You’ll never see a summary like this in our crummy, biased, and dishonest national news media.

Received via private email today:

Why I voted Democrat...

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because When we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they are doing because they now think we are good people.

I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted 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.

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

I voted Democrat because I think ILLEGAL aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

I voted 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 the democrats see fit.

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

I voted Democrat because My head is so firmly planted up my ass that it is unlikely I'll ever have another point of view.

Add one:

I voted democrat because the GOP got took over by “pod people”, and even though Democrats ain’t always the sharpest tools in the shed, at least they are from this planet.

parsy, who switched to the Democrats but hasn’t actually voted for any of the bad ones.(Like Obama, Kerry)

Good job. I predict incoming flame from those that assume your mea culpa is for supporting Obama. Hopefully, they’ll read the last line.

I am well known for my dire warnings before the election and my constant criticism since.

Hopefully, I’ll lure a few of them in with the Mea Culpa and then hit them hard with the facts.

Keep that file active. By the time this dude is done with his destructive policies, you will have more than enough material to publish a nice book.

From you home page:

Give a Man a Fish, He Eats for a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, He Eats for a Lifetime .

If you talk to a starving man about fishing, you're a consultant...

Good read. Where in your paper is this posted? Probably just me, but I couldn’t find it on their website.

I write for a small hometown paper, the North Attleboro Free Press. This column will be published in the hard copy version today and delivered to everyone in the town. My website is www.therightangler.com. The North Attleboro Free Press website is a template website and I’m not sure when my columns get published there.
