From Dick, followed by my own comments.

This came to me from a very good friend of mine in California.  I pass it on for its value as potential humor.

Top 12 Reasons to Vote Democrat 1. I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd. 2. 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. 3. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. 4. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. 5. 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. 7. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive. 8. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it. 9. I voted Democrat because I believe that businesses 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. 10. 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. 11. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay billions for their oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish. 12. 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.

Actually I believe the word is Democratic, unless you're a Republic. 

The problem with this sort of "humor" is that many folks believe it.  The reasons they believe it is because:

1.  It's repeated over and over and never challenged. 

 

2.  It's so simple that even the simplest minds can grapple with it. 

 

3.  It fits into the campaign snippets of ten seconds or less.  That is the length of most Republic's concentration. 

 

4.  It fits right into the old adage, "Don't confuse me with facts.  My mind's made up". 

 

5.  Finally, the only way the Republic knows where someone else's head is, is because that's where his/hers is. 

 

Other than that, it's a real hoot.
