"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BCE

I will vote Liberal because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my dog.
I will vote Liberal 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.
I will vote Liberal because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I will vote Liberal because Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I will vote Liberal because when we pull out of Afghanistan I trust that the bad guys will stop what they are doing because they now think we are good people..
I will vote Liberal 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 that break into my house.
I will vote Liberal 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.
I will vote Liberal because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we never have the death penalty.
I will vote Liberal because I think all refugees have a right to free health care, education, and Employment Insurance benefits.
I will vote Liberal 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 Liberals see fit.
I will vote Liberal because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite our laws every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
I will vote Liberal because my head is so firmly planted up my butt that it is unlikely I'll ever have another point of view.
Remember John Wayne saying:
"Life's tough - It's even tougher if you're stupid."

( 0 / 0 ) Mayor Gets Prison For Stealing Lingerie
PRESTON, England (UPI)
The mayor of a small coastal town in northern England has been sentenced to two years in prison for stealing women's underwear.
Ian Stafford, 59, mayor of Preesall and Knott End in Lancashire, pleaded guilty to four counts of breaking and entering, the Daily Mail reported.
"I feel deeply ashamed at the whole scenario because I have hurt people who have been excellent friends -- I could not wish for better," Stafford said. "I wish I had said something to someone earlier. I am not proud of any of this, I am sickened. I wish I could turn the clock back."
Stafford, a bachelor, worked as a handyman in Knott End-on-Sea, a small town on Morecambe Bay. He had keys to many of the houses in town.
Investigators say he was caught on videotape stripped to the waist, taking underwear out of drawers and using it for sexual acts. Police said they found more than $1,000 worth of lingerie in his home, some of it stored in bags labeled with the names of the original owners.
