The DU folks are more than just a LITTLE out of touch.
They say:
Republicans DO want to kill gays.
No, we don't. Frankly, as a conservative Republican I don't want to kill anyone and I don't care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home. It's not my business or the government's.

They [Republicans] do hate women and minorities.
No, we don't. We are the party that actually cares because we are the party that says Adam Smith had it right. People can make it & we believe that people do want to succeed. Conversely, the Dem's follow a plan that was called slavery about 150 years ago & today is called "social welfare" - i.e. - keep people poor enough that they can never move into your gated community & give them just enough to live until election day. (this last part is optional in Chicago)

They [Republicans] have killed over 1,000 US soldiers and brag about it (as Bush did to the UN this week).
No, we did not. Those soldiers were killed by the enemy - an enemy that the lunatic left gives comfort to when they protest this war & demand all troops home regardless of the costs. For the record, President Bush did NOT brag about anything. I saw the speech. Obviously, this DU person did not.

They [Republicans] have taken away overtime pay...
Actually, no we haven't. This is a clear indication that the DU person gets his/her/its news from the labor union "newsletter".

...any labor rights...
So, back to your union newsletter.... there seems to be plenty of labor rights here in IL where I live. You can't fire a poorly performing Civil Service Union employee where I work unless you give the 365 days notice. That's right, one year notice to fire someone.

...they [Republicans] want to stop people from filing lawsuits...
This is the worst kind of lie, one that just makes no sense. DU person, perhaps it may have dawned on you that a LOT of lawyers happen to be Republican. Why would they go along with that. I am sure that is how it was explained on the DU website, but here is the truth. Not all lawsuits are valid. Not all lawsuits advance the cause of justice. Some lawyers are actually kind of slimy people who are simply chasing a large cash settlement from a corporation. [HINT - See John Edwards]. These types of lawsuits must be stopped because they are bankrupting our economy, wasting the time of our courts, and forcing people like me to sign a stupid waiver just so I can go to the batting cage on the weekend. They have killed over 1,000 US soldiers and brag about it (as Bush did to the UN this week). They have taken away overtime pay, any labor rights, they want to stop people from filing lawsuits, etc.
