Republican or Democrat, why?

Question

What have they done for you?

Thanks for the thoughts, I am trying out how to decide to vote next election, I wanted to give everybody a fair chance. Thanks to the Libertarians and Independents.

Answer 1

To answer your question I would say Republican but in actuality I am a Conservative Constitutionalist. Nowadays many that claim to be Republican no longer act like it.

On the whole, my observations are that Democrats (more specificly Liberals) tend to whine about problems without offering viable solutions. They also tend to have a more negative outlook on life as with the case of the environment, the so called man made global warming, etc.

It is my perception that Conservatives, not always Republicans, tend to find the real world solutions. Liberals, not all Democrats, tend to create "solutions" that end up only being meritous in an idealistic/utopian world. Case in point--raising taxes to give handouts (a liberal practice) is not the answer to fight poverty. We must encourage people to desire to better themselves, then they will want to rise up out of poverty. This is a personal or intrinsic motivation and government handouts cannot substitute for this.

Answer 2

I'm Republican. For as long as I've been around, The democrats have been pro high tax, pro large government, and they criticize very selectively, offer no solutions, and have extremists as high ranking members of their own party. An example lately, several democrats senators voted against a bill that makes English the official language of the US. Ted Kennedy was one. What possible reason would they vote no other than because it was a republican sponsored bill. There recent criticism of everything Bush even if it help the terrorists
really gets me. They never offer Solutions.

The first election I ever in was Carter vs. Reagan. I voted republican ever since. Ronald Reagan was a great man. Jimmy Carter was and still is worthless. He might be a nice guy but he sucked as president and we are still paying for his policies. You can't have a passive president. The rest of the world will be more than happy to screw the US. The republicans are much more patriotic, troop supporting, American tradition supporting, normalcy supporting.

Answer 3

Republican - I work hard for my money & I want to decide what charity to give it to, not the US goverment deciding on my charities. I support the military & want them to have the best & I am very patriotic. I do not look for what is wrong but I see what is right in the United States of America. When I do not like the president I mumble not call this great country names. I want to help bring others to democracy, but I do not care about oil or gas prices. I believe in the good of the duly elected President. I believe terrorist grow stronger with every critical word spoken against the US goverment. I believe in free speech but not when it is used to help the terrorist. There used to be blackouts * radio silences to protect from attacks, now we just need duct tape on some mouths.

Answer 4

Republicans have done what they think is necessary to protect this country and return us to traditional Christian values, the way God and the Founders intended this country to be run.

Democrats have done nothing by try to tear this country down, and tear it apart, with their radical ideas.

This country is a republic, not a democracy. So, the Republican party obviously has the only proper approach to running it.

Answer 5

Republican because unlike you, I don't believe in murdering children.... hey, call me crazy! Also, I don't believe in my money being taken from me and handed over to people who don't want to work. Especially all these hispanics who come over here w/their millions of children and are lazy and don't want to learn english. Also, the democrats want to allow gays to marry. Might as well let some sicko marry a sheep. What's the difference. They're both sick and unnatural! I don't want to ever have kids if they're going to have to grow up w/gay marriage in front of them while they're learning the TRUE meaning of marriage in the correct form and not some sick twisted way that the liberals want to change it to.

Answer 6

Democrat because with the last tax cut for the rich, Republicans raised the student loan interest rate on the poor.

Answer 7

Neither, because it really doesn't make any difference. Free elections are a myth. All major elections are controlled by the Illuminati. Whoever they want in power, they put in power. In reality, we do not live in a free society, only an illusion thereof.

Answer 8

mostly republican, cuz the democrats scare me. They are not like they used to be and they seem to have become more like a communist party then a democratic one.

Answer 9

Nothing, that's why I vote Libertarian.

Answer 10

I vote for who ever is the better candidate.
