I would rather prefer that the Government beats up the gangs of New York than the gangs of New York beat me up.

In this survey, it is shown that Republicans hate the Government, in fact Republicans believed that the Government is a threat to individual rights. If Republicans consider Government a threat to individual rights, not one of them should be in the Government. They have no business being there. Survey said Democrats protect our individual rights. Let's just then elect Democrats and have a Democrat Government.

Republicans are like the gangs of New York. Without Government that they hate, they would rather have the gangs of New York beat you up. Kapis?
