Food for thought:

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he/she wants all guns outlawed. 
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he/she wants all meat products banned for everyone. 
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him/her.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
