When your friends can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick their reasons from this “Top 10″.

10. 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% or more isn’t.

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

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

7. 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.

6. 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.

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

4. I voted democratic because I think illegal aliens have a free right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

3. I voted democratic 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.

2. 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.

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

Well look who’s got a huge (no bid?) contract in Iraq…

KBR wins contract for work in Iraq

By BLOOMBERG NEWS

KBR has received its first contract for logistics services in Iraq under a new competitive bidding structure that ended its sole-source work, the Army said Tuesday.

Houston-based KBR won a one-year $571 million contract with four option years that, if exercised, could be as high as $2.8 billion, Army spokesman Dan Carlson said.

The contract calls for KBR to provide services including transportation and postal operations, he said in a statement.

KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root) is the former subsidiary of that eeeevil Halliburton, and is the company that was awarded those huge contracts during start of the 2003 Iraq offensives.  They’ve been around for some time, though. They also received contracts during WWII, Vietnam, post-Desert Storm, and I remember them being there with me in Kosovo too… but it was only under President Bush’s terms, there was outcry.

They’re the only company with the experience and man-power big enough to pull off the logistics that are requested by Uncle Sam, but when a Republican is in office, the libs cry-fowl – “Cheney!” “No bid contract!” “Evil big corporation!”

Will there by outcry this time?  Probably not. There wasn’t any under Johnson, or Clinton.. and what Party is Obama with? oh yes, that’s right…

From AP, via the Richmond Times Dispatch:

TABOR CITY, N.C.  — A sheriff says a North Carolina state senator shot one of two intruders at his home and hospital officials say the man is in fair condition.

Multiple media outlets reported that Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said that 74-year-old Sen. R.C. Soles of Tabor City shot Kyle Blackburn late Sunday afternoon.

A spokeswoman at Loris Community Hospital in South Carolina said Monday that Blackburn was in fair condition.

Batten says the shooting occurred when two men went to the senator’s house and tried to kick in his front door. No charges have been filed.

The sheriff’s office said the State Bureau of Investigation was handling the case. A call to an agency spokeswoman was not immediately returned. There was no answer at a number listed for Soles’ home.

The Democrat has been in the Senate 32 years.

Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician’s home county said.

The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties…

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.

“I am not in a position to talk to you,” Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in the middle of an investigation.”

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn’t hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the “Do As I Say And Not As I Do” Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

You right-wing aryan militia group member! Who do you think you are?! How dare you express dissent in your leaders!

What, do you think you live in a representative-republic, with with constitutional rights to free speech or something?  Psshh!

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, DEMOCRAT-Rhode Island: foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups.

Anyone else find the irony in Senator Whitehouse’s name, funny?

You know it’s funny, when a Republican is in office, dissent is patriotic.  When a Democrat is in office, it’s racist to oppose them.  Hypocrisy, thy middle name is Liberalism!
