Alan: The above quotation is vintage Letterman,
lacerating American conservatives for their incorrigible dimwittedness.
In the main, the following list (forwarded to me by a right-wing friend) is antithetical to Letterman's world view.

#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.
Alan: The eagerness with which American conservatives argue from alarmism, misrepresentation, whole-cloth falsehood and reductio ad absurdem comprises a clinical picture that deserves new nomenclature.

#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.
Alan: "Taxes are the price we pay for civilization." Those "citizens" who fail to understand this undermine the survival of civilization.

#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
Alan: Since The National Lunacy began on 9/11, American conservatives have made more unhinged comments - and more often - than at any time in U.S. history.

#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 gets 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.
Abortion Falls To Its Lowest Rate Since Roe v. Wade
#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.
Alan: Among the greatest challenges of living in 21st century America is grappling with the aggressive ignorance and de novo inventions of ideologues who care naught for truth and less for perspective and proportion. The unhinged beliefs of most American conservatives obliges them to remake the world in their own false image.

#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.
And
#1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay $billions$ 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.
"U.S. oil production did peak in the 1970s and sank for decades after, exactly as the theory predicted. But then it did something the theory didn't predict: It started rising again in 2009, and hasn't stopped."
Under President Obama, U.S. oil production has reached unprecedented heights, toweringly higher than when oilmen Bush and Cheney were in office.
