    In many ways they are...

    When Obama wants to spend money we don't have.....Republicans tell him NO

    When Obama wants to violate our rights and spy on us.....Republicans tell him NO

    When Obama wants to target and harass certain citizens simply because they don't agree with him.....Republicans tell him NO

    Don't be fooled, Republicans are The Party of No.

    A party that says No to National healthcare, No to women's reproductive rights, No to equal pay, No to equal rights for samesex couples, No to food stamps....the list go's on.

    They have blocked or have tried to block

    Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas

    The Small Business Jobs Act

    The DREAM Act

    No

    The Democrats are the real "party of no." They say no to the 2nd amendment, letting a unborn child live, Freedom of Religion, and allowing Republicans to exercise their Free Speech rights that contain 0.0% hate.

    Democrats are the party seeking to tax and regulate every aspect our lives.

    The Republicans do indeed say No to that.
