Video: “I’m voting Republican”
posted at 6:19 pm on June 11, 2008 by Allahpundit
In the grand spirit of bipartisanship I offer this spank material to our three lefty readers. Combining the subtlety of that Republican Space Rangers cartoon from Grand Theft Auto IV with the evenhandedness of an average episode of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, it will, I trust, “get the job done.” Exit question for Paulnuts: Does this work for you too or is it borderline, like some sort of fetish video?

Awful.
I guess this means I am not one of the phantom liberal readers of which you speak.

I’m voting Republican too!
Hoo Yah!!!!!!!!

Spank it if you got it, Dems.
Cuz this crap will cut just as harshly going the other way.

I’m voting for Obama because it will prove that I’m not a racist, and anyway, it’s a black guy’s turn!

AZCoyote on June 11, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Obama is enough reason to vote for McCain for me. But if I had any doubts there is none now. Straight Republican ticket for me. Now excuse me while I go and club some baby seals.

Proof that simply being a libtard doesn’t make you a good actor.
MikeZero on June 11, 2008 at 6:26 PM
The forgot to put “I’m voting Republican because I want some poor illegal SOB from Mexico to cut my lawn.”
SPCOlympics on June 11, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Yep, us Republicans want our kids uneducated, dirty water, unclean environment, we want our kids killed in war, we want old people to suffer, yeah, we want our kids and grandkids to suffer because we don’t care about our families…every election the same old thing, the Republicans want their kids and neighbors to suffer.

I wonder how many registered independents comment on this site? Perhaps well never know…..If only Allah had mind reading powers
SoCalInfidel on June 11, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Republicans are the party of fear?
jukin on June 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Let’s how Mr. Honorable McCandidate does marketing: Let your opponents define you and your issues. Accept all their premises and assure your base that you have a new, mavericky way to lead the country. And of course, if your own side tries to elect a Republican, you loudly denounce that effort, oh yes.
RushBaby on June 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM
At least one.
AZCoyote on June 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Heh. Pretty funny.
I’m voting Democrat because I want to be able to have sex with whatever animal I want, dead or alive.
I’m voting Democrat because I want my wife raped and my child murdered, by the same guy who did that to another family and got released after he was rehabilitated.
I’m voting Democrat because I liked 9-11, and want it to happen again and again.
I’m voting Democrat because I don’t want to make any decisions. I want to be told how to live.
Ahh. too easy.
VolMagic on June 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM
When I was in elementary school 30 years ago, there were around 30 kids in all my classes. We did just fine. I don’t feel my education was negatively impacted at all by having that many kids in the class. I think it’s a ploy by teacher’s unions to create more jobs.

SoCalInfidel on June 11, 2008 at 6:31 PM
There is a simple reason for this very tired cliche. If you can’t convince the people directly of the benefits of socialism (which the left can’t, it’s a loser for them and they know it), than portray the alternative as something evil.
NotCoach on June 11, 2008 at 6:31 PM
After McCains recent statements, I’d say almost everyone here, except those three lefties, is a defacto independent.
SPCOlympics on June 11, 2008 at 6:32 PM
I’m voting Democrat so that I can be subjected to more inane and Satanic videos just like this one.

pullingmyhairout on June 11, 2008 at 6:32 PM
I believe you are wrong. I suspect that Barry Obama will be the last closet socialist the left runs. I think many Americans are ripe for socialism’s promises. Most people have to learn from their own mistakes, if they’re able to learn at all.
JiangxiDad on June 11, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Not being able to vote in the Republican party primary is a good reason not to register independent.
JiangxiDad on June 11, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Does anyone else here read these blogs all day and get stressed out and think about the things going on in this country all day and night and get scared? as if we dont have enough stress going on in our lives already. I think blogs are a good thing because they keep everyone informed and they give everyone an outlet to voice their opinion but they can also be harmful because they can stress people out because they can see their country going down the tubes…or maybe im just crazy…im pouring another cup of coffe and going to huffington post to make fun of the lib’s…that always makes me feel better
SoCalInfidel on June 11, 2008 at 6:35 PM
I think it’s dumb. And an example of how poor mainstream political debate is.

That’s exactly what this is. Fear mongering and lies. But their response? ‘why, this was just a joke. What’s the matter, cant take a joke, huh neocon?’
wise_man on June 11, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Is this what lefties really think conservatives…no wait, republicans really believe? That video IS a joke, right, made by conservatives to make fun of lefties? Please say it is – lefties are generally insane but they CAN’T be THAT stupid.
splink on June 11, 2008 at 6:46 PM
I believe most Americans are inclined to reject socialism then to embrace it which is why the Democratic message is always about justice and never about their actual policy unless also wrapped in the veneer of social justice.

