Richard Said essentially the same thing in an earlier post. Incidentally it seems my posts doesn't go through _sparkscoffee@freelists.org_ (mailto:sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) any more but does go through _aranet@freelists.org_ (mailto:aranet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) , and _dmarc-noreply@f_ (mailto:dmarc-noreply@f) ... as a reply??? Dont know why but mentioned it to RonG. Only 16 members on sparkscoffee, fewer are listenning to us? Any comments from anyone? CB In a message dated 5/1/2014 9:26:34 A.M.

It's a satirical take-off (and not a very funny one at that) of a David Letterman-style Top 10 list. Why not have the subject line read "Ron Ristad - Why I Vote Democratic"? It would have exactly the same degree of authenticity and it wouldn't be any less humorous. Back to the Ignore List for you-know-who. 73, Richard Freedland Miami Sent from my iPad.

I've decided to marry my German Shepherd. #9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn't. #8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would. #7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. #6. I vote 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. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion. #5. I vote Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy and get sex change operations if they want one on the tax payers dime. #4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it. #3. I vote 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 Democrat Party sees fit. #2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters. #1. And, the #1 reason I vote Democrat is: because I think it's better to pay billions of U. S. dollars for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish here in America. We don't care about the beetles, gophers or fish in those other countries. .... =
