Beneath the obvious differences in opinion and in the political spectrum, I think they're the same: political nutjobs who will do anything they can to win. A couple gets arrested for refusing to remove their anti-Bush shirts at a pro-Bush rally in West Virginia, and yet I heard the same thing happened to people opposing John Kerry. The Dems hate Dubya with a passion, and yet they stoop to the same level. They say they're against the war in Iraq---well, what are they going to do to fix that problem? Are they gonna pull our troops out, or leave 'em like Kerry wanted to?

Absolutely we are. Here is what I believe in and there are many fundamental differences:
- I believe in war as a last resort or unless we or an ally have been attacked. IEs, Gulf War and Pearl Harbor
- I believe in UN support and if the UN is corrupt, instead of bailing on them, fix it.
- I believe we have a duty to pay our elderly social security because they paid those funds when they were working. That is like robbing them if we do not pay it back.
- I do not believe trickle down economics of Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr works. It never works. I believe in Clinton's economic system that is commonly referred to as Pay-As-You-Go.
- I believe in FDR's New Deal that the republican party has been trying to destroy piece by piece.
- I believe our social programs that keep families from living under bridges prevent us from becoming a 3rd world country.
- I believe in welfare but I also believe in Clinton's welfare reform where it is limited to 2 to 3 years in a lifetime. This prevents ppl from living on it their entire life; thereby, prevents welfare abuse.
- I believe in universal healthcare because a healthy nation is a powerful nation and also the pharmcy/insurance companies are corrupt.
- I believe in government regulation of monopolies such as power/energy, cable and telephone companies. Everytime the government deregulates these industries, they promise the price will go down but it never does... it always increases thereby increases the cost of living.
- I do not believe in making laws that violate constiutional rights... such as the Patriot Act or even seatbelt laws.
- I do not believe in making new laws everytime a problem arises; but rather, to fix the problem.
- I believe in gay marriage because gay ppl pay taxes too and heteorsexual couples should not be given special rights by the states just because they are straight. Otherwise take away those special rights and don't allow the state to recognize anyone's marriage.
- I believe in a woman's right to choose because just as the Supreme Court has ruled, a woman has a constitutional right to privacy over what happens to her body.
- I believe in the right to own a gun because it is a constitutional right.
- I believe in the constitution 110% and the liberties it allows each citizen.
- I am anti-illegal immigration because simply, they break the law by entering illegally.
- I believe in complete separation of church and state per the constitution and as interpreted by Thomas Jefferson who stated, "thus building a wall of separation between Church and State"
- I believe in SMALL GOVERNMENT in terms of big brother staying the hell out of my business. I've never participated in a census and refuse to. I am a LIBERAL and believe government has NO RIGHT to stick its nose in my business.

He became into the better selection. Coakly became right into a democratic crony and might have made an identical vote in this occasion in accordance with that. So Brown voted to take a water downed version of the GOP jobs bill, it is larger then no jobs bill, and with the democrats on top of issues, that became into the only different option, this is different from they might pass the GOP jobs bill in tact besides. So it became right into a clever circulate on his section, and shows that he's keen to artwork for the era of celebration traces.

Yes the dems are better. You need to understand the basic agendas that the two parties represent. The republican party exists to serve the interests of corporations and the wealthy elite who control them. The dems exist to serve the common people. Look at the charts on the bottom half of this page and see if you think there's a difference.

If you think the Dems are as bad as the GOP, what are YOU going to do about it?
Have you started a third option? Or are you just bellyaching?
The GOP has had its chance. Nothing but disaster has happened with everything that W or his minions touch. It's time for someone else to try.
So that's the Dems, unless you've got an alternative.

Both favor large government, heavy regulation, big spending, and have consistently shown a greater interest in their own political agendas than in the interests of the American people.
The reasonable alternative is to stop the incumbent drag, and head in a new direction.
Think independently. Vote Libertarian.

two sides of the same coin. neither one is going to do nothing for the working class, one is for big business and the other will tax you to death to furnish the give away programs.

Only if you like higher taxes. The capital gains tax cut INCREASED capital gains tax revenue by fifty percent.

Nope. Dems have no political platform, no security plan, and no worthy presidential candidate.

I think we need to make a new party that we all like.
