Five Simple Reasons to Vote Democrat!

1) Support our troops by bringing them home.

Do not let another soldier die in an out-of-control war, founded on lies, that is serving little more than to multiply our enemies and breed jihadists like roaches.

2) Stop funding terrorism and global armageddon!

We do not need to be giving ludicrous amounts of money to Islamic Fundamentalists who refer to us as The Infidel. Reduce our dependence on countries that are run by Extremists by supporting the party that will actually invest in alternatives to the fossil fuel we obtain from them. I can not stress how important this is. Alternative energy should be the number one issue right now, for other obvious reasons as well (watch "An Inconvenient Truth," about the apocalyptic dangers of global warming and its link to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, if you have not already! These are not Biblical end times, these are end times that we are bringing upon ourselves in a very real way).




3) Prevent a return to the Dark Ages.

Do not let radical ideologies stand in the way of scientific progress that benefits us all. Do not be fooled about stem cell research! The so-called Religious Right has tried to make this into a moral issue, but you know what? They know the truth and they are counting on the fact that you do not. This is a political issue that has been invented to polarize us. This is not a question of science fiction worthy baby farms. The method called nuclear transfer technique involves an unfertilized egg (the kind that a woman loses each month when she menstruates!) with a different nucleus injected into it. And the 5-day-old blastocysts used in the in vitro method are excess fertilized eggs that have been taken from fertility clinics, where they would otherwise be discarded! Do you know someone who has heart disease? Diabetes? Parkinson's disease? Cancer? AIDS? Why deny them the right to a cure?

4) Show the rest of the world that we are not as stupid as we've made ourselves look in the last six years.

This is a popular video that's been circling the internet. Gosh, I don't know... Does it seem like maybe we need to STOP MAKING CUTS TO EDUCATION so that we can fund 177-million-dollar-a-day wars?



5) Think of your children, and your children's children.

What sort of world do you want to provide them with? What do you want them to see on the news 20 years from now? What sort of air do you want them to breathe? What resources do you want them to have at their disposal? What opportunities? Support the party with a vision for the future that is more far-reaching than the immediate material gain of the privileged few.
