From their point of view, having all your needs and wants paid for by someone else

IS

individual freedom and liberty.

I couldn’t make it through the whole thing. From what I heard, they’re democrats because they don’t excel in critical thinking.

Why I’m a Democrat — Because I like feeling rather than thinking. It’s soooo much easier.

When you hold the exact same opinion as every other leftist, you’re a “free thinker”,

but if you dissent, you’re a conformist conservative.

Iowahawk, as usual, summed it up nicely:

We're democrats because we hope that Obamacare will fix our nasty complexions for free.

“they are a parody of human beings”

Well said.

They are democrats because they are:

Men who have never done anything masculine

Women who get angry when someone opens a door for them

College kids who have probably never worked a day in their life

Met at the local Starbucks to discuss shooting a video of mindless slogans they like to repeat over and over

The one who said, “... because the government should take care of its citizens,” was the most reasonable. She doesn’t quite understand that the government has to be funded by its citizens, but there is some naive and endearing substance to this, like a child expecting that Mommy and Daddy will always provide no matter what.

Proves that the Democrat Party is just a group of unrelated minorities whose only connection is that they hate what they define as Republicans.

Read no further than post 3 as it nails the issue.

Why I'm a Democrat: Because "other people" still have money in their pockets.

I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God's heavenly country club.

Santa Claus is another matter. He's cute. He's nonthreatening. He's always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who's been naughty and who's been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without the thought of quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he's famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus.

Your?

Sounds like "You're" which would be correct in this case.

I kept waiting to see if there would be one healthy looking person on this video. Nothing but pasty, soft and pimpled young people.

What was that fat chick with the greasy skin talking about?

"I am a Democrat because my grandfather was the first in his family to graduate preschool. Then he was the first in his family to graduate high school. Then he was the first in his family to graduate college. And he was Italian. And he was a lawyer. And he lived in Delaware. And when he was done, he told me that being a lawyer is the same as being a janitor. And that's what my party's about."

To quote Felix Unger, "Murray, I don't have time to unravel your logic."

I laughed at the guy who said the Democrat party is for civil rights. Poor kid doesn't know the history of the Democrat party very well. The Democrat party is all about repression. Maybe someday he will see the light.

And what was with that guy who said he's a Democrat because he's a Christian? Was Jesus pro-abortion? Did Jesus advocate for the government to over-tax the citizenry? Was Jesus all about big government regulating more and more of people's lives and taking freedoms away? Somehow I don't think so. In fact I believe that if He were here on the earth, Jesus would clean out Washington D.C. just as He cleansed the temple in Jerusalem.

I'm a Democrat because we're the party of civil rights.

Oh PLEASE! The party of the founding of the KKK.

I'm a Democrat because I believe through government we can come together and do what we cant do individually.

Founding Fathers are now shaking their heads, wondering where they went wrong with this young man.

Because America is a Democracy and not a theocracy

We're a constitutional Republic, not a Democracy, you college educated dork.

We know that, you know, programs that Democrats support help people, they really help people.

Deluded. Like the stimulus program?

I'm a Democratc because I believe in investing in innovation.

No. You believe in spending wildly and recklessly.

Obama trips promote profits for his donors, not jobs for Americans

7 years of college down the drain. -Bluto Blutarsky