I’m voting Democrat because I think it should be illegal to feed ducks at the pond, or any animal anywhere on your property.

I’m voting Democrat because spending tax money on our national defense is just plain silly. Nobody really wants to hurt us.
I’m voting Democrat because I would much rather sit on my ass collecting welfare than get up off the couch and get a job.
I’m voting Democrat because I lied through my teeth on my mortgage application and I want a great big hand-out from the government to pay down my upside-down mortgage so I can keep on living in this house I could never afford.
I’m voting Democrat because I really want to wait 3 to 6 months to get a cat scan of my brain tumor.

Im voting Democrat so that Hannity can be replaced by Keith Olbermann.
My collie says:
CyberCipher on June 11, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Hit and miss. I’m with the video-makers on the government defining and controling marriage. I’m with the caricatures in the video with regard to letting the free market do its thing (health care, food, water, corporations, energy). I’m with the video-makers on the Constitution being a “headache.” And a lot of the other positions are misrepresentations, so those just make the video-makers look silly.
It’s a typically incongruous mix of anti-Capitalist points (with which I disagree) and pro-individual rights points (with which I agree). So, standard “liberal” fare: motivated not by principles, but by pragmatism. As with the neocons, I have some overlap with them, but we lack a common base of principles, so I find it hard to cheer too loudly when their pragmatism happens to settle on a moral position. After all, if the data changed, their position could change — so it’s not so much agreement as temporary cohabitation of a position on a particular topic.
Mark Jaquith on June 11, 2008 at 7:09 PM
Your collie sure talks alot….doesnt that get annoying at home?
SoCalInfidel on June 11, 2008 at 7:09 PM
This is just a small part of the endless flow of mindless crap that emanates from the brain dead left. It’s so ridiculous that only a liberal fool would believe it
rplat on June 11, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Wow, I’ve never seen anything more disgusting in my life. That ad has just blew passed the limits of shame. Fine, they started it… I’m voting democrat because I’m an idiot and I like believing any lie I’m told. I’m voting democrat because I like being spoon fed everything in my life and don’t feel that I can control anything in my life at all. I’m not capable of earning anything myself and I like to share that misery with everyone. I’m voting democrat because I enjoy paying high taxes for little service. As a democrat, I feel that we need larger government, but I’m going to damn the govt. every chance I get. I’m voting democrat because I believe in equality, just some people need to be more equal than others. I’m voting democrat because I believe in being as hypocritical as humanly possible. Most importantly, I’m voting democrat because I believe in hope and change… what ever that is.
Tuari on June 11, 2008 at 7:14 PM
I’m voting Democrat so that the Wyoming Cowboys will be free to “come out of the closet.” Sorta’ like when the Stanford Indians turned into Cardinal red, and replaced their mascot with a tree.

We had passed a prop and once were able to vote for whomever in the primaries. Then it got stopped. Now, in the primaries independents must vote for their party but in the general can vote for whomever. No force on earth will drive me to register for any of the two, as I find them both extreme, at least in today’s versions. To be sure the D one is out of the question for having been born in Marxism. No. Way. Ever!!!
Entelechy on June 11, 2008 at 7:18 PM
I imagine its something not too unlike this.
wise_man on June 11, 2008 at 7:23 PM
I like closed primaries. There’s something unseemly about non-party memebers choosing the nominees of a party. Freedom of association I say.
seanhackbarth on June 11, 2008 at 7:24 PM
The Democrats do not care what Europeans think.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Yes. Operation Chaos was a disgrace. Ditto lefties voting for McCain.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:26 PM
No, the Democrats predate Marxism. Marx wrote contemporaneously about the American civil war and he was, of course, supportive of the Republians and emancipation.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:29 PM
Citation needed.
Where did that happen. Links to reputable news outlets would be appreciated.
wise_man on June 11, 2008 at 7:29 PM
Unless you mean Marxism not as being defined by Marx but a fundamental way of thinking. Socialism and slavery are similar in some respects.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:31 PM
LOL. Sharia!
funky chicken on June 11, 2008 at 7:33 PM
You mean lefties voting for McCain? I’m not sure it did happen. It was a theory floated by lots of columnists a few months that open primaries would mean left-leaning/centrist voters would vote McCain in Republican primaries.
Feel free to totally disregard that statement. I only stuck it in so people wouldn’t think I was picking on Rush/Republicans unfairly. I probably shouldn’t have as it actually sounds anti-McCain and distracts from the point of my comment.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:34 PM
I’m voting Republican because I produce giant paper-mache heads and without a Republican POTUS to gin-up anti everything marches, how will I stay in business?
Bishop on June 11, 2008 at 7:35 PM
On second thought, I will vote democrat because I want to outlaw military recruiting offices and make William Ayers Defense Secretary.
Bishop on June 11, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Hahaha! Don’t worry the Democrats will subsidise the failing paper-mache industry.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 7:39 PM
Hey, I totally see how the democrats will win 40% of the evangelical vote now.
Keep it up guys!
funky chicken on June 11, 2008 at 7:41 PM
Hey, that’s a winner!
funky chicken on June 11, 2008 at 7:41 PM
I’m voting Democratic because even if a hopped up crackhead breaks into my house to steal my TV, I don’t really need a gun.
I’m voting Democratic because I want free health care. I won’t care if the doctor tells me I have four months to live unless I get a treatment for which there is a nine month waiting list because it’s free!
I’m voting Democratic because I’m just not paying enough in taxes.
Kafir on June 11, 2008 at 7:43 PM
Here’s the script for a rebuttal:
“I’m voting Democrat because…”
“I like wait two hours to buy gas.”
“I’m too dumb to handle a private social security account.”
“I think judges should have to the power to amend the Constitution.”
“My publicist told me it’d be good for my image.”
“I believe all the best policies were thought up in the 1930’s.”
“I want the terrorists to have the same rights we have… including the right to make private phone calls to their co-conspirators.”
“Filling out my tax forms isn’t challenging enough.”
“Who better to ration my healthcare than the federal government. It‘s not like they have more important things to do.”
“National borders are so last year.”
“I don’t mind paying $5 a gallon for gas as long as a place no one ever goes to never changes.”
“I think the federal government spends too much money on our military and not enough on feces art.”
“I don’t care about taxes, my mommy and daddy pays those.”
“I’m intrigued by the idea of an international Caliphate.”
…and so on.
Spolitics on June 11, 2008 at 7:52 PM
OK, I lasted 1:31 min. Is that the record? What a joke. The opposition can’t just be wrong on issues. We can’t just disagree on solutions to difficult problems. No, they have to be stupid, malevolent and evil. And according to Dicky Durbin(spit) damned too.
Sefton on June 11, 2008 at 7:55 PM
I’m voting democrat because I want to pay at least $7.00 for a gallon of gas.

