Here's a Hint

So, the other day on Facebook, I saw where a friend had shared the following picture:



Below it, one of his friends made the comment:
Communism? Who is a communist in the Democratic party? Who lined up to vote against work laws for veterans ? Murderers and rapists? Who has repeatedly struck down death penalty laws? Who repeatedly votes against women's rights ? Who has been exposed for hiring illegals for personal work? What party has billionaires that own or bought electronic voting machines around the country? Like you always say [name redacted] give us FACTS NOT words. Your post wreaks of propaganda.

 Thank you for asking! Lets take it one part at a time...


Communism? Who is a communist in the Democratic party? 
To be fair, nobody in the current Democrat party is also part of the Communist Party USA. However, that does not mean that the two do not share the same political ideals and values.  Here's a short list -
Barrack Obama
Barbara Boxer
Dick Durbin
Al Franken
Elizabeth Warren

Who lined up to vote against work laws for veterans ? Murderers and rapists? 
Do you reference the Hire More Heroes Act of March, 2014? (which passed 406-1)
Maybe you are referencing seven different benefits bills that Republicans shot down because they were really designed to overwhelm the VA and other veterans benefits administration departments.
 
Who has repeatedly struck down death penalty laws? 
As a Libertarian writing this, you have found the singular point where there might be a reasonable argument. Democrats in general do not fight against the death penalty, save a small fraction. 
That said, I could only find a single bill proposed by Democrats on a national level that was designed to defang the death penalty. That's weak if you are using this as a cornerstone argument.

Who repeatedly votes against women's rights? 
To all my research, I could only find a couple of instances where women's rights were being voted on.
19th Amendment - Eight Republicans and 17 Democrats voted against the Amendment in the Senate. Oh, by the way, for forty years, Democrats had voted down the Amendment or blocked it via committee.  And of the nine states that voted against ratification, eight had Democrat controlled legislatures.
Equal Pay Act of 1963 - All of the "Nays" and 45 more "present" votes were recorded by Democrats. 
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) - In the Senate, 26 Democrats voted against it vs. only 6 Republican "nays." In the House, 91 Democrats voted "nay" compared to 35 Republicans.
There has been no true women's rights bill presented in the past 20+ years.

Who has been exposed for hiring illegals for personal work? 
Nancy Pelosi
Mayor George Darden (Spring Valley, NY)
The Democrat-led US Government (which only paid them $1 per day)

What party has billionaires that own or bought electronic voting machines around the country?
Romney is no Republican (funny, but no laughing matter)
Which party has more billionaires? That's open to debate. But it seems fairly equal. 


Here's a hint to the guy who posted this (from a Libertarian, not another GOP hack):
Read stuff and learn first. Don't rely on the talking points you hear on DU or whatever other liberal source.
