Unlike Republicans,Democrats do not blame the other party as a first resort.
Republicans enter poltics usually as a venture capitalist endeavor.Such as Bush to change oil driling laws and tax codes.And Karl Rove pursuing a career out
a life-long personal vendetta over his hurt feelings for not being invited to the seual revolution.
Republicans are totally flexible on the topic of "values".To them,agreeing or disagreeing with segregation,or the sepereation of church and state,for example,depends on where the money is.
Truth be told,time has proven Republican have NO lock on values.
Who was it that cared for our elderly and poor children when no-one else would? Who provided desepearte women an alternative to the back alley.Who has stood up to racial bigotry,and ALL bigotry,in a way most Republicans dont have the guts?
that's right,the Democrats.
So that's the difference.Republicans are for the
hostile few,but the Democrats support the rights of ALL Americans.E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Even those concerned with the Presidents mishandlings of foreign and domestic policy.

Republicans are more pragmatic whereas Democrats have this unrealistic picture of the world. Republican are more logical;Democrats don't use logic. Republicans recognize and deal with the truth; Democrats deny the truth and make up their own, unless reality suits their purpose.

Democrats blame all of society's problems on the rich and successful. They believe they are successful because of privilege or corruption. They see the poor and unsuccessful as the disenfranchised and exploited members of society. The purpose of government is therefore to protect the weaker at the expense of strong. Therefore we should engage in social engineering in order to punish the successful and reward the failures.
Republicans see that society's biggest problem is the restraints on the successful and enterprising elements of society. If we unleash the free market capitalists then the economy will grow and society will benefit. Our problems are best handled through supply and demand of products. We should reward the productive elements of our society and benefits will trickle down to the poorer elements. Our government should step back because free enterprise does a better job of solving problems than government meddling.

ITi8s very simple in order for republicans to make money democrats have to go to work .In order for republicans to make a profit democrats have to work for wages that are lower then the actual value of the work provided .
REPUBLICANS say the wage should provide you food shelter and clothing but never enough to aquire the means of producing your own goods to sell .
Democrats believe in an honest days pay for an honest days work .
REPUBLICANS believe that part of the pay belongs to them and if they can not getit directly they will tax it out of you and give themselves a credit .
SO republicans live off the democrats and we recent them for making us all slaves to there greed and fraus .THEY rig the tax system to there own benefit right laws preventing open competition .Artificialy inflate the wages of government workers to keep the votes comming in by paying for them with massive benefits to government workers that only a few Unions in america have bargined for and recieved .
BUT all state employee's have health dental medical retirement and an above average salary to boot .
NOW being for small government it was never my goal to work for the state .BUT today you would be foolish not to and millions enjoy the safety of government work or should i say the bribe to show up at work and continue to vote for more government programs and spending .This is what politicians are good at .taking away the hard work and surpluses produced and give them away to ensure there continued relection .
IF you have over a million bucks today you are to rich to be in politics .cause all the laws written benefit the rich and becoming one of them should preclude you from service .

Democrats have no problem getting together, pointing to someone that makes money and saying, "we've voted, and you're going to give YOUR money to pay for our program".
Republicans have a problem with that.

They are one in the same now. It is only about labels and which party funds your campaign.
Typically it goes like this...The Rep think government should be small concentrating on domestic infrastructure (police, education, roads etc)and defense.(you reap what you sow)
Dems believe the government should be larger and expand their role into social programs. (tax the rich to feed the poor)

both parties believe in one thing- they got the attitude "whats in it for me". they are so out of touch with what they were elected for.
the whats in it for me attitude is whats damaging the country.
they can vote themselves a raise but squawk at voting to raise the minimum wage unless they get something in return. the estate tax for example.
