Reply #13: Unfortunately, those statements aren't really stereotypes. [View All]

How many townhalls or protests did you see with people yelling about their freedoms being taken away? Ask them what freedoms they lost and they can't name one. I've got lots of friends and coworkers who are proud republicans and they really don't know that Medicare is "socialized" medicine. They do see it as their right. They want help when they, or someone in their family needs it but the hell with anyone else who needs help. They think the countrys troubles are caused by "illegals" and (the ones I know, at least) have a streak of racism a mile long...which is why they HATE Obama.

Unfortunately, many republicans share most of these characteristics.
