Question

wow i'm sorry i asked this question

Answer 1

To be a Republican you must believe;

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime
-- unless you're a conservative media host. Then it's
an "illness," and you need our prayers for your
recovery.

The United States should get out of the United
Nations, but our highest national priority is
enforcing United Nations resolutions against Iraq.

"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers
and moving their jobs to India.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own
body, but multi-national corporations can make
decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Jesus loves you, and He shares your hatred of
homosexuals, environmentalists, and Hillary Clinton.

The best way to improve military morale is to praise
the troops in speeches while slashing veterans'
benefits and combat pay.

Daily prayer in school is important for the moral
teaching of our youth--as long as it is a Christian
prayer. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others should
convert or keep quiet.

Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins -- unless
you someday run for governor of California as a
Republican.

If condoms are kept out of schools, teenagers won't
have sex.

Unregulated free trade is capitalism at its
best--unless it adversely affects a business sector
key to your re-election.

The United States alone is above international law.

Government should relax regulation of Big Business,
Big Energy, and Big Money, but crack down on
individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of
terminal illness.

A good way to eliminate terrorism is to belittle our
long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and
money. A better way to eliminate terrorism is to
attack much smaller, poor countries without
provocation.

HMOs and insurance companies have the public interest
at heart.

Revocations of individual freedoms due to perceived
security threats should not be questioned. Those who
ask for justification are unpatriotic.

Randomly-timed alteration of congressional districts
solely to increase Republican seats is what the
Founding Fathers had in mind.

Second Amendment rights (as interpreted by Charlton
Heston) are more important than First Amendment
rights.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy.
Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

Losing the popular vote still gives you a public
mandate for radical change.

Global warming, alternative fuels, and tobacco's link
to cancer are junk science, but creationism should
replace science in school curricula.

The media that supports the Bush wars, the Bush tax
cuts, and the "Patriot" Act but spent 8 years pursuing
and embarrassing Clinton is still too liberal.

Government regulation of individual rights must be
limited as a hallmark of our free society--unless
you're talking about what consenting adults do in
private.

Saddam Hussein was a good guy when Reagan armed and
financed him, a bad guy when Bush Sr. made war on him,
a good guy when Cheney conducted business with him,
and a bad guy when Bush Jr. needed a "we can't find
Bin Laden" diversion.

Invoking the phrase "September 11th" gives you the
right to take any policy steps you deem necessary.

The US government knows what's right for all other
cultures and has the right to overthrow foreign
governments and change economic systems as it sees
fit.

To kill is utterly immoral and wrong. To show how
wrong it is, you will be righteously killed if you
kill.

Democracy and free debate are the foundations of our
great country and should be encouraged
worldwide--unless you're an ally who disagrees with a
US policy, in which case you should be isolated and
ridiculed.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle
trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of
our business.

Treating all people equally and fairly is the root of
our justice system--unless you're a Muslim male, in
which case you're automatically regarded as
suspicious.

Letting our children see anything more loving than a
kiss on television will corrupt their minds and lead
to ill-behavior. But letting them watch gratuitous
violence with weapons is a patriotic tradition.

You support States' Rights, which means Attorney
General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter
initiatives they have a right to adopt.

Invading Islamic countries is a good excuse for
ignoring severe recession and other social ills at
home.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital
national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is
irrelevant.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because their government is
communist, but trade with communist China and Vietnam
is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Answer 2

When I first tried to get some insight into the different political views in the usa I came up with some starting answers.Last week I asked what are liberals and consevatives,I did'nt know Now I am anti bush and make no apoligies for that, in fact I think he is a war criminal Now to sum up the political intellect of both parties.The conservatives believe that might is right and thier petriotic duty is to pursue this conflict to the bitter end.Further they believe that not hold a similiar view is unpatriot Liberals are just as patriotic but have a different agenda they feel theres been enough name calling under the guise of patriotism, it is time for a better way
If you look up my profile you will see I have been threatened with violence even murder by conservatives.Which only enhances my opinion that thiers is blinkered vew

Answer 3

I was told once that Republicans believe that there will always be a "have" and a "not-have," and someone has to be part of the "haves," so why not them? The Democrats believe in helping the "not-haves," even if it means they are dragged down to the "not-have" level. Of course this sounds like it was coming from someone that is a liberal.

Answer 4

Republicans are pro-life then start a war. Refuse to help the living or the environment (also a living entity). Hide behind religion to get election and make deals with big business.

Democrats are pro-choice then spend money trying to save animals from extinction, the environment and poor people. Support small business. And despite what Ann Coulter says to sell books - Dems are also religious.

Answer 5

Realist versus Idealist. Common Sense vs. Philosopher

Answer 6

90% of the US has very similar views, IMHO. But the other 10% is the radical right and left. Unfortunately, these two radical groups rules our country. Too bad we can't get politicians who would cooperate instead of fight all the time!

Answer 7

Your answer: liberal,,,, not limited,,, free from bigotry,,,

My response: Really? Why is it liberals are always trying to shut down freedom of religious expression? Why is it liberal organizations hate people of faith?

Liberals are open minded about anything to which they agree. But, if you don't agree with them they will try to censor you.

Answer 8

A liberal is one who is more open to all points of view. A conservative states their point of view and holds to it.

Answer 9

Republicans are the stupid party.
Democrats are the evil party.

Answer 10

democrats are poor and republicians are rich that is the difference between the two.
