Why I'm not a Democrat [preview]
Here's why anyone would want to vote DEMOCRAT:
-because ENGLISH has no place being OFFICIAL in the U.S.
-because I'd rather pay $4/gallon for gas than drill offshore OUR coasts.
-because when we.....
This is an interesting article I found on one of my Facebook.com groups.I found this VERY interesting and decided to post it and share it. When the full article is releases during the Holidays,spread the word about what the Democrats really stand on the issues.
P.S. The Democrats' source for news,The Huffington Post is total B.S. and the founder,Arianna Huffington is very arrogant.

Why to NOT to re-elect Barack Obama in 2012: The tax hike.
NEW YORK/Hudson County,NJ NEWSROOM As many people know,Barack Obama has become the 1st African - American President of the US. What most people don't know is what he will do during these 3 years (2009-2012). According to the press,he is already preparing a HUGE tax increase. He needs $25 billion dollars from us to pay for some losers' health care. This means he is truly a tax-raising,hard core left Democrat. The GOP and the middle class are worried what the new administration is going to do. This is the worst thing he can do during a WORLDWIDE financial crisis. By 2018,far after he leaves office,it will cost the US $1 TRILLION DOLLARS, or $120 billion/year for life. I am hoping he meets with the GOP before he passes this extreme tax increase. The GOP only wants AFFORDABLE healthcare. If we give free healthcare,the US will go bankrupt!For the full article via Yahoo! News,click here. It's just common sense. What will happen to the health care companies? What will happen to those with health care already? Here's the answers: 1} Obama,Reid,and that idiot Pelosi, will probably drive them out of business 2}They will get taxed as this article says. What the tax-raising Democrats need to do is stop the bailouts for evey single company,then maybe you can make affordable health care available. By the way,if you are a Obama supporter,tell me one thing,what else is he gonna do in office? Anymore tax hikes? There better not be. According to a match up test,I will only agree with Barack Obama 28% out of 100% of the time. If he truly passes a plan that will make me to go to community college instead of a nice,big college,and one that will make me live on the streets,and make me have to sell things to make end's meet,then he will truly be a bad President.This is just one of the reasons why I'm not a Democrat. I will publish ALL the reasons very soon..I'm making a Christmas list full of reason why. List coming on Thanksgiving or Black Friday. A revised list will come out on Inauguration Day.

The Hot Ticket: Obama's inauguration
WASHINGTON Millions of people want to see the hottest ticket in the nation: Obama's inauguration on Jan. 20. State offices are reporting tons of calls for tickets. To get a ticket,contact you local state representative. (a State Senator or Representative,usu. in the State's Capital or largest cities). Hopefully,this is his ONLY inauguration and his last (see article Similarities between 1976 election and 2008 election below).. On Jan. 20,2013,don't expect him to be re-inaugurated. It may be excited to see an African-American be inaugurated,but remember,it's what he does that's important,not his race.
On the lighter side..........As a comedian recently said,We won't have to see crappy future movies about having an African-American president..they'll have to think of something new because now we have one for real.,E!'s Chelsea Lately.
