Heres a sample of what it says...
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN"
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry......

Personally, I see two flaws of in this response.
It assumes that most republicans don't support these issues, and it pretends that today's liberals are fighting for noble things thus relating themselves to their predecessors.

All but $4 of my medications are paid for by my insurance.

I never saw it but it's pretty good to me. A lot of neocons don't realize that this country was founded by Liberals and most of our freedoms and way of life was a result of Liberal's actions. Yes I do relate my opposition to an illegal war today, defending against selling out Social Security, cleaning up the environment and conservation so we can be energy independent and slow down global warming to the protests of another illegal war and Civil Rights movement of my younger years, and my parents and grandparents union organizing and liberal solutions to the Conservative's Great Depression.

The poster gives the liberals more credit than is deserved.
Some conservatives were thoughtful enough to build a coffee pot factory, a pharmaceutical company, and farmed so we can ALL enjoy those benefits. These people also gave many liberals the opportunity to actually EARN a living instead of mooching off society while complaining they were not getting "their fair share".
Try starting your own business sometime. It's much easier to gripe about being screwed by corporate America than to actually make a successful business thanks to the liberals...
Additional comment:
Like only liberals are working to protect Americans? I've been a consumer for over 40 years, buying American whenever possible. Working my butt off to own a home, drive a decent car, and raise my children only to have some greedy dems tax the crap out of me to support those who have much less ambition. Loony-lefties are quick to attempt passing legislation which raises the costs of necessities and put that burden on all of us then blame the cons because costs are too high.
Child molesters and violent murderers should be promptly executed, not indefinitely supported at OUR expense, America's military might should be FEARED worldwide, and taxes should not be 35% of our wages.

I see the posters above me saying things like "They think they're the only one who care" but that's not the point so stop trying to push a straw man ut there to knock down, I haven't seen one of you REFUTE that it was the Liberals who got it done, and Today's liberal causes are still valiant, and you should thank us we're trying to hold the ground before more of your rights are taken away,
and Pat is wrong to assume that only cons build businesses, there are plenty of Liberal Farmers, Manufacturers, Service Providers, etc.

Why do you think Dems are the only ones who care about clean water & air? We drink the same water and breath the same air as them. Many companies are going broke and cutting back on hiring because of outdated unions and their unrealistic demands.

And your question seems to assume that the one individual who repeatedly posts this is speaking on behalf of all Democrats.
Stop blaming entire groups because you don't like what one individual says. Unless the entire group has authorized the person to speak on their behalf. That's not the case here.

Not as tired as I am of your ignorant misspelled conservative rantings. His answers at least have some argumentative thought behind them. You simply complain, and he makes a point. However I do appreciate the examples you give as a inarticulate conservative fool criticizing a well articulated liberal.

Republicans love their big business so they can screw the common worker (example they didn't make unions legal back then until Roosevelt came, thank god)

You forgot to mention that Joe has a job still...no thanks to our political system encouraging companies to flee the country for cheap labor.
