Just some thoughts to some of your statements:
Whenever a republican mentions American exceptionalism consider their presidential candidate hide money made in America off shore. And no one seemed to care. When Obama continues to hide his records of his schools, college entrance, grades, passport, etc. no one on the Democratic side seemed to care. Why was that?
Whenever a republican says the same thing as another republican ask yourself again, where is freedom when the same words are repeated robot-like over and over again. Could it mean that it happens to be true?
Whenever a libertarian politician talks about government being too big consider their desire to have government control women's reproductive rights and family contraceptive rights. A woman can control her own productive rights by paying for it herself. Take control, lady!
Whenever a republican mentions entitlements ask yourself why only the wealthy and corporations are entitled to the resources of America. Just like anything else, a person is entitled to four televisions when he can pay for them. If you want that last tv, don't come knocking on my door.
Whenever a republican mentions American exceptionalism think again of tax credits for outsourcing American jobs. Let's discuss this one further.
Whenever a republican says the Affordable Care Act is complicated, ask yourself why healthcare is only complicated when it includes all Americans and not just the entitled.
It's not just complicated, it's unnecessarily so. All they had to do was extend coverage competition across state lines. And keep the promises the president made.
Whenever politicians say the federal government is too large look closely at why and what they do with local within government. Let's also take a look at Congress and just how competent they are.
Whenever republicans (Cruz, Lee, or Paul) mention government as the problem consider where they work, who supports their many benefits and perks, and what they actually accomplish. Oh, and who pays for their healthcare. Or Reid and Pelosi.
Whenever republicans rant about terminated insurance policies, ask them where they were last year, the year before, and .... ask them too for their solution. They were on the outside of the door where the Democrats were making policy, refusing their contributions and the Democrats passed the bill into law without the Republicans help.
Whenever a conservative republican mentions their Christian values think of the sequester and how it has hurt children and the elderly while they changed the rules so they can travel more easily. What are you talking about?
Whenever republicans mentions American exceptionalism consider that inequality in America is now equivalent to third world nations. First of all, there is no longer "American exceptionalism," and the equality you speak of is a normal upper, middle and lower class structure of any society. In a capitalistic society, the people are free to move from class to class as they take their own future into their hands.
Whenever republicans mention unions ask yourself why Walmart workers qualify for food stamps. Can we, at the same time ask why 2/3 of the same employees are not on food stamps?
