 2010 than the net total under Bush/Cheney. I’m sure you think the 850,000 jobs lost in Jan 2009 were Obama’s policies.
n) You understand that there is a difference between “healthcare” and “health insurance”, and while you may believe you’re entitled to both, you’re actually entitled to neither. You understand that “healthcare” refers to the quality of service, and the USA is at the top, attracting foreign heads of state to have procedures done here, rather than in their home country’s healthcare system. You understand that sponsored health insurance should be reserved for those Americans who contribute to industry and society, not suckle from it all the time.
Good to know that you feel you’re fellow americans should die because they could not afford healthcare in this country. But you’re all for letting the very wealthy keep those billions in tax breaks. Very compassionate conservatism. More people die each month from not having access to healthcare than died in the 9/11 attacks.
Thank you, E, for posting this reply so I didn’t have to.

Democrat*
Pretty sure that was intentional…
I’d like to start this message by saying that I know noone’s perfect and I don’t have big issues with the USA… just a few small niggly ones…
@American’s – a lot of you really need to step back and just take a look at yourselves. As a whole your country is misguided. You’re one of the most charitable countries in the world but you’re so scared of being socialist that you won’t even help those who struggle in your own country!
You get too involved in things – like religion, elections (which are almost a religion in themselves now), patriotism etc. Alright so you love your country but do you not feel that perhaps its almost a religious indoctrination from a young age? You study the history of your country and learn the President’s off by heart but how much world history do you know? Speaking of the world, how the hell are your World Series competitions really World Series?!
Dem or Rep both suck, I would rather see Libertarians in office.
I agree with libertarians in every aspect except for economic policy. Regardless, I am so sorry that your Tea Parties were astroturfed by the social conservatives, and wish you the best of luck in getting a strong, independent third party more traction in the future. In an ideal world, we could have 4-7 strong parties in the US, including my favorite (the Greens), and people could vote their conscience with greater ease.
