Gay Rights? Ever hear of the log cabin republicans, or in the late 1970s Ronald Reagan wrote a response in his LA Herald-Examiner column to the organization backing the California Briggs Initiative, stating that he opposed the proposed ban on gay public school teachers. Reagan's daughter, Patti Davis, wrote an article in the New York Times where she recalled her father talking about Rock Hudson's homosexuality in an accepting and tolerant manner.
Anti Science? Because they seem to be more religious as a whole, many republicans believe in evolution, if that's where you're going.
Anti - Poor? You mean like the almost 21 million people out of work because of an administration that has other things on it's agenda and seems to have no answer for those poor people unemployed?
Anti-abortion, This is a talking point I don't share with the republicans, But there are other things as well.
It seems you are judging the republicans as a whole and they are all the same, sort of like how the KKK treats black people!

HAhahahaha.... geeze... do you realize that some of the things you said above are very very old? I am talking about modern republicans... and especially the current ones who are taking it up the ass by tea partiers.

Wow are you freaking kidding me? How come I know more about this than you do? Jobs are increasing in the US by about 200,000 every month. Compare that to how many jobs were lost (up to 800,00 jobs lost per month under George W Bush)
The republican house cut $40 Billion from the food stamp program:

Not true. Some republicans in the past have done some good things. Richard Nixon started the EPA for example, and George W Bush declared 140,000 square miles of ocean as a park called the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (or often Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument). So some republicans, even asshole republicans, can still do bits of good. Both are awesome things. I disagree with RON paul on a few things and he has some skeletons in his closet too but I wouldn't call him completely bad either.
