I like a page called We survived Bush. You will survive Obama and a troll named o lets call him Dirt' N Salads posted the following

Dirt' N Salads
You all are sorely misguided, misinformed and delusional
about the whole political process. I only hope enough of
you wake up in time to realize this before it's too late.
Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same
coin- doesn't matter which side lands up, it just determines
who will start the game first.

The Creator of the page reply with the following
And you hope to change minds by calling people
misguided, misinformed and delusional without
offering any facts? Sounds to me that you are
the delusional one who is unable to make a
coherent argument.

Want to be an asshole? Feel free but bring your
A-game, chump.

And after a couple of hours of Dirt not replying, they added this
That's what I thought, you have nothing to say. Allow me to explain
just a few of the multitude of ways Democrats and Republicans are
different. One party believes in treating women as human beings with
full rights over their own bodies. We aren't interested in legislating the
vagina, unlike the GOP. Republicans in Michigan just introduced
transvaginal ultrasounds if women want an abortion. It is a method meant
to humiliate women. The parties are the same, you say?

Democrats are in favor of equal rights for homosexuals. We don't question
the love of one individual for another. We don't question the sanctity because
we don't attempt to enforce our own religious beliefs on others. That's a big
difference you might make note of for your next big night on Facebook attempting
to insult people, whilst catastrophically failing.

It's no secret President Obama carried the African American vote by 97% , and
that Republicans have a wildly popular 20% (on a good day) approval rating by
Hispanics. Why are they so liked? Could it be that the GOP has spent decades
demonizing these Americans as "the other" simply because their skin is a different color?

We weren't even able to get into all of the differences on healthcare and a social
services. Alas, I doubt you had the attention span to read this anyway. Am I wrong?

No sir, the parties are not the same. We are not misguided, ignorant, or delusional.
There is a real culture war going on in America, where one side is pushing us back
to the dark ages where minorities are second class citizens and women are in the
kitchen barefoot, ignorant, and pregnant and the other side pleads for sanity and reason.

Which side are you on?

I Personally think it is a wonderful explanation as to the difference between the two parties and honestly if anyone can not see the difference, they need to be forced into a mental examination because they are not the bright and could possible do something to harm themselves or others in the future.
