I am no fan of dems. They are pussies and do stupid things. However, there are reasons to vote for them. Real reasons.
Here are 10 reasons to vote democrat that make no mention of republicans
10) They support policies of consumer protection
9) They care about the rights of women
8) They support a progressive tax system which is the most realistic system
7) Supports Raising the minimum wage to a level that one can live off of and is closer to being kept up with inflation.
6) They support giving assistance to those who desperately need it
5) They make policies that result in real private job growth
4) Their policies have public approval in the polls (background checks, raising the minimum wage, higher taxes on the wealthy)
3) They support the rights of homosexuals
2) They support regulations on the market
1) They support real healthcare reform.
10) They just made a rule allowing chicken to be sent to China for processing. Consumers do not have to be notified that the meat they buy was processed in a country where safety regulations are poor. Monsanto has protection from lawsuits despite medical evidence showing that GMOs pose health hazards.
9) They completely ignore rights of women and children in Muslim countries and dictatorships. In America, they have reduced women to being talking vaginas, who only care about birth control and abortion.
8) They say they support a different tax system, but have yet to make any serious effort. They need their wealthy people as much as the next guy and talking about going after them is all lip service and nothing more.
7) They talk about raising minimum wage while ignoring the damage it will do.
6) Both parties believe in helping those truly in need. The Dems have gone further and created more needy by pushing a victimhood mentality and decreasing the opportunities by regulating small and middle class companies out of existence and over taxing the average person to support able-bodied people.
5) Record numbers of people are permanently out of the work force. The stats being put out are false. When there are less people looking for work, the numbers go down but it's not a positive. More people than ever are on welfare or disability. Many cited severe depression for being out of work so long as a disability. Obamacare has killed jobs and the constant addition of more regulations is strangling the private sector, not expanding it.
4) Recent polls show that the majority of Americans think we are headed in the wrong direction.
3) States should decide on gay marriage since the federal government has other tasks that don't include social issues. Obama claims to have evolved regarding gay marriage, but without his help, states have legalized gay marriage on their own.
2) Republicans support fair regulations on the market. It was Republicans who tried desperately to avoid the financial meltdown because of the housing bubble. It was Dems who fought them when they asked for tougher regulations and more oversight.
1) Obamacare is not real reform. It's a mess and was designed to be that way. Many Dems have already admitted that it was designed to fail so they could push for single payer. Considering the way that government has messed up Medicare, Social Security and everything else they touch, it would be a disaster to give them more responsibility.
So, if you want to hurry towards socialism, vote Democrat.
