Difference Between Republicans and Democrats:
A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.
Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats

Hey guys this is the political section and not one of you knows the difference between those two parties??? it is very simple: The republican platform>>> The power and control of the government should be in the hands of the rich, the powerful and from there those people create industries, business,money producing machineries, that creates more jobs and somehow that money trickles down to the lower classes and make those lower classes improve in all areas The democrat platform>>>the only way to have a strong economy is by improving the lower classes directly, Education, providing a better life for them so the environment help those lower classes to progress, so they get eater jobs and be a contribution to the society, You get the picture... Republicans go from top to bottom. Democrats from bottom to top, then we choose whom we do like better. Note: that's the basic platform, doesn't mean they will follow it

The philosophies of the parties are very different. Democrats are usually of the working class and as such, believe in the need for social nets for the elderly, the poor and the sick. Therefore, priorities as to where tax dollars go is different than the Republicans.
World philosophy is based on diplomacy rather than military might although, our largest and most successful wars have been under Democrat administrations.
Republicans are usually members of the richer class, believe in little or no government restrictions on businesses, are quicker to use military might to solve world problems rather than diplomacy and believe in the 'trickle down' effect. Cuts the taxes for the rich and the money will trickle down to the less well-off.

I base this on the reaction from every individual bases of suffering (sense I believe that everyones reaction to life is based on some level of suffering), and causes and conditions of view and maturity level.
Republicans react to the believe that suffering is caused from internal circumstances (It's your fault), were Democrats believe that suffering is caused from external circumstances (It's someone else's doing).
Republican mature to an ethnocentric view. Democrats mature to an worldcentric view. Both are still in egocentric when it comes to the motivation factor.
Both fight each other with the "I'm right and your wrong" attitudes (the egocentric factor).
Personally, I believe that each person is correct in there truth, and incorrect about judging the truth of others when it come to others view of life.

Dems believe in an economy that is supported by small businesses, while Reps are for big business, mainly factories, corporations etc. There are websites that will give you the bigger view on these parties. Stay away from this website, as it's mainly rhetoric and brainwashed partisan politics.

A Democrat is a person who embraces change, they tend to want higher taxes to pay for programs that help out the citizens. They also belief the government should stay out of your personal life. They try to be the mother. Republicans will tend to try to get as much into your personal life as legally possible, keep taxes low and take away as many programs as they can, and they tend to try to keep things from changing. The facts of how the parties feel about change is where you get the nicknames Liberal, and Conservative from. Also when people refer to the GOP (Grand Ol' Party) they are talking about the Republicans

Democrats=Entitlement dependency, groups trump individual, cut and run, appeasement, no principals.
Republican=Independence, individual trump groups, strong national defense, defend principals.
