She went into a rather detailed explanation of what she thought ..and in the end the daughter summed it up

"democrats want everybody to share and do what they want to do"

"republicans want to tell people how to do stuff and to keep them from having fun..and want to keep all the money for themselves"

kind of says it alll..in a nutshell

5. Dems are for actual human beings, repugs are for non-living entities, like businesses and war.
Your friend is raising one smart kid.