Oh, I meant Him.
Sefton on June 11, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Heh. They don’t care what the U.N. thinks either.
I know. See paren., above. Sorry for ‘eating’ a word.
Copied just to say that I agree on socialism, though for sure we know the worst of the two. But socialism/Marxism do shackle us in many ways, and the latter is totalitarian and enslaves/kills, literally, millions.
Entelechy on June 11, 2008 at 8:05 PM
I’m voting democrat because this rap artist that I think is really cool said I should, and considering that he was grabbing his crotch the entire time and referring to people as “bitches” made it just so real for me.
Cuz I, like, really think the environment and stuff is important and we need to save it and stuff. Ya know?
Bishop on June 11, 2008 at 8:08 PM
I’m voting Democrat because I’m sick and tired of my incandescent light bulbs, the notion of earning my keep, and this whole “diversity of opinion” nonsense.
ZK on June 11, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Oh…my bad. It must be the mouth-breathing, brain-dead, hate America SmAKTards they pander to…Let me restate:
I’m voting Democrat because they stand for nothing, believe in nothing, and will swing which ever way the daily Hor$e*hit polls are pointing.
BigWyo on June 11, 2008 at 8:15 PM
No argument here.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 8:20 PM
I think that the two biggest myths about the Democrats is that they are the anti-war party and that they care one whit what Europeans think. Okay if you’re an EU Commissioner or the Prime Minister of Sweden then yeah the Democrats might listen to you but thats it.
When Bill Clinton decided he wanted to bomb a European country on behalf of multiculturalism and the prerogative of “enforcing multi-ethnic states in Europe” (Gen. Wesley Clark) he didn’t so much as consult the UN let alone seek any kind of UN approval.
Ah, I understand.
Marx talked about freeing people from their shackles and I think his very real despair over the slavery he observed when travelling in America must have made a significant mark on his thinking.
The reason I conflated the two is because of the Biblical command from Genesis that Abraham Lincoln used to quote to his political opponents:
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread.
This exact same argument could be used to oppose Communism.
aengus on June 11, 2008 at 8:37 PM
This format would be very easy to rip off, anyone with a camera and a few friends could do it.
doubleplusundead on June 11, 2008 at 8:38 PM
aengus, remember when the lefties loved Bill Clinton, in spite of his pragmatism/centrism? They’ve thrown him under the bus a while ago.
Kerry cares about Europe and the U.N.
Obama cares more about the rest of the world, including Europe and the U.N. than he does about anything else. To them it’s how much we are ‘loved/like’, not how much we s/b respected/feared. I prefer the latter.
Entelechy on June 11, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Liked, darn it…
Entelechy on June 11, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Regarding my above statement:
Was Karl Marx the original RINO? Irony abounds.
