What is the major differences between Democrates and Republicans policies?

Question

I don't live in the USA .... And i don't know much about Politics there ! So hope your answers will help !
Is G.W Bush a democrate or Republican ?
How do people became Democrates or Republicans ... Is that a family or personal choice ?

Answer 1

G.W.B is not one or the other, he is alone. once he was a Rep. but now he is God's gift to George himself, sorry to say.

All political choices are free to change at any time. Some are families yet still free to change, there is no caste system.

Elections get you voted into office for 2 or 4 years.

Still only 2 parties in thew USA.

Answer 2

It used to be the Republicans were for the rich and democrates were for the workers. Still seems like that with the unions telling their members to vote democrate. Bush is a republican. His Father was a good president. Family's vote as each one wants too. Some are all republicans or all democrates, others are divided up who they think will be the best person to vote for. Makes for lots of discussion. Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

Bush is a republican.

I would advise you to ignore most of the answers you get here, (except this one) if your question is serious. Most of the answers will be very prejudiced and will slam one side or the other. Do your own homework on a site that is NOT Yahoo! Answers to get a better view of what both of these parties stand for,

Answer 4

Republicans are for the wealthy people, and yes Bush is a Republican And the Democrats are for the poor and middle class people,

Answer 5

Each of the major political parties focuses on different aspects of the Constitution as most important. In the Preamble to the Constitution, there are five goals (values) of the US government: "establish Justice, to ensure domestic Tranquility, to provide for the common Defense, to promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty"

Conservatives think the most important are "to ensure domestic Tranquility" (meaning to promote conformity with 'traditional' ways) and to "provide for the Common Defense". Most conservatives are Republicans, who (nowadays) want group rights (conformity with 'traditional' values) and a large government to ensure domestic tranquility (by enforcing those conservative majority beliefs). Moderate republicans (originally called fiscal conservatives) want a small government, just large enough to provide for the common Defense.

Liberals think it's more important to "promote the general Welfare, and ensure the blessings of Liberty". Most liberals are Democrats, who want individual rights and a large government to promote the general welfare. Moderate democrats don't want a lot of wasteful spending, and want to achieve their goals without causing too many problems. Democrats do have a Conservative wing, which focuses on better ethical leadership and greater protection for both groups and individuals. The main difference is that conservative democrats still don't believe in enforcing their views on the minority, even if their own personal choices would be the same as what conservative republicans would make.

The concept of promoting Justice is important to both camps, but their idea of justice differs. Most camps of the liberal parties believe ensuring Justice requires favoring defendants, preferring the guilty to go free rather than sending the innocent to prison. Republicans and conservatives believe the promoting Justice requires being harsh to those accused, even if that occasionally inflicts sentences on the innocent.

Interestingly, the spectrum is not linear, and has more than one dimension. There are other political parties who focus on different combinations of those values. For example, Libertarians want a small government (no wasteful spending) and very little Welfare (few if any entitlements), but strong on Defense. Libertarians also want lots of protection for individual civil rights, to secure the blessings of Liberty. They feel that Tranquility will take care of itself, and doesn’t need government enforcement of morality. As such, they are moderate about most issues, except for being adamant that the majority should not impose its beliefs on the minority, as part of their way to promote Justice.

So, it basically comes down to which sets of Constitutional values each group thinks are most important. And the choice to belong to each group is personal. While there is a tendency for younger people to follow the same platform as their parents, this is neither required nor universal.


Finally, Bush is a Republican, specifically a Neo-Conservative.

Bush is a Rep., most Americans grow up following the ideals of their parents, until maturity then it all changes, Demo vs Rep is like a cat fight one says white the other says black but its what they call freedom of speech and beliefs.
