Answer 1

I'll be concentrating on the main differences I consider to be important for each political party in sets... HERE IT GOES!

Republicans - Higher attendance rate to church. They believe any religion should be able to pray in school. They also believe evolution should not be taught in school.
Democrats - Have a lower attendance rate to church. They believe you should never be able to pray in school and evolution should be able to be taught. Evolution is a warped view of Creationism. Scientists can't prove evolution to be true. They pull this stuff like, "To the best of our knowledge" or "This was supposedly." LIKE I'LL BELIEVE THAT!

Republicans - Believe abortion is immoral and they believe the moment the woman finds out she's going to have a baby, the baby is living, breathing, and has a soul. They believe this could be used to create a pefect person like "all people should have blue eyes or have certain hand eye coordination skills."
Democrats - Believe abortion is moral and should be used to save a human life with the threat of killing another living and breathing soul.

Republicans - They abide by the laws with leaks. George W. Bush never with held information from the American people. He has the power to with hold information. The American people aren't the first priority. Safety is in terms of our government.
Democrats - Playing this game that Bush with held information when he was going with the law. I'm sorry if I offend, but this is an observation. "If a Democrat does it, it's always fine, but if a Republican does it, oooo, that's a criminal offense." People tick me off and people are ignorant by nature. I absolutely hate double standards.

Republicans - Believe we went into Iraq for our own security and to free Iraq of the tyrrany, not to make money off of oil. They think if we we were in the war to steal oil, we would've done it already.
Democrats - Are against the war b/c they want Bush out of office and to be impeached, but he's dealing with a war. Of course we're going to loose a significant number of men and women.

Republicans - They're for abiding by the government.
Democrats - They like to bend the rules more or less.

Democrats are usually less modest with money than Republicans. However, that's in the government, not on a social status of course.

Republicans were more fair to blacks in the first place. Democrats try to catch you with a pick up line to make you think otherwise and to brain wash your mind in a way.

I wasn't trying to discriminate towards either party. I was just telling the truth.

QueenE is right.

Answer 2

Democrats talk about the different policies, positions, and priorities we'd see from a Democrat in the White House versus a Republican.

Most Democrat and Republican politicians - including Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Bush - hold similar positions on major issues - and that's why we need a real choice at the polls: a party that gives power to "We the People" instead of powerful corporations.

If you look at where the candidates and parties stand on the issues you can see that the Democrat and Republican parties are in basic agreement on most issues OR they agree to ignore important issues.

Answer 3

I had this argument today about why Clinton wasn't "as bad as" Bush. The guy told me he'd rather have the "lesser of two evils". My position is that we shouldn't "HAVE TO" put up with either, whether it's a President with no honor or a President lying to the people. To me, there is no difference. Gas prices are still too high, taxes are too high, money is spent for somebody else's betterment, and no administration has ever done anything significant for my life. My husband was in Iraq under Clinton and he is in the Middle East under Bush. NO difference.

Answer 4

Democrats want fairness for everyone, Republicans want fairness for the rich, the prejudiced, the greedy, or all of the above.
