Why I Am Voting Liberal (tongue in cheek)

WHY I AM VOTING LIBERAL

I’m voting Liberal because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I’m voting Liberal because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

I’m voting Liberal because when we pull out of Afghanistan I trust that the bad guys will stop what they’re doing because they now think we’re good people.

I’m voting Liberal 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’m voting Liberal because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep inmates who should be on death row, alive.

I’m voting Liberal 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 THEY see fit.

I’m voting Liberal because I believe Liberal judges need to interpret the Constitution to suit fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.

I’m voting Liberal because I believe that illegal refugees and government give-aways to foreigners is a great way to grow a nation.

I’m voting Liberal 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’m voting Liberal because I love the fact that I can now marry who and whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my turtle.

I’m voting Liberal because I believe oil companies’ profits of 10% on a litre of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same litre of gas at 50% plus a carbon tax of another 20% isn’t.

I’m voting Liberal because I’m such a pinhead it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.

    I’m voting Liberal because my shrink told me that it has been very cathartic for me to find a group that is more screwed up than I am.

    “I’m voting Liberal because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.”

    Interesting – current “conservative” gov’t highest program spending in Canadian history.

    “I’m voting Liberal because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.”

    So… wonder why Harper and COnservatives sue every time someone says something they don’t like?

    “I’m voting Liberal 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.”

    Is this the kind of anti-science junk that your party stands for? I thought Baird and Harper BOTH said man-made climate change is real and serious. Is this the case or are they lying?

    “I’m voting Liberal because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep inmates who should be on death row, alive.”

    Again, new that this Harper government will re-introduce capital punishment and ban abortion will be interesting to the population at large. Do you have this on authority of a gov’t representative? They have consistenly denied this, but thanks for setting us all straight.

    “I’m voting Liberal 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 THEY see fit.”

    Don’t know if there are more than 2 “businessmen” in the entire Tory caucus. Your “leading lights” like Pierre Poilievre, Jason Kenney and even the PM never worked in business.

    “I’m voting Liberal because I love the fact that I can now marry who and whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my turtle.”

    Again, I thought the Harper gov’t had no intention of re-introducing legislation to ban gay marriage, or once again, are they lying?

    “I’m voting Liberal because I’m such a pinhead it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.”

    Well you seem to be very willing to support a government that is either lying about some major issues you purport to care about or is doing exactly the opposite of what you claim to believe in.

    Gee… I guess you are such a pinhead….

    hey torywatcher, you apply more spin than Rafael Nadal on a forehand smash. You should apply for a job as a liberal strategist. You do a better job than most of those they prop up on MDL.

    Not interested, but thanks, Bluebeard. Not actually spin, but rather spin correction.

    Have a good day and enjoy the Olympics.

    torywatcher…this is absolute spin:
    Again, I thought the Harper gov’t had no intention of re-introducing legislation to ban gay marriage, or once again, are they lying?

    Typical Lib-spin.Tell us what PMSH did to ban gay marriage.

    “Again, new that this Harper government will re-introduce capital punishment and ban abortion will be interesting to the population at large. Do you have this on authority of a gov’t representative? They have consistenly denied this, but thanks for setting us all straight. ”

    Real spin…it was under the Libs that abortion laws were taken out.Libs are responsible for the murders.
    That fact has nothing to do with the present CPC government.See how Libs spin?

    and this:
