Definition of most Republicans:
Able to make decisions w/o Gov interventions
Wants a smaller Gov, to stay out of their businesses and
homes
Makes decisions on how to raise their families and spend their
hard-earned money the way they want and not the way the Gov wants
Wants a well-trained volunteer Army and will spend as much as it
takes to afford military w/equipment and technology to to defend our Great
Nation, for without these values, the values most Liberal
Democrats set as priorities(gay rights, abortions, animal
rights, enviromental acts, eveyone should be able to do whatever they
wish, albeit tramples over their neighbor's right, etc...) means nothiung
if there is no Nation to defend!

republican
someone who's stupid enough to believe that god
wrote a book.
republicans are those appointed by god himself. they have to
tell
everyone that they aren't living thier life properly. belive the
way
they believe or you are a zellot,unamerican,communist. saying
that
you want government out of your lives, but having no
problem
telling doctors and scientists what they can and can't do
because
it's what "the invisible man" wants.
how would live your life
wthout that emotional crutch "the bible"
