MY DAD BLOWS ANOTHER GASKET- another great response to a neocon

Edited on Sat Aug-02-08 08:22 PM by powergirl

You may remember about a month ago, my dad blew a major one - after some morans (sic) send him a ridiculous neocon email. Well, they haven't learned their lesson. To recap, my dad, Phillip, a white guy, about 72 years old, native Texan, went to segregated schools in the south, former army, and a Republican not too long ago is voting for OBAMA. He wants to make things right in this country and hopefully help remove the stain of racism on our country. This, of course, has his neocon colleagues all in a dither. He received, in his words, a "smart ass" email from one of them. It is below. My Dad's responses are in ALL CAPS. Enjoy

I'm voting Democrat because:
I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earned and saved than I would.

NOT REALLY. I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SPEND $150,000,000,000 A YEAR ON A WAR THAT AT LEAST 60% OF AMERICANS WANT TO STOP. NO WORRIES, MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL PAY THE BILL -- TO THE CHINESE.

I'm voting Democrat because:
Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO AUTHORIZE THE NSA AND THE PHONE COMPANIES TO LISTEN TO MY PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITHOUT A WARRANT. WHO COULD BE OFFENDED?

I'm voting Democrat because:
When we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they suddenly think we're good people.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE SENATOR MCCAIN NEVER WANTS TO LEAVE IRAQ. MAYBE MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL GET THE CHANCE TO SEE BAGHDAD -- IN UNIFORM.

I'm voting Democrat because:
I believe that people who CAN'T tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO WE CAN WAIT TO SEE IF IT WILL REALLY HAPPENS. MAYBE THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE, BUT WHAT THE HELL? WHAT'S GOOD FOR GM IS GOOD FOR AMERICA, RIGHT?

I'm voting Democrat because:
I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO WE CAN GET MORE JUSTICES ON THE SUPREME COURT THAT WILL STEER US BACK INTO THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHO NEEDS THE CONSTITUTION WHEN WE HAVE A BIBLE?

I'm voting Democrat because:
I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as IT sees fit.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO GOOD REPUBLICAN CEO'S CAN CONTINUE TO RAPE AND PILLAGE THE CORPORATIONS THAT MAKE UP OUR RETIREMENT PORTFOLIOS.

I'm voting Democrat because:
I believe three or four pointy headed elitist liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe organization kooks who could NEVER get their agendas past the voters.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN SO WE CAN GET MORE JUDGES THAT WILL PUT THE FRINGE GROUPS IN THEIR PLACES -- ON THE FRINGE. AFTER ALL, I AM NOT A MEMBER OF A FRINGE GROUP -- AM I?

I'm voting Democrat because:
I believe that when the terrorists don't have to hide from us over there, and when they come over here I don't want to have any guns in the house to fight them off.

NOT REALLY. I'LL VOTE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE THEY WILL ROOT OUT THE TERRORISTS OVER HERE, EVEN IF THEY MAKE A MISTAKE NOW AND THEN. WHAT THE HELL DOES /HABEAS CORPUS/ MEAN ANYWAY? SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A POINTY-HEADED ELITIST LIBERAL JUDGE WOULD SAY. HERE'S ANOTHER GOOD LATIN WEIRD SAYING: NON SEQUITUR.
