They want to restrict women's reproductive rights, they want to require intelligent design be taught in schools, they want to allow companies to discriminate against gays, lesbians, and transgender people.

They want to privatize the school system so religious parents can spend taxpayer dollars on religious schools and so that our neediest students aren't able to get an education and so that our public schools fail due to underfunding. They want to treat corporations as people, and people as anything but people. I'm so sick of people saying the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans. It's like saying the common cold is as bad as cancer.
That is all true (except I think Democrats love big business as much as Republicans). A big concern for me though is Bush's neo-cons are fleeing to Hilary and she is proud to be advised by Henry Kissinger - considered a war criminal by some (e.g. he turned a blind eye to Pakistan committing genocide in Bangladesh). On social issues the parties are certainly different but Hilary is a Republican on war and foreign policy.
